On the album cover...  And did a quick inspection.....  It still looks almost new... Just some mold spots... That where not removed...  It sounded nice.. And dynamic with some great bottom end..  Until it hit those spots.... 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtmudd 21315 Posted March 4 All things you put me throughWhat the hell you want me toDo all the things that uncle JohnJ needsI ain't the dog that bites the hand that feeds me    2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnJ 5942 Posted March 4 And here's the culprit of that chewed on record, with me and Dylan in the background at a cookout in the early 00s. Apollo did hundreds in damage to a good portion of my treasured LPs one day when I didn't play with him for a half hour outside before I left for work at 5:00 am. Not sure where that kid is now, used to ride on the dog's back and did that day too. Could not hold a grudge against a super hero though, he would growl at parents when they disciplined or yelled at their kids, good thing he listened!  4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnJ 5942 Posted March 4 Another one out of the box tonight. Synchronicity. Saw the Police at the Omni this tour! "Oh My God" has an interesting percussive beat with subtle different tones to it that this pressing and the F3s make you hear them in a better way.  Could be that it's just not that often when I can blast the rig anymore, high noon on the pot just make my Klipsch sing!  3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
