Vinyl - Record Spinning


Full Range

Recommended Posts

My turntable is a Garrard 401 - production early year 2 based on the serial number -  that I have owned since the seventies but I am the second owner 

Over the years I have built a few plinths and added some enhancement modifications to the turntable 

However this last plinth and selective upgrades are a masterpiece for a DIY project 

Everything from the chosen timber and composite inlays at the coupling points to the feet and the unique way I have attached the arm board - all work to make this 401 unique

Just felt like some Jazz Fussion today 

Family has left me at home alone for a couple of hours 

 

So I decided to put on some Chick Corea 

 

Artist - Chick Corea 

Title - Inner Space 

Album code - Atlantic SD 2-305.    0698

 

A double album I picked up at a record fair sometime last year 

It's has some intricate hard bop elements and some avant-garde periods 

But above all it's constantly stimulating

time for a love song

Walking across the sitting-room, I turn the television off. 
Sitting beside you, I look into your eyes. 
As the sound of motor cars fades in the night time, 
I swear I saw your face change, it didn't seem quite right. 
...And it's hello babe with your guardian eyes so blue 
Hey my baby don't you know our love is true. 

Coming closer with our eyes, a distance falls around our bodies. 
Out in the garden, the moon seems very bright, 
Six saintly shrouded men move across the lawn slowly. 
The seventh walks in front with a cross held high in hand. 
...And it's hey babe your supper's waiting for you. 
Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true. 

I've been so far from here, 
Far from your warm arms. 
It's good to feel you again, 
It's been a long long time. Hasn't it? 

I know a farmer who looks after the farm. 
With water clear, he cares for all his harvest. 
I know a fireman who looks after the fire. 

You, can't you see he's fooled you all. 
Yes, he's here again, can't you see he's fooled you all. 
Share his peace, 
Sign the lease. 
He's a supersonic scientist, 
He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man. 
Look, look into my mouth he cries, 
And all the children lost down many paths, 
I bet my life you'll walk inside 
Hand in hand, 
gland in gland 
With a spoonful of miracle, 
He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man. 
We will rock you, rock you little snake, 
We will keep you snug and warm. 

Wearing feelings on our faces while our faces took a rest, 
We walked across the fields to see the children of the West, 
But we saw a host of dark skinned warriors 
standing still below the ground, 
Waiting for battle. 

The fight's begun, they've been released. 
Killing foe for peace...bang, bang, bang. Bang, bang, bang... 
And they're giving me a wonderful potion, 
'cause I cannot contain my emotion. 
And even though I'm feeling good, 
Something tells me I'd better activate my prayer capsule. 

Today's a day to celebrate, the foe have met their fate. 
The order for rejoicing and dancing has come from our warlord. 

Wandering through the chaos the battle has left, 
We climb up a mountain of human flesh, 
To a plateau of green grass, and green trees full of life. 
A young figure sits still by a pool, 
He's been stamped "Human Bacon" by some butchery tool. 
(He is you) 
Social Security took care of this lad. 
We watch in reverence, as Narcissus is turned to a flower. 

A flower? 

If you go down to Willow Farm, 
to look for butterflies, flutterbyes, gutterflies 
Open your eyes, it's full of surprise, everyone lies, 
like the focks on the rocks, 
and the musical box. 
Oh, there's Mum & Dad, and good and bad, 
and everyone's happy to be here. 

There's Winston Churchill dressed in drag, 
he used to be a British flag, plastic bag, what a drag. 
The frog was a prince, the prince was a brick, the brick was an egg, 
the egg was a bird. 
(Fly away you sweet little thing, they're hard on your tail) 
Hadn't you heard? 
(They're going to change you into a human being!) 
Yes, we're happy as fish and gorgeous as geese, 
and wonderfully clean in the morning. 

We've got everything, we're growing everything, 
We've got some in 
We've got some out 
We've got some wild things floating about 
Everyone, we're changing everyone, 
you name them all, 
We've had them here, 
And the real stars are still to appear. 

ALL CHANGE! 

Feel your body melt; 
Mum to mud to mad to dad 
Dad diddley office, Dad diddley office, 
You're all full of ball. 

Dad to dam to dumb to mum 
Mum diddley washing, Mum diddley washing, 
You're all full of ball. 

Let me hear you lies, we're living this up to the eyes. 
Ooee-ooee-ooee-oowaa 
Momma I want you now. 

And as you listen to my voice 
To look for hidden doors, tidy floors, more applause. 
You've been here all the time, 
Like it or not, like what you got, 
You're under the soil (the soil, the soil), 
Yes, deep in the soil (the soil, the soil, the soil!). 
So we'll end with a whistle and end with a bang 
and all of us fit in our places. 

With the guards of Magog, swarming around, 
The Pied Piper takes his children underground. 
Dragons coming out of the sea, 
Shimmering silver head of wisdom looking at me. 
He brings down the fire from the skies, 
You can tell he's doing well by the look in human eyes. 
Better not compromise. 
It won't be easy. 

666 is no longer alone, 
He's getting out the marrow in your back bone, 
And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll, 
Gonna blow right down inside your soul. 
Pythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moon, 
In blood, he's writing the lyrics of a brand new tune. 

And it's hey babe, with your guardian eyes so blue, 
Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true, 
I've been so far from here, 
Far from your loving arms, 
Now I'm back again, and babe it's gonna work out fine. 

Can't you feel our souls ignite 
Shedding ever changing colours, 
in the darkness of the fading night, 
Like the river joins the ocean, 
as the germ in a seed grows 
We have finally been freed to get back home. 

There's an angel standing in the sun, 
and he's crying with a loud voice, 
"This is the supper of the mighty one", 
Lord of Lords, 
King of Kings, 
Has returned to lead his children home, 
To take them to the new Jerusalem.

This record needs no introduction 

 

Artist - Pink Floyd 

Album - Dark Side Of The Moon

A little bit of mood lighting and then settle in for a nice listen 

The lighting is from a purchase that was made today at IKEA - It's a Harte LED light
