What's the Latest CD/LP Added to Your Pile?

Pete Seeger & Big Bill Broonzy Live LP

Supertramp Even in the quietest moments dbx sealed lp.....found on amazon for $10!
Perez Prado Mambo Jambo Japanese cd-4

Troubadours - Carole King & James Taylor CD/DVD
This Train Don't Stop There Anymore - Elton John CD EP
Live at Mar y Sol '72 - Emerson, Lake & Palmer CD

Beach Boys Smile (single disk, jewel case) from the UK. Got this for about $11. Very nice music, although I thought it would be stereo. It's mono.

Maybe that's why it wasn't released way back then. I think mono wouldn't have been accepted then like it is now. Now it's something special but back then it was just mono.

Did manage to get a copy of Barbara Streisand Guilty on dualdisc. I'll have to get three channels out of it like Quad Linda did..

not received yet, but a pre-oder from the fine folks at Burning Shed...

Peter Hammill - Pno Gtr Vox Box

I got the 2 cd release of this a couple months ago, but now he's doing an expanded 7cd version..awesome setlist with the discs each having their own "concept:"

CD1 - 'What If There No Guitar?'
CD2 - 'What If There No Piano?'
CD3 - 'What If I Knew This Was The Last Show I'd Ever Do?'
CD4 - 'What If I Played Only VDGG/VDG Songs?'
CD5 - 'What About Songs I Didn't Play In Japan?'
CD6 - 'What About Songs I Dropped From The Setlists?'
CD7 - 'What About The Best Alternate Versions'

Though not for the uninitiated, pH solo shows are wonderful intense experiences, and if he had made this a 20 disc set I'd still pony up for a copy.

The Persuasions' STREET CORNER SYMPHONY, from 1972, on Capitol. An accapella group with a fondness for '50s oldies and more modern soul without (as they would've said ) anything but the human voice, this would've made a great (if minimalistic) quad album.

Another order, hoping to see it in my mailbox next week sometime:

My wife is an old fan of Rod Stewart. I came across a title "Once in a Blue Moon" (The lost album) and picked it up for her. I was really amazed at how good this was. It was recorded in the late 1990's and kind of shelved because he had recorded his unplugged album right after this. I guess they figured the "unplugged" album was more marketable.
He does some really good covers on this one and the band behind him really shines! Even the "Skunk" shows up to lay down some licks.
Produced by Trevor Horn and the quality shows.
But, the real treat/surprise for me was that after track 10 which was supposed to be the last one, lies a gem. It goes to track 11 and begins a five minute countdown. At that point, an eighteen minute studio/practice/run through session kicks in and Mr. Stewart really shows his voice. A real treat.
*Pay special attention to "Waltzing Matilda" on this one. I have never heard it quite like this!

turned today to Salvation Army store and went thru pile of LPs.
picked 6 as those in very good shape (at least visualy)

Joni Mitchell - Ladies Of The Canyon (i think i already have this but wasn't sure and .99 cents
wouldn't be enough to prevent my future bankruptcy )

Rockin' On The Airwaves - compilation off canadian bands of 80th. i hate for most part the rock
of those times but this LP is CBS Half-Speed Mastered.

Paul McCartney - self titled album (not a fan of Beatles or their solo projects but again - .99 isn't huge loss)

Procol Harum live in concert with Edmonton Symphony Orch. - considering this one as a good find.
love this album, have somewhere pretty crappy mastered CD and now will hear how it sounds from LP.
pretty good album, would be nice to have it as an Advanced Surround.

Mozart The Last Six Symphonies Vol.1 - Herbert von Karajan and Berliner Philharmonic. good find also, it's
on Angel label which usualy have pretty good recordings and have used very good quality vynil for pressing.

and a jam of today's purchases - Merry Widow Highlights with Elisabeth Schwarzkopf. also Angel recording.
love her voice. there was EMI anoncement for this year batch of classical reprints on SACD which included
2 SACD with her. now in waiting

Al Stewert 24 carrots dbx lp
Cat Stevens teaser and dbx lp
I have been listening to two dbx lps lately, music for espana , arranged for two pianos and a Laurindo Almeida classical guitar lp. Just sublime music, ultra quiet and great sounding. I am getting addicted to these dbx lps as much as quad!
On the way: Police zenyatta mondatta on dbx and Kenton plays Chicago on dbx.

Barry Adamson - I Will Set You Free

Pre-ordered this a while back and it came in the mail today, just giving it a first spin.

If you don't know of him, he was the bass player in Magazine and then Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and since then has made several superb solo albums.
