12” vs. 9” too…?
@spiritofradio I know there are differences but I move things around a bit and am used to the differences. The cartridge difference surpasses the arm length and the phono stage. Thanks.

@td_dayton +1 Money Chica You might enjoy this Money Chica - Artist of the Month Oct21 |
Hello Uber ! Miss him. Congrats on the TT. The Band - Cahoots ( 50 th )…eying my other pressing as surplus…. Man @bdp24 I am really hoping Rock of Ages gets this treatment….. Tim and Brian, i also have a Decca on my to do list…..eventually i am a microvolt robot in a gigavolt circuit |
@tomic601: Me too! Rock Of Ages is I believe my favorite live Rock ’n’ Roll album, along with their collaboration with Dylan on Before The Flood (I have a Capitol original, waiting for the MoFi repress). Until then, do you know about the expanded 4 CD/1 DVD issue of ROA, entitled Live At The Academy Of Music 1971? The Band played two nights, the expanded LATAOM containing both entire shows. Mixed by Bob Clearmountain, as have been all the 50th anniversary Band boxsets. |
Don’t know Jim, I haven’t heard the MoFi. In fact, I don’t think I knew about it! My attitude used to be that MoFi issues of many of their album choices were a waste of time and money. If a recording isn’t really, really good to begin with, why bother? That’s why I also never got their version of The Basement Tapes. Another reason is that Robertson re-recorded some of his guitar parts for that album’s original LP release in the mid-70’s. The Dylan Bootleg Series Volume 11 is the version of The Basement Tapes to have---Eric. |
@big_greg - Please tell Kevin @uberwaltz that Tom said "Hi!" and "Merry Christmas!" if he's not watching the thread. Also tell him that we miss him around here. |
@big_greg Greg, glad you’re in touch with Kevin. Please give him my regards too. - James |
Ordered the 2 x CD version, unopened for $20 delivered. They get $150+ for the box set….hopefully the CD rips will come close to what i could extract from DVDa And Eric you must have mentioned this before as the box set is in my Discogs “ wishlist “…. ha, memory is fleeting…. I am a Pirate Robot looking wistfully back at Fourty |
This is fascinating. Thanks for posting. |
@reubent Tom, I have the 2nd Stone Roses album on cassette. One of the relatively few new bands of that era that I had time to enjoy. I agree with you in that it’s my favorite of theirs. Thanks for the reminders about them recently. |
The Milk Carton Kids – Monterey (Anti- 2015) @slaw recommended this last week so I bought it. He's right. I’m gonna second that rec. |
Jim and Tim, I rarely recommend the Decca. It’s fussy about tonearms. I also think it works best on an idler but that could be my bias. It also works best into a good tube phono amp. My SG has a John Wright fitted Paratrace stylus and a Decapod enhanced body. It’s damn good. But, what do I know? I don’t have a good MC to compare it to. All I know is it makes exquisite music. |
The Milk Carton Kids were for me one of the highlights of the New Basement Tapes (along with Marcus Mumford). I do wish they were a little more like The Everly Brothers than Simon & Garfunkel, but then I’m more of a 50’s than a 60’s guy, and more of a Rocker than a Folkie. Of course, S & G modelled their harmonies on those of the Brothers (the higher part a third above the lower one), as did Lennon & McCartney. It was when they added George on a third part that they got REALLY good, like The Byrds. The harmonies Brian Wilson wrote for The Beach Boys were far above those of either group, very sophisticated. |
@spiritofradio - As always, You're Welcome. That's what this thread is all about. Sharing new vinyl recommendations and reminding about older stuff that's worth a re-listen. Happy Christmas Week! |
Dang guys, you're on it tonight... @big_greg - I love Nick Lowe - "The Rose of England". I saw his solo show a few years ago. A blazing 30 song solo set of 2 minute songs without a break. What a hoot! |
