@bkeske Yeah, tonight’s album has a big in-your-face sound. I’ve been messing around swapping cartridges on system 2. The Decca Gold trounced the AT750SH. Apart from simply way better bass, the most interesting standout was vocal intelligibility.

@bslon I believe it's the original 1973 PP&F release and they changed it a year later. My copy vinyl is NM and unlike the hot-linked discogs image above, has a NM cover.

Hawkwind – Quark, Strangeness And Charm (Charisma 1977)
"Einstein was not a handsome fellow
Nobody ever called him Al
He had a long moustache to pull on, it was yellow
I don't believe he ever had a girl
One thing he missed out in his theory
Of time and space and relativity
Is something that makes it very clear
He was never gonna score like you and me"
