So grateful we hung on to these old LP's through several moves and many years. There was a long period in the 90-2015 time period where they got no play at all. Making up for lost time now. |

I always had the sense that Richie Furay wanted to be as successful and as well known as Stills and Young from Buffalo Springfield. He was very good but never achieved the success of CSN or the even loftier achievements of Neil Young. Heck, I'd bet Loggins and Messina sold more records than Furay's Poco. Now that is a shame. |
@ spirit of radio
You are right about Legend, but by that time Richie Furay was gone. Maybe he was their problem🤔
|
Thanks to all who recommended Blue Rodeo. Somehow I completely missed this band. Streaming 5 days in July right now... wow.!
On that line about music we heard on our lousy car stereos.
Poco Good Feeling To Know on 8 track I stuck in the glove box of my 66 Olds 442. Thought that record would make them huge, but never happened. |

42 years into this, so we have both learned where the boundaries are, ( no Sly Stone), but I dont wander into her territory either. Fortunately I dont have to contend with any musical preferences she might have that I can't tolerate. She's just not that into it. Records dont raise an eyebrow... Now, expensive equipment that doesn't meet the decor standards...that's a different discusion.😉 |

Good discussion regarding the wife. She tolerates my hobby and often encourages/accompanies me to our LRS. She will look at vintage(read hippie) clothing, while I peruse records. Her ears perk up to Joni Mitchell, CSNY, or Neil Young, but her interests do not wander far from the stuff we both liked when we met in the 70's. She will watch TV if I wander off the reservation.(which is most of the time). My excitement over a bargain bin find, or sonic excellence is met with "meh". In light of that, tonight:

Original release. My copy might qualify as a white hot stamper.despite hundreds of plays. And yes, she is grooving to it.

Thanks everyone. Checked Vibrato and they have supply chain issues and dont know when they will be back. Have lots of dedicated microfiber cloths to dry records after Spin Clean, but looks like degritter is the way to go if I want a deeper clean. Appreciate everyone's input. |

Puffball. Don't have an US cleaner. Prices have put me off. Humminguru kickstarter product looks interesting, but not yet available at a much lower price point.
The SC-1 goes for $2k, so if considering that amount, thinking of going all the way to US cleaner. Recommendations for an US cleaner?
|
Thanks all. I have so many older records that could be more quiet. Less expensive to use electronics to eliminate clicks and pops than to go looking for cleaner copies. Always great advice here.

Puffball, interested in your experience with the SugarCube. Do you find it useful in general, or use it only for specific circumstances such as the one you mentioned? Thinking an US cleaner to remove pops might be money better spent for me. |
