"New" Beatles Mono Catalog Release on 180gr Vinyl
Couldn't sleep.....( I hope my writing on PPM came through)."With The Beatles" & "A Hard Days Night" were both pressed off center. Not just a teeny bit either. I reamed out the spindle hole in order to get them to tracking properly. And yes, t... 
"New" Beatles Mono Catalog Release on 180gr Vinyl
I should have mentioned that on PPM, the dynamics are pretty amazing as far as my experience w/ Beatles & mono is concerned. The ambient information, and sustain on vocals & instruments are darn good. 
"New" Beatles Mono Catalog Release on 180gr Vinyl
I have cleaned and listened to "Please Please Me". From my limited experience with "good" Beatles lps, this is the best I've heard of this title. "I Saw Her Standing There", all of the vocalists are (each) easy to hear, the drums and bass guitar a... 
Tom Petty "Hypnotic Eye"

Tom Petty "Hypnotic Eye"
My ongoing response has me worried that there may be differing sources for this (lp) already. Highly unusual these days. In the past, IMO, Dgarretson's posts on lps have mirrored mine. More research needed?The deluxe version, out now, I think pres...

Dgarretson: Is your copy an import? Mine is. As I've reported (Amazon: SLS) my copy came in as a "sick human in need of rehabilitation". Since I've bought mine, (through Amazon), the price had dramatically decreased. I was made aware of an "audiop...

Martykl:We're on the right track I think. 
We get into a GROOVE.
Mofimadness: You got the meaning of my post correct. I guess what I'm leaning to is a better quality, more (across the board) sonic standard.With all of the many labels and their differing pressing plants. Now, consider the differing producers, ma...

In the most strict sense of Pop, I'd relent to "I'm Not In Love" 10cc!!! 
Similar sounding bands.
10cc vs. Queen

Anyone remember 10 CC?Now that I have your attention....."I'm Not In Love""Here Come The Judge""Things We Do For Love"Wow!Wichita Lineman still hangs TALL! 
the greatest pop song ever?
I'm on a roll. Don't forget about the late, great John Denver.What a voice. What a simple solution to pop culture!Too many to mention. Even Frank Sinatra called him the best voice he had heard.

Let's not forget about Carol King's GREAT work!

"Wichita Lineman"... with less than 150 words.. (I haven't counted them). told THE STORY!Wow! I only wish that could happen in this day and time.Forward to approximately ten years later.. Hall & Oates.Their MOFI "Abandoned Luncheonette" was/is...
