We've been stripping wallpaper so not much vinyl spinning the last few days.

Finally go to my new Iron Butterfly album.  But first...

Iron Butterfly  "Heavy"  My original copy from 8th grade was toast so I got a VG+ copy some years back to replace it.  Cleaned it today in the Degritter and it's fairly good and quiet.  The music brings back some wonderful memories.  It's actually my favorite from the band.

Iron Butterfly  "In-A-Gada-Da-Vida"  MoFi issue, Supervinyl.  I'll say, that Supervinyl sure is wonderful.  I think that MoFi did a great job capturing everything from the original analog tape.  Very good depth, separation, and every instrument is very well pronounced.  A bit tilted up, as Steve had said of his period press copy, but only on a few songs on side 1.  Overall it's very acceptable.  The album is an absolute classic and I am very glad that I got this new issue from MoFi.  Really, it sounds quite good.  Now I need to get a VG+ or NM/M- copy of "Ball" and my Iron Butterfly collection will be complete.

Dinner, then a Clippers NBA game, and more music later tonight.

Saint-Saëns, Orchestre National De France, Jean Martinon – Symphony In A / Symphony In F Urbs Roma (Angel 1976)

Side 1

Joel - our strategy right or wrong, has been to move when wallpaper is involved...
