Whats on your turntable tonight?

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)

•Count Basie - Fancy Pants
•Richard Thompson - Mock Tudor
•Jay Hoggard - Riverside Dance
•Mosaic box of Complete Pacific Jazz sessions of Chet Baker with Russ Freeman

Tonight:
Handel-Harty "Water Music Suite" Dorati/LSO (Mercury SR90158) Wonderful reading by Dorati, excellent recording by Robert Fine and Wilma Cozart.
Beethoven "Sonata in G Major for Piano and Violin" David Abel/Julie Steinberg (Wilson Audiophile W-8315)
Leo Kottke "6 and 12 String Guitar" (Takoma C-1024)
Miles Davis - "Kind of Blue" (Columbia CS8163/Classic Records 45 rpm reissue)

Slipknot1, Leo Kottke is great isn't he. Gotta love the fact that you can find his LPs used for $1-2 each and they are well recorded as well.
