Ruth Brown's 'Rock & Roll' playing on VPI Scoutmaster 12-pound acrylic platter glowing pink. Audio Technica AT-VM95ML cartridge. MFSL Pressing #407 of 2000. #nowplaying #nowspinning MoFi's Flawless restoration of recordings from the 40s and 50s, bridging the gap between jump blues, R&B, and the emerging sound of rock & roll. Cover is large color blocks, white on top, brown on bottom, with 'ruth brown' lower cased in red, white, and pink letters on the brown background. Album title and a small profile photo of Brown at top left, top banner MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LAB, white letters on pink
Back to Vinyl with this stunning release for my birthday! Brown's best known for live energy but the SOUND on this is relevatory, an audiophile restoration of an icon.
Perfect press by MFSL and RTI, the new centerpiece of my R&B section.

Todd Rundgren from the inside sleeve SPECIALLY PRICED 2-RECORD SET Continuing the orgy of self-reflection is the most mispro-nounced, misspelled and mis-understood artist on the block, Bearsville Records' Todd Rund-gren. This song, besides being on Todd's double album, Something/Anything?, hails from "Baby Needs a Pair of Snakeskin Boots," a "pop operetta" which occupies Side 4. Whereas Herr Rundgren sings and plays all the parts on Sides 3, 2 and 1 (the latter of which contains his hit single "I Saw the Light"), Todd lets some of his friends come in and play with him on Side 4. "My original idea for this side," he says, "was a series of songs with sing-along choruses. All the songs were performed live and there were no over-dubs. The people that showed up were the people who sang and played, meaning that anyone who happened to be in the studio or in the neighborhood and didn't have anything better to do came in to play. Every-body, including me, learned the songs immediately prior to re-cording them, so most of it is spontaneous to a degree. Any-way, I decided it would scan better if I drafted it into a sort of operetta, that kind of thing being very popular nowadays." Musicians on "Dust" include Mark Klingman, organ; John Simon, drums; Randy Brecker, trumpet; Mike Brecker, tenor sax; Barry Rogers, trombone; Rick Derringer, guitar, and John Siegler, bass.
Mr Rundgren is #77. I know his production(see Skylarking) more than his songs, cool to hear his Dust In The Wind here.
Live, minimally practiced, no overdubs? Respect. I appreciate that rawness. This has been a fun series for me

Selection from Dad's Collection Schlagers! from the Warner Bros/Reprise 'Loss Leader' series Playing on VPI Scoutmaster turntable, 12-pound acrylic platter glowing yellow. Audio Technica AT-VM95ML cartridge. Cover is SCHLAGERS! with the letters illustrated as a monolithic rocky cliff face (Peaking on the A) Dr. Demento (Barry Hansen) compiled the songs and wrote the liner notes
Album cover back, illustration of a ship steaming toward a rocky shore, all black on yellow. Artists names across the bottom Miriam Makeba✩ Rod McKuen✩ Joni Mitchell The Neon Philharmonic ✩ Randy Newman ✩ Peter, Paul & Mary The Mike Post Coalition The San Sebastian Strings ✩ Frank Sinatra The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band Mason Williams ✩ Glenn Yarbrough The Vogues
Text from inner sleeve, test bios written by Doctor Demento! "Vince Guaraldi is most familiar to you as the writer-performer of the now-jazz-standard "Cast Your Fate to the Wind," and has, at various stages in his career, played with Woody Herman, Cal Tjader, June Christy, and the Lighthouse All-Stars. At present living off the fat of the land in beautiful Mill Valley, California, Vince likes to build model cars and listen to records and collaborate on albums with jazz biggie Shorty Rogers."
VINCE! #76 comes from another wacky WB comp. Some good tracks on this. I can't imagine a time before Guaraldi was known for Peanuts, but here it is!
Great sound for a comp, recorded loud! (I can play this at min)

