My favorite Swirling Eddies album arrived today. Double LP reissue of the 1989 cd on cool red marble vinyl.
Limited pressing of only 300. The reissue is not even on Discogs yet.

Some classic Larry Norman today on my Infinity two-channel system. Fun, fun, fun 'till your daddy takes your T-Bird away!

The only vinyl I ever listen to is when I visit a friend of mine who has gotten back into it big time. If it wasn't for his half dozen big dogs to visit with (smallest is 85 pounds, biggest is 225)I would probably just talk to him on the phone. He insists that his LPs sound "10 times better" than any CDs. I guess if better is those crackles and snaps, etc, even with all the cleaning procedures, he's right. My favorite time I was listening to his stuff was when his biggest dog, Junior barked next to the turntable, and the stylus popped out of the groove and jumped about a quarter inch. I was done with vinyl as soon as I bought my first CD player in '84, good riddance.

Bear Family Records remaster. From Wikipedia: "Live at the Star Club, Hamburg is generally regarded as one of the greatest live rock and roll albums ever made. Recorded during his "wilderness years" following the fallout surrounding his 1958 marriage to his thirteen-year-old first cousin once removed Myra, the album showcases Lewis's phenomenal skills as a pianist and singer, which had been honed by relentless touring. He had played at Deutschlandhalle in Berlin the night before. In a 5-out-of-5 stars review, Milo Miles raved in Rolling Stone that "Live At The Star Club, Hamburg is not an album, it's a crime scene: Jerry Lee Lewis slaughters his rivals in a thirteen-song set that feels like one long convulsion. Recorded April 5th, 1964, this is the earliest and most feral of Lewis' concert releases from his wilderness years ...".[6] Q Magazine commented "This might be the most exciting performance ever recorded...".[7] The album was included in Mojo's "The 67 Lost Albums You Must Own!" - "[A]n unbelievably seismic document of rock 'n' roll so demonic and primal it can barely keep its stage suit on.... It's up there with James Brown's great live albums."[8]

Is that a 12" single of Got My Mind Set on you?

Is that a 12" single of Got My Mind Set on you?

The 45, which I found thrifting a couple of years ago.

So I put my OP of Foghat "Fool for the City" on today for the first time with these Kef speakers. Sheesh. Unplayable! Found it at an LP sale in a garage a few years back along with some Doobie Brothers, Guess Who, Steely Dan, Moody Blues, etc. It was a nice haul, but this one is way more worn that it appears. So I just bought a new one on Amazon. 2024 pressing, that is according to some reviews, pretty good. Better than the MoFi issue they say, which apparently sucks. It is silver vinyl, which is fine. Not a factor. I just needed a clean copy!
