| Whats on your turntable tonight? Thanks, Joe! Sounds like I can focus on other areas of my wish list first. And agree again on the "Time Out" 45rpm.Cheers, | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Nice additions to the collection, Joe! I second your comments about the 45rpm version of "Time Out" - a worthy improvement in the sonics.So, what's your take on "This One's for Blanton" - "highly recommended" or just "very good" or .... ? I've had... | |
