| Band/artist documentaries. @yogiboy: I got myself two copies of the Songs Our Daddy Taught Us LP back in the 80’s, but they were reissues on Ace Records (a great UK label) and Rhino. The original is hard to find in good condition, and for years has been in my "Look for" ... | |

| Band/artist documentaries. @yogiboy: Thanks for the Everly Brothers tip. I love them, and was unaware of the documentary. Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe are big fans of theirs, and they included a 7" EP in the first pressing of the Rockpile album, in which they perform four ... | |
| Band/artist documentaries. In the 90’s I lived in Burbank, and one restaurant in the neighborhood that I occasionally ate at was located on the ground floor of the building in which was the KROQ studio (somewhere near the top floor). One Sunday night I was having a late ... | |
| Grade Master3 cartridge--Moving Iron Design I forgot to mention that the output voltage of Londons and Deccas is a very high 5mV! Schitt includes a 33dB gain setting specifically for Londons/Deccas on their Mani phono stage, 40dB on the Skoll and Stjama. Some London/Decca enthusia... | |
