That UK is a fantastic album - top marks on that purchase 

 

@WillyBob

 

Been on the lookout from my regular sources for some Gentle Giant - I need to get some releases on vinyl 

 

I have several from my childhood. I will try to listen to them when I get a TT.  ThreeFriends, Octopus, Freehand, Interview, Power and Glory

Haven't heard Mike Oldfield in a long time.... that LP was the only one I've heard too.

In the right "environment" around 1980 with the Exorcist movie still fresh on our minds that was one wild ride!

From another Klipsch Forum thread 

 

Shure will exit phono cartridge production 

 

 

Shure is discontinuing its turntable cartridge range

 

 

May 2, 2018

In its heyday the company was producing around 28,000 cartridges a day.

American audio company Shure is discontinuing all of its phono products this summer.

Announcing the news via its website the company explained, “in recent years, the ability to maintain our exacting standards in the Phonograph Cartridge product category has been challenged, resulting in cost and delivery impacts that are inconsistent with the Shure brand promise.”

Shure has been making pioneering cartridges since the 1940s including the first cartridge capable of playing both 33 and 78 rpm records, as well as design innovations such as the needle-tilt principle which minimises record wear, and the trackability engineering concept.

At the height of its production, Shure was manufacturing roughly 28,000 cartridges a day, 25,000 of which were made at its phonograph production plant in Arizona.

The company will discontinue production of all models in summer 2018
