Thanks to all of you for your kind words and support.
I recently added an interview with Stanley Booth, the guy who
wrote the insider's view of the Stone's '69 tour, was hanging
with Otis Redding as they laid down "Dock of the
Bay" (a few days before Redding's death) and lived the
music as a journalist who wrote about Gram Parsons, the Delta
blues and much more back in the late 60's. Also added, an
interview with EIL, the UK rare record dealer, and a very
basic guide to buying used records- most of which may be
common knowledge to seasoned vinyl collectors, may be helpful
to those who are just venturing in (or returning) to vinyl
and want to discover older pressings.

I've just begun a series of related articles, interviews and album reviews on the Island "pink label" era. Once complete, the series will provide a fairly in-depth look at a label whose artists, producers and releases gave us music that was not just influential, but changed the shape of much of what we listen to today. http://thevinylpress.com/island-records-the-pink-label-era/

Excellent!

At the risk of entering the fray, I posted a "thought piece" about
'purist' recordings, the primacy of the source material and notions of
playback "accuracy.' My intention is to provoke thought, not
controversy. [url]http://thevinylpress.com/listening-to-recorded-music-a-
