I agree about that car. The 240 was a family favorite. We had 2. Both orange. The 280 was hot. Pioneer car stereo would have been hard to beat in that era (I just had kenwood and infinity speakers).
I think comparing early Journey to Secret Sisters is possibly apples and oranges. Unless of course you’re solely taking about vinyl and sound quality. Now, comparing the Secret Sisters to Steve Perry might be more valid since all three probably wear the same underwear and face makeup.

I have no comment due to not wanting to incriminate myself, or anyone I know....... ;~) |
I like Head East either way. |
LOL Reubent, I've been clean for over 30 years. Not worried. |
|
Yep, gave up on that form of entertainment when I got out of college and joined the real world. |
Pretty chill morning with Nick Lowe "Jesus of Cool" - XTC "Skylarking" and Big Star "Radio City." Nice trifecta especially Nick Lowe... "and so it goes, and so it goes, and so it goes, and so it goes, but where it's going no one knows" - 70's HS soundtrack! |
@bgross - 3 nice choices. "And So It Goes" is one of my all-time favorites. Classic Nick Lowe and pop music at it's finest..... |
@reubent - yeah, that is a fun album. Used to pump it hard with my HS buddies. One guys old man would let him take his mile long Caddy and "Jesus of Cool", Bowie "Young Americans "Stones "Some Girls" Elvis Costello "My Aim is True" Aerosmith "Rocks" Joe Jackson "Look Sharp" so much great stuff,... always takes me right back - makes me smile |
I’ve had this album on CD, but finally received the vinyl copy today, which I was looking forward to. Sounds wonderful. Vinyl is in immaculate shape. My goodness, the CD was one of my favorites, but amazing how vinyl brings this performance to life to me.

@boxer12 LOL Reubent, I've been clean for over 30 years. Not worried. congrats boxer, I’m on year #24. |
David Gilmour's "Live At Pompeii" Love me some pseudo (in a positive vein) Floyd. |
my profile picture is MIA, it’s a Govt Mule album cover of Mighty High, obviously I didn’t inhale.
My thoughts on the 240 and the 280 are mostly unprintable until I bought a 911. The 300 reminded me of HS GF that ten years after didn’t age well...perhaps they saw me in the same light...

the Voyager box set came with a TT mat, two layers: Felt with launch dates and orbital and interplanetary trajectory printed...base layer looks like white PVC.....
I will write a review when I can .....expect that just before the extraterrestrials land....I hope they like Chuck Berry and the Magic Flute.... |

Stravinsky conducts Stravinsky - Le Sacre Du Printemps / The Rite Of Spring. Columbia Symphony Orchestra. Columbia Masterworks 1961 |
Brian - Igor is ( of course ) on the Voyager discs... |
@tomic601
Really? I’m not familiar with the Voyager set.
This is a fantastic recording for 1961. And you cannot beat Stravinsky conducting his own work. |
Elvis - Elvis is Back - AP 45rpm 200g - stellar |
Roy Orbison - Crying - AP 45rpm 200g |
Sonny Rollins / Rollins in Holland (180g) |
Richard Thompson - Rumor and Sigh - Mofi
Junior Wells - Hoodoo Man Blues - AP 45rpm 200g - amazingly great |
Brian - Voyager it’s a collection of music, nature sound etc sent on gold LP discs into space on Votager one and two spacecraft....
circa 1977 so back then we had the global sense to include Igor, nowadays it would include a free coal sample, Ted Nugent, an NRA sticker and a free box of ammo... coupon |
All jabs aside, Voyager is quite introspective.... |
|
Streaming Sparklehorse Steve.... interesting for sure |
Ellingtonm/Hodges - Side by Side - AP 45rpm 200g |

Bruno Walter Conducting the

Columbia Masterworks MS 6078
From the Compilation Box of the Cycle in Stereo
This is a wonderfully romantic and dramatic old fashioned sounding film score style of a rendition.
Up next I’ll play the No.1 from the Cycle by the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Simon Rattle. I already know it pretty well but interested to make the comparison directly.

Welcome @arizonabob & @trentmemphis. I like the geography and second the excellent music choices. |
@tomic I had to read that twice. That *is* funny. |

Yep, did a Google search, and found it. Pretty cool. |
