@bdp24 I enjoy your stories, thanks for sharing.

I much prefer that first record over their second, especially like how the cymbals come in at intervals on “Starry Eyes”. That really grabs me, you as a drummer maybe not so much. Excellent Power Pop for sure! Funny that you mentioned Moon Martin, I had that in last night’s queue but lost steam late.

A Drop In The Gray / Certain Sculptures
1985 Geffen

An outstanding record by a band you've never heard of…

@loomisjohnson 

for a man of your impeccable taste

Good one! Especially since I almost ran with The Fugs last night! 😁

@slaw Yes, I get it and am on the fence wondering if I want to pay for an overpriced (imo) tonearm swap or put it into a different player. Or (most likely) do nothing. But wait— upgrading equipment is so much fun! 😁 

Steve, had you considered the 10” gimbal fatboy with Nordost wiring? It’s $450 off now at Music Direct.

Man / Back Into The Future
1973 UA

Double LP of prog rock James, jam band with 4 songs on side 1, 2 on sides 2 & 3 snd 1 on side 4. I’m not a big fan of prog but it seems I have a few examples. Rock on!

Some great selections playing tonight! I’m liking your package drop @slaw!

Berlin / Count Three & Pray
1986 Geffen 

Alquin / The Mountain Queen
1973 Polydor

Not up to the caliber of Nobody (imo) in content or sonics. But I’ll keep it around, (for me at least) tastes and opinions change.

Alquin / Nobody Can Wait Forever
1975 RCA

Another fun one with headphones. Well recorded, high SQ and a great finish with “Revolution’s Eve” by these Dutch rockers.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience / Axis: Bold As Love
1967 Reprise

Speaking of ‘Trippy’…

Went with headphones, nice. Also went with a re-cue on “Bold As Love” with  maybe a little twist on the volume knob. 😎

Jimi Hendrix / Valleys Of Neptune 
2010 Legacy

Double album of songs mostly recorded in 1969, above average SQ. Trippy version of “Sunshine Of Your Love”.

X / Wild Gift
1981 Slash

Posted pic is of back cover. Thanks for mentioning John Doe on an earlier post Steve, had to dig this out and glad I did! Produced by Ray Manzarek.
