Whats on your turntable tonight?

Well, Merry Christmas vinyl lovers...

Last night we tried in vein to get through the

Orphans box set by Tom Waits on ANTI Records

Huge box, 7 Lps, nice!

and again, A lot of great vinyl has being mentioned on this thread over the years, if you love some titles that are either very rare on vinyl these days or have never been pressed, please add them to the "Wish List For Vinyl Pressings" here on AudioGon...

Happy Listening!

Ghosthouse: The Dire Straits "Private Investigations" has become a reference for some of us in our local club.It seems to me that all the Dire Straits recordings are excellent; low noise floor and very nuanced and uncompressed,but the "Love Over Gold" is the best of all.

I just got a nice copy of Mark Knopfler's music of the film
"Local Hero". Again,low sound floor,nuanced and uncompressed sounding.
There is a track where the beginning is a old car(bad muffler) starts up that can startle anyone (and usually does).

e

Al Green - Greatest Hits

Led Zeppenlin - II (unopened, green Mexican pressing from '81, pretty cool), IV (orginal '71 pressing, in great shape after a 3rd cleaning)

Cassandra Wilson - Loverly

Radiohead - Pablo Honey, new but with a significant warp, thank God for the periphery ring.

Tears for Fears - Seeds of Love (like new), Songs from the Big Chair

Badfinger - Straight Up, not a great copy, but hard to find a good one

Black Sabbath - Paranoid

Shelby Lynne - Just a Little Lovin (one of my all time Fav's)

e -
I messed up on the album title...but the track, Private Investigations is definitely one of my favorites. Glad you like it too. I have a vinyl copy of Local Hero...haven't played it in a while. I will have to it out. Merry Christmas to you.

Philb7777,

I must admit that after reading your post, in response to my admission to listening to the Producers, I went to the garage and grabbed the following albums, steam/Walker Solutions, cleaned them then had a very guilty '80's listening session:

The Power Station

Duran Duran - Rio

The Outfield - Play Deep

The Fixx - Reach the Beach

ahh, it feels good to get that off my chest, I've been feeling so guilty.
