A little follow up on my post about the Steely Dan Gaucho record I mentioned in a previous post.

I wrote to Rare Records to express my disappointment and the owner, Charlie Essmeier, wrote back to me. He confirmed that his records are visually graded and offered a full refund, which I will take advantage of. He was very nice about the whole thing and offered some helpful information. He also offered to play grade any records I was interested in. I will give him another chance. It was good customer service on his part.

Well "Outlandos d' Amour" is a treat! The Police 1st lp sounding mighty fine. Looking back through my records, I don't own this one. From my memory, none of The Police sound this good. There's no edginess to Sting's voice. The midrange is perfectly suited for this music and transitions very well into the punchy lower mids to the low bass. Transients are tight and clean.

Up now "Reggatta De Blanc"

Glad to hear Greg. Is he on Discogs?

I actually had two good experiences on Discogs lately except for them leaving any feedback.

"Reggatta De Blanc" has very similar SQ. Nothing wrong here in comparison to the 1st lp.

Up Now... "Zenyatta Mondatta"
