Kate Wolf & The Wildwood Flower – Lines On The Paper (Owl 1977)Killed by leukemia at 44. Better than Carole King. Sweet album. Solid recording. 
My kiseki Blackheart nightmare.
Ouch. As the dealer did their job well, mentioning them by name would add legitimacy to the compliant.

Not all hype - but new tubes are better than they were.

Mireille Mathieu – Mireille... Mireille (Barclay 1968)French female singer with a style cross between Edith Piaf and Jacques Brel. Only a lot prettier. Imagine a chateau with the casement windows thrown open on a sunny morning. 
Turntable versus tonearm versus cartridge: which is MOST important?
Yeah. What they said.I remember a demo I sat in on back in the 80s. Linn LP12 with a K9 (cheap MM AT cartridge) on an Ittok beat a Karma (MC) on a cheap Basik arm. 
Kevin's Tannoy priced as a Single speaker??
Single pricing of speakers was rampant in the States for years but seems to have died away. Until now! Seems it's a nasty marketing strategy designed to catch your attention. The best bit is where it says "Must be purchased in pairs."

Malicorne – Malicorne (Hexagone 1975)A kind of French Steeleye Span crossed with Alan Stivel. Nice.

Jennifer* – I Can Remember Everything (Parrot 1968)Jennifer Warnes first album. Even then her recordings were excellent. Very good album.
