So long, Jessie
Wonderful songwriter with a wry way of looking at things.The first LP on Ampex is solid song after song.Have spent some time listening to you Jesse,and will keep on doing so. 
Glaring Omissions
Mitch! So you just sit around listening to Kind Of Blue all day? There are many fine recordings of Bird available get off your lazy butt and find some.Listen to Peggy's Blue Skylight by Mingus from his Tonight At Noon LP.I don't know this Pandora ... 
Lester Kong's Contemporary Record Label
The Black label is the only original pressing.All Stereo issues on Contemporary Label are black.They went out of business in mid 60s,were revived in 70s.Fantasy repressed many titles,but these should be readily apparent by OJC (Original Jazz Class... 
Once again, recuperating from surgery
Zavato I was tempted to say Get well soon,but wouldn't that defeat the purpose? You are the first person I am going to wish a slow lingering recuperation to.Enjoy the Music. 
Lp labels that are cool, nostalgic?
Steve if you think the Atco label looks good spinning check out the late 60s Vertigo (UK) pinwheel.There's an ESP disc of Charlie Parker airchecks that has a hand above the spindlehole an an egg below,It looks crazy going round.But for sheer crazi... 
Lp labels that are cool, nostalgic?
Not an LP label,but a 45 label Demon Records of the 50s-60s.Their motto "The Highest in Fi". 
best recorded 78rpm to look for, also cartridge...
I have a single ended Tube player which I purchased from an Audio Visual Dept. sale at the local Elementary School.I cannot record from it but when I put A Blind Boy Fuller 78 on it ,I'm in heaven.The brand is Newcomb. 
Dating an album
Most LPs from 1970 on will have the original year of release printed on either the Label or the Jacket.This of course does not indicate the copy you are looking at is from that year.It may be a re-issue.That determination is made by knowing the pr... 
Does Anybody Know This Tonearm?
A little touchy to set up?Come on it has VTA on the fly,that's half the battle.Ok you got me on that bucket of shot.Really the most negative thing I would point out is the tonearm cable which has a unique termination plug making life difficult whe... 
Does Anybody Know This Tonearm?
It's the Magnapan Unitrac.Ask the man who has one. 
Dissapointed with import LPs.....
If the country of the original recording was the quality determining factor why would japanese Beatle LPs command such high prices? My belief is that every country has/does make good and bad LPs often of the same title.There are many steps involve... 
Interesting read here
"if you're a label or artist,you have to give the customer what he wants." He lost me there I was laughing so hard I couldn't finish the article. 
I'm very, very lucky
Tony you're killing me here."hot stampers" almost seems like a nostalgic term.Haven't heard that for awhile. 
First tt: SP10/Black Widow/Mico Acoustics QDC-1e
Glad to hear you got more records.That one record thing was the saddest thing I ever heard. 
What's the deal with Microgrove LPs?
Microgroove is a term from the 50s.The first records after the 78 were 10" to fit the shelving which already existed for the 78.The 78 has a wider groove.The new groove was narrower therefore called microgroove.This is the same size groove used to...
