| Admittedly a bit lost You are likely to get all kinds of suggestions regarding equipment, brands and the like- I'm less inclined to offer that, and to suggest some methods to approach this. First, be careful what you wish for- low bass, particularly of the synth variet... | |
| TheVinylPress.com The recent exploration of Canned Heat on TheVinylPress generated some real enthusiasm among readers, one of whom turned out to be Rebecca Davis, the author of “Blind Owl Blues,” an authoritative biography of Alan Wilson. Several readers had asked ... | |
| Cadillac of Turntables? String- thanks, i did see something about that in the news and didn't really pay any attention. Appreciate the correction. Taters- dunno. The price when I had a late run Diabo 6.0 (which was sort of the end of the trail, after the Audi purchase of... | |
| Cadillac of Turntables? Although I haven't owned an American car since the '60s, I gather that the newish Caddies are OK, I think you can get one with a Corvette engine and possibly a stick. Ferraris are expensive to maintain in part b/c the engine timing belt service re... | |
| Cadillac of Turntables? It would need tail fins, twilight 'sentinel' and a lot of chrome. Also must weigh a few tons and have low trade-in value. Classic Caddy from the late '50s to mid-'60s. Love 'em, but not for turntables. What was it Don Delilo said: Rolls-Royce, the... | |

| "Pressing Vinyl" Act- RTI for sure; don't know if they used any others. I was addressing an earlier post that suggested MoFi had its own pressing plant. I don't buy many remasters or "audiophile" records these days, but of the 'new' MoFi's I have, the quality is g... | |
| "Pressing Vinyl" Precisely. And when the Lumber sexuals decide craft made beer and vinyls are out, where to next? :) | |
| "Pressing Vinyl" Ralph: I'm happy about the resurgence and the resulting renassiance in the art of making records. I hope it does continue, but I do think there is a degree of 'fashion' to all of this right now that may not be enduring. I'm OK with that too. I hun... | |
| TheVinylPress.com Here's a link to the series of related pieces on Canned Heat, including some background on the band, reviews of four albums of the "classic line-up," an extended interview with Skip Taylor, their long-time manager (whose own history in the biz is ... | |
| TheVinylPress.com Larry Taylor, the bass player, Fito, the drummer, Harvey Mandel has been in and out of the recent line-ups (he was at Woodstock b/c Vestine had quit the band at that time) and a couple others. I'll cover it when i post the piece on Monday. | |
| "Pressing Vinyl" I don't think MoFi owns its own pressing plant. The original ones were done, as you no doubt know, by JVC in Japan. I think they owned a US plant briefly in the '90s, before they went bankrupt. Now that Music Direct owns them, and rebooted the bra... | |
| TheVinylPress.com Canned Heat, sorry for the confusion. | |
| TheVinylPress.com BDP- hang in there with me, I've got a great piece which should publish next week. I learned a lot by working on it. From what I am told, the band was amazing live, and is still out there in an obviously re-booted form. More soon, not trying to be... |
