JohnJ Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Taking the rest of the day off! Haven't experienced the one that's up right now before, like Steve H's LP I can recognize some familiar stanzas. The other release will last for a while this evening! YESterdays & YESsongs 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Couldn't wait and decided to do the three live records later. Right now there is a noticeable "sound stage" improvement over the Audio Fidelity SACD - (I only have redbook). I got the cd when failing to find a good copy of this outstanding release on vinyl a while back. My test track is always the same: "And You And I" it has slight audible noise but it doesn't mask the beautiful guitar or the sound of the picking of the strings. Closer to audio nirvana when I bumped up the sub coverage from 40 to 42 hz! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full Range Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 I’m going for early Australian Prog tonight I think it’s a brilliant record for a debut release Artist - Madder Lake Title - Still Point One of the first signings for the new record label Mushroom Records Album ID https://www.discogs.com/Madder-Lake-Stillpoint/release/2369925 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 You know I usually sit tight for a little bit and listen to what you post even if the link isn't included Paul. Madder Lake does sound like the peace & love early 70s... I'd burn one right now if I still did that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Well @Full Range got to admit that I'm blessed to still be alive after my second and third decade on this planet!! Fresh out of the bath tonight?

JohnJ Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Recently someone had a recording played by a young musician that played every instrument on the entire release. I had mentioned this guy, the only one I knew of that had done that well. One of the heavy (grams wise) LPs from back then. My copy of "Machine Head" from that era is about the same weight. Yea it the Exorcist movie theme song... but it's more... Mike Oldfield Tubular Bells: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Most any night Tubular Bells would be the encore, and Paul listening to side one I could almost remember the taste of what we talked about earlier Found one that could top that far out LP: From 1968 "A Saucerful of Secrets" Pink Floyd: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1290 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Hey, hey, heyyyyy wb @Tarheel! Couple good one's right there! I'm startin to get the itch. Have been listening to a pair of Paradigm's a buddy wants to buy. He's stopped a few times lately and I haven't gone back to my LS but that's about to change. Been just too hot to sit here and listen. No rain for more than a week around here. Front came thru yesterday and rained everywhere but here. Temps mid 80's today then heading right back up into the mid 90's. Better get it while I can so I'm gonna have a Bobby Flay look like a mama's boy and have a throwdown later! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Morning Dave. Don't usually spin vinyl this early but since I've started streaming lately I thought I better give the Rega/Hana a little work out. Hot and humid and will be all week😑 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Into the Rs and Ss got a good old REO the one with Golden Country plus an early Bonnie Raitt! Did not do these in order except in the order that I dug the bands. Onto side two of Carlos's first right now with enough more to jam for a long time. Three of these records were released in `73! I wish I could have showed all of those "experts" how good these 600 or so about fifty year old records are now. They have all been in the original paper or thin cardboard for Lord Knows how long. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Halfway through listening to Abraxas for the first time in a long time. & I'm here to sing the praise of the micro-line stylus again... that's what AT calls `em. There are a couple mars across the old record that appear to be scratches, but they aren't audible thanks to much more contact with that groove that we all love!! My Tull selection got bigger too! With a couple of LPs with heavy covers: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Martin Barre once said of recording Tull songs, that if the guitar solo didn't come along quick enough, it became a flute solo. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
