Last night was:
Dylan At Budokan
Jonathan Edwards, self-titled
ELO, Face The Music (guilty, guilty pleasure)
Grand Funk, Phoenix (original pressing just bought)
Elton John, Empty Sky (orig UK pressing, no better than that US pressing, meh)
Joan Baez, Joan (Just bought for $2.99, flawless, blew me away!)
Joan Baez, Joan Baez (Another $2.99 find)
Joan Baez, Joan (Just bought for $2.99, flawless, blew me away!)
Many of the recordings made for the Vanguard/Vox/Turnabout labels were simply outstanding sonically. The Joan Baez Vanguard records were particularly nicely recorded by one of the great recording engineers: Marc Aubort. (See the Mike Fremer interview with Aubort in which he comments about recording Joan Baez and The Weavers, among other topics.) It's no wonder this LP sounds so good! Congratulations on finding a copy in good condition.
