  1. I’m going to go through and catalogue my older jazz and blues collection over the coming weeks 

     

    Today is a great LP by some accomplished artists that you may not have heard before on this compilation release 

     

    One track that jumps out at me is Watermelon Man 

    This is a jazz standard written by the great Herbie Hancock 
     

    Artist - Harbour City Jazz Band 

    Title - Foo’s Blues

    Pictures Of Home...bet that particular weight sounds just great.


    I’m surprised that it’s such a well mastered LP 

    The sound quality is to be praised - Just play it loud is my motto for this record 😎

  6. Here is something I purchased via eBay just a couple of days ago 

     

    2 lovely display units coming so I can photograph both the record cover and the vinyl 

    Now waiting on delivery 

     

    I should add that the stand folds donn to next to nothing when not in use

    JJ Cale Lyrics

     

    "Thirteen Days"
     

    Thirteen days on a gig in the south
    We've got enough dope to keep us all around
    We've got two girls dancin' to bring in a crowd
    A sound man to mix us, make us sound loud
    Sometimes we make money, sometimes I don't know
    There's thirteen days with five to go

    Birmingham, Mobile, and up to Baton Rouge
    We're smokin' cigarettes and reefer, drinkin' coffee and booze
    Saw the sun go down in Atlanta, come up in New Orleans
    I got to know a waitress, I tried to get in her jeans
    Sometimes we make money, sometimes I don't know
    There's thirteen days with five to go

    Migrant Worker is the name of this band
    If we're ever in your town, come see us if you can
    Yeah, we been to California, we been to New York
    Some take to the magazines, some take to dope
    Sometimes we make money, sometimes I don't know
    Thirteen days with five to go

    Enjoy listening to JJ Cale! Can only try to get more of his work.


    I reposted it on the vinyl thread 

    But added my impressions on style similarities to another famous band 

  10. A 1979 Australian pressing 

    If I was to play this album and hid the title and the artist from the listener

    One would swear that it was Dire Straights 

     

    Artist - JJ Cale

    Title - 5

  11. My friend of 45 years is a drummer and the best man at my wedding 

    He liked Neal Peart for his drumming abilities 

     

    A gifted drummer and a Prog genre pioneer after the English bands started it all 

    Long live Prog

  12. I received this album for my birthday last month - however I  just opened it up for a spin today 

     

    This classic album needs no introduction 

    But it sounds fantastic on my horn system with a little extra volume 😎

     

    Artist - Mike Oldfield 

    Title - Tubular Bells

    So can it sent the positive and then negative out of the other barrel?

    The kind I've always had was depress for one then release for the other.


    Not sure - but they state a wider affective area coverage on the box 

    This is the Zeepa information I found on the net

    It did quit raining finally got to see sunshine for a couple days.... then rain all morning today that has cleared out and left us muddy as the usual lately. 


    Less static when it rains so you may experience a better sound ?

    Heard they made arrests "down under" for the unGodly act of starting that big fire.


    Most fires start by lightning strikes 

    But yes some idiots do start fires for thrills

    Opinions? Paul had a great idea, they sell a vacuum attachment with the end blocked off and the slit with the brushes on it for vacuuming records, it fits over the spindle. Mine isn't a wet/dry vac though and I'd have to find an unused platter somewhere.

     

     

    @JohnJ  Ultrasonic can generally clean in batches of 6 records at a time - so that should be a consideration

  16. I have used this DAC for several years - first model and then upgraded to the current model known as the DAC3 

    Both models are available on eBay - newer model is more expensive but both are great 

    Both are within your budget 

     

    Starting Point Systems NOS DAC - uses a Philips TDA 1543 chip 

    Bonus is that it can run on power and also batteries 

     

    This video is by the designer and maker - model shown is the new DAC3
