spirit,

Wow, brother....

I've often wondered how he remembers his loong lyrics....

Glad to know you're a fan.
@mammothguy54,

Thanks;

Did not know about Aqualung  I don't like Chad based upon my conversation with him years ago.

May order it but focusing on SRV "Couldn't Stand The Weather"
I have a new, in box, double boxed, Bob Dylan "The Original Mono Recordings".

 I already have a copy...that I love, BTW. 

This one is sealed, I have $180.00 in it. Not looking to make a profit.
Anyone interested?
BTW .. y’all is a southern thing

Must have picked that up during your college days ?
@tomic601 ,

I get it bro. Mom had a hair-line fracture last weekend...I stayed with her all this week
"Get drunk or stoned"   Either way, is "highly" dependant on what part of the country one lives in.
Neil Young "White Line"
LInk Wray "Batman Theme"
REM "How the West Was Won and Where it Got Us"
Warren Zevon "Reconsider Me"
Joy Division "Shadowplay"
Little Feat "Cajun Girl"
Rhiannon Giddens "Tomorrow Is My Turn". What A GREAT VOICE! Although most of T Bone Burnett produced lps aren't the best SQ, try to overlook it here!!


Beginning to listen through my Flaming Lips "Heady Nuggs" (1994-1997) box set for the second time. Some good stuff!
That was interrupted by ...

Robert Plant "Principle of Moments"
Pinback "Autumn of the Seraphs"

..."until the needle hits the groove"...


David Lindley "Very Greasy"
Ray LaMontagne "Ouroboros"
Angus & Julia Stone "Down The Way"
Joan Armatrading "Show Some Emotion"
Vic Chesnutt "West of Rome"
@bob540,

Love your seemingly strong sense of buying vinyl. Don't feel bad for your current TT. It's very nice!
OK guys, I did all of the pre-flight checks...

US cleaning
optimized anti-skate @SRA yesterday
Cleaned stylus
optimized speed with my Time-Line

just noticed lp (one) is ever-so-slightly dished though...to be remedied later...

I hope my excitement for "Fragile" is met.
+1 on the MFSL/JA mono!!

The Notting Hillbillies  "Missing..Presumed Having a Good Time"!!!!
I felt like some Philly Soul...

The Delfonics  "S/T"

then I really wanted to get funky...

The Meters  "Struttin"

Oh yeah!!!
BTW, "Struttin" has what may be the best cover of "Wichita Lineman"?

Sonics..Excellent!!
4 Non Blondes "Bigger, Better, Faster, More!" MOV

There is 1 requirement for listening to this lp....,Turn It Up!
80 here, glad to be quarentined today.

Took a brief Food Lion run...they now have Plexiglas guards between the customer/employee. Was sweating beads before I returned. 80 degrees, feel sorry for Uber.
today so far...

Dire Straits "Making Money" /box set
Roger Waters "Radio KAOS" /UK import
M Ward "Amnesia" /45rpm
The Doors "Absolutely Live!" /B Botick re-master/Rhino
The Doors "Strange Days" /DCC
The Doors "S/T" /DCC...(clearly superior to Strange Days)
Dillard Hartford Dillard "S/T"

@reubent, I have "Cheap Thrills" you mentioned above. Have you heard the (Bear’s Sonic Journals Presents.. Big Brother & the HC / Live at the Carousel Ballroom" 1968)...remastered 2012/ Sony/Legacy.

I find it to be very good for what it is. The problem is/was the mic situation. The vocals and drums are in the left channel. Otherwise, pretty awesome document! It’s one of those records that upon your first listen, you wonder why you just bought it. Then as the lp moves on, you begin to be drawn in. I think one may have to be a big fan to appreciate it. It's mandatory to play this lp loud!!!

Who knew the Hell’s Angels were audiophiles?

Happy Listening!
@reubent, My mission was to inform myself and others. I ended up listening to the complete side one of my original "Cheap Thrills". Much better, no comparison, IMO.

Happy Listening!
I decided to put on my MFSL 45 rpm "Cheap Thrills" to compare to the above mention lp.

My memory was correct....this time. While the MFSL 45rpm (stereo)... why they did not do a mono????/I assume this lp came out as a mono?) has a more correct instrument placement, it isn’t presented as originally recorded. The soundstage is constricted... for a stereo lp. It doesn’t have the boogie factor of the above mentioned lp.

I will put on my original copy of Cheap Thrills (stereo) in a little while to again check. Knowing what I now know, I’d buy the Carousel Ballroom version and save the money. That’s just me.
