I don't know where my copy came from, but I also have a Tijuana Christmas album I picked up for a buck or two. I don't remember buying the brass one. Think it came in a stack my dad was given. Some of it sounded great, but there was too much crackle and average songs on the rest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Riverside Japanese releases are very good. Everybody digs Bill Evans Was more focussed on the wine in this photo Scuzz.

lenticularis Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Nothing esoteric here from me. Spun these two yesterday when testing a cheap old Sansui, bought for my daughter who had suddenly asked if I had any turntables she could buy! I bought the Sansui cheaply at a local hi-fi shop. It has a Shure M75ECS and sounded tolerable when plugged into my system. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirdDrawerDown Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Quote Brian Eno, Reflection I bought the 45rpm so that I have the option of also playing it at 33rpm (which works, indeed it works better, it's on a par with Apollo). Allegedly Eno wanted it to work that way, kind of a deliberate nod to The Heavenly Music Corporation / No Pussyfooting... Meantime started this with Side 2 with its cover of It Ain't Me, Babe, which is the best place to start as Side 1 is full of twee show tunes that hark back to Davy Jones's stage work. It's all very Oliver! and dear old Dad. Allmusic say "Davy Jones" was only released in the USA which must mean that Australia, where this pressing is from, must be the 51st state of the USA. Decided to follow this with another Davy Jones so all sorts of connections can be made in this posting. Fripp's guitar still sounds fresh almost forty years later. An excellent album. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scuzzii Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Next up. US specialty pressing (embossed). Wasn't cheap but it sounds fantastic. One of my favourite albums. This pressing was well worth it. .... who am I to blow against the wind .. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually quite enjoyed those latin jazz sounds as a kid. What was his name? Herb Alpert! I have a rack dedicated to the tiny record collection my parents had. It's funny to be digging through a charity shop bin and find 90% of your parents record collection. They must have sold a gazillion copies of the Broadway "Camelot" soundtrack, My Fair Lady etc. Perhaps 2 gazillion copies of the "South Pacific" soundtrack (which Is fantastic if you get a copy that isn't beaten up). Herb Alpert, some dude called John Gary (who sings and swings and sucks in equal measure), Ferrante and Teicher, If I had a K-Tel record selector my little collection would be almost complete. The absolute stand out is "The very best of the Everly Brothers" which I loved when I was a kid and are still one of my favourites. Those harmonies, even on the worst audio system still give me the chills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scuzzii Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 People have mentioned stuff being played by parents when they were growing up. This was on high rotation in my childhood. Finally got a noise free copy through the week. Spa treatment just now, pristine... Lovely music. Willie 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scuzzii Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Picked this up from @Ericcklau this morning (and a few other Japanese releases). Gave it a quick clean (habit, it didn't need one), this is one very good sounding Japanese release of Sgt Peppers. Have it cranked a little and foot tapping away. .... seems to be getting better all the time, So much better all the time ... 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
