Whats on your turntable tonight?

Coldplay- Parachutes
Arlen Roth- Guitarist

The entire MFSL Beatles Box

I know lots of Beatle vinyl-philes don't love this set, but man, it's the best sounding Beatles vinyls I have ever heard (well, I have heard some of the red vinyl Japanese set, and it's prob better, but I have not heard all of it0.

Loving the Beatles and Football on a rainy Sunday!!

Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers - Caravan - Riverside RLP 9428 -45rpm Analogue Productions (Oh yes, just amazing. Its hard to imagine that Wayne Shorter and Freddie Hubbard were so young when they cut this record with Blakey.)

Loius Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald - Ella and Louis - Verve 4003 Speakers Corner (what joy! in this record)

Maria Callas - Callas Portrays Puccini Heroines - Angel 35195 (it's not the voice, it's the phrasing and ability to communicate the meaning. Love her or hate her, she's mesmerizing.)

Lorraine Hunt Lieberson - Neruda Songs - okay, its a CD, but the music and her voice are marvelous.
.

Tim Hardin - "The Best Of..." [Verve/Forecast LP '70, rec. '67] Writer of much-covered tunes such as "Reason To Believe", "If I Were A Carpenter", "Misty Roses" etc.
Roy Head & The Traits - "Treat Me Right" [Scepter LP '65]
Sweet - "Sweet Fanny Adams" [RCA UK LP '74]
Wes Montgomery - "The Incredible Jazz Guitar Of..." [Riverside/OJC CD '87, orig. '60] With Tommy Flanagan and the Heath brothers
Stanley Turrentine - "Joyride" [Blue Note CD '06, orig. '65] With big-band 'orchestra' arranged/conducted by Oliver Nelson

Some MFSL acquisitions:

McCoy Tyner - Sahara
Allman Brothers - Idlewild South
Roy Orbison - Greatest Hits
Beck - Sea Change (this sounds particularly amazing)

And I just got my Grateful Dead LP reissue set (yay) - listening to American Beauty now. I'll leave the rest until the weekend, I think.
