Looking to get TT

No "script following" proposed by me.

Tom you lucky!@#$%^&* how did you get that Jap copy of schools boys. I have never seen one or you would have had a bidding war but anyway you made me laugh with that get with the program comment. Yes get some swirls get gravy train and may blitz for starters. If you don't want to spend the big bucks for the UK swirl you can get the reissue on the Korean Si Wan Label.
The May blitz was also issued on the paramount label and is less $ as well. If you like fuzz get some Dragonfly. I cannot stay seated when I play that Lp. The first edition goes for big bucks but it has been
reissued on the Eroe Progressivo label EPLP004, that's the one I have.

This talk of quality pressings is still about the sound and how it can be better.

4yanx I belive the comment about the 4th pressing of Led Zep 4 was a Joke, but the info about the Classic records new reissues was not. If you don't have any, do yourself a big favor, get one and see what I am talking about.
Dude, I liked that Captain Beyond comment when you said Dancing madly backwards the song started in my head.

Also Joni Mitchell court and spark DCC is great as well.

This talk about one-upmanship that some of you are afraid of. I do not understand it. To me if you have the Jap copy of the white lp first ed on red wax. That says to me you have a great love of that Lp and would stop at nothing to get the best possible recording. Because that is what you would have. Some may buy if for some kind of Trophy. Well If I had the cash you never know I might have a different opinion. For now my eas copy will have to do.
There is still to many lp's to get, and to spend $200.00 on 1 LP.

Zaikes, This pressing hound thing, Tom and I are pressings hounds, you know why, better sound. I hear more music,some times a lot more. Its the source remember,but its hard to balance the Quantity/Quality thing.

I think what Tom is talking about is what he has been practicing lately and I have not. When someone says something well out of the mainstream of thinking, he doesn't make any comments. So he will not start an argument about nothing that has no resolution anyway.
is this it TWL?

I don't think I can be a Sycophant (I had to look that one up)

Ron, a team player

Ron, the Schoolboys album is Jap RCA RLP-2127 with the butterscotch color RCA label. I bought it new in the very early 1980s from a Japanese record vendor YSL. It has the obi and all the inserts.

How about this one? A Japanese Steely Dan "Can't Buy a Thrill" mint with obi. I love that one.

OK, I get the message, here. Adieu to you.

TOM How about this one? A Japanese Steely Dan "Can't Buy a Thrill" mint with obi. I love that one.
I said earlier that I had ALL the Steely dan on Jap pressings well that was Just to save time and space and not to offend 4yanks with some one-upmanship.

To clarify I have all the Steely Dan On Jap With 2000 yen OBI on the black rainbow MCA label MINT
save in accept "Gaucho" which is that MCA Half-speed, Pretzel logic/Canada pressing as for "Can't Buy a Thrill" I bought a new 180 gram pressing its on a black ABC label.I love that one. IT is a first rate pressing and I think limited production. well now days I think they are all limited to some extent. I have a Donald Fagen "The Nightfly" Japanese PROMO with OBI MINT you got to Love that one!!
Have you bought any of those new Columbia 180 gram reissues DON'T they such bad.

How did I do answering 4yanks nasty old post on that other turntable Thread, about the Aurora?

I was laughing my self to death reading my own post!
well I thought it was funny

your brother in the analog front.

Ron, you parasite, you. Tom must be feeling like he has fleas.........................couldn't resist this as my last my post on this site.

For the record, I was not targeting 4yanx with my comments about "sticking together". I was referring to the other thread where there were some strong words exchanged about the comparison between the Nottinghams and the Aurora. I felt it was better if we didn't so strongly attack each other's tables. In retrospect, it would have been better if I had kept my mouth shut.

I guess it's time to put this thread to sleep!
Just want to thank those who answered my questions.
Viridian, thanks for the info on the VPI and BTW thanks for the tip on the Kenner Plug N Play as I will consider this when I get my second system up and running!

No, Tom you were right, but only one person used some strong words,and it was not me.
I Think it is wise to not bash each other and our equipment.

RR, if you're still around, you might like to know that I found the first Captain Beyond LP cheap at an estate sale (no 3D cover, 4" spine split, but clean vinyl) and picked it up just so I could come back here and tell you how much I didn't care for it, heh heh :-) I place it somewhere between Captain Beefheart and Captain & Tennille (think I'll stick with Mr. Van Vliet...) Happy New Year, everybody!
