What’s On Your Turntable Right Now?

I bought this vinyl back when he joined Kansas just because I wanted to see what he sounded like apart from Dixie Dregs.  Not really my kind of music - very 'guitar-god-showing-off' type stuff, but damn, the guy can play!  Lots of sounds here - country, fusion, prog (sort of),...

 

I don't have any LPs, unfortunately. But right now I'm listening to "The Power and the Glory" by Gentle Giant. Wish I had the LP.

I'm listening to:

Popol Vuh - Affenstunde (1970)

First pressing of this Kraut classic. It's said to be one of the first "rock" albums in history to include the big moog, which Fricke, according to rumour, sold to Klaus Schulze after some sort of Christian revelation whereafter he wasn't interested in electronic music, and then switched to piano.

And I really love the photo on the back cover:

Yeah, I know of that issue, it was released in the late 70ies I believe. I own recently pressed issues of 'NEU!' and 'NEU! '75', great records, I've yet to hear '2' though.

Now playing:

      

I have a mono pressing of that 'Freak Out!' album. In pretty good condition. Also a stereo pressing. A later pressing. It's in VERY good condition. Love that album.

Last vinyl I played today was Kansas - 'Masque'

I have the American pressing on the London label, but I do have an original UK Deram pressing of Egg's Polite Force in completely mint condition, one of my most treasured pieces of vinyl.

Now Playing:

Humble Pie - Humble Pie (1970)

Just picked it up today, original UK pressing, listening to it for the first time, Hard/Blues rock with few progressive as well as folk influences, very good actually.

A little bit out of subject but the picture on this cover comes from a series of carvings which were made to accompany Oscar Wilde's Salome. There are great if you appreciate visual arts.
