| Nicks or McVie..... By the way:There is a pic somewhere on the 'net of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham on stage at Mother Butler High School in San Jose, California, when the two were members of local group "Fritz". The pic was taken in 1967, I believe, and Stevi... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Speaking of The Cate Bothers: On one of Levon Helm’s post-The Band tours the brothers were the core of his band. Levon was at the time recovering from his throat cancer surgery (heavy smoker), so wasn’t singing. The Cate’s filled in, as did Levon’... | |
| Nicks or McVie..... Ha! I have for years associated Nicks' singing with not a billy goat, but rather sheep. Baaah.There is a female singer I was in a band with in the late-70's who now does a Stevie Nicks tribute act. Corporate-type gigs, which pay well. I've never u... | |
| My Apologies to Miller Carbon Wow, six posts removed (one from me). Wonder what I missed! | |
| New speakers dilemma for vinyls... Heeelp! :))) Vinyls? Um, they're called LP's. Or records. ANYTHING but vinyls, for gawd's sake. | |
| Current deals to good to pass up! Right here on Audiogon: a pair of GR Research NX Studio Monitors, asking price $1500. They will of course continue to be ignored. Pearls before swine (no offense intended ;-) . | |
| For ARC lovers, Problems? My sister's new boyfriend is getting rid of his 6-series BWM because of the cost of maintenance (I did the same with my 528e, for the same reason). I couldn't help but relate that to the cost of owning ARC electronics.ARC enthusiasts, please don't... | |
| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: Ha! Yeah, but The Attractions are on only a coupla songs, which I skip. ;-) Just kidding. I loved Costello’s debut (I got the UK Stiff Records import before it was released stateside), not knowing at the time the band was comprised of members of C... | |
| Great Recordings, Sonically Speaking - and Why. @tostadosunidos: Yes! That album sounds almost like a direct-to-disc, so alive and immediate. Produced by Richard Gottehrer, who didn’t make Blondie sound nearly as good.Gordon did the first version I ever heard of "My Gal Is Red Hot", a killer Ro... | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! Both I and Michael Fremer have compared our original UK Island Tea For The Tillermann LP’s with the Analogue Productions LP of same, as well as with U.S. A & M pressings (the Island is considerably better than the A & M, by the way). I had... | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! @benjie: You’re wasting your time. The Better Records groupies will never admit there is a single LP made by Classic Records, Analogue Productions, Speakers Corner, Intervention, or---God forbid!---Mobile Fidelity that is as good---let alone bette... | |
| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: @jaym759: "Lightweights"---that adjective better characterizes The Heartbreakers than did my use of "unsubstantial."Another band whose talents don’t rise to the level of the songwriting---imo---are The Attractions. The only Costello album I like e... | |
| Considering a POSSIBLE replacement for speakers. Opinions? @noble101: Tim, give Danny Richie---the designer of the OB Sub---a call at GR Research. He is a very nice guy, and will be happy to advise you on adding the sub to your system.Danny is one of the true experts in the world on the subject of OB spea... | |
| Showrooms in/near LA, looking for Tube Gear, Exotic 300B tubes in particular Speaking of Brooks Berdan LTD.: as @tomic601 stated above, they (they being Sheila Berdan and I believe her store manager) are moving from Monrovia (slightly west of Pasadena) to Washington State. Good news for Jim and I! We are both former BBL cu... |
