Whats on your turntable tonight?

@noromance 

@bkeske I bought an original to replace a missing record recently for the most I’ve ever spent on an album. $105. I hope it arrives safely from Europe.

Yea, I looked at a couple UK releases, but with shipping from Europe/UK they were equal or more, so found a store in the US. Really can't wait to hear this LP on vinyl. 

@slaw  lol, thanks.

In the grand scheme of things, some LP's may just be worth it if you want them bad enough. As a band with only 3 LP's, and somewhat a 'cult following', supply and demand equates to higher prices I guess.  

Capacitor swapped, ziltched pass transistor in the power supply regulator replaced and music pours forth from my speakers once more.

Deep Purple "Shades Of Deep Purple" Tetragrammaton Records 1968

@puffball08 handy with the soldering iron ! Good on ya !

@bkeske -Thanks Brian, and you mentioned Sandy Denny above, I came across one of her records in my flurry of cleaning the shed records.

@tomic601 - yeah, started my career working in a TV repair shop way WAY back when (when TVs were repairable) and made the switch in college to broadcast and post production. Haven’t put the soldering iron down for long since then. Wish I had a nickel for each of the XLR connectors I soldered over the decades.

@boxer12 - I noticed Ubu’s "The Modern Dance" above. My Ubu collection appeared in one of the boxes. I have both the Blank Records (US) and Polydor/Polygram (UK) versions. Haven’t listened to the Polygram pressing but the Blank version (Blank was distributed by Mercury who in turn is owned by Polygram) still sounds very amazing.
