  1. Cool! I've never seen this one before. Nor heard of Sam Lazar... Space Jazz, a Sonic Sci-Fi Opera by L. Ron Hubbard, Featuring Chick Corea
  2. Bundle, that's the way to go. If you buy several sets and have them shipped together, the shipping costs per set quickly diminish.
  3. After almost 2 decades in "sorta high-end" turntable music, I'm never going back to a belt-driven turntable. Direct drive is where it's at for me. And no more Moving Magnet cartridges. Only Moving Coil for this lp lover.
  4. Years ago I had one of those gizmos, a wireless fm transmitter where I'd pug my discman, and use a vacant fm frequency to reproduce the sound. It wasn't very good. I imagine that your mode isn't that much better. Have you thought about purchasing a new, modern head unit that would allow Bluetooth connection for your phone, along with a usb plug? The convenience of not schlepping cds to the car, and futzing around with stuff is out of the ballpark when using the BT for audio. If you are really into having just about everything available out there, there's the Amazon Unlimited music streaming service, which costs around $5-$10/mo., I think. You get access to millions of songs, hundreds of thousands of albums, any time you want , in the car, at the office, or by your pool. I might sign up down the road, but at this juncture I'm mostly all set with what's available for free with the Amazon Prime. They got like 5 or 6 Horace Parlan albums there, streaming for no charge. Takes seconds to hook up the phone to BT, and off you go. To drop a cd into ITunes on your phone takes about 5 minutes, nothing terrible. But I don't even bother with that, just shuffle stuff on my Amazon Music app, it's more fun imho.
  5. Technics SL1200 with a good mc cartridge, like a Dynavector, or another big name brand.
  6. 55,055 posts. Congratulations!
  7. This should've been Jsngry's thread. Not fair.
  8. Cover by Storm Thorgerson.
  9. Zodiac- the Soviet answer to Jean Michel Jarre, Space, Mike Oldfield, etc. Not bad. Sounds kinda dated now that I played it for the first time in 30+ years. Duuh...
  10. Thanks, guys. Never heard of them.
  11. One of my guilty pleasures...
  12. I can't believe he actually wore this when gigging. Well, this is sort of a space exploration.. Do icbms enter stratosphere?
  13. Who's on drums?
  14. Snapped this cover yesterday night , at a new, to me, record store. This is a perfect example of the mid-century stuff. Looks like 1 1960s grand-daddy to IKEA shelving units, along with various smalls. Check out the carpet!
  15. One bourbon, one scotch, one beer.
  16. 10QLP set in mint, unplayed condition. Box, booklet, records are absolutely pristine. From a gathering of top condition Mosaic sets I bought some years back, and never got around to listen to. SOLD
  17. Chris, I got to agree with Dolan 100% here. BT is so much easier to use in the car than cds, it's not even funny. I've resisted for a while, like some of you, but I'm a 100% BT convert now. Nothing like it for listening to whatever your mind feels like, on the fly. I've got Amazon Prime membership, which includes Amazon Music with streaming of pretty much anything your heart desires. Amos Milburn - no problem. Andrew Hill - there you go. Trane - complete Atlantic Heavyweight Champion set at tour fingertips. It's amazing. No way I'm bringing cds in the car any more. My discs always get scratched, cases get cracked, beverages spill on them. I don't need the aggravation.
  18. I've never been to a Target store.
  19. Ars longa...vita brevis.
  20. Bill Cobham on drums
  21. Touché... See, I told you $1,000 was a bargain. i
