Tom Petty "Highway Companion"....check out "Saving Grace"

Around one year since he past. Previously, when I thought about him, I felt very sad, now I feel him in his music and it makes me glad!
Smashing Pumpkins "Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness"... sides... "Midnight" & "Starlight".
Sugarloaf "S/T" …..check out "West of Tomorrow"

The record label is Liberty, I assume the original pressing. Interesting that on the label..."...visual sound". A good way to describe music if it’s worthy.

Tanita Tikaram "Closer to the People"  WOW
Stevie Nicks "Bella Donna"
just for the hell of it....

Sniff "n" the Tears "Fickle Heart"

"Driver’s Seat"... common’...

The Soft Boys "Underwater Moonlight"!!! 
The Police box came with an additional lp of B-sides and remixes called "Flexible Strategies".  Up next.
Bob Dylan "Freewheelin’" MFSL/45rpm/stereo. Sounds really good. My complaint is...I wish MFSL would issue originally recorded (in mono) pressings first. I guess this is a marketing/profit decision on their part. I’m listening to "Freewheelin’" from the Mono box set now...It sounds really good! Interestingly, the vinyl is dead quiet on the mono box set.

up next... Atlanta Rhythm Section "Champagne Jam" MFSL 

The Outlaws "Lady In Waiting"

David Bowie "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust" MFSL
I'm sure they sound great. Spending money on expensive cartridges that have an inherent issue doesn't sit well with me.
@spiritofradio,

James,

I'm glad you felt you could share with us. I enjoy hearing of others' journey in audio.
@bdp24, @6t5-gt0,

When I saw Son Volt earlier this year, (Shovels & Rope) was the headliner,  while I was watching/listening, I couldn't help thinking that SV should be the (headliner).. I was glad that S&R made a point of saying on 2 occasions that they were (glad/had much respect) for Son Volt.
Any of you guys own a Mint Tractor?
I decided to take some of my recent sales proceeds and buy one. I went to the site but have been unsuccessful in making contact? I'd appreciate any help.
@bdp24,

I read Fremer remarking on that Intervention release years ago. Frankly, I think my original pressing sounds great.
Haley Bonar "Big Star"
Bon Iver "S/T"
J J Cale "Grasshopper"

@6t5-gto,

Interesting. I'll try it next time.
Crooked Fingers "Breaks in the Armor".

Highly recommended! I had forgotten about this one until today. I’ve never seen it talked about here at all.


Rodney Crowell "Ain't Living Long Like This"  gold stamped/promo
Kathleen Edwards "Asking for Flowers".....her records don't have the best sonics but she's an excellent singer/songwriter.
Hello boxer12,

"Asking for Flowers" is one hell of a record too!

Up next....Lucinda Williams "Ghosts of Highway 20"
U2 "Pop"...… sides 1 & 2 are really good
Thompson Twins "Here’s to Future Days"....just wanted to here it again after 20 + years, production is very good, I always enjoyed this record.
Aldo Nova "Subject"

shwooooh………….(wiping sweat off of farhead..)………….
Remember @6t5-gto.. the MFSL was from years ago and certainly not at 45 rpm.

Good luck and please report back here.
@tomic601 ,

Your lp is ready my friend. I'll send the shipping info later.
