Whats on your turntable tonight?

@gpgr4blu  Yes indeed, I saw Summer of Soul this past weekend.  It was fantastic and I am so glad the video was resurrected.  I'll have to play my DVD of Woodstock sometime soon.

@big_greg  please do let me know how your Srgt Peppers album sounds.  Mine is standard black vinyl and is dead quiet.  The packaging is outstanding but the SQ sucks, very thin with no real depth of warmth.  Very disappointing. 

James - temps warrant a nice Chardonnay, like an idiot - I have a Boomtown Syrah open - out on deck watching sun go down - windows open - Tom Petty blaring 

Joel, I liked mine, but it does have that "Japanese EQ" if you want to call it that. It was super quiet, but a little on the "bright" and "analytical" side. I wouldn't consider it "bad", just different. 

Speaking of The Cate Bothers: On one of Levon Helm’s post-The Band tours the brothers were the core of his band. Levon was at the time recovering from his throat cancer surgery (heavy smoker), so wasn’t singing. The Cate’s filled in, as did Levon’s daughter Amy. I saw the show at The House of Blues on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, and Levon’s drumming that night was the best I ever heard from him. Genius.

on the thin Japan vinyl a clamp may provide better sonics…..
