Stan Getz - Captain Marvel
(1974, Columbia)



w/ Airto, Chick Corea, Stanley Carke, Tony Williams. Recorded in '72. 5 Corea tunes. Latin and electric, Getz plays with cool fire w/ backing from the all star rhythm section.

nice day...9 miles on the TREK ....I'm not real adventurous when it comes to new music and I like the Eagles....when I replaced the HT receiver, made sure that the new unit would have a phono stage and was lucky to find a Denon AVR-2105 with same...so I can play vinyl on a 3rd home system..
.yes...3 tt's in the livingroom, 1 in the HT, 1 on the PC and XX in storage..

Johnny Winter - The Johnny Winter Story
(1969, GRT)



another grab from a $1 box at the record show last weekend. A compile of early tracks from the early to mid 60s, early picture on the front cover with the Roy Orbison look. I think this is essentially the same as the Early Winter compilation. Cool gatefold cover includes a 12 page 3x5 booklet of pictures.

Brian Eno, David Byrne - My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts
(1981, Sire) STERLING GC in the deadwax - mastered by Greg Calbi



Ran across this one out of place w/ my jazz records, and decided some Eno would be a good way to start the weekend.

Cannonball Adderley - Somethin' Else
(1958, Blue Note) 1973 pressing - BN LA189-F



Oh man is this a nice sounding recording with "the coolness of Miles and bebop funk of Cannonball" as noted in the liner. Now add Art Blakey on the drums, Sam Jones bass, Hank Jones, Piano. wow, nice.

Jethro Tull - Songs From The Wood
(1977, Chrysalis)



I haven't heard this one in too long. This one is a favorite with the folk material and excellent dynamic production, a great LP for demo' ing systems back in the day.

Steeleye Span - Rocket Cottage
(1976, Chrysalis)



I saw Steeleye Span in a show in the mid 70's at the University of Washington, it was a great show, I'm wondering if they played anything found here. British folk-rock with an emphasis on the rock here. great stuff.

Just listened to neil young (live-acoustic) in the hot tub in Maine for about twenty minutes on JBL S36IIAW(sp), speakers attached under the eaves. This sounded pretty damn good. Now w/ the 1400 Array's.

Stress relief.!

I will still work tomorrow.

Yep - we did a bit of yardwork, came in and soaked in the tub for a bit while playing "Waiting for Columbus" through the L200s downstairs.
Been a while since I played it, and I used to see them play at Lisner Auditorium downtown (maybe even that show!) in the 70s ...
forgot what a kickin' album it was ...
Great fun ...

[BMWCCA]

Great album and, of course, great group. But that album is far from "live" if you read the liner notes. Still a great listen but Lowell was quite the pain to work with by then and obsessive about remixing and adding overdubs until the re-worked "live" product sounded the way he wanted. Amazing that it sounds so good after all that!

[Don Mascali]

That is one of my "If I was Marooned on a Desert Island" albums.

LG was one of the best slide players around. Shame he OD'd. It happened at the Twin Bridges Marriott after a show...

I play the Fat Man medley at my DJ gigs. People can't sit still.

The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
(1966, Capitol) Mono pressing



Thrift pickup this afternoon, looks and plays like it's never been played before. comparing w/ another mono Pet Sounds which has the "File Under: The Beach Boys T 2458" on the cover - top right edge. Today's cover is blank in that location. Record labels are the same, the deadwax matrix on today's ends in "G30", the other one ends in "F37". ...just a different cover, I guess?

[SpeakerLabFan]

Aretha Franklin - This Girl's In Love With You
(1970, Atlantic)



The wonderful singing and keyboard playing from The Queen of Soul. Duane Allman on guitar. I didn't know this: "Her version of The Beatles' "Let It Be" was the first recording of the song to be commercially issued (The Beatles did not release "Let It Be" as a single until March 1970). Franklin had been sent a demo of the song as a guide." Also includes covers of Son Of A Preacher Man, Dark End Of The Street, Eleanor Rigby, and the Bacharach title song.

[Krunchy]

This is actually a really good album, some great songs on it, classic!

Better than a lot of the New Stuff coming out these days
Check out Grover on that Les Paul playing it Hendrix style.

Johnny Winter - Self Titled
(1969, Columbia) 2-eye "360 Sound" label



Winter's debut record for Columbia, BLUES rock. blistering and pure.
A really nice production, this record jumps out of my speakers from track 1: "I'm Yours And I'm Hers". This is the record to find out what the fuss was about.
