quite a ONE, TWO Punch combo , Baggy!!! the Live Vengeance 1982 DVD is a great companion to this one...and the sound is NOT bad at ALL!!!!
Yet another 2 LP 45 rpm Jaw Drop – sounds SO GOOD! Another recommendation from MIKE'S PICKS
The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out
Clement, those are two of the most iconic jazz albums. Had the chance to catch Getz live in 80's, and Brubeck in the 90's.
Bought my first copy of that Getz record in 3rd grade when it was on the charts! Rebought it on an Early German CD, and again on SACD.
My first copy of that Brubeck was in '70's. Rebought that on Japan CD, multi SACD, 2 CD expanded and UK
2CD 2ch & mono mixes.
Both essential albums!

Its an album I love (especially the SACD). I first heard it as a kid when my late father played the LP, but also him playing Take Five and other tracks on the piano (he was a really good musician, if he heard a song once he could play it)
Happy 50th to Dark Side of the Moon! My LP is only 48 years old–scored it when i was a frosh! Listening through the SM v.2 in 4.0 today!
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon
Had to be done: 50 years ago today. Happy Anniversary!
I'm a HUGE fan of these Amerigo Gazaway Soul Mates collections. Been looking for this one for awhile. Finally scored it at a good price. Killer through the SM v.2!
Amerigo Gazaway - Nina Simone & Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation Of Eunice Waymon
After Dsotm I paid tribute to Syd by spinning this.
I feel bad for the session musicians, must have been hell trying to play along to Syd's tracks. The mixes are terrible though: this would be screaming for a decent remix if the multitracks are around. The backing tracks sound like they're being played on a crappy cassette deck, in the washroom of an apartment next door!
I like Syd's unaccompanied pieces much better.
"Dark Globe" sounds like something that we'd hear on a new Roger Waters album. "...wouldn't you miss me at all??" Sounds just like Rog, the way he sings it.

I won't bore you with the story, but i will say this LP saved my life back in November of 1977. Sounds phenomenal through the SM v.2!
Elvis Costello - My Aim Is True
Sticking with Elvis Costello and the Attractions through the SM v.2 this mo(u)rning, hoping they can help me GET HAPPY!!

Used to have this with the older font on top…it was the reason I gave up on pivot arm TTs, it gouged my slab on Brain Damage…

"Spinning" a slab that I "inherited" back in High School...funny that I would up with a few LPs that their owners did not care for...happy ending cause they ended up on a home where they got the love they deserved...this one is a FIRST pressing and it sounds FRESHHHHHHHHHHH....also curious that I DID buy the 45 for "and the cradle will rock" before this one came to me...it even had the Helmut Newton poster...KIN-KYYYYY (to quote HEDLEY Lamarr)...was not a big fan of this one but they one upped me when I saw them in Philly in Fall 82 and started their set with "Romeo's Delight"!!!
everybody DEFINITELY wants some!!!

Been enjoying Wayne Shorter most of the day. He was a VERSATILE SENSITIVE OUTSTANDING PERFORMER! Play on, Mr. Gone!

Started on the third gig of this boxset, Duke University..
got mixed feelings regarding it, the QC is virtually nil... I should have investigated that these "Made in Canada" is basically the Canadian plant for GZ (Checz) which is quite bad , especially QC wise, the ONLY perfect LP I got from them was from 2009 and it was U2's "The unforgettable fire" which I am guessing that it was courtesy of The Edge's TLC that it was a great set...from experience, the French MPO plants are much better..
The funny part is that, being translucent vinyl you can see any defects and they LOOK almost perfect...playing them is something else, VERY crackly, maybe it needs to be played several times to "clean the grooves"...
Sound wise, they sound like they were sourced from the CDs; not a lot of "improvement" soundwise(more hi frequency info than the CD counterpart)...
I mean, they ARE very purty and could be deemed as an "INVESTMENT", hopefully they will gain value as time goes by.. we shall see...

Well, in addition to getting another does of Wayne Shorter, tonight's Weather Report says some Heavy Weather is coming my way!
Weather Report - Heavy Weather
Been trying to find this album for a few months: for a while I deliberately scrambled all my records, so I'd listen to stuff I might not otherwise. But it's a pain in the ass if you're actually looking for something!
Record collection not in order? I may have to lie down to recover from reading those words! (Actually, mine is in a bit of an unintentional mess.)
Nice idea to play at random, but keep them in alpha order and just use a random number generator to pick an album for you! That way, you have the best of both worlds. (I know you probably have too many to actually number them, but you could, for example, measure the shelf space and then ask Siri/ Google/ Alexa to pick a number within the range, so you pick the album that is, say, 372mm in.)
Yeah, that would be too easy. And logical 
And I'd consider it cheating, in the mindset I was in at the time.
