Since many have been playing David Crosby... so why not join in. I knew of the album but was not searching for it. This summer it appeared at a garage sale with a M- cover and VG++ vinyl(scuffs on side 1) it appears to be an OP? The SQ was forward and somewhat aggressive but very enjoyable. "Breezin" was borderline when regarding Audiophile SQ not sure if OP. SQ champ was to close to call I would rate both I Robot/Aerial Boundries a 4.6.
Update; from the Dayglo reviews, yesterday I ordered the Yellowjackets album. Only $8.24 including shipping. It won't be just 1 day to receive it, but the price is more than fair. I look forward to it.
Also from Dayglow review, I ordered Paul Simon, One Trick Pony. That was about 12 days ago and it just arrived yesterday. Can't complain, it was a good deal and the vinyl quality is NM.
Funny about this record. I was in high school when it came out. My gf at the time used to listen to it nearly every night as we talked on the phone. Used to give her a hard time about it, I’ve never acknowledged it as a Floyd album. A year later Roger’s solo record “The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking” came out. Told ya Janelle, Final Cut is a Waters solo album.
Either way, with the lights off and only the glow of a single candle and a pair of blue meters in the room, it sounds awfully good to my ears. I hope you are doing well these days Janelle, wherever you are.
Good to hear your recovering well Jim. Bummer about your aunt, I'll pray for her.
Sump pump went out so I'm cleaning up some excessive water. Not a terrible situation (floor is slate & the water didn't migrate far), but a PITA nonetheless. We've had a lot of precipitation here the last couple weeks & currently are in the midst of a winter storm, so that doesn't help. About a dozen albums currently drying out that will not be collector items 🙄 but it could have been worse. Anyway, no issue with the electronics so listening while I work.
I really like this album but I don't love the way it's recorded. Would love for it to be a more hi-fi recording, vs. the low-fi way it's recorded. Wonder if a more polished recording style would have taken away from the overall feel of the album?
James, great story. Here's a good recent one too...
I ordered a new cartridge yesterday at 3am (couldn't sleep). It showed up yesterday (same day) at 6 pm! Turns out it was in the local Amazon stock. New Cartridge is Audio Technica AT-VM740ML. Breaking it in now....
That is so cool :-) James. I don’t think my concoction is doing much. My 86 Y/O Aunt in AZ tested positive today - prayers appreciated for her. Yesterday was her birthday. War Dept and her close… argh. please take care everyone.
