Welcome @soundermn .

I have that lp on a WLP. Sounds great!

@reubent,

I have not heard that. Thanks for the heads up! If it's available on vinyl, it's right up my wheelhouse for sure.

"Rainy Day Music" has always been one of my favorites by them.

Vic Chesnutt  "North Star Desserter"

Cowboy Junkies  "Sing in my Meadows"

Spoon  "Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga"

Bush "Sixteen Stone"

@reubent,

Yeah, I bought it but it was defective, sent it back, never replaced it.

Actually, I think I saw they have a newer one out after "NOB".?

@ reubent,

Ever heard Timbuk 3 "Eden Alley"? Nice!

I own the HN lp as well.


........................................................................

Magnolia Electric Co. "Fading Trails" 

Robert Finley  "Goin' Platinum" 

My plan for the rest of the evening...

David Gilmore  "Rattle That Lock"
Graham Parker  "The Mona Lisa's Sister"
Bob Marley  "Exodus"  MFSL

Wow! The GP lp is sounding very, very good!

I know the BM lp will sound great from recent experience.

Happy Listening!

Bob Dylan  "John Wesley Harding"  45rpm/MFSL. (nice!)

Bonnie Raitt  "Luck of the Draw"

The Babys  "S/T"
Nikki Sudden and The Jacobites  "Texas"

I picked up a copy of Tommy Bolin's "Private Eyes" in the $2 bin at a record show a couple of years ago. After some TLC, I was impressed with the music and sonics. I sprung for the recent Speakers Corner Re-master and will put it on next.

Just to report back on the differences I hear... the SC remaster has better defined more delineated sonics. The soundstage may be slightly narrower. It may be just a matter of taste whether either version sounds better to you in your system. I would say that it’s not a remaster you should (run out and buy now), but it has it’s merits. For me. I prefer the SC remaster. I now have two very good sounding copies and with the 25% off the SC version, I’m not complaining.

Up next John Lennon "Imagine" MFSL/lp

Collective Soul  "Live".

I've always loved their sound...waited forever for some vinyl.

Sounding good so far.

Up next...

A freshly cleaned Santana  "Havana Moon".

Tift Merritt  "Stitch of the World"

Feist  "Pleasure"

Valerie June  "Pushin' Against a Stone"

k d lang  "Shadowland"

Class of '55 "Memphis Rock & Roll Homecoming"

Camper Van Beethoven  "Key Lime Pie"

Smog  "Rain on Lens"

(The Byrds, Tom Petty, Jayhawks music is very interconnected.)

The Chris Hillman Lp is awesome!

"he ain't good lookin' but he sure can play".

Elvin Bishop "Live/ Raisin' Hell"

Kings Daughters & Sons  "If Then Not When"

Bob Dylan  "Love & Theft". First time hearing it. Sonics are very good. The music wasn't what I had expected. First time listening. Will revisit.

Up next,,,

Freshly cleaned Steve Winwood  "Nine Lives".

thanks to @ghosthouse for the reminder.

I love "Slow Train Coming". Lucinda does a killer version of "It’s a Long Way to the Top" on Little Honey! Someone gave me a very clean copy of "And Then There Were Three" that I’ve yet to clean & play. Sounds like fun!

Iris Dement and Greg Brown are married right? Is Pieta Brown, Iris’s daughter or step? I own "One and All".. a very good lp and very nice sonics.


Widowspeak "S/T"

Maddy Prior & June Tabor  "Silly Sisters"

@reubent,

I think I undersold "One and All" earlier. I just finished listening again. I'd give it a 9 for music and a solid 9.5 for sonics.

@bdp24,

Who is the John you are referring to?

@reubent,

You inspired me to put on my lp copy of "Little Honey". My pressing is extremely noisy. The sonics here aren't quite up to her normal standards either. Lost Highway has had it's share of hits & misses. I’m hoping my newest US cleaner/method will help out. I’d be interested in how quiet your pressing is?

4 Non Blondes  "Bigger, Better, Faster; More!"

Frank Black & the Catholics  "Show me Your Tears"

FWIW:

I just listened to my previously very noisy lp of "Little Honey".

After my first try with my new US cleaner, the noise level dropped noticeably, there is a sense of a space in time that was not there before. There is just some inherently noisy vinyl that can't be totally renwed.

I'd say the noisy pressing level dropped maybe 20% on this unusually particularly noisy pressing.  (This one was a hard one I'm sure to try and bring back to life.)

I have faith that other lps will bring better results.

@reubent,

I just noticed your post. Sadly, there was a time around when "Little Honey" was issued that Lost Highway & New West pressings has noise issues.

My recent experience with the (lp) re-issues of Vic Chesnutt on New West are pretty damn good!

Since you bought your copy new, you should be able to return it for a cd?

Rodriguez  "Cold Fact"

Neko Case  "Blacklisted"