Warner Reprise Loss Leader Series: The Big Ball (1970), cover is a photo of a big ball (red) Playing on VPI Scoutmaster turntable, 12-pound acrylic platter glowing red. Audio Technica AT-VM95ML cartridge.
Irreverent text, typical of this series Coming in to Los Angeles (By Arlo Guthrie. Time 3:08) From Running Down the Road, Reprise album 6346, coproduced by Lenny Waronker and Van Dyke Parks Arlo Guthrie, celebrated star of stage, screen, radio, and the cover of Newsweek, noted tall-tale scenarist, and the young musician who proved for once and all that white men can indeed talk the blues, certainly needs no fluffy introduction, especially considering that you no doubt saw the film, bought the album, and watched him on Johnny Carson and all. Since the monumental Alice's Restaurant, there have been three Arlo albums: Arlo, Running Down the Road, and Washington County.
In 1970, WB was trying to appeal to the anti-establishment kids (what happened to them??)
Some crazy, trippy, tracks on here, a lot I've never heard of!
I'll pick Arlo's _Coming into Los Angeles_ for #76

THE 1969 WARNER-REPRISE RECORD SHOW Playing on VPI Scoutmaster turntable, 12-pound acrylic platter glowing magenta to coordinate with the album cover's nutsy Peter Max-esque psychedelic chorus line illustration. Audio Technica AT-VM95ML cartridge. Selection from Dad's Collection #75! Cinnamon Girl is the only song I remember dad playing from this one, sadly missing now.
Typically ironic Loss Leaders bio of Lorraine Ellison
#75 is a CRAZY weird mix of music, wow
Would've chosen Cinnamon Girl but... No disc 1, only a mis-shelved "After the Gold Rush", which I have no sleeve for 😥
Nice sound, loud-mastered vinyl. Lorraine is phenomenal(!), that's soul! Why haven't I heard her?

7-inch for the David Bowie (lyrics and vocals) theme song Cat People(Putting out Fire) playing on Playing on VPI Scoutmaster turntable, 12-pound acrylic platter glowing red. Audio Technica AT-VM95ML cartridge. Cover is suspended over the turntable, all black with a vignetted closeup of Natassja Kinski's eyes from a scene in the film. Text in white with 'cat people' in a script font underlined in blood red.
7-inch for October 7
I love Bowie's vocals on the soundtrack more than on the Let's Dance version. And the film was so hot for a teenager in the 80s, not sure it still stands up today 😆
Nice sounding 45rpm, dynamic and loud!

Bill Nelson - On A Blue Wing Playing on VPI Scoutmaster turntable, 12-pound acrylic platter glowing yellow. Audio Technica AT-VM95ML cartridge. Camera is a colorful illustration of.. not exactly sure, abstract.
Bill Nelson albums sitting on the first cover of VPI Scoutmaster turntable, acrylic platter glowing white- On A Blue Wing (colorful abstract illustration on white background) Vistamix (monochrome image of Nelson in profile printed on silver)
LOTS of bass on Blue Wing, good recording. Thanks @zos93.bsky.social for inspiring me to dig out Bill Nelson vinyl.
Vistamix is more dated, VERY early 80s electronic, but I prefer it. A bit of Japan (Mick Karn on a track!), a bit of Devo?

Santana - Abraxas. Amazing line up and a very live sounding recording. Playing on VPI Scoutmaster turntable, 12-pound acrylic platter glowing violet. Audio Technica AT-VM95ML cartridge. Album cover (right) from Annunciation by Mati Klarwein depicting a winged, tattooed angel Gabriel astride a conga. Lots of psychedelic colors and details here. The 74th Selection from Dad's Collection I've shared here on Bluesky!
#74 from Dad's Collection, back from his music festival days. Santana is legendary and unmistakable.
He also had this on SACD and now I see why, too many clicks & pops. Back on the shelf it goes and I'll keep enjoying it in HiRes!

Simple Minds - Once Upon A Time, playing on VPI Scoutmaster turntable. A steel perimeter clamp holds the vinyl flat. Lights under the acrylic platter glow through the translucent black vinyl. Audio Technica AT-VM95ML cartridge playing track 2 (All The Things She Said) Album cover is a collage made up of slices of the band member's faces
FIRST exposure to Simple Minds was a friend's gold marbled New Gold Dream (loved). 2 releases later, their sound is less New Wave, still great.
Great 1985 US pressing. No noise, great mastering, good bass. This is on repeat.
