Talking Heads  -  Speaking In Tongues Joan Armatrading  -  S/T Basie Jam  I assume this is #1, it was recorded December 10, 1973.  I got a NM/M- copy for $5 plus shipping.  Man, this is a great album!

But I do have a new copy on the way of Danny Gatton / 88 Elmira Street. Acoustic Sounds has that reissue at $34.98, if anyone is interested.

I was looking for that American Music album but could only find it for between $59 and $100, on Discogs in NM/M- condition.  Rather pricey.  Any suggestions?  
Is High End Audio catchin' up with you all?
I'm pleased to say that I weigh only about 12 pounds more than when I graduated college.  I still wear the same size clothes.  I exercise, I hike in the Summer months, and I ski in the Winter months.  I pull up from the ocean large tuna and other ...

Thanks Brian.  I ordered the correct copy, from Discogs. My wife may even stay in the listening room for this one.

@bkeske  I am interested in that Isaac Stern Album.  I see on Discogs there are two versions, one is a digital process and the other is not.  The digital process is release 36692 and the analog (I believe that is the main difference) is 37244.  Wh...

@whatsaftumch Welcome to this wonderful thread.  Your writing, which I copied and posted below, is spot on.  I am in full agreement with your words and thought.  You are a wise man! Sometimes a beautiful sounding album and a beautiful album are ...

Oingo Boingo  -  Only A Lad   Very early pp I have had since it first was released.  Not many plays on it, perfect condition.  Danny Elfman is a genius! Once  -  A movie soundtrack, I think the only movie soundtrack that I own.  However, this one...

I remember that the first Monster Cable, I believe it was 12 gauge multi-strand copper, was the big deal of its time.  I think that was about 1979.  I replaced my 16 gauge lamp cord with it.  The original Tip Toes quickly followed.  That was the b...

At about 10 years of age I convinced my patents to get me an all-in-one stereo.  You know, the lid opens up to reveal a record player, the speakers fold out and you then lift them off of the hinges and about 8 feet of wire comes out of a small por...

It's either the dog or the records that fall into first place🤣   Steve, my copy is fairly quiet with just a little surface noise between songs.  That's not an issue at all.  However, the overall SQ seems to have a veil over it, a bit "muffled" s...

I've had my Degritter since last March.  I have been doing research for a while now on Tergitol, the proper mixture, application, pre-cleaning methods, etc.  I also have a Nitty Gritty so for used records that too lends a helping hand in a multi-s...

Jim, you have my attention on this.  It sounds as though you have a Degritter on backorder?  And with an extra tank?  It sounds as though you will clean with a Tergitol solution/mixture and then follow up with pure distilled water rinse via the se...

@dayglow  Thank you for the help and quality information.  I made the purchase on Discogs and also sent you a PM in return. This thread is the best!
