Just picked up Jane Morgan/Fascination at Goodwill a couple weeks ago. The stereo version KS 3017 was released later then 57' 1961? The condition is VG+ at best, SQ was better then expected. IMO her voice reminds me of Doris Day with a Jazz edge. FWIW she is still here on Earth at age 96!
Joe Walsh - But Seriously Folks...

This was a Japan pressing that I picked up recently.  When I put on side 1 and heard almost no noise and great sound quality I was really excited, but a little disappointed when I got to side 2 (the side with Life's Been Good) and there was noticeably more noise, although still a high VG+, close to NM-.  Apparently that side has been played a lot more than side one.  Still a great listen.

I am kind of amazed by this. Great music of course, a favorite since I was a little kid, but this mono record is filling the room with beauty, precision, and splendor. I’m only using the Hana SL, not a mono cartridge. Instruments and sections are distinctly separated, the whole room is a pressurized soundstage, and most incredible is that it’s playing only at 45 db. on my meter here on a quiet morning with Grey’s Anatomy working in the other room. I love my stereo.
Dr. Richard Strauss
Don Juan
Rudolf Kempe and the RP

from the same box

I always thought of Richard Strauss as dorky but I guess in my old age I’m becoming more of a music dork myself and am really enjoying this.
I find myself wondering if it would be possible to get through all 13 records in this box before feeling the need to put on some UFO...
