Pete Townshend - "The Iron Man" ... again!

I love Pete Townshend and I love this album. I typically listen to it straight through, as it is the soundtrack from a musical. Now, being the soundtrack from a musical, some of the tracks do not stand on their own. However, there are at least 2 tracks that I feel do stand up very well on their own. If you like Pete Townshend and/or The Who, check out these two tracks from Pete Townshend's - "The Iron Man"

"Dig"

"A Friend is a Friend"


Gilbert & Sullivan, D'Oyly Carte Opera Company - The Mikado ‎(11x Shellac, 12", Album - His Master's Voice, 1918)

So this is a hoot. These belonged to Herself's grandfather. I swapped in an Ortofon M78 on my modified 12" Jelco 750 and was pleasantly surprised by how good these sounded. First time playing 78s on 401 #2. She loved hearing them again, both as a reminder of childhood visits to grandfather's basement, and when she performed the show many years ago.

Shannon Lay – August (Sub Pop 2019)

Orange vinyl, mostly clean and silent. Very good SQ. Nice album.
