Eric Clapton Clapton
"I think they had chemical assistance on Layla. That would explain the faster and sloppier playing on that record."Forgive me, but that's one of the most ignorant statements I've ever read....EVER! 1st off, maybe Clapton's sober NOW (I have no way...

"Robert Palmer-(1974)Sneakin Sally through the Alley...with Little Feat as his backing band...this is a surprising, soulful, laid-back funk workout with great vocals"Own the album AND CD, I totally agree, it's a great record BUT....The back-up ban... 
The Hub: Just how bad is it in high end audio?
Interesting thread! The number of well-thought responses indicates true passion for our hobby. I'll chime in with a few thoughts.- I believe that there is NO short-term answer/fix to the dilemna the industry is currently facing. The combination of...

"Chaz: uh... Right. Thanks for the interesting comment. I'll mention it to Peter next time I see him!"Bill, I'd love to hear his response! You should chk out the documentary 'Cocaine Cowboys', a fascinating tale that not only sheds a glaring light...

"the megabuck systems sold by Andy Singer reflected not just the extremes and excesses of the high end, but of Wall Street itself."Much like Peter McGrath's Sound Components store in S. Fl. experienced tremendous growth & success during the 'C... 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
I say laziness. After all, we're dealing with a generation whose mentality won't allow them to watch a movie unless it's in color!! 
What are your fav “Off Hollywood” films
Malcolm X, Clockers, Get On The Bus, He Got Game, Summer Of Sam, & The 25th Hour are must see's. Unfortunately, lately the only thing I hear about Spike is his courtside antics at basketball games. He seems to have lost his fire. 
Quick poll: Most enjoyable audio magazine ?
I do all my audio reading online these days. I used to be fanatical back in the 80's, I couldn't read enough of the mags, and there were so many to choose from. I find it interesting that the OP likes 'What Hi Fi', the reasons he stated seems very... 
Acoustic/Classical guitar. Who is your favorite?
Not classical but 75% of the responses haven't been either. Do yourself a favor and check out:Tim Sparks - Mississippi Blues - The dude's like a blues playing Joe Pass. For that matter, pick up Joe Pass - Virtuoso, a solo recording so extraordinar... 
Any Dennis Gonzalez fans out there?
On jazzcorner.com, Dennis has a long-running 'Ask Dennis Gonzalez' thread you may find interesting. 
Sinatra suggestions
I was just listening to Ella Fitzgerald sings the Cole Porter Songbook on vinyl 2 nites ago. Wonderful music! Hard to believe it was recorded when I was 3 yrs old! I own close to a dozen Sinatra records and they're all Capitol's. His later recordi... 
Joe Bonamassa Any suggestion's?
Joe B. is a monsta! Picked up 'You & Me' after hearing it at a Tower Records listening station (had never heard of JB before that!). Man, I miss Tower! One of the most interesting things about 'You & Me' is how much Jason Bonham sounds lik... 
South Florida Audio Forum
The meeting was a blast! Tracey & David know how to throw a party! It was my 1st visit to David's shop and Igottatellya, I was very impressed. It's been, literally, over a decade since I've walked into a shop that focused on 2 channel audio. A... 
Best vinyl stereo press of Hendrix - Experienced?
Debatable. But talk about debating over an abundance of riches!! No doubting 'Ladyland's brilliance. But I think it ultimately was more of Jimi as the guitar-slinger whereas 'First Rays...' was really showing his growth as a songwriter. Plz don't ...
