What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[jeffcrom]

Inspired in part by MG's scientific inquiries:

Rock and Rollin' with Fats Domino (Imperial). A nice deep groove original pressing of Fats' first US album, found about 15 years ago for a couple of bucks.

Rolling Stones: Exile on Main Street (Rolling Stones/Atlantic)

One of the two Stones albums I've kept in my collection

I've liked the Stones for years but have been cautious about getting too many and weaker sets ( ie the earlier and later material ). I'd also avoided "Exile". I caved in last year and can't believe just how good it is. It's right up there with "Aftermath" and "Let it bleed".

What other Stones' title did you keep?

Between the Buttons. Probably not one of the top Stones records on anyone else's list.

Mine! The UK version, in particular.

Dave McKenna 'The Key Man' (Concord/Bellaphon)

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Is that an EP? It only looks about 7" square.

Kenton Presents Boots Mussulli (Capitol)

Edited to add that the cover photo drives me crazy. I spent 29 years teaching students not to hold saxophones by their necks.

Start a new thread - album sleeves showing people holding musical instruments wrong

Today's nice find - Howard McGhee 'Maggie's Back In Town' (Vogue/Contemporary DG stereo). Near mint !

Actually, Maggies just left town.

Billy Bauer: Anthology (Interplay)

[kh1958]

Last Night, The Wes Montgomery Trio (Riverside), and Gems of Jazz No. 3 (Joe Venuti Blue Six and Fletcher Henderson with Coleman Hawkins) (Decca ten inch).

[jeffcrom]

John Graas - Jazz Lab 1 (Decca). Unfortunately, a really terrible... I was going to say "pressing," but it's not vinyl - it's one of those Decca injection-molded plastic records. What would you call that - a "squeezing?"

[jazztrain]

How about an "extrusion?"

They're almost always noisy and hissy even if they look clean.

I like the vaguely insulting sound of "squeezing" better myself. Now spinning another plastic squeezing, which I just came across a couple of days ago. It's pretty beat, but with a mono cartridge sounds better than it has any right to:

Tony Aless - Long Island Suite (Roost). I was totally unaware of this 1955 album, but it's good. Nick Travis, Dave Schildraut, Billy Bauer are on hand, as are trombonists "Moe and Joe" - aka Jay and Kai. It has had a Japanese EMI CD issue, but otherwise has resisted digitization.

Nothing like a styrene pressing to ruin a mood.

[Chuck Nessa]

Haven't listened to this in 20-30 years and forgot its qualities.

Lots of Nance.

[clifford_thornton]

Alice Coltrane - A Monastic Trio - (Impulse stereo og)

[clifford_thornton]

Larry Coryell - Spaces - (Vanguard Apostolic)

[brownie]

Duke Ellington 'A Drum Is a Woman' (CBS France)

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Jr Walker & the All Stars - Shotgun - Soul (Music for Pleasure UK cheapo - mainly instrumental)

Nice one, John. Thanks for the reminder to take it off the shelf and listen. It's been too long.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Leo Parker - Rollin' with Leo - BN (DMM Pathe Marconi, France)

Reminded of this by the BN Trumpeters () thread.

Looks Fishy huh? It's a CD cover.

Another spin of this excellent and intriguing album. Given how it looked when I bought it, I'm still amazed at how relatively good it sounds.

The UK version is just fine . During what period did Decca use this method of production.?

I never understood why folks melted their discs just to take a shot with their valves.
