ELO and the search for SQ
Done deal! Buying ELO on vinyl. Just wish I had a used record store in the area. Acoustic Sound is mucho pricey! Thanks for everyone's great input. 
ELO and the search for SQ
Spent the evening listening to an old Iron Butterfly lp (Ball) and to Hugh Masekela's "Hope" 45rpm lp. Got me excited about the thought of ELO on vinyl. Your post with the DR database just confirmed my decision to buy vinyl. Thanks much.
