Spinning Hot Buttered Soul (1969) tonight.
On an original Enterprise pressing, the space in “Walk On By” feels intentional strings wide, bass grounded, Hayes steady at center. Not rushed. Not loud. Just controlled.
Some records ask for patience.
This one rewards it.

Luther Vandross’ Best of Love feels like it was made for a slow evening. Four sides of timeless R&B, a glass of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, and enough room to let the record do what it does best.
Valentine’s listening, the Needle & Vine way. 💿🍷

Ike & Tina Turner’s Workin’ Together captures momentum and tension—easy at the start, rough at the finish. Raw soul, real groove, and a record meant to be played loud and lived with.
Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours still rewards a full listen. From The Chain to its quiet fallout, this one settles in best at 33⅓ with a simple Bordeaux nearby.

Talking Book is one of those records that grows with you. Analog synths, deep basslines, soul and restraint—all best heard straight through. Paired with a clean Albariño, it’s a reminder to slow down and listen on purpose.
