Listening to Ben Sidran, while having Sunday lunch with my good wife.
Ben There, Done That
Live around the world
https://www.discogs.com/Ben-Sidran-...e-Around-The-World-1975-2015/release/12795864.

Only got into Ben in 1973 by chance. I Was rooting through a record bargain bin and found this one going for a giveaway...not looked back since. A very talented and clever artist.

Came across this one as I continue to catalogue my CD collection in Discogs. Couldn’t locate the DRs for it, but it sounds amazing. Very crankable with plenty of punch and a fantastic warm, phat, and round bottom. Young Bob was actually young then and his voice and licks are in their prime. Wow!!!

Looks like the original Hightone release:

It is the original Hightone release and those are ridiculously good DR numbers. Thanks for posting them, Beef!

A light number before I hit the sack
Dark Side of the Moog
https://www.discogs.com/Pete-Namlook-Klaus-Schulze-The-Dark-Side-Of-The-Moog/release/1073955Giving it an uplift by playing it through JRiver and using the 7.1 playback option.

I'm trying to understand. You're playing the 5.1 mix in 7.1 or upmixing the Stereo to 7.1?

Every one of Pete Namlooks' 5.1 mixes is great.

Its the stereo version up-mixed in 7.1.

Those Pete Namlook 5.1 mixes are indeed great...and some quite hard to find.

Ben Sidran!! Caught him live at Green Dolphin Street in Chicago about 25 years ago.

He's got a good travel agent! Hah!

Alpert's Brass are Comin' coincided with a TV special of the same name. Great album.

 

[The Rang]

Didn’t know about the Herb Alpert TV Special, will see if I find it on YouTube

 

[Quad Linda]

The Beat of the Brass and Coney island also had specials.

Not sure if all of his specials are on You Tube. I know some are. There are also clips of ABC Hollywood Palace's "A&M Records" show. Of course, it was hosted by Herb. Among the clips is Emmit Rhodes/Merry Go Round.

Ok, next up...

Wings Over America - Paul McCartney and Wings
Deluxe Edition Box Set



This album was originally released during my senior year in high school containing three (!!!) vinyl records. I received this album as a high school graduation present from my sisters and listened to it late into the night... It was great getting to hear live versions of all of these songs, and with this release, Maybe I’m Amazed finally got the monster hit status it really deserved. There were three tracks that were new to me, Soily, Richard Cory, and Go Now. And then, best of all, FINALLY, we got to hear Paul sing five Beatles songs live!!!

It was great way to end a great day for me!

 

[Quad Linda]

You make me feel old. When Wings Over America came out, I had just moved into my first house.

First, I got the LP's, then the 2 CD. I also bought the deeluxe box.

I went through those same purchasing upgrades of album, double CD and now the deluxe box set. McCartney put out a lot of fun extras with his albums back then. I know I had a poster from this album on my wall. I remember looking at the album sleeves, trying to figure out what in the world these slivers of light were.... and finally realizing it was the door of the airplane opening wider on each side of the sleeve... I never understood the color squares... just art I guess! I believe I still have all but one of my old album posters, rolled up in a large cardboard tube.... My John Lennon Imagine poster went off with a friend who was going to get it matted and framed for me.... but it never came back home.

Ok, now on to ...

Love And Rockets! Earth - Sun - Moon

 

[Hamilton59]

It’s been a while since I listened to this one....

Robbie Robertson



I’d forgotten how much Peter Gabriel and Tony Levin were on this album.
