@6t5-gto,

While my BW is a 180gr, I believe I bought around 15 years ago. My memory is that it was pressed by Scorpio. There is no inner jacket. 
Brandi Carlile "by the way, I forgive you". There was some discussion over this lp over the past week. I decided to put it on for another listen after a nice system upgrade.

@boxer12,

I quit road bikes after an 11 year old boy driving a farm tractor cut in front of me. My head hit the front blade. I was riding a Kawasaki 500/3cylinder/2 stroke.

What was interesting about the Huskys was they came in a CR (close ratio), and a WR (wide ratio) transmission...(or gearing) depending on what kind of racing/riding you preferred.  Remember OSSA, MAACO, Penton, etc...?
Well, I find it interesting that several of us music guys also have motorcycle history.
The BC lp is compressed but not so much that I can't enjoy and make out subtle details.
Hi @big_greg,

I love JW. However, his label "Third Man Records" has not given us the best sound on vinyl. Very disappointing!

That is what keeps me from buying his stuff.
@big_greg,
I appreciated your post very much.
……………………..
AC/DC "High Voltage"   from the box   !!!!
@big_greg,

My MFSL Abandoned Lunchoenette is one of my favorite records. SQ=Awesome!

Bruce Springsteen "High Hopes"
Ric Ocasek  "This Side Of Paradise"  a very good (solo) lp by Ric, even though most of The Cars bandmembers helped out. It was on my tt quite a bit in the late 80s.
@uberwaltz,

I should have mentioned it earlier when I inquired about your TT motor power supply....it may be something you'd want to check on once in a while...Kevin @ K&K Audio has had a motor controller under development for a few years now, his personal TT is a Nottingham.
@big_greg,

My personal experience on Discogs has sadly been mostly negative. I've had better luck on ebay.
Janis Joplin "I Got Dem Ol’ Kozmic Blues Again Mama!". My copy is Speakers Corner but as good as it sounds, my suspicion is most copies will sound VG. I give the SP a solid 10!

If you have a home alarm w/ glass breakage sensors, turn them off.
Uber

Soldering tiny phono wires is a skill my friend.

Another aspect is, as you are figuring out, more solder has a negative effect on SQ.
"Reunions" is cleaned and flat,

First impression... this maybe a great record for a (hi-fi) dbl record remater? Lots of songs on one disc?
Carly Simon "No Secrets" WLP

Fun fact... she and James once lived in the same murder house as Nichole and "The Juice".

Well, maybe not so fun.
@boxer12,

No brother, Jason Isbell.

As you know, Jason Molina passed a few years ago.
