It took me a few days, but I finally completed the Beck-a-thon: I listened to all of Beck’s studio albums on CD. I skipped two titles—Golden Feelings and Stereopathetic Soulmanure. I All of these CDs are USA first editions. #beck #cd #cdcollection #shunyataresearch #magicospeakers
Miles Davis, At Newport 1958. The same sextet that 8 months later would record Kind Of Blue. All solos are dyno-mite! 2018 Wax Love Europe remastered mono reissue. #milesdavis #waxlove #jazzonvinyl #newportjazzfestival #techdas
Lifehouse — No Name Face. Do y’all remember this band? I’ve been re-listening to it lately, and it still holds up well today. Great memories from the turn of the millennium. 2000 Dreamworks Records USA first edition CD. #dreamworksrecords #lifehouse #hangingbyamoment #cdcollection #dcsbartok
Florence + the Machine, Lungs. 2009 Moshi Moshi Records UK Deluxe CDx2. Super cool debut album by the band. #moshimoshirecords #florencewelch #florenceandthemachine #islandrecords #dcsonlythemusic
The Lumineers. I think it is perfectly reasonable and logical to follow Horace’s Quintet with the first two studio albums of The Lumineers… amIght? 2012 Dualtone Records USA first edition CD. #dualtonerecords #thelumineers #americana #cdcollection #aurender
The Horace Silver Quintet, Silver’s Serenade. Love Blue’s playing on this album, so good. You’re my boy, Blue! Also, I think this is the last classic quintet recording for Horace. 2024 BN worldwide stereo reissue, Tone Poet series. #bluenote #horacesilver #tonepoetseries #jazz #jazzonvinyl
Radiohead, Amnesiac. 2001 Parlophone UK CD/Book first edition. The band’s fifth studio album. Music aside, I love the super cool presentation of this edition. #parlophonerecords #radiohead #magicospeakers #cd #cdcollection
Red Hot Chili Peppers, Californication. 1999 Warner Bros. Records USA first edition CD. Great album with a decent sound. I particularly love the work and sound of Chad here, specially on tracks like Californication. #warnerbrosrecords #redhotchilipeppers #californication #cdcollection #dcsbartok
Gene Ammons, The Happy Blues. 1982 OJC/Prestige USA mono reissue. Love this album, what a cast! Big h(orns) energy on all tracks. #prestigerecords #geneammons #jazz #jazzonvinyl #dagostino
U2, Lovetown Tour 1989-12-30: Point Depot - Dublin. Not an official release (aka bootleg recording). I usually stay away from these but this was a really cool concert at the peak of U2 fame, in Dublin. The energy is amazing and the sound ain’t that bad. #u2 #dublin #bootleg #fridaynight #1989
Hank Mobley, Workout. 1962 Blue Note mono first pressing. My other copy, stereo reissue (2010 Analogue Productions), has a fantastic soundstage but this stereo fold definitely has a big pop to it. #bluenote #hankmobley #ortofon #techdas #jazzonvinyl
The White Stripes, Icky Thump. Their 6th studio album… and final. 2007 Third Man Records USA CD first edition. #thirdmanrecords #thewhitestripes #ickythump #magicom2 #dagostinoamps
John Coltrane, My Favorite Things. Reissued in mono earlier this year by Rhino Records under the Rhino High Fidelity Series. Great sounding reissue. #rhinohighfidelity #johncoltrane #jazzonvinyl #myfavoritethings #monorecords
Geese, Live At Third Man Records. Recorded Direct-To-Acetate on Jun-25 and just released under Third Man Record. Super performance! The soundstage is good but the recording seems to lack mid-high range. Great music nevertheless. #thirdmanrecords #geese #directtoacetate #audioporn #audiophiles
Jimmy Smith, The Sermon! On this cool, rainy day in the SATX, it feels like the perfect time for a cup of coffee and a focused listen to priest Jimmy and his eight acolytes, hallelujah! 1960 Blue Note USA mono reissue. #bluenote #jimmysmith #thesermon #ortofon #jazzonvinyl
Hank Mobley, A Slice Of The Top. Another of those great BN sessions that wasn’t released right away for some reason. 2024 BN Tone Poet Series stereo reissue. #bluenoterecords #tonepoetseries #hankmobley #musiconvinyl #sutherlandengineering
Dizzy Reece, Blues In Trinity. 2025 Blue Note Tone Poet Series USA stereo reissue. Tremendous supporting cast and an interesting recording location for BN and RVG: Decca Studios in London (where Dizzy was based). #bluenote #tonepoetseries #dizzyreece #jazzonvinyl #dandagostino

The Black Keys, No Rain, No Flowers. Released last year under Warner Records/Eye Eye Sound on CD, USA. Their 13th studio album and quite the departure from their usual style. Still an enjoyable listen. #warnerrecords #eyeeyesound #theblackkeys #cdcollection #aurender
YUNGBLUD, Idols. My first incursion into his music. Not the best recorded album but the music is pretty cool. 2025 Capital Records USA/Canda first edition CD. #capitalrecords #yungblud #cdcollection #aurender #dandagostino
Clark Terry with Thelonious Monk, In Orbit. 2024 Original Jazz Classics/Riverside USA mono reissue. Early morning spin, sweet album! #riversiderecords #originaljazzclassics #clarkterry #theloniousmonk #jazzonvinyl
Portishead, Dummy. 1994 Go! Beat Records European first edition CD. Trip Hop evening, that’s where it’s at. #portishead #cdcollection #gobeatrecords #triphop #dagostinoamps
That’s an AWESOME record for sure!
Count Basie Meets Oscar Peterson, The Timekeepers. Reissued in 2024 by Pablo Records/Analogue Productions as part of their subscription The Pablo Series. Just a fantastic album to listen to this Sunday morning. #countbasie #oscarpeterson #pablorecords #analogueproductions #techdas
Serge Chaloff, Blue Serge. Released last year by BN/Capital Records under the Tone Poet Series. I was not familiar with Chaloff’s playing until this BN reissue. Pretty sleek playing and an excellent support cast. #sergechaloff #tonepoetseries #bluenoterecords #jazzonvinyl #ortofon
Days Of The New (Yellow). Y’all remember DotN? When Touch, Peel and Stand started playing on the radio (remember radio?), I used to mistake them for Creed... and AIC (don’t be hatin’). 1997 Outpost Recordings USA first edition CD. #daysofthenew #cdcollection #cdsaintdead #outpostrecordings #1997
Wilco, Wilco (The Album). Released in 2009 by Nonesuch Records in the USA and the band’s 7th studio album. One of my favorites albums from Wilco. Love the songs and relaxed vibe of it. First edition USA CD. #nonesuchrecords #wilco #wilcothealbum #magicospeakers #cdcollection
Art Pepper, Getting Together! Day off spin, amazing supporting cast, amazing album. 2024 Craft Recordings/Contemporary Records WW stereo reissue. #artpepper #craftrecordings #jazzonvinyl #contemporaryrecords #techdas
Art Pepper, Intensity. Well recorded and awesome performances. I have Craft Recordings reissue from 2024 and 2013 AP AJAZ 45rpm reissue but today I am playing 1997 DCC Compact Classics USA 24K Gold CD stereo reissue. #artpepper #dcccompactclassics #contemporaryrecords #cdcollection #aurender
The Cure, Five Swing LIve. 1997 Fiction Records UK CD. Very special CD for a Cure fan. They only released 5,000 numbered copies and only available on their website back in ‘97. #thecure #fictionrecords #fiveswinglive #dagostinoamps #cdcollection
