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 #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinyl #vinylcommunity #musicsky

Finally getting around to putting up the Halloween decorations and I can't think of many better albums to listen to while doing it. #vinyl #nowspinning

PSYCHEDELIC FURS (1980) 🔥 A classic #5DebutAlbums8084 #nowplaying #musicsky #vinyl #nowspinning #musicchallenge

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) #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinyl #vinylcommunity #jazz #jazzsky #musicsky

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 #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinyl #vinylcommunity #musicsky

#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? #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinyl

#vinyl #nowspinning 25 years of we’ve always been back

These were on steady rotation when I was a kid. Over the next week I'll be playing a track from each of these to be the Selection From Dad's Collection numbers 75 to 80! #vinylsky #vinyl #vinylcommunity #musicsky

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! #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinyl #vinylcommunity #musicsky

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? #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylcommunity #musicsky

This morning's listening #nowspinning #thethe #infected Infect me with your love...

#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! #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinyl #vinylcommunity #musicsky

cracked the shrink on this '88 original tonight, don't get to experience that very often these days #nowspinning #vinylcommunity #vinylcollection #waylt

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. #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinyl #vinylcommunity #musicsky #80s

#NowPlaying #NP #NowSpinning

One of my faves of the used finds. I love the small group live recordings, though there is nothing special or audiophile about this one. A few snaps and pops, but a really enjoyable, listenable session, on the cool side 🕶️ #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinyl #vinylcommunity #jazz #jazzsky

73 is a rarity, an early RR recording that was something of an accident. 5 veteran musicians doing what they did best, not fiery, just masterful jazz. Norvo is my new favorite vibraphonist and this is a stellar recording, lovely. #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylcommunity #jazzsky

Preparing for a stressful day with the calming beauty of Bill Evans piano. There are many awesome #Jazz pianists, but Bill is the most soothing, soulful and gentle of all IMO. (Them this afternoon, it's punk & alcohol...) #JazzSky #NowPlaying

Suggested to me as the "greatest jazz vocal album ever" Love this! Vaughan right in the midst of a hard-bop group, not lush or orchestrated. Improvises like a horn player! Clifford Brown’s interplay with Sarah is magic and the band is full of legends. #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylcommunity #jazzsky

New acquisitions, 1 new, 3 used, all old. I'm excited for the Sarah Vaughan- that's going on the turntable today! #vinylsky #vinylcommunity #jazzsky

Some amazing speakers here and I'm grateful to be fortunate enough to have a set on the list www.headphonesty.com/2025/09/most...

Dad respected Willie (a fave of Mom), had a few vinyl and SACD. Strikingly stripped down performance. Willie mostly solo, silence takes the space of a backing band (piano & bass enter sparingly) Nice repress from digital masters #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinyl #vinylcommunity #musicsky

Filling my Shorter gap! Has an atmospheric mood, kind of unique (at least from my recent listens) Great release. Wide, open soundstage. Jones’s drums in particular have punch and texture, and Hubbard’s trumpet cuts clean. #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinyl #vinylcommunity #jazz #jazzsky

Rhino HiFi pressing of L.A. Woman. I love how the blues comes through on Side A, then psychedelic for the first Side B tracks. Some great songs. Pressing sounds great, about as good as can be expected for as chaotic as these Doors sessions. #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylcommunity #musicsky

Another from dad's 70s pop/folk. I've always loved these songs, they're just so beautiful and wistful. Selection from Dad's Collection #71 #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinyl #vinylcommunity

Only had 1 Blakey so I added this to the collection! Kicks off strong, iconic title track. Blakey drives everything, letting others come into focus (Morgan's solos are amazing) and taking off with explosive energy. #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinyl #vinylcommunity #jazz #jazzsky

'i love you i know.. i love you I KNOW'🙄💛🎵 •yello• 1980~1985•THE NEW MIX IN ONE GO 1986

Three new arrivals to play! Which next??? #vinylsky #vinyl #vinylcommunity

Returning to a theme. Local #recordstores. Duty bound to ease you into the #jazz realm. Each week, after devouring the last, I would go into ours for my "what's next!". Somethin' Else is definitely on the "what's next!" list. All-Star lineup. #vinyl #music open.spotify.com/album/3Wu0ch...

