Promo Pressings

frank: i don't have a quiex of rickie lee's eponymous album but i do have a 10" promo quiex of "girl at her volcano," which includes "under the boardwalk." never heard a better exemplar of "dynamics." another quiex promo to look for, BTW, is laurie anderson, "mister heartbreak." is there an lp you're especially looking for that might cause you to part with you quiex "hearts and bones"? -kelly

Kelly, I wish I could find a list of just what was produced on Quiex. If for any reason I stumble onto another copy of the Quiex "Hearts & Bones",its yours. (I am sure you are aware of just how great this underrated LP is. The "Late great Johnny Ace" cut is a masterpiece!).
I am familiar and also own the "Girl at her volcano" LP but don't have it on Quiex. Ultra rare to be sure. The Rikki Lee interpretation of "Under the boardwalk", is indeed a gem, and the most interesting version of this great Drifters classic. Now if I could only get the desire back to turn on my system. After the week from hell, I just can't do it yet........Frank

frank: i haven't had my system on this week either. i find it impossible to figure what to play. i'll keep up my collecting, tho. perhaps i'll get out to search through the dwindling number of lp bins. BTW, if you're a paul simon/simon & garfunkle fan, i have some things that might interest you. i bought out the entire collection of a japanese gentleman who was a charter member of the s&g fan club. several "japanese only" box sets and single lp's. great stuff. all first (and only) pressings, equivalent of promos. -kelly

If you ever get the chance for these three grab 'em as the sound is stunning- Hendrix/Electric Ladyland ( equals or betters UK Track pressing)Derek & Domino's/Layla (levels are higher) and Dylan's/Blood On The Tracks (the best harmonics if not pressing). Has anyone heard of a Neil Young Harvest as wlp? I second the comments concering Quiex, wish there were some Steely Dan's on it. (BTW-Katy Lied is pretty good too!).
Does anyone know what Audioquest used?I hear the Doug MacCleod Come To Find is excellent. I want one.
