For me its the first or very early LP's of: Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South" Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer" and, Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
The Guess Who/American Woman, Jimi Hendrix/Voodoo Child on translucent red vinyl, got up this morning and played Deep Purple/Machine Head and eyeballing/Paranoid, do I really want to go there?
I have my copy of "BSOTS" in house in my pile of lps waiting for listening.
Been on a buying binge lately, got quite a few waiting.
An oldie but goodie...looking through my records and this one just stood out...
Dan Folgerberg & Tim Weisberg "Twin Sons of Different Mothers". Although this was released in 1978, my copy is obviously a re-issue with a bar-code, it sounds very good. Nice warm analog sound. Good to hear again!
Hendrix-- Both Sides of the Sky This album rocks, with a mix of hard grooves/blues and fully fleshed out songs, and Hendrix at top form. Sound quality is excellent, quite "warm" on my system, yet dynamic. On another note, three days ago I got what I thought was this Hendrix album, excitedly opened it and... it was some Judas Priest live album.
That was a major buzzkill!
Some at Amazon must have grabbed from the "JU" shelf, not "JI" All good now.
Porcupine Tree-- Lightbulb Sun. I haven't met a Porcupine Tree album I didn't like. This one starts out a bit mellow, then builds to proggy/hard goodness, albeit not the level of Fear of a Blank Planet. As with everything Steven Wilson, the production is superb, being clean, balanced, with great instrument separation and non overdone highs... Need to relisten tonight.
David Bowie/Lets Dance, my favorite Bowie album and one of my favorite Stevie Ray Vaughn albums, going to see how deep I get into the 6 album Blues Anthology on Alligator Records tonight.
@slaw - Have you seen Shovels and Rope live? Awesome stuff. I’ve been fortunate to see them a few times, in small venues, up close and personal. Some of my favorite live shows. I’ve always left feel they put everything out there and were completely spent when they walked off the stage.
You might not know it by listening to their studio albums, but there live show ROCK!
