Whats on your turntable tonight?

Squeezing in one more this evening.

Pink Floyd “Dark Side Of The Moon” Harvest US 1973 first pressing

I didn’t hold out much hope this disc would be playable. I played it way too many times on a cheap Garrard turntable with an equally cheap cartridge. Much to my amazement, after a thorough cleaning, it’s magic! Analog in all its glory.

Only thing I can figure is the old stylus rode high in the groove leaving the bottom intact. My current cartridge and its stylus ride much lower in the groove essentially missing the wear above.

Nice to hear Aimee Mann is releasing her latest on vinyl James.

Cream - Wheels of Fire

Hawkwind – X In Search Of Space (United Artists [original with log book] 1971)

Thanks Greg.  I read the Wikipedia on "I'm Not In Love" and it provided much insight into how they made the recording and created the sound.  I especially like how they got the secretary to record, while whispering, "Big boys don't cry".  I'll play it again today or tomorrow and listen with even more intent.

Thanks again.
