Whats on your turntable tonight?

Erstrand-Lind Quartet......A tribute to The Benny Goodman Quartet
Count Basie......................Basie Jam
Joni Mitchell......................Ladies Of The Canyon
Dexter Gordon...................Gettin' Around
Harry James And His Big Band........Still Harry After All These Years
Lionel Hampton..................The Lionel Hampton Quartet

Used these to tune my system after putting a PAD Aqueous Anniversary PC on the LAP-150 Mk ll by mostly increasing toe in of speakers. Levels up to 95db were comfortable and without "ringing" etc...!!!!

Just scored an unopened copy of Patricia Barber "Cafe Blue". It's about to go on.

Mo-Fi Silver label reissues of:

Dead Can Dance "Into the Labyrinth" and "Spiritchaser"

Buy them while you can, they are very well done.

Bert Jansch & John Renbourn - "Stepping Stones" [Vanguard LP '68]
The Bryds - "Live in Stockholm 1967" [Swingin' Pig LP '89] Six songs plus studio chatter from radio recordings by the post-Gene Clark four-piece lineup, not great but fun
The Kinks - "...Are The Village Green Preservation Society" [Reprise LP '69]
The Kinks - "Arthur (Or The Decline And Fall Of The British Empire)" [Reprise LP '69] Amazing to think that most successful bands can spend an entire career coughing up an obligatory album every few years and never produce even one cut (much less a whole LP's worth of 'em) that's the equal of any of the best on these two from the same damn year
Donovan - "Barabajagal" [Epic LP '68] Superlungs indeed
Herman's Hermits - "Blaze" [MGM LP '67] The one to play when they all snicker at your HH collection
The Troggs - "Love Is All Around" [Fontana LP '68]
Lothar And The Hand People - "Presenting..." [Capitol LP '68] Presumably the only group in history named after its Theremin...the opening cut "Machines" effectively presages Devo, and was written by legendary hitmaker Mort Shuman of all people! Too bad none of the band-penned tunes are quite as interesting
Jefferson Airplane - "Crown Of Creation" [RCA LP '68] I have to admit, now that I've relegated this one to the discard pile as well in spite of "Lather" and the title track, I'm down to but a single original JA record that I really have any use for (the sainted second)
The Beach Boys - "Surf's Up" [Brother/Reprise LP '71]
Junkers - 4 song EP [GenPop 7" '10] Baltimore's newest 'Paisley Underground'-revival style sensations, now known as Fossil Eyes
"White Bicycles: Making Music In The 1960's/The Joe Boyd Story" [Fledg'ling CD compilation '06] A souvenier from producer Joe's recent, and possibly still ongoing, memoir-reading tour (which was musically annotated by Robyn Hitchcock doing solo acoustic covers of the likes of Fairport Convention, The Incredible String Band, The Pink Floyd -- as they were known in the beginning -- Nick Drake, The Move, Tommorow, etc.)

Drive By Truckers- Brighter Than Creations' Dark
Musics' as good as the title!
