Marvin Gaye "What's Goin' On" MFSL UDOS 45rpm
I think the business term for this is "good business."The pre-orders sell out before they finish production, the quality is astounding, they keep trying to improve the process so the demand is high. This is just good business. I would much rather ...

@slaw Thanks, SirI am kinda drawn to things that have strong value, so this one checked all the right boxes. What do you spin all those TP & the HBs records on?

@slaw I bought an EAT C-Sharp and will be putting the cart that is typically factory fitted on it, an Ortofon Quintet Black. I got to hear one a while back at a local shop but the shop changed hands and they no longer stock the EAT gear so I was l... 
Marvin Gaye "What's Goin' On" MFSL UDOS 45rpm
@slaw Hey, I don't think this Marvin Gaye (which I already ordered a copy of from my favorite local store) will be different than the Simon and Garfunkel one step in that it will be two-sided, not one-sided. I have tried to find a good copy of thi...

@slaw That Aretha is very, very good. I really like that record. I am kinda curious if AP will put out a pressing in 200gram 33rpm at some point. If so I want to compare. For some silly reason I just bought a turntable from a guy on the forum? I a...

Analogue Productions Jazz, Blues and Classical 33RPM vs 45RPM advice needed!!!
I agree with most of the comments, I own about half of the Verve 45rpm reissues (there is not a 33rpm counterpart to these reissues) and can say that these are easily some of the finest pieces of vinyl on the planet. Stunningly great and worth eve...

@slaw Sorry, thought someone else was talking about the quality of How the West Was Won. Thanks for the heads up. I like your competition. Let's hear your results, but Filmore East is a pretty strong live album. Today:Bob Marley  - Survival from t...

@slaw I listened to Made in Japan a ton when I was younger, great record. My original copy got screwed up on a bad turntable and for some reason I have not picked up another copy

@reubent Thanks for the reminder on How the West Was Won, love that set and keep meaning to pick it up on Vinyl. Today:Bob Marley  - Rastaman Vibration, Kaya and Babylon by Bus. Box set is awesome. Two records have some noise in between tracks but...
