@slaw  - Question for you: Can you clean your records and listen at the same time? I've heard that ultrasonic cleaners are very loud and cannot be used near the listening area due to excessive noise. Just curious, as I may investigate an ultrasonic cleaner, however it would need to be in/near my listening area. Not sure it would work for me.
BHT & The Monsters.  Bittersweet.  Yeah. Loved that record - one of the few from that time that I really could get into.  
@reubent,

Tom, It just happens that I own two CDs of BHT&TM. "Sister Sweetly" & "Beautiful World" which has the song Crazy Mary on it. Check it out man.

My Vibrato is Sooooo quiet. With all of my experience with US cleaners, the Vibrato really surprised me upon first turning it on. So quiet.... I wondered if it's actually working/working well enough to actually clean?

I've owned it for a short time but love it!
This is an excellent book

Hey Steve, thanks for the info on the Vibrato. Looks interesting. Also, I had never heard "Crazy Mary" by Big Head Todd. Good tune.

How about this one:  "Secret Mission" from the album - Riviera . A bit more of a rocker.

Tom,

It seems lately that you're fading away brother. You helped me revive this thread,

Steve
Good evening slaw, nice to listen to some vinyl this evening....I’m sure we all feel the same.

Hey @bkeske,  brother, I actually have many classical lps here, just don’t have an idea of their value.

Would you mind if I send you a few titles via PM?

@slaw if that was directed at me, sure, no problem.
While Colter is fantastic!, I meant to put on another...............

@slaw  - I have been fading from vinyl listening a bit. Busy with work, family life and cycling. Trying to ride 2000 miles this summer. Haven't done that in many years. Plus, I've already been through my entire collection over the winter during "the big cull". Got to get some new records......
@bkeske,

Here is just one...

Opening Night at the Met (LM 6171)
RCA Red Seal

Upon opening, there is a piece of the actual curtain (numbered).

Is this Desirable?

My feeling is this was never played.

Desirable? No, doesn’t look like it. Even in mint condition those are selling between $5-$10 for a 3 recorded set. Not rated highly either. But, that’s subjective, but could be it was a poor recording or pressing as much as anything else.

I’m not a huge opera fan, have some, and enjoy it....at times, but not something I have heard or have in my collection.

The problem with collections like that is that they are individual performances, and not the whole/complete opera. Most, as I, prefer the whole symphony, or opera, composition, etc. 
@slaw

In mint condition, maybe $15-$20.

highly rated though. That is a set I know would interest me.
