@bdp24 Your backstories and insight about the music industry are always a great read, thanks! But, sorry to find Rhodes mistreatment by Dunhill had such a profound effect. I also have “Mirror”, another Dunhill release by him. I might need to spin that tonight, it’s been neglected in the rack too long. You seem to have survived the “biz” with your sanity, cheers to that!

Steve, as you got me into Terry Allen (I have Lubbock, Moby), what do you think of Bloodlines?

Thunderclap Newman / Hollywood Dream
1970 Track

Produced by Pete Townshend, who also played bass as Bijou Drains (uncredited) as well as his nephew Josh Townshend on rhythm guitar and vocals.

@dayglow Hello Evan, some tape hiss is noticeable in between tracks, not so much when the music starts. The SQ greatly overshadows it. I can’t compare it to my noisy original.

The Wonderful Sounds of Female Vocals
2018 Analogue Productions

A “Wonderful” double LP with a great list of artists, amazing SQ

Miles Davis / Kind Of Blue
2020 Analogue Productions RE 45rpm, orig. 1959

Yes, it sounds fabulous

The Rolling Stones / Some Girls
1978 Rolling Stone Records

The front cover with the cutouts is cool, but the back cover…

Jethro Tull / War Child
1974 Chrysalis 

Showing the back cover, more fun than the front

Led Zepplin / S-T
2009 Atlantic RE, orig. 1969

Debut album remastered by Jimmy Page

Paul McCartney / McCartney
1970 Capitol

His debut album which he did in secret on home recording equipment. He performed the entire album by himself, with harmonies by Linda.

Oingo Boingo / Only A Lad
1981 A&M

I see they’re releasing Boingo, the band’s finale album finally on LP. Haven’t played this in a long while, it sounds fantastic. Great cover of The Kinks “You Really Got Me”.

Mary Chapin Carpenter / The Dirt And The Stars
2020 Lambent Light Records


Dire Straits / Brothers In Arms
2014 Mobile Fidelity 45rpm RE, orig. 1985

Nice SQ, slight groove noise, I can’t say it’s a big jump up in sound over my original pressing

@bdp24 I’m glad to see you’re alive and well and hitting the record store! My wife gave me a coffee cup that says “I have too many records—said no one ever”. I think you’re good.

Leon Russell / Will O’ The Wisp
1975 Shelter

@bdp24 It’s been a while but what’d think of this? BTW, I miss your posts here.

Jim Capaldi / Whale Meat Again
1974 Island

Traffic’s drummer goes solo, well done!

Hi Jim, it’s a Japanese import (the liner notes are in Japanese!), maybe they have better ink…😁
