@geof3 - Thanks for your comment. I think it's really good, especially for a 1971 rock album. Apparently the 2012 MOVLP664 is based on a 1995 Jon Astley remix from the original 16 multi track tapes. From the reviews I've read, many folks think it's the best available. I've not heard a good copy of an OP, so can't comment on that. But I do have two different CD versions, and the 2012 MOVLP664 is superior to both of them. There may be better, I don't know. But I do know the 2012 MOVLP664 I have is very satisfying to me. And it's one of my all time favorite albums, so I'm really happy to have it.

A rare lunchtime LP listen for me. Just received in the mail from a discogs seller..... RUSH - "All the World's a Stage" 2015 Rush Re-Master. One of the better Discogs experience I've had. Perfectly graded, well packaged, arrived early. Not a value price, but worth it to get a great copy. Rush Live on vinyl, as it was meant to be............. |
@mammothguy54 - Hey Joel. Congrats on the new TT. I hope it bring you much joy! |
@spiritofradio - James, +1 on Pat Metheny - "American Garage". A true classic... |
@seekerbob - I just played Traffic - "The low spark of high heeled boys" earlier this evening myself.... Now Playing: Emmylou Harris - "Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town" |
@loomisjohnson - I really like Frontier Folk Nebraska. I was in the room at Southgate House the night they recorded their live album. Good stuff. Another local band that sometimes sounds similar is 500 Miles to Memphis. If you're interested, try the album - "Blessed be the Damned". I've listened to it multiple times this past week and really like it. 500 Miles to Memphis self-identifies as the genre ' Americana Punk Rock. After multiple listens, I agree. Great stuff... |
@slaw and All, Fun stuff at lunch today. Was listening to Rush - "A Farewell to Kings", an album I've owned since it was released in 1977, and listened to hundreds of times. I heard something in the mix I never noticed before. An additional side/under tone in the orchestra bells at the beginning of "Cygnus X-1". Don't know if its the MyMat, or just a heightened awareness for some reason, but I never noticed this side/under tone before. Oh, and I've been noticing better bass definition lately (since adding the MyMat). Bass lines are much easier to follow and bass tone delineation is better too.... I've really enjoyed listening to my LPs lately. MyMat was a recent addition and it's staying..... Enjoy! |
Greg, Good Luck with that one! I did similar a while back, but I didn't catalog them in Discogs :~( Ended up culling hundreds of LPs due to the effort. Got my collection down to a reasonable size that fit into one IKEA Kallax 4X2 cubbie rack, about 800 records. Unfortunately, or, fortunately, depending on how you look at it, the collection grew again, to about 1000 LPs, and no longer fits in my record rack. |
@slaw -
Tom, you were a bad influence on Jim. I hope I had nothing to do with that! Unfortunately, I've been there. As my wife says, "He's wrecked at least one of everything". She calls me her "Scratch and dent model". I've been in road and MTB bike crashes, car crashes, motorcycle crashes, skiing crashes and even a plane crash. I think I'm getting pretty close to my allotment. |
@slaw - I streamed the Mathus/Bird album last night. It didn't do much for me. There were 2/3 of the 13 tracks that I thought were OK, but overall, not my favorite style. As you know, I really like Jimbo Mathus. However, I don't like everything, or even most, of his individual songs. I don't even like many of his albums that much. However! The songs that I do like, I like a lot! My favorite Jimbo Mathus albums are: Jimbo Mathus and the Tri-State Coalition - "White Buffalo" Jimbo Mathus and the Tri-State Coalition - "Dark Night of the Soul" And two great songs, on an LP called "Incinerator", are: "I Really Hurt Someone" and "Been Unraveling" |
@spiritofradio - What does that hold? About 2000-2500 LPs? Are you going to fill it up? Wonder what the total weight would be? I use the Ikea Kallax too, but only a 4Wx2H version. Works nicely for me. |
