All Activity

The Kennedy Center is no more.

Most solvents, alcohol, acetone etc. could damage the playback layer. The physical action of peeling it off could also affect it. I think I would use one that you'd be less unhappy damaging and trying alcohol first, acetone (some nail polish removers are pure acetone) second and see if that works.

Excellent.

"The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center" rolls off the tongue so pleasantly it almost flows like a piece of music in itself. /s

When the Decca Jazz Heritage series was revived toward the end of the LP era, it came with European mono mastering that was far superior to the dreadful "simulated stereo" of the original.

Back further in time. . . Bix Beiderbecke “Jazz Tribune” RCA 2 cd disc 1

Those are going to be pretty tough to work with. I suppose the best you can do is try to rip the disk as soon as you get it and keep backups in case of sticker failure...

I'm still looking/waiting.

Spinning a lot of Christmas tunes today... so far:

Quite right.

Cold, snowy morning. Had a nice leisurely breakfast with one of my sister-in-laws and brother-in-laws . . . well the food was not great but the company was. . . and now after a few episodes of Project Runway All Stars wtih my wife I’m in front of the system for the first time of the day. Starting off with Marcus Printup “Unveiled” Blue Note cd

I won't comment on this (as that would be political...) From the AP: The board of trustees voted to add Trump’s name, making it the The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts. Trump, a Republican, is chairman of the board.

Just hold everything up to a light. If there's even the tiniest pinhole, it's game over.
