Recent spins, what's spinning? Photos

As usual, spinning a wide range of records. The REM LP is a beautiful NM/NM gem found at recent yard sale for $0.50. The older gentleman holding the Esquire Jazz reissue LP is my father-in-law Bill Barrett. Bill turns 93 tomorrow and he's visiting us here in Wyoming for a couple weeks. He loves that music from the 1940's, and I've got a lot of it so we're spending time in the studio listening to quite a bit.

I have five dozen sixteen inch radio transcription discs in my collection, dating from the mid-late 50's. Many of them are live recordings of Country Western artists of that era. Recordings that were never released commercially and there are some real gems from artists such as Jim Reeves, Ferlin Husky & Simon Crum!, Goldie Hill, Ray Price, The Carlisles, Faron Young, Webb Pierce, Mimi Roman, Marty Robbins and more.

The Kiddie records are a lot of fun and sound suprprising good with playback on my SP-15, Stanton 500, and Magneplanar speakers. A far cry from the little kiddie record player and scratched-up hand-me-down records I started with about 55 years ago.

Also listened to a stack of about sixty 45's the other night with Bill in my studio. Mostly stuff from the 60's: Pop, Soul, R&B, and British Invasion. Loving the music!
