Tonight...

Ben Webster, "Soulville" - Verve 8274 (Speakers Corner reissue) - yeah, it's great.

Skip James, "Today!" - Vanguard VSD 79219 (Pure Pleasure reissue mastered by Hoffman and Gray) - very clean and natural sound; recommended.

John Lee Hooker, "Sings the Blues (That’s my story)" - Riverside OBC-538 (Analogue Productions reissue)

John Lee Hooker, "Burnin' (1961)" - Get Back GET7502 (buy for the music not the sound, which is grainy and aggressive)
.

Led Zeppelin, 200g Classic Rock pressing of "Houses of the Holy" :-)

Iggy and the Stooges - Raw Power
I just got a new and fairly ratty CBS pressing of this classic slab of proto-Punk ca. 1973. David Bowie rescued this imploding/exploding combo from drug-induced oblivion just long enough for them to wax this great, great record. I hear the inspiration for every Punk band from the Sex Pistols to the White Stripes. As Jimmy Miller used to instruct folks when listening to the Stones, this record should be played LOUD!!!
