    I do need to figure out finding,/outfitting a laptop with a great sound card with good quality output (HDMI?)

     

    I have tried putting together a similar system for streaming 

    In the end a Bluesound Node won the day 

  2. An early morning spinning session 

    Great way to start the day 

     

    A double live album from 4 masters of the trade 

    All the best and favourite tracks are on this album 

    Also an extended version of Southern Man is superb 

     

    Artist - Crosby Stills Nash & Young 

    Title - 4 Way Street

  3. A good design can be used for many purposes and this one is made to order for a TT stand 

    So I offer my congrats

     You should post updates on the individual stages of the transformation

  4. I have just finished a compilation album as a precursor to playing 4 way street 

     

    Most of the great and favourite tracks are on it - any more and it would have been a double album 

     

    Artist - Crosby Stills Nash and Young 

    Title - Celebration Copy

    Okies gentlemen...  Thoughts on a turntable stand so I can get this Linn off the wall rack???  Paul???  Looks rock solid and thinking some cones on the bottom and possibly iso pads under the plinth...  This thing looks heavy duty and is going up for auction 75 miles away in Columbus...  Road trip or no???

    I love it 

    Looks like a butchers chopping block 

    However I would remove the wheels and then place some Sorbothane under the legs and also under the TT

  6. An album first released in 1970 

    The last album from this band and probably the best 

    When released the band had essentially disbanded 

     

    Apparently- Future Blues’ May have been the first album to show ecological concern.

    The inside cover was of the band in a redwood forest and it called for the saving of the redwoods. The track “So Sad” would cover as well the ecological topic.

     

    A fantastic album with some memorable tracks 

     

    Artist - Canned Heat 

    Title - Future Blues

    I need to get a restart of the new plinth for it - but work commitments are keeping me form that job

  10. I have a treat for King Crimson fans 

    Just arrived today in the post one day earlier than expected 

     

    This is a bootleg LP with a track that is unreleased &  I wanted to have it for that reason 

    The track is Dr D and also the LP Title 

     

    So happy that a fellow member Mike. @dirtmudd that gave me a heads up on one available in Australia 

    Thank you Plastic Passion Records in WA 🤟

     

    This is a live album called Dr D primarily recorded in Atlanta - 23rd June 1973 

     

    Just playing the album now and loving it as it’s not a studio album I have noticed some wonderful nuances with some improv

     

    Artist - King Crimson 

    Title - Dr D Atlanta 23rd June 1973

  11. The early AC / DC band had different members 

    I can’t remember what lineup I saw 

     

    Im pretty sure they played it on one of the gigs 

     

    @JohnJ  - Some homework - are you familiar with the Aussie band called Skyhooks 

    They were also fantastic and were big here at the same time as AC/ DC

    A real character got taken down today.

    A c*^p d'état got officially destroyed over the weekend!

     

    G' Day mates !!

    Hope the weather is better today down under @Full Range !

     

     

    Seen them live a couple of times in the mid 70s - before they got famous 

    We ( a couple of mates and I ) traveled an hours drive to Sydney for the gig 

     

    Did the same thing for the Alice Cooper open air concert but that’s another story

  13. Next up 

    Recorded between the making of Are You Experienced and Axis Bold as Love

     

    This album is very funky psychedelic rock, that is very free flowing 

    This album with Jimi Hendrix is with Curtis Knight

     

    Quote from something I read - 

    When Hendrix signed up with Chas Chandler in the UK, Hendrix seemed to forget that he was already signed to Ed Chaplin in the US. After coming to the US to play at Monterey and subsequently tour with the Monkees, he hooked up with and agreed a jam session with Curtis Knight with whom he had been working with prior to the Experience. The session was supervised by Ed Chaplin.

    Hendrix agreed to these recordings as he felt some obligation to Knight and Chaplin, but he didn't want his name used on them and this is pretty much ephemeral psychedelia.

     

    Artist - Jimi Hendrix with Curtis Knight 

    Title - The Wild One

  14. Something different from me, although heavy metal is not new to me 

    A double album first released in 1991, but my LP is a 2014 reissue 

     

    It is the first time I have heard this album 

    The softer tracks like Nothing Else Matters are very well done and in a similar vein to Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin 

     

    I read that it was not received well when it was first released by the fans because it was to commercial 

    However as it the first time for me I find the album a finely tuned piece of work 

     

    And I believe that this release is the beans selling album 

     

     Artist - Metallica 

    Title - Metallica

  16. @Yuper 

     

    Now the introductions are done I’m keen to see what’s in your record collection 

     

    I started this thread to see what records other like minded people have and to catalogue the collection on Discogs 

    Maybe something for you to follow 

    So start spinning and post what you are listening to 

     

  17. Just now, Yuper said:

    Analogue is in. Like the thread. Have sbout 20 ft of vinyl - my kid always want to bring his pals over. They like the older stuff

     

    Glad you have joined us - like you I have never considered ever selling my record collection or my Garrard 401 

    Charge the young ones  an entry fee 🤟
