What was the last record you bought.

[Richard Earl]

Earlier this week a buddie of mine sold me a Pioneer reciever from 1974-75 for $20.00  I hooked my turntable and dvd -vcr combo to it with my late 70's American Acoustic Lab tower speakers. The modern Pioneer reciever that I have been using does not hold a candle to this old reciever man. The tone and warmth is incredible. It is a silver faced unit which still looks cool. The blue lights on the am/fm showcase with the stereo light and the blue lighted meter looks so amazing with the bedroom lights off. Those records of mine sound so good. I am a happy man.

I picked up some cool records today.
Chet Atkins - Caribbean Guitar
Chet Atkins - Mister Guitar
Chet Atkins - Its A Guitar World
Chet Atkins - The Other Chet Atkins
(He is one of the greatest guitar players thet I have heard.)
The Byrds - The Notorious Byrd Brothers
Ac/Dc - Back In Black (A mint copy of true Rock n Roll)
Commander Cody And His Lost Planet Airmen - Lost In The Ozone (Hot Rod Lincoln still holds up as one jamming song)
The Brides Of Funkenstein - Funk Or Walk
Ten Years After - 1st Album (I love Alvin Lee's guitar playing)
Traveling Wilburys - Volume One ( My favorite supergroup)
Grand Funk - Live Album ( This is back when they were a three piece band. Mark Farner vocals just plain rocked.)

Commander Cody rules my friend.  As does Back In Black of which I have two copies.

Hey Richard, thanks for the PM, just out of interest my last piece of vinyl was this from a couple of months back.



A sweet sweet piece from the great Sinatra.

Mary Mary, I have not heard that one. Is it one of those cool nighttime romantic albums ?

I had the day off today and had several hours to listen to lp's. One of the records that I listened to is one that I bought several years ago and not listened to it until today. It is a self titled lp from Tammy Grimes. She has the most interesting voice.  Some of the others that I listened to today were Robin Trower- Bridge Of Sighs, Cirith Ungol - King Of The Dead, Tom Petty & The  Heartbreakers - self titled from 1976 and Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska which will be talked about next week on the Bruce Springsteen appreciation thread.

The Marshall Tucker Band - Carolina Dreams
Stelly Dan - Aja
Heart - Dreamboat Annie ( In the factory seal)

[Richard Earl]

I had the day off which gave some time to listen to lp's. One that I listened to was Steely Dan - Aja. I was familiar with four of the seven songs on the record. That is one amazing piece with a mixture of rock and jazz songwriting. Steely Dan has to be considered amongst the best of rock bands.

[Richard Earl]

The Doobie Brothers - The Captain and Me (China Grove & Long Train Runnin' are two of my favorites from them)
Kiss - Music From The Elder
Kiss - Hotter Then Hell (My favorite Kiss lp)
Dio - The Last In Line
Steve Perry - Street Talk ( Oh Sherry is still a great song)
Fastway - self titled
The Beatles - Love Songs ( I finally found a super clean copy of this double lp)

[Richard Earl]

RUSH - Hold Your Fire
RUSH - Presto
RUSH - A Show Of Hands
The Outfield - Play Deep
The Marshall Tucker Band - A New Life
REM - Reckoning
The Mission U.K. - Gods Own Medicine
Heart - Little Queen

A couple of recent purchases...

I  love Blue Train Gant. I bet is sounds great on vinyl man. I have not heard that Art Blackey record.

[Richard Earl]

John Prine - 1st album (One of my favorite songwriters)
Ron Carter - Parade 9(The most amazing bass player that I have heard. Checkout his resume.)
Thelonious Monk - Straight No Chaser
Earl Klugh - Solo Guitar
Waylon Jennings - Honkeytonk Heroes( This is a must for country music lovers. Billy Joe Shaver wrote most of the songs and it is in my top ten country albums of all time)
Charlie Mingus - Blues & Roots( I cannot wait to hear this album)
Triumph - Never Surrender
Joe Satriani - Surfing With The Alien
Tower Of Power - self titled
Marshall Tucker Band - Where We All Belong
Rush - 1st album( This was before Neil Peart joined the band. This record rocks hard man. You can hear Geddy Lee's Led Zeppelin influence big time in his vocals.)

[Gant]

Both those albums sound awesome on vinyl Richard...

You can't beat vinyl for jazz..

Jazz does sound great on vinyl Gant. You have good taste man.
I picked up a super clean copy of Bob James- Touchdown.  I listened to it over the weekend and to hear the song Angela(Theme song from Taxi) in its entirety was very cool. That song is one long jam session.

[Gant]

Thanks Richard.... You've got some great stuff there too.. That Mingus album sounds cool.. I'll have to try and track that one down for meself.
