Let it soak for 20 sec and then do the up and down. I cleaned my Paratrace tip after it was mistraking...thought it was kaput. Right as rain.

The Bricasti might be for NEXT Xmas... just a little early is all!😇.

Noromance.
worth a shot, now to find some propanol!
Beans S/T. Promo copy.

Wonder how many got to hear of this group......
After reading the bio, I would have called it a day too!
The Beatles - Meet the Beatles. Capitol reissue 1966

Yes, the same album I had as a child 😉

Gotta say, after a couple good cleanings, it sounds pretty darn good too.
Power .... John Hall.

Think John was the only Rock Guitarist to have also served in Congress!!
Shame he is not there now though.
@uberwaltz Visited Yesterday and Today records for RSD.
Today went to Wolfson Records and just focused on the Jazz section.  Made it about half way through...
David Bromberg - Demon In Disguise (Columbia 1972 )

Great album. Bass is a little full.
Rick
i meant Yesterday and Today, Forever Young must be a record store i been too on my travels.
Has Ron tidied up at Wolfsons yet?

Went to Tiger yesterday, nowhere today.
Ya think? 😁 Playing ‘65, I decided to go backwards, and play them through. In order.

it’s always striking to me to listen to Meet the Beatles, then the White album, and realize it was only four years later.

Pretty incredible listening to the evolution, which happened at lightening speed.
The White album is truly a pinnicle of human endeavor.

Robin Williamson & His Merry Band ‎– A Glint At The Kindling (Awareness 1986 [1979])

The Beatles - Let it Be. Apple 1970

The last released, but not the last recorded.
@drrsutliff  +1  I'm curious regarding the sound quality on the Blue Note 1984 compilation.
@dayglow i just picked this album up at my local used record store.  This album is visually in very good shape and there was no surface noise on the first side of the double album (all I have listened to currently).  The dynamics were good but not quite at the level of quality current day pressings.  Overall a worthwhile listen that was very engaging so far.
The Innocent Age ..... Dan Fogelberg.

Near Mint +.
Looks and sounds like never played.
@bkeske I am envious of your Beatles collection.  I wish that I still had my original copies of Meet The Beatles, Beatles 65, etc.  They became thrashed as I was too young to understand how to take care of them.  I have replaced many with reissues, but I still need several others to be more complete.
And yes, the transformation from beginning to end was at light speed.  I remember it very well and reminisce still.  The Beatles truly achieve what is "classic" in music and bring with it a mentality and philosophy that has become part of life.

I wish some were in better condition. Actually, my Meet the Beatles plays and sounds pretty darn good for handling as a child. The ‘White’ and Abbey Road were given to me by my cousin right around 1970 or so. Unfortunately she just trashed them, and believe her needle may have been a nail 😁 But, still nice to have. I have a complete set on CD, but, ya know, still cant beat vinyl. Thus, I’ll probably replace a couple over time.

I don’t think there has ever been another band achieve what they did, especially over such a short time span. Although they had many influences, there is little doubt that they, themselves, both influenced and pushed music at the time in an incredible direction, and opened up new possibilities. They also just seemed to be a perfect band for times that were changing so drastically and quickly outside of music, but very rarely (over their complete work) brought any hint of politics into their music. I dare say, we have never seen a band push the boundaries they did in relation to other music at the time, before, or even after.....and even became literally ‘elevator music’ as well.

Anyway, it was fun to do that. Don’t think I ever have before.



I do similar when I buy box sets. Same when I got The Beatles mono box. I had similar thoughts.
You're a good group of guys.  James (tomic601) is only about 1 1/2 hour drive for me and he invited me over to take a listen and have a few sips.  I'll be sure to take him up on that fairly soon.

FYI, I have an original copy of Revolver that is in fairly good condition (VG+), original copy of Yellow Submarine (but the recording is not so good), original Srgt. Peppers (VG), Japanese pressing of Srgt. Peppers (Excellent), original copy of Magical Mystery Tour (VG+), MoFi of Magical Mystery Tour (Excellent), and MoFi White Album (Excellent).  Not bad, but I really want those early years albums, and preferably in Excellent condition.

Be safe and healthy.
I almost forgot... Abbey Road, original copy in NM/M- condition, MoFi Abbey Road (Excellent), and the latest released, Anniversary Edition of Abbey Road.  Yeah, I like that album!
