Harry Partch “And on the Seventh Day, Pearls Fell in Petaluma”
|
@tomic601 ,
The previews of "Judy" caught my attention for sure. |
Don Henley "The End of the Innocence" |
"Building the Perfect Beast"
Neither of these had ever been US cleaned. I steamed them both, then listened. Will US clean later. "BTPB" is way more open at the same volume level now. It is recorded hotter as well. |
Fleet Foxes "Helplessness Blues" |
(I've US cleaned the Don Henley lps now. Upon closer inspection "TEOTI" lp/1989, surprisingly has no bar code, and happens to have 1A at the beginning of it's index #s in the dead wax on each side. "BTPB" lp/1984, my copy is a RCA Music Club pressing, with bard code. Given these findings, this comparison isn't a great one.) |
With my copies.........
"BTPB", (the RCA Music Club copy)... it was night and day from side one to side two. Side two was less hot or in your face and actually enjoyable. Side one was way too hot.
"TEOTI" the (1A, no bar code copy)...has an analog type warmth that is most receptive and has easy to follow bass lines. It is consistent from one side to the other. Certainly more enjoyable and a keeper.
Both lps have some really good songs but my favorite, on a purely song biased consideration would be "TEOTI".
I have a record show in a couple of weeks. ????? |
Air to Virginland

Dang auto correct it’s Airto |

Been working in Dallas this week and on my way home right now.
Found a fantastic store North Dallas area called Joseys records. Huge store, great selection and very fair prices, actually found a few MoFi records too so a new hoard on its way home in my suitcase to clean and play.
But for now more streaming! |
@j_damon,
Don't worry about. Glad you posted that lp as I need to hear it again soon. |
Warren Zevon excitable boy |
I only recently found it on vinyl |
It is one his better ones |
@uberwaltz,
I don't remember the store's name but that one sounds like it may be the one I was in 20 some years ago. I still remember the lps I bought there:
Seal "S/T"
The Blue Nile "Hats"
Robin Trower "Live" |
|
AC/DC "Powerage" from last week, except it has now been US cleaned. Much better, but still doesn’t match the copy from my "Collection" box, which I failed to mention was mastered by George Marino from the original two-track masters. This one lacks the midrange body & ultimate bass punch/energy/"the balls" as Bon Scott might say |
Just got back from a short business trip to Portland where I picked up a new (to me) Technics SL 1200 MK2.
India Arie - Acoustic Soul is on it now |
Savoy Brown Street Corner Talking op parrot
|
Took a break to clean the three belts on my Classic 3. It DO make a difference.
................................
@big_greg,
It's funny that I was thinking about that lp this week. Hope the TT works out well. |
Grace Slick and Paul Katner
baron von tollbooth and the Chrome Nun |
|
Before finishing "Crack Up", feeling the need to rock a little more...thought of this one throughout the week.
Eric Clapton "461 Ocean BLVD" SV. This copy sounds a little bloated/murky but not looking for perfection at the moment. My only copy, will give a good cleaning later. |
I am stuck in the West Coast groove ...
Karla Bonoff - Wild Heart of the Young OP, nice SQ but IMO not equal to her first two efforts..
Uber I get the streaming avoid running the record cleaning machine thing.... |
Funny thing
They don't take kindly to running record cleaners on the plane.
😁😁
Just landed in Jax, home sweet home soon# |
"461" is such a classic, and it really sounds good. The more the volume is turned up, the better. |
Thanks to @j_damon, up next is my Sony/Legacy copy of "Rhythm of the Saints", freshly cleaned of coarse |
Charles LLoyd New Quartet - Passin’ Thru.....oh man, how I dig this....
Blue Note |
The P Simon lp is sounding VERY good. I really can't think of a Sony/Legacy lp I own that doesn't sound great? |
@j_damon - Funny, Savoy Brown - "Street Corner Talking" is sitting in my "to play" pile. I'll get to it shortly....
|
Elvis Costello - "All This Useless Beauty"
One of his best, IMHO. |
Broadcast “The Noise Made By People”
|
Ex Hex "Rips" ...their 1st record |
Ex Hex is rockin'...like an all grown up...The Donnas? |
The Jayhawks "Rainy Day Music"
the gem of the day! |
