NeumoThorax is what I have

Yep, as I messaged you, had one of those. Not fun, but it was the chest tube, for me, that was the real pain in the butt.

Good to hear you are breaking out of jail.


Pierre Bartholomée conducts Schubert - Symphonie Nr.10 D Dur. Orchestre Philharmonique De Liège. Ricercar DMM 1984 Belgium pressing 
Brian, so far I am escaping the dread chest tube....

Liz Storey on the way, Japanese press in NM to add a bit of diversity to our communal listen ... fun
Jim,

Good to read your priorities are now in order.

Let's me know your thoughts process is well.
Jim,

you know, she covers Bill Evans on that record. Which is something. also, I recommend that you also consider the demonstrable healing properties of a Van Morrison record. Just a suggestion...


Brian, with the weather the way it is there why would you need any more dampening?


“Dang”

sounds like a band name Tim would like. Anybody heard from him lately?
James - I am boycotting Van, he is an anti-masker...

Did I ever mention, my 47 yo second cousin in Ohio, an anti masker, Covid denier, spent a month on the ventilator at OSU, she is now 6’ under. RIP, went down last week...

so , while I love his music.... not now...
However, taking healing playlist suggestions... hopefully with better grace from me. James it is appreciated 
Jim, glad you avoided the chest tube. No fun. But, I guess I had no choice.

And James, good point 😁
Jim,  Wasn’t aware.  Don’t believe what I read in the papers.  They’re just out to capture my dime….

Ok, try this (unless that crazy Dylan guy has set you on edge….)

Steady on 45 rpm, Steve turned me on to it....
Bach • Starker 
Suites For Unaccompanied Cello Complete
Analogue Productions, Mercury 2020/1963-1965

“Recorded in April 1963, September and December 1965 at Ballroom Studio A, Fine Recording Studios, New York.

These newly remastered Mercury Living Presence reissue LPs represent the state of the art of all-analog technology and production. Led by remastering supervisor Thomas Fine, son of high-fidelity recording pioneers C. Robert Fine and Wilma Cozart Fine of Fine Recording Inc. in New York City, these reissues were cut at 45 RPM directly from first-generation 3-track master tapes. A 3-2 channel mix was made directly to the cutting lathe, no "cutting master" tape stage, digital source or digital delay was used.

Thomas Fine made the 3-2 mixes with mastering engineer Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound's new facility in Nashville, Tennesee. Smith manually controlled groove margin and depth on his Neumann VMS-80 lathe, working with no preview signal and bypassing the lathe's margin-control computer. In doing so, he cut these sides the same way the original LP was cut by George Piros, who was Fine Recording Inc's VP and head of mastering. As with the original LP, no "sweetening" equalization or dynamic range control was used.”
The last one that came in the mail today. I’m very pleased to have gotten this, as it completes my Martinů symphony cycle by Václav Neumann. Really immaculate vinyl.

Václav Neumann conducts Martinů - Symphonies 3, 4, & 5. The Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. Supraphon 2LP gatefold set, 1982. Czechoslovakia pressing.

This is a fun band but I wish they recorded their stuff better

bkeske, 

I bought the 180g reissue of The Band a while back and it sounds incredible on my modest system.

Tonight is FZ-Overnight Sensation.
Spirit,
Doing well, thank you. My wife got her remaining stints removed this week so we've been busy with that but she is healing well and I now catch her smiling often. Good stuff!

Ash Ra Tempel / ST
This is an old stoner band (early 70's) 
My cousin came over for the weekend and brought me a couple of gifts.  These will be played tonight!

Alice Cooper   'Welcome To My Nightmare' MFSL and using JVC Super Vinyl, in NM condition.  Looks like it has never been played.  I also have an original I purchased when first released.  It will be fun to compare the SQ between the two discs.

Elvis Presley  'Elvis 24 Karat Hits'  Analog Productions/QRP 45 RPM 3 Disc set.  "RCA Living Stereo Miracle Surface"  This is a real treat and very welcomed to my vinyl collection.
Second spin for this....

Stokowski conducts Rhapsodies : Liszt - Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 In C-Sharp Minor, Enescu - Roumanian Rhapsody No.1 In A Op.11, Smetana - The Moldau & The Bartered Bride : Overture. RCA Victor Symphony Orchestra. RCA Victor Red Seal ‘Living Stereo’ reissue late 60’s. Originally 1961.
That’s exactly the kind of good taste cousin ya want hanging round.

I catch her smiling more
even as we travel
some hard rows and roads
those glaces
take me back
to when life with her
was just an unlimited
dance floor
