I have to say that my favorite Dead album back then and still now is American Beauty. I'll have to dial that up next.

Harold Budd The Pavilion of Dreams on Editions EG.  Doesn’t get much more relaxing than this.
Savoy Brown - Greatest Hits Live In Concert.  I just picked up another copy of this recently, forgetting that I already owned it.  This copy sounds a lot better, and I only paid about half as much for it.
I was just talking about Savoy with my music friend yesterday Greg.

We're going to a record show next Sunday......I always look for Savoy
I would really like a NM copy of Billion Dollar Babies.  I saw Alice do that concert when the album first came out.  At the Swing Auditorium, in San Bernardino.  Center stage, second row.  WOW!  I recently got a very minty copy of Welcome To My Nightmare, MFSL.  My original copy is very good but the MFSL is excellent!

My system is down this weekend because I had to disassemble my equipment rack in order to move it 3 inches to the left in order to accommodate a new ampstand that will sit along side the equipment rack.  Of course, that means for the new amp, which I pick up tomorrow.  The ampstand arrived on Friday.  There is more to this venture than it sounds.  Carefully moving the electronics, all of the connections carefully placed back again, the hefty 6061 aluminum legs of the rack, etc.  And then, I'm out for bluefin fishing this week.  I'll be back to hi-fi next weekend.  Can't wait to break in the new amp and hear it go through the changes of SQ improvement after 24 hours and then over the first 72 to 96 hours.
Crosby, Stills & Nash 1969 self titled album.  Harmonies don't get much better than on Helplessly Hoping. Atlantic repress from 1972 and the SQ is amazing. 
Steve, is that UD1S for CS&N a preorder being taken at Music Direct?  Or from some other vinyl retailer?  I would like to get it on order.
Please advise.  Thank you.
Sounds exciting Mammothguy. All the best with the new equipment & fishing!

Musikanto / Sky of dresses (CD)
Cat Stevens - Buddha and the Chocolate Box. That Who record I just listened to was really quiet and sounded decent but it was really flat compared to this really dynamic recording. 
Good to know Greg. I had that Who album back in the day & enjoyed it. Looked for it a few times over the years & unfortunately don't know where it's at. A lost casualty.

@big_greg,

+1 Savoy Brown

Somewhere in the mysterious shed lives a copy of "Blue Matter" waiting for me to dig it out.

A side, track 1 fittingly is "Train to Nowhere".

Both Zigzag magazine and Rolling Stone magazine considered "Train to Nowhere" as the quintessential Savoy Brown song.

Two I picked up yesterday at my local used records spot: Eagles "Hotel California" and "The Individualism of Gil Evans."
@mammothguy54 Joel, try calling Music Direct about CSN 1 Step.  I ordered mine back in March.
I picked up a sealed copy of Who's Next on MOV to replace my early Decca pressing that had seen better days. The SQ on the MOV copy is very good with no complaints but I noticed the dead wax was about twice as wide as on the Decca copy which I think would mean the grooves are cut narrower on the MOV copy. 
Would that mean the MOV pressing is from a digital master or would the groove width have nothing to do with that? 
@big_greg  Thank you for the information.  I placed my order with Music Direct.  They could not offer an ETA.  I hope that it's before the end of this year.  Thanks again.

Arrived today:

Neil Young "Young Shakespeare"

Amy Helm "What the Flood Leaves Behind"

Gov't Mule "Live at The Capitol Theatre" Vol. 1
