Favorite music
I've very much enjoyed Black Dub. I hope they do another project together. 
"Paper Airplane"
Rja, The magic or the stars just didn't align for them this time. I'm on the verge of saying that they were relying on the old formula without taking more risk.

A Gem Dandy is also inexpensive and you could use it in conjunction with a steamer also. It would be wise to read here, others experiences with these products.

Martykl,I was going to suggest Kenny Rodgers @ The First Edition "Just Dropped In", then realized it was the 60's also.

I personally use a Record Dr. and a VPI 16.5 in my record cleaning regimen. But having read plenty here regarding steam cleaning, that's what I'd look into for an inexpensive way to get those Lps squeaky clean. 
What song/composition sounds like another artist?
Beth Orton = Dido 
What Mobile Fidelity lp or cd is your fav ?
I started a similar thread a while back and at that time I praised David Bowie "Ziggy Stardust" (LP). I'm going to change that now and give 5***** to The Cowboy Junkies "Whites Off Earth Now" (LP). I have yet to hear a better sounding LP. 
Robin Trower
By the way, "Back It Up" ROCKS! 
Robin Trower
My Robin Lps aren't "state of the art" by any means but are extremely enjoyable. This is the type of music that will probably never be made again. I feel privileged to own his works.
