Simon and Garfunkle, "The Concert in Central Park". I've listened to just side 1 of this 2 lp disc. That was all that was needed to recommend it. Think that their voices couldn't sound like their voices on their studio albums? Think again! Beautiful harmonies. On another subject, I'de like to point out that Tusk has some digital involved.

Nat King Cole - Where Did Everyone Go?

Sonny Rollins - East Broadway Run Down

Speakers Corner 180g Reissue

John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman

Impulse 180g reissue. Arguably one the of the most beautifully romantic albums
ever recorded. Coltrane's measured tenor sax and Hartman's smooth baritone
voice were a match made in heaven.

Jackie McLean - Swing Swang Swingin'

Red Garland - Red in Bluesville

"Pat Metheny Group" Lyle Mays Mark Egan Dan Gottlieb. Produced in 1978(BTW, I find it very useful to know the production date of the lp-to know if digital is involved. I have found that generally 1983+ is the year that I usually won't buy lp's. I have found that I don't listen to lp's that have digital involved. It's a naturally occurring event for me. It would also be useful to know the source of the remastered new vinyl.) It's really weird, but when I was listening to this, I thought that it sounded a bit disjointed. Then, all day long, the songs played in my head. This lp is a classic.

Laura and Jerome, if you get the Sundance channel look for Elvis Costello's Spectacle show where he recently, on Comcast in Mpls anyway, interviewed Bono and Edge and they also played some music.

Sean

Thanks for the heads up Sean. Comcast in Spokane had it available "On Demand" and I was able to watch it. I would have liked to have been in that club in northern England when they met for the first time in the late 1970's.

Merry Christmas,

Laura

well at my house last night we did quite a lengthy study of Miles Davis' Bitches Brew. As well as a few others, but Miles' stuff is always the most important

Otis Redding - Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Sundazed reissue. Very nice.

I've been on the look out for a nice copy of this LP for a long time because mine was so worn. Finally found a VG+ copy in the $5 dollar bin.

Long before he became the popular ballad singer with the Silver Bullet Band, Bob Seger was a guy from Detroit who could really rock and I think Mongrel is his best effort.
I always seem to like the early work of many artists, before they become really popular. Wonder why that is

Bob Seger System, Mongrel

Caravan
'Blind Dog At St.Dunstans'

Canterbury Scene rock band Caravan released 'Blind Dog at St. Dunstans' in 1976, their 7th studio album.

This album has a lighter feel than Caravan's previous releases, shifting toward shorter 'poppier' songs. This is in part because Pye Hastings became the major force on the album, writing and singing on 8 out of 9 songs and also because Jan Schelhaas replaced Dave Sinclair on keyboards, moving away from lengthy organ-based instrumentals toward piano and synthesizer

Jack DeJohnette's Special Edition - Tin Can Alley

This is a hot album, not typical ECM music at all. Chico Freeman and John Purcell on saxes are at the top of their games. Check out the samples here:

Terrific "live in the studio sound", plus ECM used really quiet vinyl.

Tom Waits - Nighthawks at the Diner

The Byrds, "Preflyte". This lp wasn't supposed to be an lp(according to the liner notes). It's just outtakes. I would say only get this if you are a completist, or a super fan of early Beatle music(the sound of). I don't think that I would play this more than twice a year. It's not a bad album, just not a discovery. This album has a version of "Mr. Tamborine Man", but not one that I would recommend. "You Showed Me" is a song of interest.
