What's Spinning

Oliver Nelson Orchestra - Afro/American Sketches (Esquire, 1962 First UK Mono Pressing)

Crazy level of percussion on this album, absolutely killer stuff. I have mentioned it before, but I find it crazy how much these pressings go for, despite using the same stamper as their US counterparts.

@ChristoBee, here's someone you should look into as part of your Big Band explorations. This album, in particular, is a good one (as is The Blues And The Abstract Truth)

Duly noted !
 
I can scarcely believe I'm playing this but playing it I am. Gomez; Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline.

I sold a copy of this in the last once in a lifetime recession in 2009 to keep paying my mortgage. Copies aren't terribly common and there's always something else to pay for. Popped over to see a mate earlier and was presented with this very tidy (better than my last) copy he bought me because he found it in a record shop in East Anglia. I thus have the positive double whammy of my favourite Gomez album and a reminder that people are brilliant.

Thank you

It’s an Hitachi sdt 2690 r from 1975 , my dad used to own one but let it go ..I brought one via a marketplace ad for him , and then he didn’t want it! So it’s now my second turntable..all working apart from the front radio band light which should be a green colour ..so it’s of for a service next week and hopefully will come back gleaming ..the turntable sounds really solid ..proper vintage ..I will post some pics once it’s been MOT’d

Gotta say I wasn’t expecting the turn where your dad didn’t want it!! 😂 Parents are funny.

It’s really cool looking and ya, I’d love to hear more about it when it’s ready! I’ll keep an eye out for your posts!
