Whats on your turntable tonight?

@slaw  I have been trying to find Joe Cocker 'With a Little Help From My Friends' for over a year.  All I can find is NM/M- used for $400.  I have searched for a Speakers Corner release and can not find it.  Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you. 

Starting to compare my copies of Shawn Colvin "Steady On" 33 prm and the Maxi-Single 45 rpm.

Will check speed with my Sutherland Timeline/VPI ADS

I should mention that this 33rpm lp is the most played lp in my collection, so I’m extremely familiar with it.

Even so as I bought a spare copy.

Just listened to "Steady On".

After hearing the 45rpm first, the 33 sounds a little slower and the volume output slightly less.

(I kept the volume the same at 10 o’clock.)

As far as SQ differences, I’d say the 45rpm is more open, whereas the 33 rpm is definitely a warmer sounding lp.

Both are very enjoyable.

This record has been my go-to for years in evaluating system changes. It offers everything minus brass/piano

@reubent,

Your evaluation of Supertramp seemed more dramatic than my experience with Shawn.

I’d recommend some speed evaluating tools. Not to be snide, these tools will be more investment that your tt.

These audible differences are much more noticeable when one moves up the upgrade path.

Side two of the 45 rpm Shawn is "Steady On" acoustic. Wow! Then "Stranded". Again, slightly more open, not a big deal.

I saw her at a local club, totally acoustic, 25 years ago.
