Similar story with James Taylor My album was Sweet Baby James from 1970 but I’m just over 60 😎😎 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Yup Paul, we're gettin' up there . Meanwhile, Side B with a simple shot of the rear album cover art. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Paul, this is really a very sweet album! Highly recommended and nice wide sound stage! Here are a couple photos of the inner sleeve. One a very nice story written by James, with all those involved in the recording and performance on the right column. Flip side.....all the lyrics. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Rounding out my evening with this promotional NOT for sale copy of fine new age artists on the Narada label. Says 'Audiophile quality Virgin Vinyl' right on the front cover, I must say, it is a very quiet pressing. Here is the artwork on both sides of the cover. Good night Paul and friends, until the weekend.....cheers 🍷 🌙 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 3 hours ago, GWSmith said: ......onto Side B, and the rear cover artwork. This is actually a gate fold cover with all the lyrics within. And the text is no doubt big enough to read, unlike when the 12" LP art is shrunk down to fit a roughly 5" CD case. I keep a magnifying glass on the table beside the sofa now, for when I want to read the text on a CD cover. Even then, it can be too small, like with the 2nd Billie Eilish CD, Happier Than Ever. On the LP version of that recording, the text is quite small, so shrinking it makes it really tiny. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Johnny Winter double LP, Second Winter, also has only 3 sides of music. The text on the cover explains that they didn't have enough songs for 4 sides, but compressing the songs they did have to make them all fit on just 2 album sides would have forced the recording to have lower volume (lower bass volume in particular, I'm guessing), which the band deemed to be unacceptable, thus the 3 sides only. That makes me wonder about those K-Tel compilation LPs that had 10-15 songs on each side. It's probable that the cheap record payers that many of us used when we were teens weren't good enough to let us hear the difference between those LPs and the more normally recorded ones, which had a maximum of about 22 minutes per side. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full Range Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 A record that is probably best played in the morning rather than my evening spin Purchased this record as part of a bulk lot I can’t say it’s my preferred style of music but gave it a chance to impress me Artist - The Lumineers Title - The Lumineers Album ID - https://www.discogs.com/release/3577011-The-Lumineers-The-Lumineers 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossy bottom Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Absolutely blown away by this lp when it was released. It has aged very well. Eagles - One Of These Nights 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 @Mossy bottom yea, alllll of their stuff ages well. lol Pulled their new remaster out before I hit the Phoenix show and it sounded great. I actually neverr pulled out the original Hotel California to listen to. So the other day I pulled it and played it. Hands down the winner somehow. Although they did say when the remasters started that there will be some stuff left untouched. Don't sell your old stuff just yet! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Interesting to see today that Gilmour pulled all of his & Floyd's stuff outta the USSR. That's an awful big message to send. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dave, I haven't listened to them too much in the last 10 years or more. But, Man! They are sounding so fresh, and this album is so well mixed and produced.. I bought this lip when it was first released, and it's still pretty quiet...no cracks and pops...I saw this tour as well...my one and only time😢 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently disgusted by what is happening in the world: two of my three kids covid positive (mild symptoms, luckily) while nobody seems to care about covid anymore, skyrocketing energy prices with terrifying financial implications for the whole of Europe, and worst of all, a terrible war only 2000km away from my home, with intollerable human suffering.

If I was in control of applying sanctions- this is what I would do List the people behind the push and apply the following Monetary sanctions for each individual and government interests 1 - for every week “7 days” the incursion lasts they incur 5 years each for each entity So 4 weeks will be a 20 year sanction for each individual Seizure of property held outside of Russia - to rebuild any housing and infrastructure damaged during the incursion And compensation for loss of life My theory is Stop them from making money Stop them living off the cash they have accumulated Stop them from replacing that cash for a period of time Use their money to rebuild what they have destroyed 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
