Hello Martykl, thanks for the suggestions.

Do you own the two solo E records ("A Man called E" and "Broken Toy Shop")? I believe that they are among the most perfectly realized pop albums I own. I also thought "Blinking Lights" was-by a very long measure- the best pop/rock release I heard last year

I do not own the two E records you mention but will start looking for them today.

I've been searching various Euro web sites for the LP version of "Blinking lights," but have had no luck so far. I purchased all the Eels works on LP but the first few titles are getting difficult to find. I have not seen any sell at Ebay for less than $100.00 once shipping is added. All offered seem to be in Japan.

Bander, who originated this thread mentioned Emmylou Harris. I love her too but was particularly obsessed with locating "Wrecking Ball" on LP. Daniel Lanois was her partner on this album and I am a huge fan of his. The copy I finally found was in the hands of the president of the Emmylou Harris fan club. That signed copy set me back $225.00 but well worth it.

I'm a bit reckless when it comes to software, I'm slow to swap hardware :^).

Bill Frisell, James McMurtry, Aimee Mann, anything by the Finn brothers & Cassandra Wilson.

One more Steely Dan vote.

I was wondering if the message in "Everything Must Go" was that it was the end. But with the tour over the summer I suppose not.

I saw them once in 1974 when it was all good. Seen them 3 times since and the sound system has been unbelievably bad. Didn;t go this year as I didn;t want to be dissappointed again.

there are a number of classical artists and jazz artists that i like. pianists such as glenn gould, martha argerich, ivo pogorelich, conductors such as ernest ansermet, mravinsky and a bunch of harpsichordists, such as pierre hantai, christopher rousset, trevor pinnock et al., would not have to be screened before buying a recording.

recordings from artists such as wes montgomery, art tatum, barney kessell, oscar peterson et al. would not have to be screened for content. if i had a question about the sound quality of a label i was unfamiliar with, i would want to assess the sound.
