At this moment I have a Columbia Legacy pressing of Miles Davis' Bitches Brew;
This ain't Gilligan's Island, so I'm letting the SP10 mk2 do the work today...
Whatcha spinning over there....and what are you using to spin with...?

Just got 18 Chet Baker CD's used for a mere 50 euro! Having a ball playing them on my 1988 Sony X7-ESD CDP. My local repairman thankfully was able to wake it up from the dead. It wouldn't start up anymore after i had to switch off the power.
Chet mainly as a trumpet player, in his heighdays, the 1950's. Some of these numbers are fast and complex. No less hard to play than the average bebop number. Those West Coast cats could really play.

Recently my local jazz FM station featured Joni Mitchell's "Mingus". So after hearing a coupler of numbers I had to pull out the album Friday and listen straight through.
I also played the double album of Mulligan and Baker reunion at Carnegie Hall on CTI.
All good stuff.

I'm working my way through a $1 crate dig from earlier this year. There were a handful of clean Joni Mitchell records in the bunch.
Audio gear has been in rotation lately. The tube amp had not been used since last Winter. Usually the Rega table is in the main rig.
The recent Last Dance double album. Fun to be buying a new EMC album on vinyl after all these years. Great pressing, from Germany, via Amazon. This album will be on the turntable quite a bit between now and the end of the year. And beyond. Great version of 'Round Midnight. Etc.
RIP Charlie.
I took some records in for trade today and saw this box set. I hemmed and hawed because I have these in original pressings but they are in less than pristine condition but when the trade in amount equaled the price of the box I couldn't resist. I have listened to Clear Spot and one side of the out takes and couldn't be happier. Now I know how Beatles fans feel.
Sorry for the glare.

Doesn't come any better than LMDO, in my opinion. Just gets more and more intense as it goes on, everybody in the Magic Band is a superstar on that one.
I love that Clear Spot is produced by Ted Templeman, formerly of Harper's Bizarre, and later producer of Van Halen's debut. "Big Eyed Beans from Venus" rocks harder than anything VH ever did.

The Beethoven was a customer's record, being transferred to WAV & CD-R. Very nice! Juicy Lucy is spinning right now. Turntable is a Technics SP-15.
How do you have your collection organized?

That big wall of records on the left are Rock, Folk, Pop, Blues, Soul, and Country Western LPs all together, filed alphabetically. I have separate categories for: Jazz, Classical, Christian, Christmas, Comedy, Sound Tracks, Hawaiian, World, Misc/Spoken Word, Childrens, and Various Artist compilations. Similar filing for 45s and 78s. My collection is large enough that careful filing is essential in order to find anything.
40 or 50 records and maybe a few 8 tracks?Seriously, that is not a collection, that is a public library, you are nearing the limits of the Dewy decimal system. I have probably not a 10th of stuff here , and have no real system...starting to need one, it becomes impossible to remember where all the firebirds are under Stravinsky...left or right :)...don't even try to figure out conductor and orchestra.

Opus 33 1/3
Iron Maiden - Seven Son and Somewhere in Time. Judas Priest, Turbo Lover, Defenders of the Faith, Live! and Screaming for Revenge. These puppies have spent their time on my shelves, happily. The classics, of course remain.

It is available on vinyl BTW. I'm just not at home right now.

What Player is that in your pic?
It's an Astell&Kern AK-120. It's my main digital source that also happens to be a portable.
It's the dog's b*llocks.
