Yes, and apologize if my hasty and unskillful writing left you with any impression I was unhappy. Quite the contrary. I do so much appreciate the information I get here from you and the other members about what’s worth trying now in an older and more open minded frame of mind. Will try/re-try those recommendations. in fact, even if I don’t wind up really liking things I still get a lot of fun out of trying and do enjoy the dialogue. You know what I mean. |
@dayglow Thanks! I’ve got a copy of “Soundscapes “ on order. I do know Yellowjackets pretty well and agree. Fun music. Have quite a lot of fusion and other progressive stuff generated in the 80’s. I should have said that for me new offerings of Jazz & Classical never grew tiresome. I’m curious though. We’ve read with interest about your most excellent record collection and your most admirable approach to getting through it relatively systematically, but are you buying many new records? |
Mainly buying used or sometimes sealed original pressings from the 70's and 80's from all genres. My 90's to current music is 98%+ on CD which is fine. Many releases from the CD era 1992 and later do not sound any better on an OP or even when reissued/remixed on vinyl. The current problem with newer/recent recordings on vinyl is the availability(pre/back order) and then add cost/pressing and sound quality. FWIW-Have about 1600 vinyl records including duplicates/poor condition and no longer want. Eliminating these would drop it to about 1475. An estimate would be I have played close to 60% of at least 1 side of my entire vinyl collection. |
