Just read one of the many US cleaning threads. Suggest applying surfactant before US cleaning. Makes sense. Will try Soon.
Linda Thompson "Fashionably Late"
DBK Works/Rounder Records/2002
Freshly US cleaned
I recall @uberwaltz & @reubent discussing this on another thread after I recommended to Kevin. He said, "We’ll see".

Ha

Arrived today, 

Ike & Tina Turner "The Greatest Hits Of" 

Eve Records/mono

Kathleen Edwards "Total Freedom"
Been looking forward to this one all last year. I pre-ordered it, then it was backlogged, then cancelled. I forgot about it until recently. 
Jim,

I actually have scraps large enough to go under the VPI bricks to send now.

I used some to isolate the SOTA motor along with another damping material. It became a MyMat sandwich.
James,

I bought "Cuttin’ Grass" mainly on your suggestion.

"Big Lazy" was recommended by someone on the "Best music in 2020" thread even though it came out in 2019. That post, seems to have been deleted now. Was going to give credit.
I should mention, the Hurst motors have a noticeable cogging effect, this SOTA motor does not.
@spiritofradio,

James, your new genre..."newgrass" may be a thing buddy.
.

Starting later than usual as I recently finished the installation of the SOTA Eclipse package on my VPI. It wasn’t a drop in installation. Had to modify the motor top plate. In the end, I have the motor much better isolated from the plinth now.
These arrived today:

Big Lazy "Dear Trouble"
Kathleen Edwards "Total Freedom"
Lucero "When You Found Me"
Sturgill Simpson "Cuttin' Grass"
Peter Gabriel  "Growing Up Live" 1/2 speed/ German pressing 
Dire Straits "Communique" MFSL/45rpm

Frankly, this one came with many ticks. I'm dealing with them now.
James,

I meant the poster who mentioned Big Lazy ... His post was removed.

Keep us posted on the Black Sabbath.

Saw Sierra and hubby on the Covid Opry tv show.
Big Lazy "Dear Trouble" freshly US cleaned.

BTW, Big Lazy sounds great on my not yet broken in motor.
Dire Strates "Communique"
MFSL/45rpm
Just did a Deep Clean
Sounds great, just still has ticks.
Just arrived:

Prince "Sign "o" The Times" Super Deluxe box set.

13 lps/ DVD/120 page book

Cool!
