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
Mahler, Symphony No. 5, Barbirolli/New Philharmonia Orchestra, EMI SLS 785 - a marvelous performance and recording!

Great to be back. Finally obtained a new front end rig. Currently breaking in a new cartridge. This recent setup did not get in the way of a new record I recieved today.
Thorens 125th Anniversary 3 record set. First of all let me say the packaging of this set is phenomenal. A beautiful tri fold cover that when fully open reveals excellent color photographs of Blue Heaven Studios and the birthplace & photograph of Hermann Thorens.
This evening I played only one side which contains all blues selections. The recorded quality of the music and selection of songs were top notch. For me listening to this one side made me forget about audio and just revel in the music. Looking forward to hearing the other sides over the next couple of days. I want to savor this delectable treat. Highly recommended.
Whew!!! Three Guitar Virtuoso's. Al Dimeloa, John McLaughlin & Paco Delucia.
"Friday Night In San Francisco" Philips Records. Speakers Corner Reissue. Stellar recording musically and sonically. Want to test the speed of your system? This is the tool. Fun listening how DeLucia & Dimeola transition from playing sketches of Pink Panther theme and sliding right into a funky blues.

Thorens 125th Anniversary Album. Tonight side 5 the theme is Jazz. Excellent. Again recommended as I indicated above.
"Blood Sweat and Tears"

I hadn't broken this out in years. What a fantastic listen!
