In part of the show, there is a camera on the QRP employee actually running the manual LP pressing ma... | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. And then there's Jerry Lee Lewis, the last man standing! Drinks like a fish, smokes like a chimney, and he has outlived all his contemporaries. | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. @tgilb: Vertigo was a great label. Interesting artists, good sound. If you ever see a copy of Manfred Mann Chapter Three, buy it. Drummer MIke Hugg had by the time of this album moved to the front of the stage, playing piano and singing (as well a... | |

| The Placebo Effect The film on Gore Vidal (The United States Of Amnesia) is fantastic! I was a watcher of Firing Line, the PBS show hosted by William F. Buckley. Bill and Gore---a regular guest---really got into it, usually on an intellectual level, sometimes more p... | |
