Last night:
Music From Big Pink
Tupelo Honey |
Music from Big Pink-don't know anything about the providence of the vinyl. Marked 1971 by the used record peddler. |
I see those going for $500 on eBay. |
slaw, I'm fairly new to Neko but really starting to enjoy Fox Confessor and Middle Cyclone. How do you feel "Hell On" compares musically with those? I've previewed it but no serious listening yet. |
Thanks, I'll likely buy Hell On.
Will look into Case,Lang, Veirs. |
Nothing. Down at my cabin. No TT! |
Huey Lewis and the News- Sports
Not my cup of tea. My wife bought it while I was buying "good" stuff at a used record store.
Have to say, SQ is quite good and most of the songs on it were hits. |
reubent, I had that album in college. Really a great album. Listened to it again recently. Some songs maybe a little dated and as one reviewer said when the album came out: Face the Face could be used in an ad for headache powders (I thinks that's the one.) I need to buy that one again. |
@reubent I have not seen that video. Will look it up.
Also, Desolation Boulevard was the second album I ever bought after BTO's Not Fragile. I think The Sweet is a somewhat overlooked band. Ever since then (junior high maybe?) I've been a bit of a glam rock fan. That's part of the reason I'm so crazy about The Struts. They don't mention Sweet as an influence but they sound like them and have covered Ballroom Blitz! |
My parents had agreed to let me go out of town to Greensboro to see Led Zep about 2 months before Bonzo died. I was 17. Of course that show never happened. Hate that I missed that opportunity. |
|
The Who-My Generation.....in mono. Don't know anything much about vinyl but this was new record but the vinyl is thick and heavy. Feels like one of those old 78s. Despite it being in mono it sounds great. |
Van Morrison- Tupelo Honey. I like every song on the album. There are a few Morrison album where I don't like any of the songs. |
Van Morrison - Tupelo Honey. Old vinyl. Sounds good but lots of clicks and pops....that probably aren't from dirt. |
Alan Parsons Project- Eye In The Sky |
Regatta de Blanc- The Police
The Who-My Generation. In mono. This is a new album. Geffen. The thing is as thick and heavy as a dinner plate. SQ is great even in mono, which is how it was originally released I'm assuming. |
In Through The Out Door - Led Zeppelin. Pretty much all the work of John Paul Jones. And his mark is all over it in a way not seen on any of the other Zep albums.
Not a bad album but again, more Jones than LZ.
I'm listening to the second copy I bought in high school. The first one got scratched and it skipped (still have it) and I loved it so much I bought a second copy. The second copy is in okay shape. Gave it a good wash tonight but a few clicks and pops remain.
The vinyl is as thin as paper. Amazing how chintzy they were in the 80s. |
@stevecham : Wings never had too many songs I cared for but "Rock Show" is one of my favorites and sounds good loud. |
Don Henley - Building the Perfect Beast.
My wife bought it in a used record store while I was browsing 'more serious stuff'. Like new. Vinyl is clean. Very few clicks and pops. SQ is good.
Good album too. |
