What vinyl are you listening to?

[shropshire lad]

It's been a while (years in fact) since I played this one.

Great album . I've played it within the last two months , time for another spin .

I've got Floating Music by Robert Schroeder playing at the moment .

Where can I get this?

Ba Da Bing are temporarily out of stock. The curse of the glowing review strikes again.

Some places are still claiming stock, though. At the moment Piccadilly Records are showing some, as are Juno, so as long as you don't mind buying online you can enrich your life sooner rather than later.

Thanks Simon

Have just ordered from Piccadilly.

I have an original copy of Spirit Of Eden which I found dirt cheap in a charity shop many years ago, so quite excited to see how this sounds in comparison.

To me, Laughing Stock is the better album of the two, but there's not much in it.

Thanks again....

My pleasure. I got my copy of Spirit of Eden in a Charity shop, too - it's thin and bendy but it sounds OK (once I'd paid to put it through the local secondhand vinyl emporium's Monks, anyway). I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the relative quality.

Anyhow, it's Sunday night and the kids are in bed, so

at modest volume.

So far today (my last day off before a 7-day week!)

It's been a great day. Really long listening session, following on from this morning's choices:

The Queen LP is a brand new copy and very good too!

 

[DIB]

A recent purchase from the Diverse Vinyl stand at the Manchester Show, this is a really top band (funk/soul/r'n'b) with an excellent vocalist at the front...

.

 

[Lost Angeles]

Poor man's Moody Blues - superb. Both albums sound great on vinyl.

 

[DIB]

Disc 2 finally arrived today from Burning Shed Records, so I now have the complete double album...

Steven Wilson - Grace for Drowning

I really like this stuff, X-Factor it most certainly isn't.

1) Infidels - Bob Dylan

Rarely features in the slew of Bob lists, but it's pretty good in the context of his oft underwhelming 80's output.
Sly & Robbie as rhythm section too. Jokerman is surely in Bob's top 100 songs.

2) Circuital - My Morning Jacket

Saw them in Manchester last night, so the latest LP by my favourite band of the last decade is getting another blast.

3) Smile - The Beach Boys (the vinyl section of the Smile Sessions box).

Spoilt by a surfeit of incredible songs and arrangements.

4) Obey The Time - Durutti Column

It snook out around the time of the silly Madchester thing, but still no sniff of commercial success for Vini.

KT Tunstall plus a guitar.......nicely intimate

 

[matthewpiano]

New Columbia 180gm pressing purchased last year. Sounds absolutely superb.

Also, the Vinyl Lovers 180gm pressing of Alan Parsons Project 'Tales of Mystery and Imagination'. Really superb pressing and the best I've heard this album sound (I've also got the Deluxe Edition CD version):

 

[matthewpiano]

Sun Giant EP and the Fleet Foxes album, 2 LP set. Stunning.

The original Island pressing of:

...and a new Sundazed pressing of:

Motorhead ~ Bomber . Just because it has worked its way to the top of the pile .

A nice day off work today, so been playing a couple of oldies from the 70's..

I think Thin Lizzy were starting to go through the motions with this one,rather weak I feel. However the Bob Seger LP is a cracker, it must be 10 years since I last played it.

Found another gem...

 

[CJSF]

Been unwell today, so not at work . . . eventually got to the TT at around noon, spent the afternoon going through some of my 80's LP's, dug out a whole load of audiophile pressings by 'Chesky Records'. I did not realise I has so many quality vinyls, currently listening to this one on the Gimell Label, Circa 1986, Gramophone 'record of the year', not sure about the DMM mastering process? never the less, its a great listen.

Found another gem...

I love that album.

I inherited the CD version from my late father-in-law's jazz collection. Also, he bequeathed me this Verve CD too..

I bet this is a good LP too. A great introduction to Oscar Peterson.

[DIB]

Meanwhile, a play through for this 1969 Liberty Records sampler..

Delightful cover.

Her is a blast from the past, digging through the old LP's again this afternoon, always been a fan of Sandy Nelson, but only ever had this one LP . . . This has not seen the light of day since the early eighties, I put it on out of nostalgia . . . wow!!! drive, dynamics, attack, 'sharp as' !!!! . . . Its typically an early 60's recording left, right and middle, but the cleanliness and leading edges are outstanding. Its a 'best of' record . . . so the sources could be dubious, however with such a clean transcription I suspect its in the main from original master tapes, almost certainly valve equipment, no digital messing about, simply, Sandy giving a personal performance in your music room. Fall over it in a boot sale, worth a £1, it will blow the cobwebs off your system, trust me.

I've heard most of these tracks on CD and downloads, they simply dont compare!!!

'Best of Sandy Nelson', put this link up cos the site wont let me put a picture in:

Funny you should mention early 60's "Best of" LP's CJSF and their quality. I bought this LP at a carboot earlier in the summer for next to nothing, dates from the early 60's on the Columbia label, and is a quite outstanding recording. Don't laugh...
