Whats on your turntable tonight?

A bit more research has revealed that The Swimmer soundtrack composed by Marvin Hamlisch (see my above list of found records) has actually been recently reissued on CD, here's a review.

Also, the early John Lee Hooker tracks issued on King label 78's under the pseudonym Texas Slim (ditto) have been reissued together for the first time sans later dubbed-over drums or echo, on CD by Varese Sarabande.

An early morning breakfast/listening session with friends (the best way to share music). some of what was listend to:
k.d. laing and The Reclines "Absolute Torch And Twang" (Sire 9 25877-1)
Louis Armstrong "Satchmo Plays King Oliver - St. James Infirmary" (Classic Records 200g 45 rpm version)
Dead Can Dance "Into The Labyrinth" (4AD DAD 3013)
Philip Glass "Soundtrack From Koyaanisqatsi" (Antilles/New Directions 7 90626-1)
Dire Straits "Brothers In Arms" (Warner 25264-1)
Clemencic Consort "Danses Anciennes De Hongrie" (Harmonia Mundi HM-1003)
Mahler "Symphony No. 3" Hornstein/LSO (Nonesuch HB-73023)
Hui Fen MIN/Wei LI "River Of Sorrow" (First Impression Music FIM LP-002) 45 rpm version
Duke Ellington/Ray Brown "This One's For Blanton" (Pablo 2310-721, Analogue Productions 45 rpm reissue)

There were several other LPs we listened to that others may post to this thread as well. it was a nice session with good friends, and everyone had things to share with the group.

Coleman Hawkins -Night Hawk on Prestige/Swingville 2016
This is another beautiful 45RPM Analogue Production reissue.

Ella and Qscar on Pablo/45RPM Analogue Production reissue.
Beautiful pairing. Sonically excellent.

Rolling Stones -Sticky Fingers on Mofi
Nice sonic detail and very quiet. Great guitar work once again. You can crank this one way up.

XTC -SkyLarking on a one-sided (B) white label test pressing from Virgin UK. What a find and yes it sounded supreme!

Yusef Lateef - Eastern Sounds on Transatlantic UK
One of my favorites from the hometown Detroit artist.

Bob Dylan -Modern Times on Columbia
What a solid album, the old guy's not nearly done yet.

Tom Waits -Mule Variations on Anti/Epitaph
Another strange and very cool outing. I can't tell you how disapointed I was to miss him in a rare live appearance at our opera hall. That might well have been a once in a life time event.

Doors -L.A. woman on Elektra/DCC
What more needs to be said, Steve Hoffman and vacuum tube cutting systems. Emmmmmm!

Tom Petty -Wildflowers on Warner Brothers.
Very under rated in my opinion. Nice.

We listened to quite a few more things but, these are the ones that stand out in my mind.

Happy Listening!

Back from RMAF, thought I should start posting to this thread again. Getting used to having Kharma loudspeakers in my listening room after living with Magnepans for so many years.

Donald Fagan "Morph The Cat" (Reprise 49975-1)
"Soundtrack From The Emerald Forest" (Varese Sarabande STV 81244)
Mark Knopfler "Soundtrack From Local Hero" (Warner 23827-1)

Sounds like a good evening, Joe! Wish I could be listening with you. For Sunday, I've pulled out the new Everest Khatchaturian reissue from Classic, an early Leo Kottke ("6 and 12 String Guitar"), the new Skip James "Today" reissue from Pure Pleasure, and a few other items.