I never knew Dad listened to reggae, so this was a surprise! He had 2 others on SACD. Selection #70. Really great compilation of radio classics. Marley truly was a legend. Nice to have on vinyl and the GZ reissue is pretty enjoyable. #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinyl #musicsky

Classical side trip for #69. Before jazz, Dad loved opera & symphony and was a TAS subscriber- this was surely a Grail disc. I can hear why! Dynamics may be the best I've heard on ANY format. Soundstage is deep and expansive through the Paragon #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinylcommunity

Adding iconic records to the collection. Fantastic! Immediately recognizable groove on St Thomas, shows off peak Rollins inventiveness. Track 2 I relaxed into. The quartet is just gold, masters at play. REALLY happy with this pick up. #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinylcommunity #jazzsky

I think we need another punk movement. I missed the first one by about 10 years This one still rocks, mid 80s reissue #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinyl #vinylcommunity #musicsky #punkrock

68th Selection From Dad's Collection is the only one with Sonny Rollins as leader (Sax Colossus is on order!) Pianoless-trio sounds raw and free- Manne on piano, Ray Brown on bass- fitting, dad was an LA4 completist. Worthy of repeat listens #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinylcommunity #jazz #jazzsky

And now for the kid's selection... Porcupine Pie? 🤷 She has fun playing it, so I'm happy! Audio quality is not quite up to the main system 😂 #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinyl

Another pre-owned addition, some crackles and maybe not a cornerstone of the collection but an enjoyable listen. Westchester has such a great groove. Good lineup, Grover Washington's tin whistle sounds like an ocarina! #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinyl #vinylcommunity #jazz #jazzsky

Another New Old Vinyl Day! My OG copy of Skylarking got "borrowed" long ago, but now back in the collection with Go 2 and English Settlement Beauty 200g remaster sounds incredible #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinyl #vinylcommunity #musicsky #postpunk #80s

Dad often played Simon & Garfunkel when I was young and he never stopped being a fan. This is his 2012 RDS pressing of Simon's solo masterpiece (Selection #67) Huge influence bringing world music to mainstream (Ladysmith!) #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinyl #vinylcommunity #musicsky #80s

Dizzy bossa nova? I never knew! Cool look into Dizzy's foray into the Latin/Cuban scene. Dad would've liked it: he had other latin/brazil influenced jazz AND Dizzy was a fave. Mono pressing works great. Not on fire but lively. Fun addition. #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinyl #jazz #jazzsky

Previn x2: Picked up West Side Story and listened to it with dad's Touch of Elegance (#66) 'Don't Mean A Thing' has swing, but most of the rest of Touch sets a cocktail-jazz-sophisticate mood. West Side, jazzy & boppin', is a trio's take on the musical. The Craft Acoustic Sounds press is stunning.

Good gravy! This one smokes, impressive. Didn't expect so much fire, crazy skill here. Can clearly hear improv and interplay, players bounce off each other, taking turns in the lead. Flawless 1982 Japan Verve reissue, happy find #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylcommunity #jazz #jazzsky

Latest acquisitions: 3 used, 3 new, can't wait to play. Let's see... Jazz, jazz, jazz, local Indy, 80s darkwave, jazz. Yep. #vinylsky #vinylcommunity #jazzsky

Been on a Burton binge: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and Wednesday have me thinking of the Goth days. I remember being captivated hearing The Jeweler. Still a deep and gorgeous recording even with some crackles #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinyl #vinylcommunity #musicsky #80s #postpunk

Dad's collection focused on cool jazz & hard-bop, so I went looking for a better fit than Hot House Flowers. Enter 'Black Codes' Dad would've liked this one, acoustic quintet with hints of Miles Davis and Coltrane and the swing missing from Flowers #vinylsky #vinyl #vinylcommunity #jazz #jazzsky

And back to my own vinyl, my fave 80s synth-pop. Yello's music always had an atmosphere for me, a sense of being somewhere, like a movie score. Certainly dated now but I still dig it! #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylcommunity #musicsky #80s

NOW we're talkin'! Swinging, grooving, crazy good comp of 2 greats with amazing backing. Nice Verve production for #65, great sounding release. I have another Hawkins solo but this is my first Webster. 'Young Bean' is a favorite #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinyl #vinylcommunity #jazz #jazzsky

#64 is a Wynton selection. I've heard him a couple of times but never like this... Glossy, lush string arrangements, more symphonic than jazzy #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinyl #vinylcommunity #jazz #jazzsky

Representing the cheerful, pop-oriented side of jazz, Chuck Mangione is the 63rd selection. Definitely in the smooth genre now, more than with Grusin before. But dad enjoyed sunny fusion from time to time. #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinyl #vinylcommunity #jazz #jazzsky

My buddy's super-cool friend popped this cassette into his car stereo ('85ish). I was awed. Still an amazing listen, there's nothing like it. I think I should learn the bass line for Bogus Man #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinyl #vinylcommunity #musicsky #artrock

Good to be back listening and sharing here! Dug out some more 80s for a throwback Thursday (I may have gone through a Spandau phase) #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #vinyl #vinylcommunity #musicsky #80s #postpunk #newwave
