Mark Knopfler - Get LuckyVery enjoyable album. Many thanks to Laura for posting about it in the "Catch of the Day" thread.
Kenny Loggins and Jim Messina - Loggins & MessinaWho needs fancy 180g vinyl when you have a nice minty original 1972Columbia pressing handy.
Throwing Muses - The Real RamonaOne of my favorite rock albums. Tough as nails to find on vinyl but verymuch worth the effort.

I found what appears to be an early pressing of Gaucho based on the stamper codes and the "RL" initials at a used record store Saturday and bought it even though I have another copy. Wow! This one is a gem, details galore, great dynamics, tremendous range, and quiet surfaces. An amazing find, especially at $5. Better Records would sell it for 50 times what I paid.This is one of Duke Ellington's last great works, recorded in 1970 on the Atlantic label. Worth checking out if you like any of Ellington's other work. Copies are around if you look hard.I had a standard American pressing and a fancy Japanese pressing for a little homegrown shootout. The American LP had more extension on both ends of the frequency range spectrum but the Japanese pressing had slightly quieter surfaces -- probably a function of the original owners since I bought both used. I'm keeping the American. I hadn't listened to this one in a few years and had forgotten how loose, inventive, funky, and flexible Springsteen was in those days. SOOOO much better than the stuff he's selling now. He even played lead guitar and was pretty good. He obviously had spent some time listening to the Band and Van Morrison's St. Dominic's Preview.

Ken,p.s. The difference in the codes is not a typo. Side b does not have a hyphen between the MD and the 1 like Side a has.
