Whats on your turntable tonight?

@beach2mountain, I envy you that.  Did you wear your custom earplugs...?

Porcupine Tree
In Abstentia 

The Floyd, Tull, Rush, and other influences are apparent but they wear them well. Great sound production on this record although/even though it is in in no way a live sounding production nor does it have an “in the room” quality that is sometimes important to close listeners. But it’s still very cool sound.

@beach2mtn, who did they have doing vocals at the show?

@elliotbnewcombjr  I have an original copy of the 1962 release of West Side Story, the original soundtrack recording on Columbia Masterworks.  The vinyl is VG+ (or better) and the jacket is VG++.  It was played numerous times on my parents Magnavox console so I am hoping that there isn't too much groove damage.  I am waiting to acquire an ultra sonic cleaner and will do a deep clean on this album.  Then, I hope to enjoy a real classic with (hopefully) little in the way of noise.  Awesome gatefold jacket with a bunch of great pictures of movie scene shots on the inside and a full size picture on the back of Natalie Wood and Richard Beymer.  A true classic from my childhood.
