The radio segue was king (still should be these days), and radio air checks transferred to discs are, for me, actually a delightful slice of the history of radio. I think the software for removing/adjusting sound should be as readily available as the bass and treble controls on your “hi-fi” have always been. For me, removing something like, for instance, Garcia’s vocals from “Dark Star” or just about any vocal that Zappa decides to yap is a godsend.

I’ve got software that removes vocals that I’m happy to have, but actually going in and “cutting tape” is another thing altogether.

Alessandro Alessandroni – Incontri Molto... Ravvicinati Del Quarto Tipo

A 1972 LP from Alessandro Alessandroni and Oronzo De Filippi

Nice to hear someone include Dallapiccola in their mix.

Sure, I understand it under normal circumstances, but he's kinda got a "reputation," so I took it the more expensive way. I think many years ago, when I first saw one of his sales, there were these restrictions that just put me off ever ordering from him. Anyway, best of luck to him. Sure wish it to be sold to a young, creative.

Oh. OK, I guess I'm being thick, but it doesn't really say that, but it makes more sense than £30/disc to the U.S., I guess.

Yeah, it would've been nice to see him sell it to a younger person who appreciates the label. Still, even tho it's the last sale, £120 for a minimum order is a bit rich for me. I'm happy with the 100 or so titles I already have, so I'll leave it there.

Yup. They have three albums. https://www.sachal-music.com

I think “cool” could be looking like you’re either in a scary looking cryogenic state, or simply one where you look like you’re enjoying a drink beside the pool. That’s probably the crucial difference here.
