What's On Your Turntable?

What's on my turntable? A dustcover. Really got to get a cartridge one of these days.

 

I've been doing the same thing!!! I've made two 12" single comps on CD-R, and have plans to do a couple more. Here's the track listing for the first two:

VOLUME TWO

Glide-Pleasure
Peanut Butter-Twennynine Featuring Lenny White
Back Together Again-Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway
Backstrokin'-Fatback
Sexual Healing-Marvin Gaye
Little Red Covette-Prince
Let's Work-Prince
Sugar Free-Juicy
Can You Treat Me Like She Does-Real To Reel
Save The Overtime(For Me)-Gladys Knight & The Pips

 

Could be worse. Some smarta** on another forum once replied to this question with 'my CD player'.

 

Tricky's- 12 inch single "6 Minutes"

 

Been returning to Third by Soft Machine, a truly haunting album and one of only a very few jazz/rock hybrids I care for. Also Radio City by Big Star on which my needle keeps returning to "September Gurls" ah well never mind. It's a promo copy with lots of dj inserts(for all the good it did the band at the time since their label had virtually no distribution). Long live Robert Wyatt and Alex Chilton!

 

You have this on a 12"... I am jealous. I have been looking for the 12" forever along with the 12" versions of the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack stuff.

 

a dustcover

 

I did actually find this on eBay a few months ago. Though it is the super rare extended version it's not the US promo pressing I got. Turns out that RSO released this in the UK on blue colored vinyl in a clear sleeve. Has "(Our Love)Don't Throw It All Away" on the flip side. The vinyl is a bit noisy but the pressing is nice and loud so it masks the noise. I've been wanting that Saturday Night Fever promo EP for a long time too. But they've become so expensive. People are paying ridiculous sums of money for it on eBay. I keep hoping I'll find one by other means. I have pretty good vinyl finding karma.

 

Wow, Jeff H.! That looks like one sweet comp. you've got there!
The last thing that I spun on my TT, was U2's Joshua Tree. I think this was over the weekend(?) It's an import pressing that I picked up over the winter. I'm with most on this post. Play cd's in the car, at home it's strictly lp's!

 

Thanks Poe Man!!! I've definitely have gotten back into the music of my DJ and pre DJ years!! Nothing like the sound of that 12" wax played on a good sound system!!

 

Ever heard the Mo-Fi LP?

I think they did a good job with that one.

 

I've been listening to the original Columbia black stereo "360" label of Mr. Tambourine Man by the Byrds.

 

Neil Young - ST

I have an original no name/no RE1 LP and an early RE1, but the best sounding LP I have is an 80's US Reprise. The US CD is also good, but there is something about that vinyl!

 

My current fave spins are -

Aquarius Dub, one of the earliest dub reggae LPs, produced by Herman Chin Loy '71/73.
Those guys could sure get some bass on a record.

Impressions - This Is My Country, Get Back 180g. Sounds pretty good.

I too get that irrational fear sometimes, of playing some records. Even though I'm not an audiophile or anything.

 

What's on my turntable right now are two NAD CD players (521BEE and 542), sitting on the lid of my old Thorens. As soon as they're packed away I'm playing a newly purchased "McCartney 2" LP.

 

At this moment it's...

Yusef Lateef - Jazz 'Round The World

 

On my all analog, all tube rig, favourite at the moment...
Cassandra Wilson 'Glamoured'
The Jayhawks 'Tomorrow the Green Grass'
The Black Crowes 'The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion'
Shaver 'Tramp On Your Street'
Soulive 'Soulive'
JG

 

A felt mat!! And a bunch of recently aquired 3 Dog Night originals on ABC that Ive been playing the hell out of, man they were good! OH STEVE.....

PS Please stop all this talk of the GK Every Picture I cant stand anymore!!

 

A mint Canadian "wide stereo" Beatlemania! With The Beatles. Simply superb, in fact sometimes I can't muster the willpower to take it off my platter and play something else.

It's overpowering!

 

Olias of Sunhillow - Jon Anderson
Klaatu - Klaatu

 

A 1960's Willie Nelson mono LP: Country Willie: His Own Songs. Has a clean-shaven Willie photo, of course. The LP is a reminder that he wrote so many great tunes...

 

Supertramp - Crime of the Century

dreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeammer... i'm such a dreeeeeeeeeeammerrr...

 

Seldom Scene "Baptizing" I have played it three times this week. I had never thought of it, but I do tend to listen to an LP quite a few times (If I really like it) before filing it away.

I probably spend about 75% of my "at home listening" time, listening to LPs.

I remember when I was young, I tried to come up with a way (luckily only in my mind) to play LPs in a moving car. Was any device like this every actually sold? I can't imagine that it would ever work.

 

Der Wer: Quadrophenia (1981 German Track Records reissue). Playing the set for the first time since taping it right after I bougt it in 1982.
