What vinyl are you spinning right now??

Don Patterson - These Are Soulful Days (Muse). Patterson with Jimmy Heath, Pat Martino & Albert Heath. Killer band but hasn't hit me yet. It's kinda boring. The biggest bummer is that the record looks mint but plays with loud pops throughout. This is what I always hated about vinyl. Never the sound, just these apparently random noises on a perfect-looking record. CTI pressings are the worst offenders but this one is pretty bad.

My new CTIs were always cleaner than clean. The used ones are almost always noisy, probably a function of being bedroom and/or party records, perhaps.

It's funny, because this one local jazz DJ went from station to station for over 20 years, and I think he took his collection with him. He'd play Bags' "People Make The World Go Round" several time a week (when Sunflower was released, he'd play it every night, for at least a year or two) for all those years, and after a while it got to be a game o listen for the new pop in the record. One night it dawned on me that, gee, I grew up with those scratches, so to speak, and it moved me to tears.

Well, maybe not to tears, but it did get me to hearing pops on records with a whole new level of appreciation and affection, at least sometimes.

Just remember folks, every time you hear a pop on "Povo", somebody's busting a nut somewhere, or has. One day, if you're lucky, it will be you.

Damn you!

:) finally decided it was time to jump for a copy. Fabulous record

Ugh I used to own a mint copy of that...found it for $4 back in the mid-90s! Around that time I didn't have that much money to spend on records so could not resist flipping it for a few hundred back then to spend on other records :(

One I've never owned because I don't want to pay $200-$250 for it. I like but don't love it.

The wife was out at a choral concert tonight(an acapella group from Finland called "Rajaton" - and she thinks my music is weird!) so after I put our toddler to bed I was able to spin a few more records:

Taj Mahal Travellers "July 15, 1972" (Sony, Japan)

MEV "united patchwork" (Horo, Italy)

currently

Edward Vesala "Satu" (ECM, Germany)

I let a buddy borrow my LP of Jimi Hendrix's "Electric Ladyland" and it came back with a pop in "All Along The Watchtower". I still "hear" that pop even when I play the CD. :)

Trevor Watts plays with so much intensity, but then he probably always does.

That's a great record.

Jimmy Lyons-Sunny Murray Trio, Jump Up/What to Do About

Love that Lyons album.

Been hearing about this album all week, so felt I might as well play it. Got a crown from Penguin, it did :shrug[1]:
