Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
slipknot1
Dylan - Blond on Blond - 45 rpm reissue from MFSL. I'm impressed with the sonics of this reissue. I'd been hearing a fair number of negative comments, but in my system and to my ears this is a terrific release.

Roy Gaines - I got the T-Bone Walker Blues - if you love the blues, you'll love this release by Roy Gaines from Groove Note Records. Four sides of 45 rpm goodness.

Poulenc - Gloria | Concerto for Organ, Strings and Timpani - Pretre/French National Radio Orchestra, Rosanna Carteri-soprano, Maurice Durufle-organist - EMI ASD 2835 - my favorite recording of both the Gloria and the Organ Concerto. Pretre captures this music superbly. Perhaps not the greatest recording sonically (a demonstrate disc when recorded in 1961 but not up to the best-of-the-best standards for today), but the EMI engineering is still very acceptable. Play it and fall in love with the huge French organ of Saint Etienne du Mont and the playing of Durufle.
First time in 6 months I've had the table working, in a new room, with all new gear. Pretty happy so far:

Big Star - No 1 Record

Pearl Jam - 10 (new pressing)

Sade - Promise

Black Keys - El Camino

Stone Temple Pilots - Core (new 180g) AWESOME

Heart - Dreamboat Annie

Led Zeppelin - II (1st Japanese Pressing)

Anita Baker - Rapture (crappy copy, but what a voice)

no Magnepan's is odd, but the Harbeth's with Cary/Audio Research in a small room is wonderful so far.
Schubert Trout quintet, live recording of Serkin et al at Marlboro Festival, beautiful recording of an exciting performance.
Brahms 3rd by Wand and the NDR,
Clouds in my Head, Arild Andersen on ECM
Vince Guaraldi - A Charlie Brown Christmas - Fantasy 8431 (45rpm reissue from Analogue Productions)(Oh yes, it sounds really good, too.)

Doug MacLeod - There's a Time - Reference Recordings - 45rpm (Very enjoyable blues!)

Charles Mingus - Ah Um - ORG/Columbia 45rpm

Bill Evans - Waltz for Debbie - Riverside 9399 (Analogue Productions 33rpm reissue)
.
Basie Live at the Sands - Mofi. it is very well done.
Ella and Louis 45 rpm from analog productions

Glass of red and great music!!!!!!
