What's Spinning

The agutierrezb 2019 record collection challenge

So I've decided to embark on my own personal challenge, which consists of listening every record in my collection before the end of the year. My record collection is not that big -only ~250-, but I still feel like there are a bunch of records I don't give enough attention to, while still adding more titles to my shelves.

For this reason I've set a couple of rules in order to play every record at least once before December 31st: I'll play at least one record a day, going from front to back in the way I have them sorted in my shelf. I can play a different record (i.e. Not the next one in alphabetical order) if I feel like listening to something else in any given moment, but at least one of the records I spin in the day has to be the LP in turn.

I didn't take pictures for the first two days, but I'll try to document the process from here on, so I'll be posting daily on this thread. Wish me luck!
#187: Muddy Waters - Elevate me mama

#188: Muddy Waters - Fathers and Sons

I don’t know anything about the remaster but I have used this record ( ‘85 Pitman pressing) to test/dial-in the highs on my system in the past. Bright and clean. Excellent larger than life soundstage. Extended highs that could break glass (in a good way) but never hash or grating. Haven't followed the band members. Wonder if she can still sing like that. Flipping it over for side two. It’s been awhile.

The original press sounds fantastic. I only bought the remaster out of opportunity (think it was like, $8 on sale?) Such a great album, glad that you're spinning it again 💙
