Looking to get TT

Zaikesman,Wow you are quite the collector. I don't do 45's I have always's said you can't have it all, and I do not try.
About the Crusaders you are quite the Guru, I don't know anything about the Jazz crusaders only that Joe and Wayne must have been part of the band. Was I incorrect to state that 2nd Crusade was "The Crusaders" 2nd lp?

Yes, I have unsung Heroes first ed on blue thumb/N/M. I bought it new many years ago. I also have Chain reaction , Southern comfort, and Scratch all on blue thumb. I have played them many times. In fact after I finish this I am going to spin some Southern Comfort.

About the Kinks, I sold off my older items last year on ebay The only 2 older ones remaining is The Kink Kontroversy, but it is on a PYE 1965 UK mono pressing / MINT and The Kink Kronikles 1972 brown reprise USA press/ N/M
I need to listen to those as well been a while, to many swirls.
Why are you a Dork for having a Japanese unsung Heroes LP or was that a joke or something?
I will checkout the threads tomorrow and get back to you
bye for now.

Yeah, it was a joke...I'm not a 'pressings' hound (though I really do have it :-) And I'm also glad you didn't take this offline; Records are the reason we have record players (and the reason we have records, hopefully, is music).

As far as I'm aware, you are not incorrect about "2nd Crusade" - but then that would seem kind of self evident, no? The Jazz Crusaders not only had Sample and Henderson, they also had Hooper and Felder - the same group of childhood friends that formed in Houston at the end of the 50's. Their first LP ('61) contained the title track "The Freedom Sound", which they reprised on "Unsung Heroes" over a decade later - still a great, haunting tune. Their 60's material was mostly released on the Pacific Jazz label, including the popular string of "...At The Lighthouse '6_" live albums, and much of it was re-ished in various packagings and labels during the height of their 70's fame.

Those Kinks LP's are both great (the Kronikles is a collection of latter-day Reprise material released after the group had moved to RCA). About their vintage stuff you must've had and sold off, the less I think about that the better! ;^)

Ron, I have the Kinks "Schoolboys in Disgrace" on Japanese also. I agree that it is my favorite Kinks album. Side 2 just knocks me out!

I don't have the DCC Aqualung.
I don't have any vertigo swirls either.

Guess I'd better start getting with the program!

Oh, I agree with Z that is about records and music and I appreciate a discussion of what music people enjoy, albeit a different topic than which began this thread. Sorry, it is just that the listing of titles, pressings, and conditions seems to often degenerate into one-upmanship. And where does that end?! :-) Now, if we are discussing our opinions of best sounding pressings of a particular title, let's compare!

BTW, I do own the fourth pressing of the second re-release of Led Zep 4. A classic!

It is refreshing to argue about records instead of gear for a change. How about let's us analog guys stick together. We are a smaller group than the digital brigade, so we have to represent ourselves in a way that will make people want to come aboard the "analog wagon". I like a good argument as well as the next guy, but between ourselves we should present a united "analog front" for the readers. Do you think that is a good idea?
