  1. 1988 Elektra reissue 

     

    Exceptional sound on this Elektra reissue. Defined, rich with supreme clarity and smooth delivery. Super punchy, realistic drums you can feel and beautiful midrange tones make the guitar work really cut through. Vocals are lush and intimate and the bass is profound. I’m very impressed with the sound on this 80s reissue. Quite a stellar pressing, no flaws to speak of. I definitely recommend this pressing.

     

    Comment from Discogs so well described this pressing I had to copy it.

  2. Crisis situation with a friend at work this week. He bent the cantilever on his Clearaudio Virtuoso cartridge. It's not fixable 😬. All is not lost though. He picked up a new Sumiko MC cartridge 😄. I gave him a hug and said my prayers are with you!

    You're living in your own private Idaho

    Living in your own private Idaho (oh)

    Underground like a wild potato

    Don't go on the patio

    Beware of the pool, blue bottomless pool

    It leads you straight right through the gate that opens on the pool

    You're living in your own private Idaho

    You're living in your own private Idaho

    Keep off the path, beware of the gate (your own private Idaho)

    Watch out for signs that say "hidden driveways" (your own private Idaho)

    Don't let the chlorine in your eyes (woah, woah)

    Blind you to the awful surprise (woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah)

    That awaits for you at the bottom of the bottomless blue, blue, blue pool

    You're livin' in your own private Idaho, Idaho

    You're out of control, the rivers that roll

    You fell into the water and down to Idaho

    Get out of the state, get out of the state you're in

    You better beware

    You're living in your own private Idaho

    You're living in your own private Idaho

    Keep off the patio (your own private Idaho)

    Keep off the path (your own private Idaho)

    The lawn may be green, but you better not be seen (woah, woah)

    Walkin' through the gate that leads you down (woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah)

    Down to a pool fraught with danger, it's a pool full of strangers

    Hey! You're living in your own private Idaho

    Where do I go from here to a better state than this?

    Well, don't be blind to the big surprise

    Swimming 'round and 'round like the deadly hand of a radium clock

    At the bottom of the pool

    I-I-Idaho, I-I-Idaho

    Woah-oh, woah, woah-oh-oh

    Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh

    Ah-ah-ah-ah

    Ah-ah-ah-ah

    Get out of the state (ah-ah-ah-ah)

    Get out of the state (ah-ah-ah-ah)

    You're living in your own private Idaho

    Livin' in your own private Idaho

  4. Local propaganda led off with Record Store Day. There he is holding a Taylor Swift album. Hope he didn't forget to pick up his pink Crosley Cruiser to play it on. 🤣

  5. Dark Side of the Moon 50th clear vinyl delivered today. Ordered it months ago. 2 albums. Can only play one side. Sound quality is top notch! Much better than my late 70s MFSL. And the clear vinyl with the silk screen printing looks mesmerizing on my Ortofon cork mat!! 😆

    @Klipsch104db How'd it sound?  Anything of substance?  Only saw a couple I really wanted but they only had 3 of the one.  Blah.  Just another over-rated day in the land of vinyl.  I was eyeballin the Neil Young release but I think I've got darn near all of his now.  They did say they had 100 copies of Taylor Swift's drop yesterday!  😂

    Sounds fantastic! Looks even better. Did a good job mastering it. Worth the $25 I paid for it. The last song on the album, Think About It has a Dazed and Confused sound to it. Some are already on Ebay selling at inflated price. I couldn't tell you if they had any Taylor Swift. Wasn't on my list.😅

    I have this feeling that my luck is none too good

    This sword here at my side don't act the way it should

    Keeps calling me its master, but I feel like its slave

    Hauling me faster and faster to an early, early grave

    And it howls, it howls like hell

    I'm told it's my duty to fight against the law

    That wizardry's my trade and I was born to wade through gore

    I just want to be a lover, not a red-eyed screaming ghoul

    I wish it'd picked another to be its killing tool

    Black blade! Black blade!

