Robert Plant/Jimmy Page "No Quarter" or "Unleaded" op

Don’t buy the 20th Anniversary, SQ sucks.


Haven’t thought of the band Argent in years. Until a recent thread revived my consensness.

The Argent Anthology
Sounding great!
I'd like to send my Super Platter /bearing in for refurbishing, but having been a VPI  nonconformist, I have concerns.

Lucinda Williams "Ramblin' On My Mind"

2020/Smithsonian/Folkways Recording

2nd pressing, mine arrived with some tiny surface scratches on two tracks. here's hoping? 

Deep cleaned the Caroline Spence lp.

Sounds much quieter but not quiet enough to avoid returning.

They both have really nice SQ but don't achieve those heights that Moby Dick climbed.

Got in my Fleetwood Mac "Rumours" 45rpm this week. I now have both the 33 & 45 that were remastered and pressed at Pallas. My luck, there"ll be a one - step version out soon.
The differences I'm hearing on the 45 rpm are, a clearer presentation, snappier transients, fuller mids and bass. Not deeper bass but more full.
