Whats on your turntable tonight?

Ken, Robert's been after me about listening to the Doc Watson reissues for months; I just haven't had the time to clean it and listen. I owe him a phone call to congratulate him and Cisco on a great job reissuing those LPs. I'll HAVE to get "Southbound" now! And, as much as I like the original copy of Joan Baez's "Farewell, Angelina" I think I'll have to get the Cisco reissue of that now as well. Boy, this is going to be an expensive learning experience.

Another great re-issue is Ian & Sylvia's "Four Strong Winds" on the famous Vanguard label. This in one where the original Vanguard was not as good as some of the others from that time, however, the re-issue is stunning! :) Ken

Grieg's "Peer Gynt" (complete), Per Dreier/LPO, Unicorn UNS 75030 - a wonderful performance, definitely my favorite, of the complete Peer Gynt. Beautifully recorded by the great Bob Auger.

Dvorak, Pf Trio 3, op65, The Suk Trio, Supraphon 1411 2621/3

Bill Berry, "Shortcake" reissued by Pure Audiophile (PA-004, half-speed mastered by Stan Ricker, spread across 4 sides to allow for maximum dynamics, with three added bonus tracks - phenomenal! Link)

Respighi's "Brazilian Impressions" Mercury SR 90153, Speakers Corner reissue. (Most commonly known by the work on the flip side, "The Birds," Brazilian Impressions is by far the more compelling sonic recreation of the orchestra. Another outstanding Speakers Corner reissue from the Mercury catalogue. Link)

I'm baaaack!

Thanks to fellow 'GoNer Rushton, we were able to get a temporary fix on my Scoutmaster (Denon cart.) in order to start spinning vinyl again. My retailer is working with me to remedy what turns out to be a new Dynavector 17D delivered with a broken (read missing) stylus. No wonder we couldn't get it to track ;)

Anyway - let's get this thread moving forward again:
Gary Burton/Chick Corea - "Crystal Silence" (ECM 1024 ST)
Bill Evans - "New Jazz Conceptions" (Riverside 12-223)
Steely Dan - "Gaucho" (MCA-6102)
