I am spinning this album now, a pressing from Holland, A&M AMLM66702, and the sonics are incredible. The whole 4th side just gave me goosebumps, the song Fool's Overture, This song samples Winston Churchill's famous "We shall fight them on the beaches" speech, made during WWII. The part sampled is, "We shall go on to the end... we shall fight on the seas and oceans... we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be... we shall never surrender." This is just incrediable music.My wife had a listen for a few minutes which turned into playing both albums, all sides. Today the the moon is aligned, the temps are at 20.9 centigrade with 45% humidity in the listening room and music is right on target.
Have a nice Sunday spinning some vinyl if you can.
Ciao,

0.25 euro fleamarket finds on a 7.50 euro TT i found at the same fleamarket, a Technics SL-D2 DD with Technics 270C cart. The dustcover is missing and the clip holding the arm in the armrest is broken. Otherwise 100% fully functional and cosmetically 90% after polishing. The SL-D2 does nothing wrong objectively, it spins rock solid on the strobe, everything works, the arm has no play, it's dead silent. Subjectively i miss the analog 'mojo' of a good 70s TT,say a Pioneer Pl-12D. Nitpicking, the headshell alone is worth the price.

Whoever owned previously played the hell out of it. After a long L'Art Du Son soaking it sounds pretty damn good.
Just picked this up yesterday. BN 5040. So cool. Also got Miles playing composition of Al Cohn on prestige 154.

a very nice set of Sibelius Symphonies IMHO, also includes an enjoyable performance of Kullervo.
Of all the ex-Dolls, JT is my fave.

Great album!.. Do you have Live At Max's Kansas City? I have not heard it for years...wondering what you thought of it if you have it.Cheers,
I've got two versions of L.A.M.F , though, and reordered the tracks a la L.A.M.F. Revisited on one version.
Thunders was what rock n roll is all about--loud, fast, sloppy, and great fun. Too bad he met such a depressing end.

i should dig out the max's one again. I recall I really liked it. So alone is great.
Eloy - Floating - German Harvest pressing. Excellent soundMC5 - Back in the USA - US Atlantic - rockers sound a bit thin but ballads actually sound pretty good.
David Sylvian - Gone to Earth - Nice ambient LP. I picked this up due to his work with Fripp (The First Day). Good both soundwise and musically.
...on the Basis 2500/Nagra/Verity system:RCA LSC-2400, Ballet Music from the Opera
Decca SXL6691, Stravinsky Rite of Spring, Solti/CSOIn the Highwater Audio Room:
June Tabor and the Oyster Band, Freedom and Rain
RCA LSC-2400 again (I just wanted to hear one track on this system)
Shankar, Violin Ecstasy
The Cut and Dry Band, Cut and Dry #2Sunday morning is the best time if you want them to spin your records. We played whole sides in the Verity room. The session at Highwater was more abbreviated, and we had to switch to some other stuff as more customers came in.
It's a reissue, but an absolutely smokin' record. Bartz, Maupin, Ron Carter, Lenny White. Amazing.
Something I came across the other day.
A truly great album in my opinion. The "fuzz folk" description on www.allmusic.com is bang on in my opinion. Their other on On Avery Island is really good too in my opinion.
Saw them at the Knitting Factory in the mid 90's. Had no idea Jeff would basically disappear soon after that. As a band they were really a bunch of musicians from the Elephant 6 collective backing up Mangum.Ahh if I could go back in time, really pay attention and soak up every note and bit of his amazing vocal. ;-)
