2/3/24

Janelle Monae- The Age Of Pleasure (Bits and pieces of the first five songs)
(I have no patience for this.)

Paul Chambers- 1st Bassman
(First time. Basically a Yusef Lateef record, with Chambers leading the melodies on bass. Nice record.)

The Smile- A Light For Attracting Attention
(Second time around, just as solid. Really like this record.)

The Black Crowes- By Your Side
(One of their two best!)

Paul McCartney & Wings- Band On The Run (Abbey Road HSM)
(New remaster sounds really great.)

Mott The Hoople- Mott (Kevin Gray Master)
(This pressing already blew away any original domestic pressings, but now with this new Ortofon cartridge, it explodes out of the speakers.)

Tom Petty &The Heartbreakers- The Best Of Everything (Record Three)
(Been on a TP kick, as of late.)

Goo Goo Dolls- A Boy Named Goo
(Forgot how much I loved this band before they sold out and wrote nothing but bland HBO promo ballads. One more solid record after this one and then you can put a fork in'em.)

Judas Priest- Angel of Retribution
(First solid record in years, and also the last time I saw them live. 2005. RAWK!)

Boston- S/T (Kevin Gray Remaster)
(See Mott The Hoople above.)

The Who- Meaty, Beaty, Big & Bouncy (Abbey Road, HSM)
(Comfort food. The greatest collection of singles put to wax.)

Professor Longhair- New Orleans Piano
(Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans? This Atlantic collection is as good as it gets.)

X- Wild Gift
(Had to get one more in before the Knicks/Lakers game. Going out hard and fast. "We're Desperate" kicks ass!)
