Finally.... took me a bit.. A Trusting Soul - Record Review - Volume I:
This LP ( Coral CRL 57475 ) should be saved for a darkened room, candles, sound level on medium with a great cocktail in hand. Drag the loveseat and your better half into the “sweet spot”. Make her favorite drink, does she have pearls ? Recorded over Mardi Gras 1964/1965 it has a hip but very laid back feel. Bandleader Godfrey Hirsch ( vibes ) with NOLA standards a nod to Brazil, some swing and blues in the mix. Sonics are excellent with quiet room ambience and separation without hyper sterility so often found in more modern multi-tracking efforts. I came away thinking the Lyra was a bit too analytical for this recording- it is probably better left to something more dynamic like the Decca of @noromance who recommend this fine disc. Enjoyable none the less and a “ keeper”. |
I am quoting you Steve, at 59 I have the bladder of a 62 year old !!!!

I run a 2 micron pre filter on my Diesels and an on engine 2 as well and have a 10 micron German SEPAR filter on the fuel polisher, thinking that Rube Goldberg claptrap would be perfect for US record cleaning....
knowing your bin diving escapades Uber you might find an enzyme prewash on a vac system helpful- I like the Nitty Gritty myself.... |
@slaw I went down the SE rabbit hole pretty heavy with CD ripped to server - Dig him.... |
Pay to much attention to the 5% increase in fluidity of the Stratocaster and completely miss how 45 rpm transforms the drums.... this pressing is a beast.... |
Uber - my Separ comes from a Florida company - Reverso- maybe call them for filter housing and a few filters... |
@slaw good to know, unfortunately the Nitty Enzyme does require refrigeration- never mixed it up with the half n half but.... |
