Donovan - Essence To Essence
(1974, Epic) WLP, STERLING RL in the deadwax, mastered by Robert Ludwig

a fun thrift find in the last few weeks. Donovan music holds up pretty well for me all these years later. Operating Manual For Spaceship Earth is a hoot.

Ray LaMontagne - Ouroboros
(2015, RCA)

just arrived this afternoon from Amazon. It was just over $10 when I ordered on Thurs - looks like the LP is up to $14 now, still a great deal. Great artwork and packaging on this gatefold LP, and killer music, epic songs, good sound quality and the vinyl is playing perfect so far.

Terje Rypdal - Whenever I Seem To Be Far Away
(1974, ECM)

intense

 

[speakerlabfan]

John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette - Gateway
(1975, ECM) STERLING in the deadwax

another great title from a recent crazy ECM estate sale collection pickup. and more hypnotic Dave Holland bass

Alan Parsons-------" Tales of Mystery and Imagination"

 

[laatsch55]

In an Alan Parsons mood----" Try Anything Once"....and I really don't care if the neighbors like it...

I think I have something like this on cassettes by Genesis and the Righteous Brothers.

Gigantes del Pop, that was it.

Bo Grumpus - Before The War
(1968, Atco) -1D/-2B

produced by Felix Pappalardi. mostly spacey folk psych - even a harpsichord on one song - with a punchy bass backing by Pappalardi.

Lou Reed - Legendary Hearts
(1983, RCA) STERLING in the deadwax, mastered by Greg Calbi

another great LP from Lou Reed singing straight from the heart.

Pink Floyd - More
(1969, Harvest)

 

[JustMike]

I just received these two Lp's today from Music Direct.
On Father's Day my three kids told me I had a gift on the way.
They must have known I needed a new copy of CSN.
The Anthony Wilson- Frogtown was a big surprise. Cool
Spinning soon

Steve Miller Band

Complete Greatest Hits




This one is hard to come by in the greater Bay Area circuit of record stores. Been looking for it for years.
Finally picked it up last weekend. It's the best collection of tracks offered on any SMB greatest hits offerings and the remastering is superb.

Booker T. & The MGs - Soul Dressing
(1965, Stax) MONO

scorching guitar and organ solos from Steve Cropper and Booker T.

 

[orange]

My Sharona on the radio, the other thing that made 1979 famous (other than The Wall and maybe Blondie).

Cal Collins - Milestones
(1984, PAUSA)

Straight ahead jazz guitar, recorded at a 1974 performance.

Jerry Garcia - Reflections
(1976, Round) -1A/-1C

have been wanting to hear Might As Well all day. Purchased new in 1976, I think it might be my favorite of his solo LPs.
