reading this thread, and about Laura Nyro (Nigro), made me pick this nostalgic gem to enjoy next.

mostly this session is backed by the Wrecking Crew with Hal Blaine, Joe Osborn, Ray Pohlman, Tommy Tedesco, etc.

 

[fthesoundguy]

Sick of trying to figure out my SACD issue, so I decided to finally play this bad boy. Eyewitness and In Floral Green are decent b-sides!

Spinning now...

I always have two turntables connected to the big system, and after listening to vinyl all afternoon, I decided to throw caution to the wind and open up a nice sealed piece, so I dug through that pile and picked out this double disc 2018 release ... the incomparable TOWER OF POWER!!! In Stereo.

Technics SL-M5G w/Ortofon 40 cart
Both Macro Reference amps working “top” duty
Both MA-5002s on four 18” subs.
Sansui AU-X911DG preamp (separated)

anyone who has seen (and heard) T.O.P. live can attest to how appropriately named their group is!
I was in the mood to approximate the T.O.P. concert experience here at home, before it got too late and the police show up at my door.

Artist: Tower Of Power
Album: Soul Side Of Town
Label: Artistry Music ART7059LP
Mack Avenue Records II, LLC
Released: 2018
50th Anniversary Recording Journey!

That's the one. I have this one and one other of his film's soundtracks. The production of the materials and the pressing and sound are really great. Each comes with a poster too, if you are into that sort of thing! His films always have a certain sadness in the music, but none more than 2046. Its beautiful.

I have seen them a couple of times. The local Jazz club here in Seattle had them at least once or twice every year. Always a high energy fun show. That poor place has been closed now for over 9 months. They swear they are ready to reopen as soon as they get the word. I hope I live to see it!

 

[Quad Linda]

Caught TOP live at the Arcada Theater in St. Charles IL a couple years ago. Fantastic!!

Soul With a Capital S.

 

[gvl_guy]

I've been almost addicted to this album recently. Hall & Oates Rock n Soul part 1. Played through the synthesizer in my Sansui 9001, some of the tunes actually sounded like they were made for quad.

The main vocal in Rich Girl stayed totally in front, while the rears had the harmony and strings. A little"pumping" at times like SQ full logic but pretty amazing listening
