Wha-Koo ~ Fragile Line

3rd and final LP from this L.A. band with former Steely Dan singer David Palmer on vocals.

I've got that but don't remember it. I'll have to dig it out.

Styx ~ Equinox


Sibilants though are brutal.
Could blame my TT set up or the settings on my phono stage, but this is the only LP that sounds like this so…,

Wondering if you tried upping the tracking force to whatever the max is for that cartridge, for that record? Sometimes that helps.

Johnny Rivers - Realization

 

[Quad Linda]

IMHO, Johnny's best LP. IR original label and all!

I remember going down to the Kresge's in the shopping center near my house and buying it when I was 17!

I was 14 when I got mine and it was on the charts.

Good idea, I’ll give it a try when I get back from this week’s vacation to the Oregon Coast

S.S. Kresge's... the "K" in K-Mart. When they opened up K-Marts all over and closed the Kresge's TG&Y took over the store. By that time I had become more mobile and was buying records at Fed Mart, Target, JC Penneys where I bought the Beatles White album, etc etc. and record stores like Sound Warehouse, Discount Records, Peaches, Hot Rocks, Sound Town, Music Land were becoming the places to buy records. Used to really love the store-wide sales they would have usually on or near holidays. Blow a whole paycheck and come out with an armload. ☺

I'm sure most of you vinyl-heads are familiar with the controversial Michael Fremer, (former) writer for Stereophile and Analog Planet. It seems he has recently left both of those to join The Absolute Sound and will be writing on a new site here:

https://trackingangle.com/
Also, his former site Analog Planet will remain but featuring new writers, including Mike Mettler:

I remember Mike Mettler. He was with Sound & Vision probably 10-15 years ago. They were doing a feature on analog audio, I sent him a picture of my Teac A-2340 R-R playing my legal store bought prerecorded Abbey Road tape and it got published in the magazine. My little one time claim to fame!

He is still with that magazine and is a champion of all things surround. Not to get off-topic, but he writes a weekly blog/column on their website dedicated to Apple Music's streaming Spatial Audio content.

He seems to be very extreme in his views in the last few years, wonder if that will continue in the new site

I love and respect Michael Fremer but don’t much like it when he gets all political. I‘m sure it just pisses off and alienates many readers. Can’t we all get along?

Never heard of, nor heard this particular group but it sounds like something snood would say.

Did they do only one album?

I got mine out today, same album The Rang posted about. It's pretty good. The last song on side 2 stood out to me.

really.. you should have someone list your collection in Discogs.. I am sure it's worth quite a bit of change...
