If they still have kangaroo courts in clubhouses, players will be fining those who lose ABS challenges in good fun.

I agree. Changing topic re Pink Floyd, the live recording of Pink Floyd, Los Angeles Sports Area, April 26, 1975, is about to be released - the recording includes early versions of songs that later appeared on Animals.  More details here: https://www.pinkfloyd.com/pink-floyd-live-from-the-los-angeles-sports-arena-april-26th-1975/  

Live 2007  

I recently spun the surround mix from the BlueRay of "Animals" and I was even less impressed by it than when i first played it years ago. So much more could have been done with this album using the full surround soundstage. This was a stereo LP that used phase to move stuff around in the stereo mix and yet when they made a surround version, they left each part stationary in discreet channels. I mentioned listening to this when I was stoned as a young man and the thing that used to be cool was the dogs barking all around you. They barked in front of you. They barked behind you. If you had headphones on, they barked inside your head. It was cool. The surround mix sticks them in one speaker and leaves them there. What a shit job they did when mixing this. I'd also add that as I have aged, the lyrics to these tunes really hit home. I've met so many pigs, dogs & sheep in my life and I realize that a large part of my life was necessarily "piggy", as was most anyone trying to make a living. Hopefully the stone doesn't weigh me down too much. I am not a big fan of Syd Barret era Pink Floyd at all. I rarely played them when I was younger & haven't found any reason to go back. If I'm playing Pink Floyd, it's usually "Wish You Were Here" or "The Wall", with "Comfortably Young" being my favorite Pink Floyd tune.

Albare “Beyond Belief” AIFI cd Some Les Paul slinging jazz feels just right right now.     Interesting defect on this cd: in the seventh track there is a series of tones for about two seconds that sound like someone's incoming smart phone call alert, LOUD.
