In Reply to: Is it my imagination or were Windham Hill vinyl pressings... posted by DevillEars on April 16, 2007 at 13:12:19:
I picked up Michael Hedges first LP on Winham Hill. The thing had no inner sleeve, some minor basement water damage on the bottom of the cover and cost me a inconsiderable $2.00.I promptly cleaned it up on the VPI 16.5, and then gave it a spin. It played in NM condition!
The sound is pretty impressive, as is (was) Michael's guitar skills!

Follow Ups:
It's an excellect *audition* LP as well IMHO which is a good excuse to listen to it more often. :)

... "Aerial Boundaries" (1984) was his second album, and "Watching My Life Go By" (1985) was his third...He was killed in an automobile accident in 1997...
Some Hedges trivia:
As the music itself suggests, “Hot Type” was inspired by the sound of a typewriter and was originally titled “IBM Selectric II Correctable Typewriter”, however, IBM’s lawyers wouldn’t allow Michael to use the name. So he sarcastically changed it to “Mood Music for Corporate Lawyers” and eventually settled on it’s final title ("Hot Type"). In the old days of printing, all type was cast into metal, called “hot type”, similar to the hammers on a typewriter.
A great talent, no longer with us...

Everyone gets free advertisement from having duped people into wearing their t-shirts...people sporting billboards from Coca-Cola to snow-board manufacturers.Why the occasional, "You can't do that?" from people like IBM? Free advertisement is free advertisement (although I do my best not to be a billboard for corporations).

If I had more money I'd soon be broke...but I'd have more LPs!
