Jerry Lee Lewis, Live At The Hamburg Star Club.
Shades of the Beatles?
There are two theories to arguing with women, but...neither has worked
Follow Ups:
I've decided that one of my upcoming two hour "Free Form" radio shows will feature Christian music. I've got tons in my collection, ranging from old Gospel and Sacred Bluegrass 78s to wild Christian Metal and Punk LPs from the '80s. Excellent music that often saw little distribution or radio airplay.
Spinning a couple of favorite LPs and transferring to WAV files as I go:
Oden Fong - Come For The Children, Asaph Records MM0051A
The 77's - S/T, Island 90565-1
I hope you include Bash-n-the Code, the ultimate 80's Christian party band, that just happened to have a kick-butt guitar player (Mark Townsend). (insert "rawk" emoticon here)

I wish... I don't have any of their records, never heard of them.
I'm taking a break from Xian LPs. I've got a customer's LP on the turntable right now, transferring it to WAV & CD-R:
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Four Way Street, Atlantic SD-2-902
This is a NM copy and I'm giving it a listen as it plays. Very nice. I saw CS&N live back in '94, one of the better concerts I've attended over the years.
Going thru a little Verdi...
Starting today's tunes with some Xian Rock:
Randy Stonehill - Welcome To Paradise, Solid Rock Records SRA-2002
Great LP!
BTW, was spinning Tesla last night, "Mechanical Resonance"

One of my very favorites, I'm currently without a turntable so I am playing a 24/96 AIFF music file from the LP.
I usually don't post in these "What's Spinning" posts as I am not really spinning, I guess my LPs would be considered "pre-spun". However I read your comment on Jerry Lee Lewis' Live At The Hamburg Star Club being similar to the one the Beatles done there. I was listening to the Beatles while reading your post, so I thought I would contribute.
Before The Beatles: White album I played Grateful Dead's American Beauty , also on MFSL. Most of my 24/96 computer music files are from LPs.
I never cared for the care and maintenance of LPs and styli, however I love the realistic, comfortable sound of LPs and have most of my favorite audiophile LPs on my computer. I think they sound the best saved at 24/96, however I have some saved at 24/48 for playing on my iPod.
"Happy Listening,
Teresa."
I love the White Album, it is the album that got me into the Beatles. Before that, I saw them on the Ed Sullivan show, and being very young, wrote them off as a 'boy band'.
The Jerry Lee Lewis album I'm talking about is a German re-issue and 180 grams. It sounds wonderful, (much better than the Beatles done at the Star Club in the early 60's, which I also have.)
I am not a huge fan of Jerry Lee Lewis, but the album, overall, is really good. He warms up quickly, and then becomes the trademark Jerry Lee Lewis we have all heard of. I am glad I bought it. As far as I know, it is only on vinyl, but I haven't looked for CD as I almost listen to vinyl exclusively now.

There are two theories to arguing with women, but...neither has worked
Jerry Lee Lewis was before my time, but I remember songs such as "Great balls of fire".
"Happy Listening,
Teresa."
He's before my time also. But that doesn't mean I can't listen! :)

Teresa, I'd rather go without my left arm and my right leg, before I'd go without my turntable!
Hey, I was a young Dad once, I had three kids, and I remember giving them baths nightly. Sometimes they'd complain, whine a bit, give me an excuse why it should be okay to skip a bath on any given night...
Care of LPs is similar, except it comes without all the whining at times, groaning when the kids needed to put down their toys, so they could take a bath, or come in from outside to eat dinner. LPs never complain, like children they are always there, and I love them unconditionally, as I did my daughter and two sons, now grown, successful and with families of their own now.
Look at great LPs as your second "family" and that makes them all the better!
Peace, Ed

Perhaps, Wendell, I was a bit hasty in that post.
Instead, instead of my left arm, I'd go without my left hand. Instead of saying goodbye to my right leg, let's just say I'd go without my right toes...
Yeah, that's better. NEVER be without my turntable, that's a given!!

I am not a classical music fan but I do appreciate classical works from time to time. I pulled out my copy of Sir Adrian Boult conducting the London Philharmonic, performing Holst - The Planets. I have serial number 324 out of 5000 of the MoFi UHQR of this recording and it is breath taking in places.
My old Denon DP-62L's main bearing is in need of replacement and I will be fortunate enough to be one of the early adopters of Applied Fidelity's new jeweled bearing for my table. I have had a few conversations with Tubsey about this new bearing and I can hardly wait to get this installed.
In spite of my ailing bearing, this pressing is spectacular. I wish I could think of another term but serial number 324 of this MoFi UHQR has only been played about 12 times in its entire life and it is what we hope every pressing could be.
Damm I'm happy with my rig today.
Sorry for going on,

If I can find any of the others at a decent price I might add them to my collection. Unfortunately UHQRs are pretty expensive these days.
But worth it,

