Is there a thing = (a perfect record?)
(I know bdp24 will not think so but....
Tom Petty :Southern Accents" is ONE HELL-UV-A record!
The re-master in my box set sounds so F'n' good!
|
Shelby Lynne & Allison Moorer "Not Dark Yet" |
Going back to a previous post... regarding "Is there such thing as a perfect album?"
When I wrote that I was listening to "Southern Accents" which brought that question to mind. To me, "SA" is a perfect album. I think it is my favorite Heartbreakers album as well.
It has everything.... first and foremost the albums’ title is the theme for the entire record that Tom so greatly expresses with his voice and his lyrics. I think this album set a very high bar for him going forward. An interesting tidbit is he brought in some brass and strings on an album entitled Southern Accents and it all works perfectly!
I replayed "Southern Accent"
Smashing Pumpkins "Machina/the machines of God". IMO, "Machina" is an overlooked record. And I'll go ahead a say it... I think it's every bit as good as "Siamese Dream". Especially from an artistic/technical perspective. It doesn't have the radio friendly and very memorable hits but a really great lp that no one talks about.

Hole "Live Through This" original/first pressing |
Next up...…….
I had to flatten it.....
the second lp from The Flaming Lips "Embyonic"
|
Steve Earle "The Low Highway" |
I thought Classic was (the first) to introduce what is now known as a non-
raised outer edge. Forgive me, as right now, I cannot think of the correct way of explaining this. |
@bdp24 ,
I wish I was a musician and one at your level just so I could converse on a similar playing field.
Having said that, talking bad about TP.......them's fightin’ words dude. |
Neil Young "Carnegie Hall"
|
This recording took place in a huge cave.
Mucho acoustics. |
Federale "The Blood Flowed Like Wine" |
@bdp24 ,.
Did you you install your newly refurbished VPI stuff? If so, any findings? |
Hi, @uberwaltz,
I don't have a definitive answer for you right now because all of the testing/try-outs I've done with one/two filters of different sizes and make-up. Add to that, my pre-steaming really helps prolong water/filter changes.
If I had to guess, and it's probably subjective, once every 6 months would be a good guess. That's cleaning an average of 60 records a month.
I think people who've never US cleaned before would be very surprised at how much junk comes off their "clean" lps.

@j_damon
Glad to hear it my friend! |
"Folk Singer" after it’s first Vibrato clean.
This has to be one of my favorite lps that for some reason, I rarely play.
@tomic601,
I assume the NG enzyme fluid isn't a concentrate? |
Steely Dan "Everything Must Go" original German pressing |
Warren Zevon "Sentimental Hygiene" ! |
Warren Zevon "Stand In The Fire" WLP |
Procol Harum "A Salty Dog" MFSL |
Cowboy Junkies "Whites Off Earth Now!!" MFSL |
"EMG" is a damn great sounding record.
The Doobie Brothers "What Were Once Vices are Now Habits"
|
@reubent,
The SQ is excellent. When I think of lps that bring all of the goodness of analog to the table (ha ha), this has to be one of them!
Happy Listening!
I almost forgot the reason I was going to post again... "How The West Was Won" . If any of you haven't heard this yet (on vinyl) do yourself a favor and buy it. So involving, SQ is excellent, vinyl is dead quiet.
|
Getting ready to put on lps 3 & 4 of "How The West Was Won" |
The Black Angels "Death Songs" !! |
The Beatles "Revolver" Mono box set |
Ryan Adams "Ashes & Fire"
|
Michael Jackson "Thriller"
The Jayhawks "Mockingbird Time"
Elephant Stone "S/T"
|
@spiritofradio,
You didn't ask me but I like a slightly damp cloth for that, wiping lightly. |
Steve Earle "Guy". Ordered many SE I didn't own yesterday. |
Pinback "Autumn of the Seraphs" |
@tomic601 ,
UNCG, my daughter and son-in-law graduated there..... Then after marriage and kids went ahead online to get their Masters.
BTW, I'll send your lp back tomorrow. Sorry for the delay. You should never have said..."no hurry" ha ha. |
Joel,
I don't know if the CD came out before the lp of Division Bell but I'm sure the original lp is on blue translucent vinyl. |
@tomic601
Separ? Nevermind, got it.
I use an enzyme premix to spread over lps prior to steam. Audio Intelligent (Down With Dirty Concentrate). It doesn't have a shelf life that I know of, doesn't need to be refrigerated, lasts forever. I've had my bottle for years and it's still over 2/3 full.
|
Aimee Mann "Mental Illness" |
CCR "Mardi Gras" (comparing my AcousTech and my promo copy) |
Suzanne Vega "S/T" Vivante/180gr |
The SQ on the Deep Purple lp above is remarkable. Much, much better than I expected.
If you can find a clean early pressing, you should get it!
|
@6t5-gto,
Hey dude!. I’m glad to have some company. I’m getting ready to play another, (gifted lp), (OP)... Allman Brothers "Beginnings"
Wondering now if there may be a contest between "Beginnings" & "At Fillmore East"? This is kind of what I like to do. It doesn’t always work out.
First, I’m going to replay Other Lives "Rituals".
BTW, that was me that posted "How The West Was Won".
peace

Greg Kihn Band "Kihntinued"
Interesting... the record label is Beserkely, distributed by Elektra/Asylum/Nonesuch. This lp is another of several hundred I was gifted a while back. SQ is very good, music is very enjoyable. (Would be great background music for an in-home party). Extremely enjoyable! |
B B King "In London" original pressing...alive and full of energy! Yeah!
@reubent,
BTW, Bettye LaVette’s "Muscle Sholes Sessions" is out now. I have it in my cart.
|
Hey @knollbrent ,
Holly Cole is a wonderful artist!
Thanks for contributing here!
|
Up next..
Spoon 'They Want My Soul"
|
Deep Purple "Made In Japan" /OP/another gifted lp that shows much cover wear but the vinyl is in very good shape! Thankfully I have the equipment to bring out the best that’s in those grooves. Lovin' it! |
The Guess Who "American Woman" Cisco music |
|
WOW! That was a great remembrance of my time in the early 60's |
Back to the second half of "Echo" |