    Forged a billion years ago

    Black blade! Black blade!

    Killing so its power can grow

    There's death from the beginning to the end of time

    And I'm the cosmic champion and I hold a mystic sign

    And the whole world's dying and the burdens mine

    And the black sword keeps on killing 'til the end of time

    Black blade! Black blade!

    Bringing chaos to the world we know

    Black blade! Black blade!

    And its using me to kill my friends

    Black blade! Black blade!

    Getting stronger so the world will end

    Black blade! Black blade!

    Forcing my mind to bend and bend

    The black blade

    Forged a million billion years ago

    My cosmic sword goes on for eternity

    Carving out destiny

    Bringing in the lords of chaos

    Bringing up the beasts of Hades

    Sucking out the souls of heroes

    Laying waste to knights and ladies

    My master is my slave

    Ha ha ah ha ah ha!

    We have it, just the way it used to be? Wooo. Why can't we have it baby.

    'cause I'm a man, I got my pride, I don't need no woman to hurt me inside,

    I need a love, like any other; yeah. So go on and leave me,

    Leave me for another! Good lovin' gone bad, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

    Good lovin' gone bad, bad, bad, Good lovin' gone bad; yeah.

    Baby I'm a bad man, now, now. Oh yes,

    Yes indeed, indeed I am.

    Oh oh oh oh yeah, gone bad. Oh oh oh oh.

    Now I'm a man, I got my pride, Don't need no woman to hurt me inside,

    I need a love like any other, So go on and leave me,

    Leave me for another. Good lovin' gone bad, it's gone I say,

    Good lovin' gone bad, now now now, Good lovin' gone bad, yeah yeah yeah

    And baby I'm a bad man, Good lovin' gone bad,

    That's what I want to say, Good lovin' bad, good lovin',

    Good lovin' gone bad, Oh, baby I'm a bad man,

    Good lovin gone bad, Good lovin' gone bad,

    Good lovin' gone bad, I'm a sad man, Don't stand in my way,

    'Cause baby I'm a bad man, Yeah, yeah, yeah.......

    Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

    Wooo

    Listening via the Superscope s212 which I moved to the listening room, powered by the Willsenton R8 tube rolled with complete set of JJ. Electronic valves including a quad of EL-34 outputs.  Vintage vinyl via speakers of the same decade.   Here is the LP and a vibe photo of the listening space with the new speaker arrangement.  (Martin Logans under cover at the moment.)IMG-3139.jpg

    Did you go with JJ EL-34 Blue Glass?

    Good Evening,

     

    I am searching for a warm sound 6L6 tube amplifier that use only one pair of tube to use with my Forte/Quartet speakers, could you help?

     

    To replace my 2watt, sch.... amplifier, it could be integrated or power amplifier, thanks

     

    best regards 

    Quicksilver Horn Mono. Website says discontinued but they will build a pair. Ships with EL34 but 6l6 can be used also.

    A great Australian band that was in there prime when I was a teenager 

    Reformed later and were active till around 2014 when Doc Neeson died 

    And I was privileged to see them a few times before they got big 

     

     

    I heard Marseilles about a year ago on a local FM radio station for first time since I was in high school in the early 80s. I just picked up Face to Face album on ebay for $10. I bet they were awesome live!

  15. Bought me a box of french cigars

    Bought me a black beret

    Get my french from a girl next door

    Teaching me night and day

    Got me thinking 'bout the south of France

    Vis-a-vis vous

    Pack my suitcase, take a chance

    Got nothing to lose

     

    Gimme the sound of the rolling dice

    Gimme a whiskey, don't think twice

    Deal me the card that takes my blues away

    Take me away to Marseilles

     

    Fast train, jet plane, money to burn

    Don't ask no reasons why

    Drinkin' champagne, playin' cool

    Don't even have to try

     

    Gimme the sound of the rolling dice

    Gimme a whiskey, don't think twice

    Deal me the card that takes my blues away

    Take me away to Marseilles