...what I've already considered: install his new bearing in one of my classic Japanese direct drive tables. It's hard to believe your bearing needs to be replaced, but if you wore it out, that's actually awesome.
Please do give a full report on the new bearing. I look forward to your experiences, and hope they are positive.
You must really love your Denon. I sold my DP-59L, and for good money. Sometimes I wish I hadn't.
"Hope is a good thing. Maybe, the best of things. And no good thing ever dies."
That I've spent considerable money on it to keep it going and improve its weaknesses. Not counting the current worn out bearing its a much better table than the one I bought back in the early 1980s.
The stock Denon tonearm is gone and in its place is a tweaked out OEM RB-300 (Mitchell Technoweight, Incognito wiring) mounted on an acrylic armboard via a Riggle VTAF. The plinth related resonances have been tamed and the acoustic nasties via the dustcover are also history.
The mat was replaced with a Herbies Way Excellent II earlier this year. The whole thing is sitting on a Gingko Cloud II platform.
My thinking was that the drive system was something that was going to cost me a lot to replicate via a belt or idler drive, if I could replicate it at all. The stuff those type tables did better was fixable so I set off to address each issue.
I have considered creating my own plinth out of baltic birch plywood so I can mount a second tonearm. Maybe that's out there sometime after the bearing job.

A most welcome Friday night vinyl session as the sun sank slowly in the western horizon of northern California! When the shadows were long, the sun touching the horizon as a large orange / red "ball", the stereo was on, turntable ready, speakers willing, first LP up...;*WARREN KIME and his Brass Impact Orchestra - "Explosive Brass Impact VOL. II" COMMAND RECORDS, Inc, #RS 919 SD =STEREO=
(WOW! A great album, that was the follow-up to Kime and his orchestra's debut album for Command (RS 910 SD STEREO). The sonics and clarity here are first rate, I will look for his Vol. 1 album, based on this album. Highly entertaining, throughout, with a cool 60s era 'vibe').

(McGuffey Lane was a popular country rock band from central OHIO, their music is excellent and rivals anything from The Eagles, POCO, ect. Of course they never made the national music scene impact as those two excellent bands, but their music, lyrics ect is very good. A ver good album, remember in 1980 disco was waning a bit, and country rock was getting a new lease of interest across America. Look for this album as well as...);*McGuffey Lane - "Let The Hard Times Roll" c. 1982 ATCO Records, Inc.

ABC Records, Inc. #ABCD-902 ^STEREO^
(I bought this album new, in '75, have been playing and enjoying it ever since. Simply a classic from Crosby and Nash, they wrote and make great music as when not with Stephen Stills or Neil Young.)As you can see, my LP selection was a bit all over the map, but each album was some excellent sounding and relaxing music! Now that's the way to put a cap on a busy work week -- GREAT SPINNIN' VINYL!
I enjoyed reading what my fellow vinyl colleagues were spinning tonight, also! More slated "on deck" for Saturday!

I have a couple of David Crosby & Graham Nash albums that I really enjoy. Now I'll be looking to add "Wind On The Water".
1975, you'll love this album too. A classic throughout, no "filler" anywhere. Readily available at any good used LP store, on occasion at some thrift stores, but it's a real "hit and miss". I would be interested in hearing your opinion of "Wind On The Water" when you snag a copy.
Also, later copies were released by MCA Records when they (MCA) bought out ABC Records. Avoid the MCA label, look for the original bright yellow ABC label. Overall sound quality is better on the original ABC label for this, and even other albums originally released by ABC Dunhill / ABC Records.

If you like David Crosby and Graham Nash, I highly, greatly recommend picking up a copy of their "Another Stoney Evening" album!
This was a concert originally recorded in October 1971, prior to the release of their first album together; (c.1972 Atlantic Records SD 7220)
Stephen Barncard, the excellent producer and studio engineer from David Crosby's 1971 solo masterpiece "If I Could Only Remember My Name" went and remastered this concert, making this album as close to a "time machine" recording as you'll ever find! It's as close to what it was like in the autumn of 1971, with a young David Crosby and Graham Nash as you'll find.
I've listened to this album several times now, and I still look forward to playing it! A 2 LP set, you must get a copy, if you don't already have it!
Peace, Ed

German pressing

Hey ASHRA, how does that compare with the Reprise/WB pressing? I consider that to be pretty good.
I've never found any Japanese, German, etc. pressings for any of the Beefheart albums.
"For a nominal service fee,
you can reach nirvana tonight."
that came in the clear plastic LP cover is long in the tooth with a bit of groove noise sounds okay and balanced. The German pressing pushes the Captains' vocals forward. It's cleaner sounding so it's my go-to copy.

"Fence Walk" is stone-cold, down-and-dirty, old-school funk at it's best. Apologies for all the hyphens.

An essential LP for funk lovers IMHO!
