April Snow Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) 7 hours ago, glenm64 said: To me she is one of the all time greats. I brought this as I liked the song "Sugar in my bowl" as it reminds me of Etta James (who I do love) and I was curious about Nina as Madonna referenced her in one of her Madame X videos (by playing one of her records) and Madonna likes to introduce her fans to "culture" - by referencing other artists from different realms (such as Frida Kahlo etc) and of course Madonna's new album is full of different instruments and styles and Batuka etc. So I got curious to see check out Nina Simone. Watched the Nina Simone movie on Netflix and she was indeed a brave & brilliant woman - and a truly amazing pianist, so sad she was born in the time she was because her struggles were so great being so brilliant as a black woman & a concert pianist , where now she would have been truly celebrated from the start.

Juzbear Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Picked up this recently from discrepancy records in Melbourne. Big Hits (High tide and green grass)- The Rolling Stones RSD reissue in translucent green mono pressing. I really think that a lot of early rock sounds better in mono. The rawness of the production is not improved in stereo, for the most part. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juzbear Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Mono morning continues, with a nice version of Elgar’s Enigma variations, conducted by Malcolm Sargent, from 1959. There is a little background noise, and it could benefit from a run through the ultrasonic cleaner, and I might have to give it a new sleeve! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juzbear Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) If you can’t listen to Ray Charles in mono, than who can you listen to! Sounding super immediate, with a youthful sounding Ray Charles singing out from between the speakers. (Makes me want to put on a black suit and hat, a la Jake and Elwood Blues) Ray Charles- The Early Years Edited March 5, 2020 by Juzbear 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juzbear Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 To close the mono morning, some Otis Redding. Such great songs and what a voice. Hard to believe he died in his mid twenties, though leaving such a trove of life affirming music. Otis Redding- Otis Blue.. Just listen to Change Gonna Come. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full Range Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) I am spinning a first pressing album today This is my favourite album from this band, although other releases were technically more polished The reason I favour this album is its rawness and honesty The listener must accept it warts and all to appreciate its uniqueness Artist - Genesis Title- Nursery Cryme Album ID - UK first pressing - CAS 1052 - 1971 Edited March 6, 2020 by Full Range 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
