Ahhhh, it's nice and 65 in here right now on the south side of town. For you Mr. Prime Time DJ! Saw one scratch on one of them, it wasn't the M Wired!
-
Had this exceptionally clean... especially after the ultrasonic treatment 4.5v to the motor equals one LP revolution in 4.5 minutes. Ten minutes makes for "Five" minutes of cleaning all over the disc. Something I've actually looked for and the only price range I could do would be for NM- This qualifies as M with cover that I could care less about as long as it protects the record! Remember getting some without a "glove" unmarried? Yea I do and this record was fresh out then! Back in the 30s outside but it is Sunny inside tonight!!

I am here brother! Feel like spinning a couple up, heck wish I could! Ever heard of the Verve Forecast label? I knew Verve was serious jazz, but this stuff is flat out far out trippin' Getting groovy right now with a Classic: Who are the Flying Burrito Brothers? gotta look them up.

My brother has always liked those sometimes annoying puns... like they went on and on all afternoon. Convinced he's a bit of a sadist now too! Brought me a milk crate full of goodies and the two I was interested in the most seem unplayed! Lots of Allman Bros, Buffalo Springfield, Flying Burrito Bros, Jackson Brown and some unknown to me stuff. Pulled a few out and threw on the floor to give you a look at what it will sound like in the near future here. & he says "Oh you do know there are five of those 32" wooden crates full?" I pulled up our text history, scrolled to when this fun he is having with me started and it proves that he told me four crates then.

🤣, tell her we would get along famously Willie. Someone taking my plate while I was still eating might just get a fork in it!

Yep the news from that day could have been a lot different if someone with more HP than brains took out half a block of your aptly named spectators!

G'Day Paul! That particular Floyd has several good pressurized moments throughout! Reason I note that is it seemed like it had been so long since they had released new material when it came out. One of only two groups I've ever seen that used speakers in the mezzanine to create an even better sound environment for their show! Besides the flying pig a bed like that flew by that show. The "aeroplane" encircled the Dean Dome with their "Wall" set. Blue Oyster Cult was the other group, Godzilla's thundering footsteps slowly encircled the whole coliseum before he came in and that tune started!

Started yesterday evening and had a good go at it today with the non-stop rain since 6am today. With the exception of the Analogue Recording LPS, a half-speed Pete T., Tedeshi/Trucks & Crooked Vultures and the Thorogood I got all of these restored. Found a 45 in there.. a U2 my sister-in-law gave me long ago. No wonder it sounded so good, the old Yah I had you just pressed a button to get 45 rpms. The Pro-ject I have now I have to change belts. Nay Nay, I'll sleep on that! Spyro Gyra were rumored to play a downtown festival here... the first JazzFest. All of those festivals were the same... an excuse to drink beer & cruise downtown without getting arrested. Had to watch out for folks with baby strollers trying to run you over!! YellowJackets came here instead, Bobby McFerrin played close to the square that time, he was fun! Ultrasonic is the way to go, most of these were not really dirty just some surface noise, They look so bad because my RottnPit puppy got mad at me one day and apparently chewed everything that had my smell on it! Played a half dozen or more and besides looking brand new & the background is quiet, heck they just sound years newer now! Very happy with the results. That's not even one fourth of what I'll have to clean, and there's more incoming tomorrow!

Sounds like a nice way to spend a Saturday morning @Full Range ! Haven't played all that I've cleaned... Travers to ZZTop plus a few more scattered seriously used ones. Haven't posted all the pics, decided to give you guys a break. Just played that Gino Vanelli that was so out of sorts with everything I owned in the early 80s. I'm blown away by the nature of the improvement of that LP that I thought sounded decent and had since day 1 only been dry cleaned with my discwasher brush. The vocals and bass are most noticeable at first with every nuance of pressure put on the strings now evident. The sassy ladies background singing, the separation and soundstage have improved! Wow I've reached another plateau of audio nerd-dom

Memories...

making coffee, cleaning records, eating barbecue, making coffee, cleaning records, taping up sleeves..... maybe 18 done 200 to go

