Whats on your turntable tonight?

@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.

+1 Shades Of Deep Purple...great LP

@bslon -Yes, amazing record given it was 1968.  Bad thing is the record label, Tetragrammaton, was a shoe string operation.  Their pressings were made with regrind (recycled) vinyl to save money.  The surface noise of this record is horrible but the music is irreplacable.  Fortunately during the active tracks, the background noise gets cancelled pretty well.  But oh the lead in, track spaces and lead out are just horrible.

amie Mann vinyl makes $100  disc seem .... affordable 

Happy Birthday, Steve!
