    Such a difficult recording to sound right but such a beautiful LP absolutely stunning.
    This is an absolute stunner of an album, sounds as fresh as anything I've heard - and it's 50 years old this year! To my mind it's up there with Pet Sounds, Rubber Soul and The Velvet Underground & Nico in terms of influence.

    I've got a rather odd complete cover album by Occasionally David that's really quite wonderful!

    It depends on who I'm trying to impress. For the rock fan, probably

    "Heart - Dreamboat Anne", I'm not sure this is the original pressing. It appears fairly new.

    And for the aficionado,

    "Al Dimeola - Elegant Gypsy" original pressing.

    Ask me again next week and it might be different.

    What is it in "Elegant Gypsy" that can showcase your turntable?
    Don't you just hate it when you cannot detect where the post ends and a signature line begins?

    Side two starts with, "Race with the Devil", that has some fantastic guitar playing, and the song is just full of percussive and other instruments that fill a very definite sonic space. The way your table can keep all of this busy stuff apart, to allow you to hear all of the minute details, plus it's just an excellent recording. It has that "in the room" feel to it with Al's guitar. All through side two, ending with Elegant Gypsy is full of excellent guitar work, if you're into that sort of thing. In fact, I think I'll play it right now!

    When I'm trying to make comparisons, a favorite standby is Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon. Because everyone has heard it a million times, and makes it a good reference.

    Thanks, you've whetted my appetite as well. I don't think I have that LP (I have "Land of the Midnight Sun"). Time to start digging through the used LP crates...
