@MicroMara ya can't go wrong w/Bowie. Ya just can't. I've prolly seen all of his US shows or close to all and he never ceased to amaze me. Was backstage waaay early once and heard a roar circling the venue. Here he comes in sweats w/a towel wrapped around his throat down the hall giddy as heck. Someone asked where he'd been and he said he went for a run around the place a coupe times. Then we knew what happened w/the crowd noise. On stage he was just magical. He just flipped the switch and was into his groove. The "Blackstar" lp & video that released 2 days before his death? That lp just guts me every time I play it. Thanks for that old stuff!

Where did this come from??? A silver label, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, reissue...Sounding pretty good! The B-52's - Cosmic Thing.

Marvin Gaye´s last Concert Tour , Summer 1983 .....a monument ....fantastic !

"Now I'm calling on citizens from all over the world , This is Captain America calling"... The Kinks- Low Budget.

Made it to another Friday evening! Going a little Peaky Blinders... Red Right Hand, nice tune. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Let Love In.

Followed by George Duke´s " Guardian of the Light " 1983, CBS Records

beeing in the right funk´n soul mood right now Earth Wind & Fire´s " I Am " , 1979, CBS Records

Well is time for a burn in periode from the Dynaco PAS 4 Tube Phonostage equipped with 2 x 6DJ8 Electro Harmonix Gold & Gold grid as well as 2 x 12 AX7 Electro Harmonix Gold & Gold grid. Nice to have an option to the SteinMusic Tube Phpno Pre with 2 x PCC88 NoS Siemens tubes. Sure , will take a couple of hours , but from the start it sound quiet well . Mr. Steve Wonder got the honor to do the job for me ......." Original Musiquarium I " 1982 , Motown Records

^^^^^^^^^ me thinks you're pretty sly. Ok, where's the treasure trove? I KNOW you got it cause you keep pullin out some great old albums I haven't heard in a VERY long time. Keep up the good work @Mossy bottom

Haven't taken this record out for a spin in a while...This one also wants to be played loud. Masters of Reality - Sunrise On The Sufferbus. 1992

@Dave1291

Frank and his Mothers Over- Nite Sensation , 1973, Discrete Records. You´ll know that Jean Luc Ponty and George Duke were a part of his band for this production ?

It is a rarity that such audiophile productions were produced on the Mercury ( Phonogram ) label as early as 1974. This album is one of the most perfect productions of its time. 10 CC with "The original Soundtrack". God this is beautiful .........

Stanley Clarke & George Duke Project II , got Project I from them as well and I think Project I is the better, uncommercial production. However ..still good enough for the burn in. After 4 hours .......getting the first " WOW Effects " here and a real fat smile in my face

HA ...a Nakamichi RX 303 or 505 ? Beautiful , believe it´s in perfect working condition....

Nice! It's hard not to play this record loud. It's so well recorded, and a just a great lp. Cheers!

My favorite Kinks LP, first heard it LOUD on a set of dual woofer JBL towers my roomie had down at Stone Mtn. GA. "Superman" made `em move!

same here this morning , more than 5 inch snow cover right now ....

Sorry about the thread crap: So yea, need some tunes while I change out tubes and dust a bit so went to Youtube and found this lil gem. People wonder is Susan Tedeschi has her act together? Ouch! So yea, enjoy and I'll cya when I cya! hahaha

The brand new album from Tears for Fears " The tipping point " was released by the end of february 2022 .

George M. Duke (January 12, 1946 – August 5, 2013) was an American keyboardist, composer, singer-songwriter and record producer. He worked with numerous artists as arranger, music director, writer and co-writer, record producer and as a professor of music. He first made a name for himself with the album The Jean-Luc Ponty Experience with the George Duke Trio. He was known primarily for 32 solo albums, of which A Brazilian Love Affair from 1979 was his most popular, as well as for his collaborations with other musicians, particularly Frank Zappa.

Nope, never heard of them but they aren't bad. Ponty of course but now ya piqued my interest... Thanks for that one!

John, I'm clueless but "they" said it was gonna be the bomb and I kinda want to see. Maybe the first batch of something is good. Just an Ohio farmer who likes to make his whiskey and started a business. Think he's released other stuff under that name but this "Hog Batch" is supposed to be their best yet. Clueless. Ya never know if it's gonna be worth more. Then ya open it and 5 years later it's worth mega bucks. hahaha George, I'm just playin a bit until they blossom then we'll see how they sound. BTW, I'm NOT going to "think of you" while I'm sipping. hahahaha I might chuckle a bit now... Just cause of the Marvin Gaye and Copeland. Anymore, here in the US ya say "think of me," ya just never know what kind of fallout to expect. hahaha 😂 😂

Whistle Pig is rye right? $$ stuff. Not bad but won't beat a 12 yr Weller in my book! Enjoy rollin' tonight bud!

