Spinning on the Turntable now...

Sounds as if you've raised one cool kid! Well, the apple don't fall far from the tree, eh? I've been following this guy since 2012 (i think!) when a cool student of mine turned me on to him!

Yeah, he acquired a deep love of music from me. He's a cool guy. He's my youngest, at 30. We spent many hours analyzing music in my music room. He's a much deeper thinker than I am...which is scary honestly.

Hey Clement does your pressing of LZ II replicate the deep bass of the original withdrawn first Lp issue? Ive never heard it but its sought after.

I have three RL copies of LZ II, and I can confirm that no other copy replicates the bass on that one. That being said, pretty much every version of that album sounds good, but not as good as that original pressing.

His other albums are excellent as well

Love & Hate was one of my favorites of 2016. Played it a LOT in my classroom! Home Again was the name of the release a student played for me. I have both of those on CD. Perhaps vinyl in the future! So much wax, so little time . . . and money!

How does the vinyl of that one sound? I love the album but the CD is brutally brickwalled.

Sounds GLORIOUS! I recollect Tim at Squeezebox telling me that this Interscope Records pressing was the one to get–i LOVE it!

The RL pressing is in a league of it's own , a little different and very good is the 200grm Classic records pressing, all the remaining pressing are a very very large step down from those 2. But I've never had the
4 LP 45 RPM version so can't comment on that one

Clement giving us an education in record spinning.
Vinyl 101.A

Okay, let me say that Clement has a LOT to learn. Before i get into it, i should note that my wife just came in and wondered aloud–actually that should be ALOUD–why i had the music on so loud. I guess all of these years of live music, headphones, and general atrophy have left me with questionable hearing! My wife is 11 years my junior, and she has not abused her hearing as i have. Any hoo, i'm leading up to say that i checked out the YouTube channel i found when trying to answer a question for @Perpendicular , and of course Mike covered the best pressing of Led Zeppelin II:



Most edifying! I'm going to be on the lookout (listenout?) for the coveted (Houses of the) Holy Grail of LZII pressings! And maybe go for a hearing test! I'll keep you posted. Until then, just a quick thank you to EVERYONE on QQ for keeping me going and engaged during these trying times. You all are the BEST!

Tay Tay! What more need i say say?

Wait!? Do i spy a Funko Pop Powerslave and Musical Brick Brush 1978 Stage Set in the background?!

 

[Clement]

Hoo boy! This one is really taking me back! I spent a LOT of time in high school with this one! A sonic sower mind blower bowl me over!

I have no idea what that record is, but it looks like a zoetrope. Is there a slotted drum to watch the moving image?

Still making my way (my weigh!) through Dave's Records going-out-of-business sale finds. This one was a recommendation from a fellow traveller!

SO grateful for record store conversations that lead to ear-opening, mind-expanding purchases! For me, this one is a real winner!
