Whats on your turntable tonight?

James,

Did you get The Fruit Bats "Siamese Dream" lp?

Greg,

Did you have another place to set up the WOW or put it in the same spot as the VPI?

Boz Scaggs – Dig Label:Gray Cat Records – GCV 4003 Format:2 x Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, 180 Country:USReleased: 2016.
i think this version sounds great.
It is very warm with some fat bass at times.
It is my favorite Boz Album. I just love his vocals on it too.,but it doesn’t have pops and cracks like some new albums have ,and nit is pretty quiet too.
The only problem some might have IMO is with some low freq rumble or noise if your table isn’t well isolated, cause their is some thick heavy bass.
I* saw an interview with Boz a couple of years ago. somebody from LA was interviewing him ,but I cannot remember who.. He said he thought it was maybe their best album in his opinion. But he said it was doomed..
WHY ? SEE BELOW
In the summer of 1998 Boz went on tour as the opening act for Stevie Nicks. After another hiatus from recording, his next album, Dig, got good reviews, although the CD was released on an unfortunate date – September 11, 2001

Wonderful pressing, very dynamic with very deep but controlled bass. Cleaning was needed, as per other comments, looks like pressing release agent , nothing serious. Once cleaned,very low noise pressing , but otherwise but with confidence and enjoy!

Sounds amazing! Clean flat pressing. Dynamic with a nice sound stage. It has a full, warm, rich and expansive sound. when it arrived it needed to be wet cleaned. After cleaning it sounds great.

I don't have a personal experience with this Box Scaggs lp.

Steve,   The smashing pumpkins covers?No I didn’t.   I know you’ve posted about it.  Will check it out.  I don’t know anything about Smashing Pumpkins except that Corgan is a big Rush fan.  Which, after what little of their stuff I’ve heard, led me to think theirs was a mostly commercial enterprise.
