Saw Courtney Barnett earlier (yesterday, now) so up now her EP/45rpm, from RSD "Everybody Hates You/Small Talk
You'll like this Fruit Bats lp if you're a fan of Hiss Golden Messenger.
@whostolethebatmobile,

Thanks for the info. I was wondering why I haven't heard of most of the labels you were posting. Did many of these bands ever release lps?


Tom Petty "Hypnotic Eye"  the Chris Bellman/dbl lp/mastered version/found at Insound @ 60% off.
Jackson Browne "Late For The Sky" a Carolina blue label...got to be a re-issue/sounds OK, the music makes up for the lacking SQ
So my last of the lps, in the female vocal category is, one of the greatest female voices ever......

Annie Lennox "Nostalgia" 
Dusty Springfield "Cameo" OP
………...……........
Yeah @uberwaltz, that was Cat Stevens "Buddha & the Chocolate Box", I loved it.                   
Blood, Sweat & Tears "Child is Father to the Man" Sundazed/stereo/SQ =EX
The Butterfield Blues Band "The Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw" (stereo)

This was a gift from a neighbor, although it looks very rough, it doesn't play that bad. What's obvious is what a great record this is, great sounding too.
Thanks for the post Tom. It's very gratifying knowing the MyMat has benefitted so many.
@bkeske,

I like to say, the music is becomes "free" with the MyMat and no clamp/weight.

I noticed the same with the Achromat as well. I believe a reviewer for TNT Audio wrote something similar?
My impressions so far: I'm listening in order of release......

"Armchair..." doesn’t hold up as well, additionally, the SQ is dark by comparison.

Up next will be "Noble Beast" going forward......
I never finished Richard Thompson "Electric" last weekend, I listened to sides 1 & 2 earlier. I've US cleaned all four sides and will start over. Several system iterations ago, I was really disappointed in this lp. While not perfect, It's way more enjoyable now.

I'm US cleaning all of my Andrew Bird lps and will be listening to them later.
"The Mysterious Production of Eggs"  (again)
"Armchair Apocrypha"
"Noble Beast"
"Break it for Yourself"
"Are You Serious"
