Neko Case "Hell-On"

First song in and it's clear this lp is recorded much better than I thought when I first bought it. Chalk it up to my decoupling wall mount and other items
Death Cab For Cutie "The Georgia E.P."
12"/one sided/5 song
original was TAS recommended
I believe this is the first re-issue
Proceeds go to a great cause, IMO.
The Stable 33.33 spindle hole reamer has really come in handy since I bought it.
Ingenious/simple design. Those are the best.
I think you were fortunate to still be able to get those Eels lps at a great price Brian.

I ended up purchasing 5 lps while the sale was on.
Mary Gauthier "Mercy Now"
2005/ New West

..."fish swim
birds fly
Daddys yell
Mommas cry"...
Tim @boxer12, I assume and hope you have your B&Ws and Triton stack dialed in now?
I think the REM lp would be a great candidate for a re-master over 2 lps. Maybe @ 45rpm.
REM "Automatic For The People"
1st pressing
Not very analog sounding but some really good songs
Had a hankering to hear it again....

Actually sounding way better than I remembered. !!!
"The Blue EP" again after a slow steam, a longer time in the Vibrato, and a flattening.
The works.
My recent Popmarket haul:

Tori Amos "Under the Pink"
1/2 speed re-mastered on 2 lps @ Abbey Road

Garbage "No Gods No Masters"

The Black Keys "Delta Kream"

Steve Gunn "The Other You"

Jackson Browne "Standing in the Breach"
                            "Downhill From Everywhere"
On now...

John Mayall "Blues From Laurel Canyon"

I deep cleaned it. SQ is really good but my copy has lots of minor surface marks that can be heard but don't really interfere with enjoyment.
All this talk about Kottke is reminding me of Mark Kozelek.
Puttin’ on "Lost Verses, Live"
Will do Jim. I have the original German pressing and it sounds good but my copy has ticks/pops. Plus they squeezed all those songs on one lp.🤨
Tanita Tikaram "Closer To The People"

Recommended Highly on lp if you can find it!!!!
Ozark Mountain Daredevils "Don’t Look Down". Wow!!!

..."just give me a six pack
and a ’50 Mercury"...
@j_husker,

Since you recently posted for help regarding speaker placement.... and now, auditioning new to you speakers, is concerning to me.

Moving too fast bro


+1 Future Games
I tried to find a good sounding original and never did. Bought the remastered box sets and those sound great!!!
