Awesome record, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good to hear Spencer! I don't think I've purchased anything defective from them. It's good to hear that they have good customer service when needed.
|
Thanks, @big_greg for the PlaidRoomRecords recommendation. My copy of this was defective and they replaced in like 4 days including shipping. Fantastic unusual album!
|
That is some serious Chopin @sbanks !
|
Steely Dan - Everything Must Go. AP, 45 RPM. Holy smokes, this is great!
|
Just arrived. It's a good one, AAA cut by Ryan K. Smith @ Sterling.
An easy to love, adopted hometown hero. Probably the next statue downtown after Stevie Ray & Willie.

Chopin and more Chopin today...

@noromance how's the SQ on First Aid Kit – The Big Black & The Blue (Wichita 2010), think it's worthwhile over the digital?
|
|
Garbage - S/T. One of my favorite albums. This is the first time I've heard it on vinyl. This is a 45 RPM two disc copy and sounds great so far.
|
Rolling Stones- Exile on Main Street
John Coltrane- Giant steps
|
Hey Steve, Jerry put out some great music. Glad you enjoyed it.
|
Moby - S/T. I'm questioning why I bought this. The sound quality is pretty good but it's very generic electronic music.
|

Brahms-Symphony No.2(Seraphim S-60083) Side 2 SQ Audiophile
Beatles-Sgt. Pepper’s(Capitol/rainbow/stereo/paper cutout SMAS 2653) Side 1 & 2
Hall & Oates- Live At The Apollo-Side 1
Outlaws-ST Side 2
McCoy Tyner-Atlantis Side 3
Toto-Past To Present 1977-1990 Side 2
Ratt-Out Of The Cellar Side 1
Tom Scott-Street Beat Side 1 SQ Audiophile
My wife wanted to hear Sgt. Pep. in entirety. Was disappointed in the SQ of Toto(77-90) since it was a 1991 release little effort was given on the vinyl side. Street Beat was the SQ champ with top level content. If you enjoy fusion jazz this is a must have.

Go for it, Steve. I'd retire tomorrow but property tax and health insurance prohibit that. Friends in Europe are retired already as they don't have those expenses :-(

Them CV.

Steve, try playing permanent hookie. In other words, retiring from the workforce. I was fortunate enough to be able to do that at 63.8 years of age (4 years ago). Life is too short; I went through several injuries and rehabs and work was just getting in the way of living. It was time for more skiing, hiking, fishing, and assembling the best high-fidelity system of my life.
That's my story and I am sticking to it!
|
I’m considering playing hookie from work tomorrow. I’m 63 . This is the effect music should have on us!
|
Hey Joel,
There's no one here that will doubt you on Basie's , Pablo releases.
Been listening to Cowboy Junkies a while. Have the op and "revisited". Enjoy both.

First Aid Kit – The Big Black & The Blue (Wichita 2010)

Some albums are just meant to be played loud. Some are meant to be played even louder😃 Unfortunately some recordings (poor SQ) require that you play them not so loud.
Count Basie - Basie Jam I have all 3 of the Basie Jam series. Haven't listened to this first one in a while. It's awesome!
Cowboy Junkies - The Trinity Session Got this two weeks ago, this is the second time to listen to it. Really a great sonic experience and really a cool band.
Steely Dan - Two Against Nature The new AP/QRP 45rpm issue. All of Steely Dan music ranges from very good to fabulous. This album is one of their better overall albums, musically, IMO. The sound quality of this issue, however, is absolutely over the top. It makes you grateful for having invested so much into an analog front end. This is a go-to album and issue for showing someone just what your system has to offer. Most highly recommended. Still available at Acoustic Sound website.
