| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @billpete I would assume the reason for splitting the album up into two vinyl disks with only two or three songs per side would be to avoid using the inner grooves of the record. The sound deteriorates as the circumference becomes smaller. The li... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @billpete Please let me know if you can hear a big difference with the pink label. I would like to get the Analog Productions 45 rpm remaster. The 45 rpm albums that I own have remarkable frequency extension and a much wider image than their 33-1... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @billpete @cleeds is correct. The album is dbx encoded. You must have a dbx decoder in order to listen to the album correctly. It works on the same principle as Dolby A, B, and C. Dolby A was created for professional studios. When cassettes overt... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @billpete I would be interested to know what you think of the dbx copy when you get around to listening to it. dbx is another form of noise reduction different than Dolby A. If Dolby A had been used already. Why would you apply noise reduction a... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @billpete I covet your Cat Steven's collection :) I managed to snag a NM 1970 A&M first pressing of TFTT for a decent price last night. It is on its way. I hope that it actually is in NM condition. I will just have to live with that for the ... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @billpete The RD might be someone who was etching it. Who knows? The dead wax matrix catalog is far from complete. There are many variations that have not been recorded. Many times you just have to combine all of the information along with the cl... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @billpete I believe that you said that it came with a blue inner sleeve. I know how difficult it is to read dead wax. Is there a chance that RD could be LH? The Sterling LH should be stamped not etched. Or can you find LH somewhere? In either cas... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @bassbuyer I don't think that many people saw the early Steely Dan concerts since they quit touring very early in their career. I also saw the first tour after they released Two Against Nature in 2000. I saw them at "George at the Gorge" in Wash... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @billpete You definitely have a 1971 or 1972 reissue. Does it say anywhere who it was printed by? Possibly on the inner sleeve. But I am not sure. If it says who it was printed by that will narrow it down. Also does the ILPS9135 on the labels no... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @dogberry What you have is a 1976 reissue. They switched to the blue rim orange palm tree label for that reissue. | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @billpete I found it! It is not a remaster. It is a 2004 reissue on 180g vinyl. It may have included an insert advertising other Universal albums. Some did and some didn't. It was released in the UK and Europe. Is your regular Island copy of TF... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @billpete Does your remaster have this Barcode number by any chance? Barcode: 602517753129 If so, you have an Island 2008 "Back to Black" 180g remaster. Pressed in the UK. Discogs doesn't have photos of the labels nor any dead wax matrix info... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @bdp24, @billpete You don't have to convince me. Now that you have pointed it out. I can hear it. Obviously, the sound of the guitar. The pick across the strings. The songs that I listened to didn't have much cymbal hits. A small crash cymbal h... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @bdp24 This is incredibly fascinating! I am very familiar with Dolby A, B, and SR. And the headaches involved with having to deal with tapes that have been dubbed with the wrong settings. Sometimes multiple times. Virtually rendering it to ga... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @billpete Blue is the classic Joni album. She once said that it was her favorite because there wasn't an insincere note on it. I got a chance to see her perform. Right before an intermission, she sent the band offstage and sit with a dulcimer in ... |
