I have a 2LP version from rhino that's nice and a German version called Rock the Nation that has a different cover. I just ordered the Friday Music yellow vinyl version. That's one of my favorite records.

Steve, I take it you like that version of Montrose? Friday music just came out with a colored reissue of that and I was a little hesitant to buy it because of some negative comments I've read about the mastering on some of the Friday music releases.

Nancy Wilson - You And Me, Qobuz Hi-Res.  I'm only a couple of songs in, but really like this.  NPR did a nice interview with her yesterday about this record.

Good headphone amplifier
I use a Simaudio 430HA with my LCD-4.  Plenty of power and very detailed and transparent.  I've owned many headphone amps and the 430HA is the best so far.  My Sony TA-ZH1ES is a close second.  What's your budget?

Thank you for mentioning earpads.  I've bought many used headphones and that's always the first thing I do is replace the earpads.  I've also done that with most of the headphones I've bought new and it has resulted in better comfort in every case...

Steve, I didn't know that about Lucinda.  I saw her at an outdoor show at the zoon in Seattle about 2 years ago.  She put on a really good show and had a lot of interesting stories to tell.  I'm glad she's OK.

Good stuff Mapman!  I have fond memories of riding in one of my best friend's car listening to the Cars in high school.
