Eagles. Their Greatest Hits 1971-75. On vinyl from 1976. Nice embossed cover art. Over 42 million copies sold.
For all the play I gave this during my teen years, it still has wonderful SQ. I just noticed for the first time tonight the inscriptions in the run out groove.
Beethoven Triple Concerto. I don't care for the balance. Piano is completely buried in the back.
+1 for Katatonia mentioned a couple of posts above.
Now spinning is new Dr. John. Pretty sweet record for all blues, funk, soul and maybe even jazz fans out there.

It's been reported that last year 4 million new vinyl was sold.

From last night, and on CD:-
Last night's late listening.
All on original vinyl.

Original Vinyl.
