| Ringo Beaucoup of Blues Ringo Starr, a longtime lover of Country music (he sang Buck Owens’ "Act Naturally" on a Beatles album), went to Nashville to record his wonderful Beaucoup Of Blues album. He had pedal steel guitar master Pete Drake---who had already recorded with... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Right @rauliruegas. My point was that even if there were a "perfectly damped tonearm" (if such a thing is even possible), there will still be the cartridge/tonearm resonance that is produced by ALL cartridge/arm combinations. A poorly or non-dampe... | |
| Audio research ref 6SE vs world @redwoodaudio, isn’t it funny how Tim de Paravicini’s passing was marked with accolades from the entire hi-fi industry, yet U.S.A. audiophiles continue to ignore his excellent EAR-Yoshino pre-amps and power amps? No full page ads, no semi-annual M... | |
| Bobby Whitlock YouTube video interviews @onhwy61: Good points. Yes, a musician is called upon to provide whatever the music being made calls for. Very, very few musicians are proficient in all styles. Guys like Steve Gadd are thin on the ground. It pains me to hear Rock drummers trying ... | |
| The Vinyl Community's Mazzy Loves You! @seanchau: Yup, Michael (45 RPM Audiophile) is a fave of mine as well. He's a hardcore audiophile with a very nice Einstein system (from front to back). His LP focus is primarily on new audiophile reissue pressings, and he has reviewed LP's from M... | |
| Bobby Whitlock YouTube video interviews As I said, everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. The notion that one opinion may "carry more weight" than another is also an opinion, one that I have found to have merit.But beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder. There was a... | |
| Bobby Whitlock YouTube video interviews Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Here is that of Eric Clapton:"I was in absolute awe of these people (the three musicians who comprised The Dominos---Bobby Whitlock, Jim Gordon, and Carl Radle). And yet they made me feel on the same leve... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? How are you going to play your LP's on a digital disc player? | |
| Perfect Pop Songs What a thread! Some Power Pop, a particularly favorite genre of mine (and apparently a lot of others):"Cruel To Be Kind", Nick Lowe"Girls Talk", Dave Edmunds"Queen Of Hearts", Dave Edmunds (forget about Juice Newton’s pale imitation)"Teacher Teach... | |
| Phil Spector, dead For an example of the power Spector could create in the studio (especially at Gold Star), give a listen to Darlene Love's "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" on the A Christmas Gift For You album on Philles Records (PHLP 4005). The Wagner of Pop m... | |
| Phil Spector, dead Spector had been pulling guns on people for decades (he shot off a round in the studio while producing Lennon's Rock & Roll album, a real piece of trash), and locking people in his Castle, refusing to let them out (including The Ramones). A lo... | |
| Bruce Edgar I never saw Bruce without a big smile on his face. He was eccentric, the way many brilliant people are. He was close with Brooks Berdan and a lot of Brooks' customers, and would come in on Saturdays to keep us all abreast of the latest changes he ... | |
| Perfect Pop Songs On the flip side of the brilliant "Walk Away Renee" 45 is the also wonderful "Pretty Ballerina". Both are sterling examples of Baroque Pop, a sub-genre. ;-)We tend to take The Beatles for granted (I perhaps more than most); they had more excellent... | |
| Perfect Pop Songs ABBA made music considered to be Pop. Their records sold a lot, so were indeed popular. If they DIDN'T sell well, would they therefore not be considered Pop? Of course not. Yes, Pop is short for popular, but the use of the term Pop for a genre of ... | |
| Perfect Pop Songs @mitchagain: The Dwight Twilley Band! Their first album (Sincerely) is full of great Pop-Rock. It's like Elvis crossed with The Beatles. Bill Pitcock's flurry of guitar notes in the break midsong in "I'm On Fire" is astounding! Their second album ... |
