| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem With Pete Seeger, Bruce Langhorne – A Spontaneous Performance Recording! (Columbia 1961)Mint. Fine live recording. Devoid of electronic haze; deep black soundstage. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Neil Young & Crazy Horse – Live Rust (Reprise 1979)We used play this a lot on an old cheap Technics. Vinyl looks rough - paper scuffs, some scratches and mold. Gave it a quick SpinClean. Plays perfectly with minimal noise. You never can tell.... | |
