Oh man, wicked album. One of my fav's when I was younger. Was definitely out of place in 94/95.

For me this is their best album. "Rear View Mirror" is an excellent tune from them.

How did you like it?

Not the first time I had heard the album. I have the CD. Sounded great on vinyl and sitting down to listen to the whole thing gave me much more appreciation for the album. Definitely enjoyed it.
 
Another, been on the shelf for while, and just getting opened tonight.

Foo Fighters self titled, Lp.
 
Preparing to start pulling tracks for my next mix which is going to be a jazz piano/ organ tape. Started off this project today by listening to and recording:

Sonny Clark~
Cool Struttin'
Dial "S" For Sonny
Sonny's Crib

Audio Technica AT LP240/ AT120E > Toshiba Satellite laptop via Audacity(24/96)

Only 36 albums or so to go!
 
Douglas: Probably, the most intensive part of the process, isn't it? I start off recording a number of tracks more than I need to complete a Master. You must have lots of jazz on vinyl. It's one of the most difficult music to find in used records at the thrift stores, and sometimes at the used record shops.

Nando.

By far the longest part of the process for me. I figure each jazz album takes me about 45 minutes to an hour to rip, edit and catalog. I made it easier on myself this time around by eliminating several musicians from the recording pile this time around: Dave Brubeck, Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, Monk and Jimmy Smith were all passed on for this mix. Would have been another 40 records to deal with.
 
Working my way through the Shell Cruisin' Classics tapes.
Copying them to the hard drive so I can make CDs of them for my wife.
Its a six tape set put out by Shell.
Some good stuff on them.

Billy Cobham, drums; Larry Young, organ. Looks like the Seattle stop for the concert tour was on September 7, 1973. I was there - a fiery show.
 
SLF--The "Mugwumps"?? That's a good one. Would have loved to catch the Santana show.
 
Dennis, I think I know the words to all those songs. Now that dates a feller...Good stuff, all of it.
 
Leslie West, "Still Climbing"

Leslie West, "Still Climbing"...

West has overcome methadone addiction and the loss of his lower right leg, surgically removed in 2010 due to complications from diabetes, to return to the best form he's been in in years. I think it's some of his best work. His guitar tone is freaking AWESOME as always, it sounds like P-90's on steroids. Vocally he is really sounding fine too. Johnny Winter, Jonny Lang, Dee Snyder, and Mark Tremonti join in for a cool album. I've just completed my first listen and it's really good. Plus, it's a GREAT RECORDING to show off your equipment. You go, Leslie!!!