George, I'm here... I'm about to become your biggest nightmare... Get OUT of my d($# head! I FINALLY went to bed @5:15AM after burning through about 25 David Bowie albums last night! So I slip in to get caught up and Shazam YOU DID IT AGAIN! Marvin Gaye and a few others come to mind! GRRRRR!!! Tell ya what I'm gonna do just for you. I got a box today and was surprised to see my KT-88's. Soooo, Imma gonna change them out and give 'em a listen. Gonna pop that new release of his on just for you. Lil more punch but I wanna compare things a bit before I lay out the big bucks for a PrimaLuna top of the food chain amp. The "Whistle Pig Farmstock Whiskey?" I actually drove 100 miles to get is their First Batch sold only in Ohio for now. Their "Home-Field Hog Batch" is 86% Proof and 43% Alcohol label says. Now I'm not a whiskey drinkin kinda guy since I drink Scotch. This could be interesting. They say it's great but I dunno. Might just stay on the scotch. Safer that way! Either way I'm blaming you. Marvin Gaye... Yup, that's it! Now time to get to work! So there's that... Now I see your post and it's Stewart Copeland? Quit it man, just quit! 😂 😂 😎

The Police is here ....., Regatta de Blanc , 1979, A&M Records

You´re welcome !

Then these I'd recorded... it was the 80s That's not the famous version above. Circus Animals was a good release by them. The bike club/ pool hall played all this kind of stuff, some 80s stuff gets better when you haven't heard it in a while.

You must have settled down a little, was expecting PFunk or ChakaKahn up next although they aren't jazzed up enough after George and Stanley!

Had a dinner break with my wife and kids. Continue now with Peter Gabriel´s " So " 1986

Then these guys played every place for a hundred miles around in about 1980 where I'm from. Leans towards pop but pretty decent for a home turf band. Freakin' great by today's radio standards!

Thanks, there's a few good Peter Gabriel live versions of that one above, saw an interesting interpretation of the basis of the lyrics online. This was pool-hall and background party music also.. but three to me are turner uppers. The title track, Shanghaied and Tired of Wearing Black.

Remember a short time ago I posted the song Exposure / Robert Fripp It was first released by Peter Gabriel The song was credited to both artists and Fripp played guitar on Gabriel’s version also his producer at the time

Lascala’s look sweet ,they look like a serious no nonsense piece of equipment, and that’s just what they are. Nice looking room🤓

The newer Khorns mentioned are pretty much out of my price range, and messing around with mods like fake corners is more then I want to pursue unless it's a deal too good to pass up. And even then, they would have to be pretty dang outstanding to better what I already get from my LS's, which, BTW, I and wife love the way they look and they seem made for my room .

That´s true Dave ! Didn´t knew that you were very famouse in the late 1960´tees . " Coccinelle Varietes " from Mr. David Bowie , Decca Label ,1967 Hard to find some tunes from this album, finally I found some ...

Goodnight from Chicago Something Different From the Canadian Rockies or there abouts Library 50 cent find, plucky Joe Jackson Jumpin' Jive, 1930s depression tunes Dianna Krall not, Julie London She has a Cole Porter Covers LP, I checked a couple of times because I thought it was Krall

Im offering them here first. Hate to let these go, but I'm running out of space. For Sale: Walnut Quartet. They are pretty much blemish free and have a high WAF. The grills have no damage. All new Dayton Audio Grade capacitors. $$$ and as usual, I'm willing to do a trade / partial trade. I am looking for a nice SS amp, even if the money trade goes out rather than in. Lexington KY area. I'll try to post more and better pictures later. Please PM me with any offers or questions.

Up for sale, [Not any more Banned user]

Can't get it to play here in the States. Found the whole lp though. Which song were you talking about @Full Range bet it's this:

It wouldn't be me if I wasn't playing my favorites from the 70s. Not the best by this band, but @Mossy bottom covered that already with vinyl. This is one that just blurred into the background often back then when we were pushing our limits back then.

Mornin' all I see some of the US got an April Fool's Day snow... we're basking... Y'all know I watch tv... Last night on Wheel of fortune... last puzzle. The contestant won a car... she jumped in the car and the camera pans across it.... Looked like bird droppings or paint spatters all over the thing... and the side mirror was scraped all to... it got crashed before it went on stage...

Like all Carver products. First class. That's a lot of good, affordable watts at 25 cents a watt, with no tax and free shipping, unlike Ebay now that charges tax on used stuff. This totally pisses me off as a buyer. More government over reach since they can't manage money worth shit since they went off the Gold standard during the Nixon era! Sorry about the mini rant.
