+1 au_lait Teena Marie released 9 albums from 1979-90 all have strong musical and lyrical content. Which IMO gives Lady T the title of the queen of 1980’s R&B.
Following up on all of the Jayhawks postings. All of the albums of theirs that I have are from my CD buying days so I just had a look on Music Direct and Acoustic Sounds to see what was out there on vinyl. Everything they carry from Blue Earth up to Rainy Day Music are all awaiting repress so I guess I will have to wait. With that said I have always thought the CD's sounded good. Blue Earth especially sounds really fantastic on the CD release that I have but my curiosity is now up to check out some on vinyl.
@bkeske I have the Mingus Ah Um MOFI One-Step unopened. The one I was listening to was a RSD 60th anniversary release with 6 never released bonus tracks. That one sounds really good. I need to crack open the MOFI soon.
I found a new MOV 180 gram version pressed in 2010 for a decent amount, so jumped on it. Thanks for the impetus. Been thinking of getting this on vinyl for a while now.
Brian, the one-step is sold out. I can't recommend it wholeheartedly as I haven't listened to mine yet, but if it's in the same league as the other ones I own (and from what I've read about it, it is), then it's worth seeking out.
Brian, I looked for the best possible recording quality, short of the one-step (because it's no longer available) and found this to be very well reviewed and reasonably priced, considering the 45 rpm and other attributes. It's currently on backorder but that will change, eventually. I will be placing my order and be patient for the eventual good surprise of the package on its way. I hope this helps.
I haven't used a clamp since I got my double MyMat system. I'll have to try a clamp just to hear what the difference is. I typically don't use a clamp anyway, unless there is some serious warp to deal with. I will play an album with no clamp and then play it again with a clamp. An experiment, in a way.
