Lynyrd Skynrd - Street Survivors.  Play grading this one as I thought it would go to the bin since I have the MFSL, but this sounds surprisingly good.  It's a repress with the modified cover.
The MFSL One-Step Blood On The Tracks has been sitting unopened in my on deck bin for a while. I promised my girlfriend I'd wait for her to come over to play it. Unfortunately, with covid-19 and other things going on we haven't had that opportunity.
Well Jim, I found a German 1977 pressing with the original cover on Discogs described as NM for a reasonable price, will compare it to the others.  Funny, I paid $25 new for the MOFI just 3 years ago, now they are listed on Discogs for over $100. 
Follow up to my previous post, apparently that guy did eventually sell his records to the person who now has the largest record collection in the world.
Hendrix - Band of Gypsys, brand new 180 gram vinyl, really noisy. The music sounds great, but the noise is distracting. 
Heart - Little Queen. Trying the VPI Classic and Kiseki Blue NS with the Manley Chinook. Seems like a nice match! 
I'm curious why you would have a dedicated table just for 45s. I have some 45 RPM LPS. It's pretty easy to change the speed either move the belt a notch or some have a switch.
Uber, it sounded really nice, but it sounds great with the Pass XP-15 also. I think my technics sl-1200 mk2 sounds better with the Pass. Maybe I'll leave things like this for a bit. 
@spiritofradio Tagging seems to be a bit hit or miss, but when I tried tagging you I hit the @ sign and started typing your nickname and it came up.  Seems to work with mine and uber also.
@spiritofradio Are you on your computer? Tablet/phone? When I use the tablet, I have to double tap after typing a couple of letters for it to work. 

The 1200 is great, listening to it now with a Denon DL-301 MK2 cart. I have a new (to me) VPI Classic 2 showing up tomorrow.
Play grading my other copy of 10CC - The Original Soundtrack.  This one is close to NM-.  I guess I didn't need to buy a new copy of it.
Got the new (to me) VPI Classic 2 set up (which was more involved than I realized it would be) and mounted the Kiseki Blue NS on it. SRV - Soul to Soul
Listening to Led Zeppelin I now. Sounds great so far! Uber, it has a Classic 3 tonearm with the Nordost Valhalla wiring. 
Oops! You guys all look alike on the interwebz. Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters playing now. 
Bob Dylan - Blood On The Tracks. This one's a recent 180 gram pressing, sounds great. Love the guitar in Tangled Up In Blue.
