Iron Butterfly "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"
Feeling a bit nostalgic tonight.

that album, along w/jimi hendrix smash hits and donovan's greatest hits, were the first albums i ever purchased. i still listen to the donovan album occasionally; the others not so much. the hendrix album is recorded so badly, w/the instruments recorded in either one channel or the other, i actually started laughing the last time i played it. that's one album that must be played in mono.

Brian Eno "Before And After Science" 1978 Island Records LP

The first four Eno albums are revered in my household. Even by my 17 year old!

Still need to get around to Tiger Mountain.

But I did find a 200g Classic pressing of Peter Gabriel 4 (Security) yesterday. Killer find.

And en route to a first UK pressing Joy Division "Closer."

Good vinyl luck this week.

Hell no

i hope you were laughing while you were listening, too!

i love jimi, but that album truly sounds atrocious when listening in stereo. i think the only reason why it was tolerable when i got it, is cuz my 1st real stereo included a pair of bose 901's - in the case of this album, diffuse is good!

Ronee Blakley (born August 24, 1945) is an American entertainer. Although an accomplished singer, songwriter, composer, producer and director, she is perhaps best known as an actress. Her most famous role was as the fictional country superstar Barbara Jean in Robert Altman's 1975 film Nashville, for which she won a National Board of Review Award for Best Supporting Actress and was nominated for an Academy Award. She also had a notable role in A Nightmare on Elm Street

Laura I found this white label promo over the weekend and I knew nothing about her myself.
This album has a country flavor to it and is really not my thing. I do like southern rock but
not this. You know me it was just 50 cents and I thought I'd give it a listen.........Bill

Steely Dan - Gaucho

Just picked up a 2nd copy of this on way home tonight, NM for $4, plus a few other things, but cleaned and put this on as it has the following in the deadwax - "MASTERDISK" "RL" "EDP" - supposed to be a better pressing.

Tomorrow I'll pull out my old copy of Gaucho and a/b them.

There' s a funny story behind this record:

Quote from: Bob Ludwig, 1990

I mastered the Steely Dan Gaucho record. One of the problems was that
there was too much kick drum in the original mix for Roger Nichols, Walter
Becker, Donald Fagen, Gary Katz, and my taste. We worked very hard to get
the balance exactly right. The record came out and won critical acclaim and
I think a Grammy award for best sound.
A few years later one of the boutique audiophile labels got the "rights" to
issue it (and the artist does not have approval rights to these
reissues). The mastering engineer called me up and said,
"Wait 'till you hear my version of Gaucho - I got much
more kick drum than you got on it !"

... so be careful what You are listening to ...
