Original prices for LP albums

Cassandra Wilson - Another Country
If I had to pick a favorite Cassandra for the desert island it would be New Moon Daughter for sure. But probably not for the same reason you like it. Her version of Neil Young's Harvest Moon is the most chilling song Ive ever heard her do and to t... 
The Best Compliment You've Gotten On Your Rig?
My situation is like Wolf Garcia's. Nobody cares. My son often asks if he can play music and of course the answer is always yes, because he has great taste in music for a 19 year old, but he's never mentioned how good it sounds. That might be beca...

Top 5 Classical recordings
I don't own any classical music although I've been engaged with it at times. I really appreciate your post because it keeps me from having to start a new thread that asks the question you just answered for me. I will start off with Mozart piano co... 
Do you ration your favorite music?
I try and ration and for me it's very difficult. That's why I spend a lot of time researching new music. The best thing I ever did was fell in love with David Byrnes compilation called Brazil Classics 1 back in the late 80's. I had it for years an... 
Cassandra Wilson - Another Country
I meant to say I'm not nostalgic over OLD music. I like music to progress. That's why I love the new Cassandra as well as the new Melody Gardot.

Skylan Speaker Stands
Branislav. You can contact Noel and order some Q Bricks to put under your speakers. That will clear it up for you.
