    .....Vinyl on the U-Turn 'custom' table....IMG-2650.jpg

    The livingroom system...........Full Bang & Olufsen 6500 and the Klipsch RP-600M stand mounts...  B&O 'Master Control Panel' sitting on the glass coffee table.  Oh, the BlueTooth transceiver and Cambridge Audio photo stage sit on the left side of the rack.. IMG-2652.jpg

    Now for something COMPLETELY different from me.  It is just after 8am. and having breakfast decided to give the livingroom system a listen instead of watching the usual morning newscasts.

     

    This Diana Krall 'Best Of' re-release on double 180 gram vinyl set.  SO quiet a pressing.  Enjoying it and still amazed how a simple $600 U-Turn table can present it.  

     

    Took some photos just now with my brand new, replaced window glass with view outside as backdrop.  Yes, plenty of spring snow out there :). 

     

    Oops, my photo service is not working.  I will post later when it comes back into online..................... :wacko:

    Yea, a bit bored today soooo had a bit of a vision.  Talk nailed?   Ray is soooo SPOT ON in this double gatefold.  His vocals, the horns, that stand up bass can't help but make ya smile.  Worth every penny.  :)

    Yea, by the time I hit the last song on side 2 and time to move I thought what WAS that last song?  I pulled it and looked twice. "Cryin Time" and I sat here and sang along?  It's THAT good.  He doesn't rip that heart out he surgically removes it!  It's a RIDE!  :)

     

     

     

     

    WOW, I didn't realize this was released on vinyl !  I bought this when it was first released NEW at Starbucks.  While visiting family in Ontario CA.  We stopped for coffee and this recording was on the counter in a display.  I read all about how this was a nearly IMPOSSIBLE project.  But, through the vision of those engineers who insisted on this very unique recording, it works!  Glad to see it getting attention here :emotion-21:.

    Was just putting the album back in the clear sleeve and noticed this down in the lower corner of the front artwork......also noted the fine print stamped into the 'dead wax' area.........'Manufactured In West Germany'.    Well that will about to it for tonight, I think it will be a CD next up, but I won't post that here :biggrin2:.   Good night everyone. IMG-2643.jpg

    Good evening all !  It's Telarc Tuesday over in RTM, so I am sharing here.  This LP / Gatefold was purchased at a used record store I visited with a co-worker while we were on lunch (extended lunch that is! :lol:).   Found this rare recording which was released 4 years before Telarc began releasing their roster on CD ! IMG-2636-Copy.jpg

    Not sure if you have laws on mobile phone use in a car 

    Here you can’t hold a phone in hand, place it on one’s shoulder or rest it on your lap 

     

    My phone was in a waist bag that just popped up when I sat down 

    I believe that I have a strong case 

    So even if the courts decision still going against me I would elect to pay in instalments just to nark them 

     

    But if I was not working I would have elected to go to jail instead of paying the fine - just on principle 

     

     

    Same here Paul, no hand held devices by the driver, my state and pretty much all others here in the North East.  Best wishes with the outcome, keep us informed.

    Good evening mate 

    Im still deciding what I’m going to play today 

     

    Reason being is I just received a traffic camera fine but I’m going to contest it in court 

     

    So what would be appropriate 

    Oh WOW, surely you have something to spin for your 'sin' ......no, no, just kidding of course!! :lol:
