I don't know of any vinyl shops in the area (I wish I did!) there's a local used CD and vinyl spot (Happy Trails in Corvallis) but they don't deal with any new stuff. I just bought two NEW LP's from www.musicblvd.com - Sonny Boy Williamson's "Keep It To Ourselves" (Analogue Productions) and Jewel's "Spirit" (Atlantic). I wanted to see both the quality of a new release and the quality of a good re-issue. The re-issue of Sonny Boy's was very good except for a pronounced hiss with words starting with "S" - this bordered on static it was so pronounced. I also have the CD version and the same hiss is conspicuously absent. The coarsness of the hissing makes me believe it's definitely in the recording and not a speaker failing to perform. The Jewel release (2 lp's) was pretty nice, but the two lp's were both slightly warped and were very quiet - in passive mode, it takes a LOT of volume knob to bring it to a listening level that I like. The overall reaction to new vinyl was inspirational to say the least. Turntables are definitely cool!On a different note, did you notice the sunshine yesterday?
