What's Spinning

[Matt M]

Some afternoon spins before going out for some country/rockabilly tonight with the Eskimo Brothers. Sad to be missing Nicole Atkins tonight, but they went to a good cause .

Neil Young - Greatest Hits (damn this sounds good)

 

[Selaws]

Thad Jones & Mel Lewis Orchestra - Live At Jazz Jantar (Poljazz, 1978 First Promo Club Special Edition - Signed)

This is such a blinder of a live session. It would have been amazing to be in the audience this night. This copy has the added bonus of being signed by both Thad Jones and Mel Lewis.

Superchunk - Majesty Shedding

 

[Joe Mac]

The Clash - The Story Of The Clash Volume One

 

[JohnnyCashFan]

 

[Russ I]

Nancy & Lee - Nancy & Lee

This one crosses lots of categories—easy listening, pop, country, and who knows what else. Sort of bizarre and interesting at the same time.

Grabbed this a while back on a deal and just got around to spinning it. Sounds far better on vinyl than digital. Might actually spin this more than anticipated!

Is Curtis Mayfield’s ‘Curtis/Live!’ the Greatest Live Album ever? | VMag

Or the greatest album of all time? That's a matter of personal taste...

Neil Young - After The Gold Rush

50th Anniversary special edition, this thing sounds fantastic. Cover is really cool and well done, but also apparently absorbs all light sent its way.

 

[Angsty]

Fresh pick today…

Miles Davis - “Walkin’”

 

[kafunis]

Listening to this at work .

I was shocked by the clarity and quality of this BGP pressing tonight: Art Blakey - “Buhania”



The jacket notes that this was “direct metal mastered from digital tapes”. After looking up
the process on Wikipedia, I could see why the sound was so good. This could easily ascend to near the top of my current favorites! Will be looking up more from BGP Records!

 

[Fleetwood-Matt]

Been a while since I spun anything, gotta quite a backlog to work through



AWOLNATION- Megalithic Symphony

Starting with an amoeba records find that I was super hyped about!

 

[Angsty]

Sister Rosetta Tharpe - “Gospel Train”

An often unacknowledged Mother of Rockabilly.

 

[JohnnyCashFan]

One leftover spin for Joe from yesterday. From Clash Singles Box set.

 

[POGunter]

Just finished LP2 of Ron Carter for Sunday’s jazz starter. Earlier, I was streaming GA-20 on this morning’s jog. Time to take the vinyl for a spin. Looking and sounding good so far.

Count Basie - The Atomic Mr. Basie (Columbia, 1958 First UK Mono Pressing)
Art Farmer Tentet - Brass Shout (United Artists Records, Japanese King White Label Sample/Test Pressing)

Im a day late as usual but yesterday, 21st August, would have been the birthdays of Art Farmer and Count Basie. I have just finished listening to Basie's booming 'Atomic Mr Basie' along with Art Farmer's 'Brass Shout'. This copy of Brass Shout is quite cool as it's a white-label Japanese King sample/test pressing. The King sleeve is super cool IMO.

Back in the 90's when I started my vinyl collecting I picked up a small stash of 45's. I got these and others at a consignment antique store booth.

All are original UK pressings....or very early repressings/reissues.