Well you're halfway around the world from me, but I know how lucky you are for picking LS over the other Heritage. And your modded bass bins... I saw the thread on that when I joined here a couple of years ago. ...Now I'm feeling a little lucky right now, jamming on some old Steve Miller that I have not heard in a decade at least. And no scratches on side one... nothing the ultrasound would not make sound pristine, my roomie says he's talented and let me crank it Bobbie Sue, whoa, whoa, she slipped away Billy Joe caught up to her the very next day They got the money, hey You know they got away They headed down south and they're still running today

I recall that listening to those Khorns in the early 80s & the stock barely used `90 LaScalas a year and a half ago that they were made for vocals and alto sax and horns! Ok this is the last pic of my new record restorer, and that's my new name for it! The Dickie Betts sounds good, rich bass..clean vocals and highs for being so old Live Allman Bros took up the other two slots. Still had some needle drop damage at the beginning of the only one I've played so far, but the smudges, finger prints and who knows what else the TurgiKleen took care of. Guess there's no fix for scratches, can't do magic. Drying them isn't fun, but the results are! These are waiting for me to go and dry off in the kitchen now. Homage to @Tigerman with my caramels, the coffee's gone so they're safe for the rest of the night!

Woodwinds & Brass, especially the saxophone are always nice
-
Thank You Paul, if I'm lucky maybe I can get them all done before 2021!! As for the recharge: the first Heart LP I bought was this one.. not exactly this one... I wore the first one out. Bought it for "Barracuda" & "Kick it Out" Love it 40 years later for the other excellent music on it.
-
A recharge is what I need, and will get soon, more to follow. Fedex came early today, it's almost 10pm now and I just got to open this up... The gauge of that cord handles some amperage, can't put it on the extension cord. I''l be doing close to professional LP cleaning soon.
-
The year? Just one? Didn't know it could be narrowed down like that!
-
Know all that brass sounds good at your place @Full Range ! @Dave1290 Yep music at the dentist, all of the above played in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Muzak or the channel of it that he had quit buying the records when the 80s came out!

Think I read they had 135mph winds and called it a bomb cyclone. Need PWK at times like this...... bs, think it's called a post tropical cyclone that far north with snow instead of rain, did it get a name? Cat 4 hurricane up north! Good grief. Seen one blizzard in my lifetime and I'm glad it went to 40 F the next day. March `04... 28" in the flat spot in the middle of the patio. Had to step on the coffee table to climb out of the sliding glass door `cause around the houses, cars, bushes it was four feet and more deep. Thunder, lightning and 55 mph wind that even hit Cape Hatteras that day! 14 here yesterday morning, didn't break 30, today we will!
-
Gotta test the motor, rest of the stuff gets here Wednesday they've got 1.5 gallon jugs of distilled for sale several places around so have to pick up a few and get started while it's too nippy for most anything outside for me. Got the first three candidates lined up already two new to me and the first mfsl I ever got. Hope the ultrasonic doesn't interfere with the wifi

Are those beans dried 'naturally" like just in the sun without being washed? That's close to being the honey process where the shell is taken off but that's it, the mucilage is left on (like the brittle thin stuff around a roasted peanut). That is terrific when started with good beans, got a 6 oz sample put in my last order of coffee and been on it for the last four days... will end tomorrow drat!
-
You guys would laugh at me being cold when I took the trash out at 6:30 this morning. It's 60F in the house at nighttime and I went outside in my sweatpants and a tshirt when it was 20F. I've got to tell you that I'm still pretty quick!
-
Well, I'll have to play the keepers! Janis huh? She covered the airwaves here a decade later in `79 Now this gals voice grabbed me when I heard them on tv doing spring break or something in the rain at the beach. Not saying there is any comparison except in female and the emotions expressed!
-
So plans got changed, some LPs will be here Saturday when the previously scheduled trip happens. Doesn't sound like it will even be a whole crate, but I'm going to ask if he's just planning on putting a stack in the front seat just to put a crate upright open to the back and put the seat belt on it! The spinner got here from Baton Rouge this morn, just need the tub and the tergikleen to arrive!
-
Heck Yea! My original pressing still sounds ok, and ya know what? I always noticed it was heavier than a lot of the other records I had. Some of these re-releases are really primo.
