How's that Marshall Tucker pressing?

@slaw 

The pressing is very quiet but it’s yellow, impossible to see the track breaks. The SQ is much better than my OP, really enjoyable…as is the music. It’s worth owning.

You’ve been playing a lot of records, your amps must be sounding their best by now. Life is good Brother!

+1 @slaw 

SQ is, IMO subjective based on our audio friend’s personal systems There is a common tie...passion for music 

IMO, content is the main factor

@slaw, good to see you playing this. It’s one of my favorite records, fun music and great SQ too. Under the radar and not in a lot of LP collections.

@slaw You’re running in your new amps with some great LPs Steve. Thanks for the tip on where to find that Rodney Crowell record @bdp24 Eric suggested, have it on its way. Streamed it, loved it!

Hi @loomisjohnson, thanks for your post…

@bslon I'm with you on all except for strange days, which marked a notable decline from the flawed genius that came befre. Quicksilver otoh is a candidate for the goat.

While their debut album “The Doors” is terrific, to me “Strange Days” is at least its equal in content and on my system better in sound quality. Their first four albums are all fantastic but Strange Days more than the others likely earned them the title the "Kings of Acid Rock”.

No argument on the Quicksilver LP, great music and more of the “psychedelic rock” genre of the ‘60’s that I really “dig”.  :-)))
