you know I may have to reconsider PBR... -
because of another thread...

Ha -- there was Kyrie, Is it Love, and Broken Wings. Still - not great songs.. but they are in my lexicon.
-
Oh and one more. I do like this Robin Trower album. But it is too beat up to save.

Some more record listening/sorting.. A nice Brahms set.. I liked it and will keep it.. good performance of #3 and good dynamics on the recording.. Changing Gears a bit with Voodoo Suite - I am a little torn on this one, not the greatest recording or condition - but it is sure interesting. May stick around for a bit. This was a little bit of a find for me - This early Diahann Carroll (59) record turned out to be really enjoyable and well done. This BTO was in just too bad of shape - got it a long time ago from a friend that did not take care of LP's.. gone... Getting into the 80's for a bit... This Noise Works from Australia was pretty good. Kind of a .38 special vibe with other stuff thrown in - It was well recorded and was well played - but nothing caught me on the album. Not that it was boring - just not inspiring to listen to again for me ooph - way too 80's. Not a real instrument in the house. And these were the Mixes. Did not make it to the B side. I don't care what you say - I like me some Mr. Mister. On the better side of the 80's for me. I remember liking the Outfield, but didn't know this much. This Trio from UK has some U2 features to them. But I found myself knowing every song. I must have listened to it more than I thought back in the day. An older recording. Just does not have the life and liveliness that I really want in this show. Thanks Amoeba I will not see that $4.95 again.. A live show (show 2). That was pressed for broadcast. It is hosted by Jim Ladd. Good recording of a German show - just a little too compressed - and rolled off at the high end. But as a Yes Fan. It is nice to have in the set. (It says to return after broadcast - I will do that as soon as I broadcast it) Know all the songs - like all the songs.. Thought - old crappy pressing, will not hold up.. Wrong - it sounds really good. Turns out to be an original pressing - and a good one. Record was not taken care of - but should clean up well in the VPI. looking forward to listening to on main rig. What they use to sell as an 'import' - This bootleg Genesis has some good performances on it , but it is just not recorded well enough to listen to much more. That being said I did listen to 4 sides (you have to guess which ones)..

Cheaper (not better) -- I used U-haul small boxes to move my 2k+ collection from my last place. Book-Box Since they are 12^3. I packed them in one way and stretched the box out slightly to fit. I have not noticed an issue with any of the pressings since. Note -- I did not use a moving company.. and I personally moved the record boxes myself as well only stacking them 2 high (no friends or family were trusted)... I just noticed a new box that they have Small-Moving-Box 16-3/8" x 12-5/8" x 12-5/8" Gives a little bit more room... (I would have used these if they were available at the time) But none give the safely of the crate if you are not moving them yourself. Also depends on how many LP's you are talking about.

I'd give a butt rub to eat that..

Yes it is true - that most of the American Whisky you see on the shelves comes from about 3 distilleries - contract distilling. Give them a recipe and money and they give you barrels. You make up a name and put it on the shelves. It takes a lot of research to find out where it comes from. One of the reasons I like single malt - Bowmore = Bowmore. A lot of High west these days is pretty legit, Dave had to buy casks from various places to get off the ground, but makes a lot of it now. But it is easy to supplement.

Nope other than my little 'yep sounds good' from post 1304. New feedbands .. They have upgraded to a lined inner sleeve. It is hard to inspect white vinyl. Mammoth Indigo

Cheers To Ricciardo.. Fernando outdrove his car (and the field) and was amazing... and fair play to Hamilton to come from the back to the podium - one of the better drives I have ever seen...

gots to love super old threads...

^^ understand all of that...

lots of listening.... I was not expecting to keep this recording - but the 7th really did capture me - mono but I am fine with that.... Just too good of a performance and recording to consider purging.. worthy... Historically good but not great and recording not up to snuff to listen to. Another boxed set that I thought was throw away... wrong - No.22 captured great... (along with the others) Another I never expected to keep - these guys from the 1800's know what they are doing - recording is good - but everything else is there in spades. Fun with the insides as well.. What is this? and where did it come from? .. I don't know - but it is going to stick around for a bit... (70's goodness - you may know "Just remember I love you") Escape? - yes, yes I will... along with the rest of the tunes.. Okay... Starcastle - Fountains of Light.. what the actual Fuck? -- How did I have this for so long and not know that this album pretty much kicked ass? -- 1977 - Yes ripoff that I think is killer. (fan) (fuzzy phone pics... but fun evening)....

switching over from listening to now... Was much better than I thought - keeper.. (I do like my Liszt)
-
A couple of historical recordings.. but not much interest or enjoyment. (over to Analog thread)...
