| Chicagoland Record Shops I'd avoid The Old School Records in Forest Park.I bought an LP online from them ,that had something dried on the surface resulting in more noise than signal.No satisfaction,just smartass attitude.Seems they believe their visual grading is infallib... | |
| How Many Turntables Have You Owned My first turntable had a crank to wind it up. | |
| Mono reissue of 'A Love Supreme'? Don't blame "that funny early two channel deal" It was 1964.That's the "genius" of Rudy Van Gelder.If you are unsuccessful in your search,I likely have an extra mono around somewhere. | |
| Picture discs - Collectors items? Musicslug I have that Motor Booty Affair PD I always thought it was George Clinton on the Waterskis.I have many PDs including FDR Fireside Chats on 10" and 2 gals getting it on which is a scratch and sniff PD on cardboard,but no I have never had t... | |
| Black Keys I would disagree somewhat with calling them"a bit of a one trick pony".I have six LPs by them on vinyl "The Big Come UP" (white vinyl),"Thickfreakness","The Rubber Factory",Magic Potion","Chulahoma" and "Attack & Release".The albums show a con... | |

| Recommendations on the music of Astor Piazzolla The LP titled "Sergio & Odair Assad" has 13 minute "Tango Suite" of Piazzolla.It's on the Nonesuch Digital Label unfortunately. | |
| Learned something about vinyl vs. digital recently Hate to disagree with Aball,but sounds like you need more records! | |
| How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks? Pre-recorded tapes also have better channel seperation than do LPs.I have a Laura Nyro with Labelle "Gonna take A Miracle" that is fantastic on tape,but there are so many quiet spots that it is difficult to locate it's equal on LP.I have several h... | |
| Mary Lou Williams First Lady of Jazz Ferrari you made me listen to MLW & Cecil Taylor Embraced on Pablo Live.She is as modern as tomorrow.Right in there trading body blows with CT.Thanks,Casey (unshaven,but not a maven). | |
| Tube lovers....CAT POWER.. Go see her live.. I saw her about two years ago in an old American Legion Hall.The room sucked.No seating.Two hours of standing,crowded,poor sound.But they wailed.Sadly I have never heard anything on her records that even approaches the talent she obviously has. | |
