MicroMara Posted April 6, 2024 Share Posted April 6, 2024 After them I changed to Mott The Hoople, any idea what does it mean ? and finally ......Chase was an American jazz-rock band. On August 9, 1974, Chase was traveling by plane to Minnesota for a gig at the Jackson County Fair when they ran into bad weather - in the subsequent crash, Bill Chase died along with band members Wally Yohn, John Emma and Walter Clark, and their two pilots were also killed 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWSmith Posted April 6, 2024 Share Posted April 6, 2024 Ok friends.......yes, been a while, but stopping by with some vinyl to spin. This time from the audio showroom. This album I bought NEW in 1978, I think played it only a couple times in that year. So, this is the first time spinning it again in all these many years! Guess you could say the Rega is set, table cloth and all . 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted April 6, 2024 Share Posted April 6, 2024 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.

GWSmith Posted April 7, 2024 Share Posted April 7, 2024 Have returned and reporting in as promised. Got the re-released Marillion 'Clutching At Straws', a double 180gram. LP set. It's time for the Martin Logan Classic 9's and Dynamo 1600X to handle the 2.1 audio duties. Parasound Halo 6 pre and A21 amp waking up the showroom . Seems Photo Image is currently down, so I will send along the photos later. 🍷 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with what my friends down the street (VIVA TUBES) had ready to ship. I HAVE bought from Tube Depot for my ham radio needs ( Trio of 811's) and from Penta Labs in CA. for a trio of 572-B's for my RF use. There are 9 tubes in the R8, so it was a big expenditure to change out the whole set. I am very pleased with the JJ. E NOT alternative to Russian OR Chinese. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great lp. Nuttin like sittin here and not being able to upload squat cause the post image site is playin games. Grrrrrr. Getting an ear full outta the 3 that just showed up. Blah,, Adrian Smith & Ritchie Kotzen, Gary Clark Jr's. "Jpeg Raw", and Walter Trout's newdrop "Broken." Firt time thru the S&K lp left a lot to be desired. 2 tracks I enjoyed and the rest of it was slammed together imo. Left me hangin... Especially since the ones I ennoyed were the last two on side one. I'expected more creativity on side 2. Smith/Kotzen is the self-titled debut album from rock musicians Adrian Smith and Richie Kotzen, released on 26 March 2021.[1][2] "Taking My Chances" was released as the first single from the album in December 2020.[3] It was followed by "Scars" in February 2021,[4] and "Running" in March.[5] Now I wonder WHY it just dropped in the US? It wasn't a restock or maybe it was. Hmmmm... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon as it comes back I will put up my session from tonight. Walter Trout........I purchased from HIS website the last double LP set he recorded JUST before his health issues. Also have some of his others on CD. His organist reminds me of...... me LOL, we have the same Hammond Organ style and since I was in a top blues band, for my listening pleasure, I got hooked on Walter and his band since we were very similar in style. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted April 7, 2024 Share Posted April 7, 2024 Well, my Marllion LP has concluded. I am going to drift off for the evening with some digital streaming for a while, but I will return shortly. Keep on listening and enjoying the music my friends! 🍷 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted April 7, 2024 Share Posted April 7, 2024 Funny @Mossy bottom I remembered that "Taboo" lp you posted the other day. The one w/the volcano on it. Had to chuckle. You muist be ancient! 😂 😂 😂 MY parents had it. j/k j/k They did though. I thought it was different but good in it's own way. I was too busy jammin on Motown! lolol @GWSmith Walter is great. He lives almost next door to a local guy I grew up with. He moved outta Duckburg to Texas for some reason years ago. Lives almost next door to him. He brought Walter back to Duckburg with him for our Bratwurst Festival when his parents were alive. lol The twist was the guys dad was a dentist and he worked on Walter's choppers for free. Met him several times when he was up here w/Jerry. That was 50 years ago prolly. Today Walter's son is playing with him. He stopped in Cleveland a couple years ago and I almost went up just to bust his balls and check on how his teeth were doing. hahahahaha I told Jerry and he said I should have told him and he would have hooked me up. Think I wouldn't? You KNOW I would. He's a great guy. Yea, kidney trouble or something darn near killed him but man he can bring the heat. That place he played held about 3k and they were sold out. Jerry's into old Victrola's in a HUGE way. Some beautiful pics that I've seen. Guess he and Walter spend a lot of down time together now too. Jerry said he has some 76's Walter had made somehow to play on his old stuff. Crazy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
