    “Swastika Girls” still sounds amazing nearly 50 years later.  
     

    Fripp also produced and appeared on the Roches’ first album.  One of my favorites.

    Nice 701. A Dual 701 or 721 would probably somehow fit into my collection. But I' m still busy with maintenance of my 1218.

  2. I´m good, some work tomorrow, but then i want to wash some of the used vinyl that I got my hands on lately. Then there will be a long weekend, four day<, that i want to use and get some work done on the Heresys.

    So just keep the dust outta there before you slide that record in and it's all good (in my mind)!

    That´s just it, JohnJ. I bought these used, and while the LPs themselves are ok, the sleves, outer and inner, are really used and i´m notr sure what has accumulated in the inner sleve in 40 years. So I´ll put the LP inside a new inner sleve and keep the old one as well. 😉

    I think it's hilarious that ppl actually "grade" the covers.  Yea, I get it but do ya really, I mean REALLY, look at the cover?  Gimme the moosic!  😂  Gonna do a lil spinnin shortly :)

    Yeah, sometimes i do... But then, i bought these used, so i care more for the vinyl inside, like You say. If i want nice covers, i buy new or mint. But most of my LPs is music I wouldn't necessarily buy new. It's more like seeing how i like stuff i haven't listened  to yet and hey, they're cheap so it wouldn't hurt too bad if I didn't like something. But this hasn't happened to me yet with anything i bought. I think this is a fun way to build one's collection. 😁

    Feeling guilty... Let me explain why. Some of you will know that in the past two years I started buying vinyl records again, new and used, and I was in need of additional storage. I used some apple crates up to now, but wasn't completely happy with those.

    So this morning, we went to a local thriftstore, where they sell used furniture. I found exactly what I needed. A small, massive pinewood cabinet to store cds and vinyl records. I rolls on 4 wheels of a quality they don't make anymore. I used some wood re-newer on it to bring back its shine. It has a nice patina. I live in wood home, something quite rare in Belgium, btw, so it fits the style of our house.

    So why guilty? In that thriftstore they charge per metre, so I paid €1.8 for it. That's not a typo, I paid less than 2 euros for it!

    My teenage daughter cleaned out her wardrobe, so I'm going to bring the clothes she grew out of to the thrifstore, to set the balance right... Some of the clothes she wore just once... Imagine listening to a vinyl record just once... What a shame would that be.

    Anyhow, glad with my new vinyl records storage cabinet on wheels.

    Wasn't that a stereo rack anyway? Looks about right to carry a small system, no?
