Whats on your turntable tonight?

And spinning now is 'Friday Night in San Francisco' by John, Paco, and Al. I love this record!

Hello Troll from the Helge Lien Trio - this is Jazz at its best recorded by the ingenious Eric Kongshaug in his Oslo Rainbow Studios

best & fun only

Mendelssohn, A Midsummer's Night Dream, Maag/LSO, London/Decca (ORG 45rpm reissue) - this is a marvelous performance and an excellent recording. Great reissue!

Elvin Jones, Puttin' It Together, Blue Note BNLP4282-45 (Music Matters reissue)

Miles Davis: Live Evil

What a great album, and the japanese pressing is brilliant.

Count Basie - S/T [Brunswick mono LP '57] Early 78rpm sides

The Gants - "I Wonder" [Bam Caruso (England) LP comp. '88, rec. '65-'67] Selections culled from their three albums and six singles on Liberty

The Pentangle - "Sweet Child" [Reprise 2LP '68] Half live, half studio, all excellent

Hickory Wind - "At The Wednesday Night Waltz" [Adelphi LP '74] Local DC area acoustic group mixed bluegrass, traditional Piedmont folk and string-band influences

Hickory Wind - "Fresh Produce" [Flying Fish LP '75]

The Plimsouls - S/T [Planet LP '81]

To the discard pile:

The Hollywood Stars - S/T [Arista LP '77] Great as he is, Kim Fowley involvement (only some shared songwriting credits in this case) has never been a guarantee

Slade - "Till Deaf Do Us Part" [RCA (England) LP '81] Great as they were, this one is too late in the game
