Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
slipknot1
Oscar Peterson Plays Cole Porter Song Book..
ORIGINAL MG VS 62052 Stereo Verve/Hi-Fi-Living Sound Fidelity 1959. Bought by my Father in '60 at DoubleDay for $1.98..Still sounds incredible!!

The Fabulous Josephine Baker RCA Living Stereo Original LP LSC-2427..Excellent!
Kehut: I was just spinning Oscar Plays Cole this very morning, but on a German CD reissue. It really sounds extremely good -- not at all "digital" -- but I haven't done a direct comparison with the vinyl. (I have quite a few Peterson Verve LPs but don't recall offhand if this is one of them.)

Also today:

The Monochrome Set - Black & White Minstrels '75-'79 [Cherry Red]

Roland Alexander - Pleasure Bent: Hard bop saxophonist contemporary of Coltrane with a sweet middle register and a good head for changes.
Antibalas - Who Is This America: Fela-flavored Afro-funk via Brooklyn. Great horn driven booty shakin' music.
John Mayall - Turning Point: Post-Mick, Post-Peter, Post-Eric Mayall, but really good! Mostly acoustic Blues with tasty sax work by John Almond. Surprising.
Lee Morgan - Cornbread: Seminal hard bop masterpiece. Ceora is one of the most beautiful and memorable songs of the era. Blend of Morgan, Jackie McLean, and Hank Mobley is sublime.
