vocal distortion on Jayhawk's Rainy Day Music
While I have not heard this album, the American Recordings pressings of Johnny Cash are superb on my four LP copies.I hope this is limited to this artist, I have long considered American Recordings a label to trust when purchasing new software.

The Walker motor controller is not just nice to have, it's a necessity. Having run it on three turntables now I am convinced that analog without it is not doing what it is supposed to.I bought my first Walker controller for a Basis Debut Gold Mk I...

Damned if I Do and Damed if I Don't

Tom Waits on Austin City Limits
If you buy "Nighthawks At The Diner," be prepared to laugh your head off. There is a tune titled: "Better off Without A Wife" that always cracks up any group of male visitors. It's not disrespectful of women, just a truthful look at the (supposedl...
