Whats on your turntable tonight?


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
slipknot1
Lloyd Cole - "Broken Record". 180g vinyl on some obscure German label. Cole's newest release gets him back to his earlier roots. As usual, his songwriting is superb and the LP is a great recording to boot. For Lloyd Cole fans - highly recommended.
And now for s'more grooves that aren't micro or stereo! Spinning my way through stacks of mostly 60's soul 45's, that I'm slowly winnowing towards recording to a comp CD-R (or two)...
