I'm back at the party have ruined my 17D3 a few weeks ago. The Amadeus GTA is fixed up with a new XX2 mkii and, thanks to @mikechadwick, I now have an Arkless GTI Turbo phono stage. It's only 4 sides in but I've just scraped my jaw off the floor (really) after playing Take 5 from the Analogue Productions Time Out double 45.

 

[Woodface]

Big Thief - ‘U.F.O.F’, modern classic

 

[Woodface]

Fairport Convention - ‘What we did on our holidays’, just a classic.

 

[Woodface]

Rickie Lee Jones - ‘RLJ’

 

[webster]

Angel Olsen - All Mirrors

 

[wylton]

One of my daughters bought me AKA Trio - Joy, for Father's day. What a beautiful album and a great sounding CD too!

 

[mikechadwick]

Charles Mingus - At Carnegie hall. Qobuz 16/44 stream

 

[mrlamonta]

Classic Records reissue of this lovely lovely soundtrack.

 

[MUTTY1]

Charles Mingus - Cornell 1964. I finally own this on CD after listening to a downloaded copy for a few years. I’m now checking CD1 having had to attack it with rubbing compound to get it to play back properly (it was ‘preloved.’)

But I digress. I know I’m repeating myself but this is the greatest live album ever recorded. If you don’t believe me, I challenge you to tell me I’m wrong once you’ve listened to it all the way through.

Nonsense, yer old, but not old enough to have heard every live recording. But, on the basis of if the whole band got sick on a dodgy shared meal it would be easier to get stand-ins for a Ramones concert than the Mingus sextet….. By a considerable margin.

 

[John C]

Part of my ongoing Eddie Costa completist project. Costa is great on this as is Phil Woods

 

[paulfromcamden]

From 1956 - his only date as leader before dying of an overdose age 29 two years later.

 

[tonerei]

Fela Kuti Stalemate. Really nice tune by Fela even on laptop speakers!

Great album that, the Randy Newman cover is a highlight

 

[purplepleaser]

Yello - Toy

[Marchbanks]

Miles Davis - Pangaea. Recently arrived CD. I know it’ll get me drummed out of the Brownies, but I don’t imagine I’ll be listening to it again anytime soon. Not actively unpleasant, just bof.

 

[Joe Hutch]

The Beatles: 'Mono Masters Vol 2' and 'Anthology Vol 3'.

 

[Marchbanks]

Paul Motian Trio - Time And Time Again. Another recently arrived CD, but a much better one. Why does seemingly every ECM CD have four seconds of silence at the beginning, though? It’s just long enough for me to think I’ve got one in the long series of buttons and switches in the wrong place.
