@reubent given my small collection relative to most here, probaby 20 discs total... DEAD, 4-Way street, Tedeschi Trucks, etc...I need to slowly go back thru all 8 pages and put together a list....

having said that I have a hot date that day with  work on boat, which makes a vinyl habit look like childs play $ ( well at least my habit )... so who knows, I may not go at all....
 @bdp24 turned me on to this...

Desert Rose Band

Running

 @reubent While waiting in RSD lines I found a sealed Japanese copy of Willy - Stardust

fun, enjoy the music

Non-RSD Acquisitions...Only because Slaw admitted his


Willie Nelson - Stardust Mint Japanese pressing


Luther Dickinson and Sisters of the Strawberry Moon - Solstice 

  • Always a big fan of Amy Helm, that got my attention and the whole disc is riveting and supportive of other female singers of note and talent ( Birds of Chicago, Sharde Thomas, The Como Mamas
  • Pressing and SQ excellent 


Townes Van Zandt - Flyin’ Shoes


Sarah Bareilles - Amidst the Chaos


 @reubent I did for sure... probably blew thru the budget ....

when something like pressure washing needs doing, I suggest they move !

but enjoying vinyl today..

Gregg Allman - Laid Back - Analogue Productions
Walter Trout - Survivor Blues
Dead - Acoustic at the Warfield


@n80. dig RL he had a resurgance before he passed away and some of those releases have much better SQ and his unique take on life in Chicago....
and so we can help pay for Heart surgery...

RSD Stones Volume 2 on orange vinyl......so so sonics.....pressing good, so far ( this normally jinx the gig.. )
A RSD surprise- I let the guy behind the counter make one of my 8 picks at Lou’s in Encinitas- his choice was:

@bdp24 just kidding about a potential cull...
Ah so Uber :-)

I cut my teeth on the B2 program as an Industrial Engineer. Boeing designed and built several major structures and systems using advanced composites -  At that time biggest autoclaves on the planet... humbling but learned a ton- lots of stuff never done before... in my career I came back to lead the operational site where we built B2, F-22 wings/aft, 787 test articles and other spooky stuff - I was blessed indeed.
glad y’all enjoy airplanes!!!

by the way @noromance we ruined a lot of carpets dancing wildly to the B52’s.... spilling beer... in those crazy days...
Marc Ribot - The Prosthetic Cubans...dripping with sustain, bent notes and reverb..touch of overdrive...lovely sweet....and BIG
