well the cork mat might not stick, but you'll still have a pretty heavy electric charge which will affect playback.

I live in the rainiest part of the UK MG suit yourself. a decent TT mat is going to easily cost you half as much as this. what's another $20 in the grand scheme of the Vinyl hobby. buy one less record next time you are at the shop and it is covered.

Skip James - Devil Got My Woman (Mint) (Sealed) - $24 + plus shipping Mississippi John Hurt - Last Sessions (Mint) (Sealed) - $24 + plus shipping these are both vinyl reissues form record store day 2012. both are sealed in mint condition.

Thanks. You're undoubtedly right about treating the symptom, not the problem. Is an anti-static dry brush one of those that sits beside the deck and you put the arm on the record while it's playing? I've seen those and always wondered what they did. My turntable doesn't have a deck to stand such a thing on; the playing surface of the LP is about 4 inches above the level of the shelf on which the turntable stands, so a thing like I imagine you're talking about would need a little derrick to stand on I assume the brush cleans the record just ahead of the stylus, like you see the support people doing in curling matches. What does a zero stat gun do? MG an anti-static brush is just a brush that is properly grounded. they are still operated by hand. they are used for dry cleaning of LPs before playing. they'll take off loose particles of dust. They have some that even plug into an oulet and use it's ground: http://shop.mapleshadestore.com/Static-Draining-Record-Brush/productinfo/PHONO-BRU/ IMO this is worth every bit of $40. think about how much you have invested in your vinyl setup and your LPs. $40 to may playback massively more enjoyable is easily worth it IMO. the zero stat gun is is basically an anti static gun. kinda pricey but I've heard they work wonders. I've never used one personally. but basically if your LP has built up a static charge point this gun at it and pull the trigger and it basically releases the static charge. sounds hokey, but it is supported by basic science and tons of vinyl entusiasts swear by them. I've also hear having a humidifier to keep humidty up to a decent percentage helps a bit with static build up.

well getting a different mat is treating a symptom not the problem. the problem is static, and apparently lots of since it is causing th mat to stick to the LP. I think you'd be better off with a proper anti-static dry brush and maybe a zero stat gun.

sold. pending payment.

it's a cd edition and the package states that it is the limited edition of 7500. I bought it shrinkwrapped from a reputable local record store in exactly this condition. I'm not sure what other information folks would like. That's really all I know about it. If this post is somehow unwelcome I'm happy to remove it and post it on ebay. here is a picture of the rear of the item if that helps clear up any questions people have.

alt-country is pretty much the closest thing to "real" country music these days. the country stuff that is really popular is just pop music sang with a southern drawl. if you think country sucks go listen to some son volt, drive-by truckers, jason isbell, lucero, ryan bingham, justin townes earle, ryan adams, wilco, etc...

Joe henderson recorded three 5 star albums in '63 and three or four 5 star albums in '64. it's pretty amazing what some of those guys were albe to turn out in that era. I agree in this day and age 1 a year is enough. pretty excited to give this a listen.

second arrest in less than a year and he was naked at the scene? sounds like he is hitting the sauce really hard

I really dig this group, but this is just more than I could ever justify with all the other music out there that I'd like to get. really love the idea of each unit being hand painted by Bennink

where did you find this info? i've been digging around for it and I can't find it anywhere. not that I doubt you personally or anything I just wanted to know where I can find some info about release dates and when I can expect to get these in the US. really excited about the Douglas and Abrams sets. I received an email from CAM Jazz on 7/31. The release date according to the email is Oct. 9th. aweomse. thanks. I thought I was getting their email blasts. I guess not. oh well. less junk to wade through I guess.

just plain silly. I'm just not sure where they are going with these. I'd much rather see Blue note do what black siant/soul note has done and offer reasonably priced box sets of classic material. they better hurry up and get to it before the european copyright laws make their entire classic catalog fair game and all kinds of european labels start doing it for them. they've already started with shoddy stuff like this: http://www.amazon.com/8-Classic-Albums-Hank-Mobley/dp/B005BDZLYQ/ref=pd_sim_m_5. it'd be better for blue note and for fans if blue note does it themselves and gets it right (uses quality masters, nice packaging, etc.).

I've got a copy of The Complete Verve Gerry Mulligan Concert Band Sessions from Mosaic Records. brand new condition. This is still sealed but there is a very small tear in the shrink wrap, but it does not affect the box in anyway at all. $85 shipped in the continetal US. if you are outside the US contact me and we can discuss shipping. I am new around here but I have a long history on ebay and a few other sites. you can check my account on ebay: http://myworld.ebay.com/sksmith66 where I have 100% positive feedback and have been a member for the last 10 years. I have nothing against ebay I just prefer to do most of my buying and selling in established online communites like this. here is a picture of the box set for those interested.
