Vinyl I am listening to...

[Record Player]

Off all the fabfour, I spin him the most !!

Simon is on a roll with his Vinyl sessions these days. The new lot from Kolkata must be the stimulant .

 

[Simon Wires]

A night with Smokie .. Sad, the Alice of next door is missing!!

 

[Simon Wires]

A sealed copy of Russian pressing .. Paid slightly a higher price.

Oistrakh's last concert in Moscow. 19 days after, our man kicked the bucket!!

A sought after vinyl among Oistrakh fans..

 

[stillsearching..]

This a 60's American satirical music album of Tom Lehrer accompanied in piano.

At home,for a full 40minutes, he made every one laugh non-stop; to an extent, even my 10 year old kid!!

Interesting to know, he was an accomplished mathematician by profession, and could feel its influence in his lyrics..

An U.S pressing with good S.Q.

S.O.S !!! If any one has a second copy of his albums,I would like to buy..

he was one seriously hilarious guy, "masochism tango" !!!!!!!! :lol:

Hi R.P,

Rather, I gave up that other stimulant

Beware, the walls have ears!! So Im putting it on a cryptic note..

Many a weeks ago, I got so wasted one whole night in a traffic signal; I waited for the blinking amber signal to change. And it did change, but then, the sun was up . There I put in a semicolon to the Cork & Mug DYI projects, for next 90 days..

Yes,4-6 Hrs a day of vinyl spinning is helping me to, cope up with the withdrawal symptoms. And the recently installed Tapatalk android application has become handy in uploading the clicks instantly,with much ease..

Btw, majority of these albums are with me for almost 10~15 years, and Im yet to explore the recent lot.

W.I.P - Washing in Progress

 

[Simon Wires]

Playing the second-best of the second copies sorted out of the collection..

 

[jls001]

Spinning the self titled Fleetwood Mac album from '75.

I also keep coming back to Beethoven's Symphony Nos. 1 and 4 - Coriolan Overture. My copy is by the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Otto Klemperer. I love the dark, full-throated orchestral first movement (Adagio molto - allegro con brio).

I also discovered a sleeper from my record rack - John Klemmer's Touch. Excellent music, excellent sonics. I guess one could pigeonhole him into the smooth jazz genre.

 

[Simon Wires]

Spinning next round of second-copies ..

 

[jls001]

Playing John Mayer - Battle Studies.

Burning Train recording is excellent by any standards. One of my favorites

Russian heavy metal - Wow!! That would be a great listening experience!!

Ah-ha, Stay on these Roads brings back memories. I had the cassette of that album back in my college days. Those were the days of Euro-disco music and Ah-ha scored big with their international hit, Take on me from their earlier album, Hunting High and Low (had this one too)
