Sonic Youth -- "Battery Park, NYC: July 4th, 2008

Great recording, but this is the second bad pressing  in a row (lots of noise, and not the good kind, especially on side one), so back it goes. Will have to settle for streaming this one on Qobuz evidently.

Thelma ! 

the store i worked at carried the Sheffield and Windham Hill discs. They were $30 in the Eighties. I had a few enlightened customers and found my way to Thelma and beyond on my way to building out what i called the poor mans HQD system.

Monk at Carnegie playing now

Spencer - We were a Signet dealer. They had high standards on setup tools, test records, microscope, training, etc. I greatly benefited from that. I skipped a step or three and went to a Dynavector Ruby..but the Signets were loved by many.
