45 RPM Remastered

Bonnie Delaney, whoa, what a singer. Wanted to pull an album down to post and it must be misfiled. So, I go to Amazon thinkin, no problem. Guess it's outta print. Well, pale green cover, Muscle Shoal cats, sings the hell outta one of two Aretha songs. On the Capricorn label, maybe? I damn well better find it! She's great one, isn't she.

Been spending my spare time this week trying to find the best way to play my digital rips on the main rig.
It's all rather unfamiliar territory - Up and running though with a fairly basic, Iphone based method, but will need to buy a new box of tricks in order to get the desired results.

Back to vinyl tonight though and it's been a while since this had an outing;

MAGNUM - CHASE THE DRAGON

Followed by;

ULTRAVOX - VIENNA

To fund a couple of cartridge purchases I decided to sell off quite a few CD's.
Before selling I ripped them to the PC Hard Drive and there they've languished ever since.
There's quite a few on there that you just can't get on vinyl so it's worth a little bit of effort.

Magnum - I've followed these guys from their beginnings. Probably the band I've seen most times live.
Still going and releasing albums.
Personally I prefer their earlier stuff (Kingdom of Madness thru to Vigilante) after that they had a stint with an added commercial feel, but more recently back to form.
Get them on your DSCOGS "Watch List"

Possibly not many people's cup-o-tea for a Sunday morning.
But this Judas Priest debut (original release pressing GULP 1005) from 1974 is a relatively laid back affair

Hi Jim,

I've only listened to it once. Over all I like it, especially sides 3 & 4--some of Jeff Tweedy's best work. I wish there was a little less distortion on some of the songs on sides 1 & 2. Nels Cline is a great guitarist, but he gets a little carried away at times IMO. Sky Blue Sky and Wilco (The Album) are my favorite Wilco album's followed by A. M. I have A Ghost is born and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, but don't like them as well.

I really like this album. Beautiful music and lyrics. Maybe his best since Graceland.

This is my first Fairport Convention album. I enjoyed listening to it, but not enough to buy any more of their albums.

I haven't heard JJ since forever. My roommate in college had an album, I think called Troubadour, that came out while we were in school, 75-77, I seem to recall enjoying it.

I need to look for some of his work.

Ennio Morricone's "The Red Tent" soundtrack on LP! Fascinating, and a great recording!
