When we go (and my wife have appointments on different days), we will both go to guard against such an eventuality. I was talking to a doctor friend this past week and he said that they have to convince many of the support staff in his office (it’s a large practice) to have the vaccination.

One shot is about 52% effective. Obviously two are best but one is better than nothing. DiBlasio can’t run for re-election so no votes are involved. I think many places are making you wait 15 minutes after injections to make sure you don’t have an anaphylactic reaction.

If you can. We’ve received notifications to book an appointment but can’t get one, at least not around here, NW New Jersey. My cousin told me about the Burlington vaccination center (about 90 minutes driving time from here) and after repeated tries we got one, but not until mid April. The rollout in NJ (as with many states) is chaotic. Different centers have different ways to remember. It’s absurd.

Brexit is hurting consumers and sellers alike.

That seems rather unusual. How would you even make it. Must have been very limited.

Good luck Lon. Hoping for the best with your father.

Glad to help. Many members, such as Lon and Dan Gould were helpful to me, so I’m glad to pay it forward, so to speak. If anyone else would like the pdf, please pm me with your email address.

I can’t copy the book on my copier as it’s too big. Since I’m going to Staples to purchase a new shredder I will take the book with me and copy it and turn it into a pdf. Please pm me with your email address.

Let me see what I can do. I have the set.

I’m not sure if it is as that’s a Mile Davis Prestige collection.

Someone listed various Prestige test pressings on eBay. The listings say they were the property of Fantasy Records. I wonder how they got hold of them. Here’s one of the listings. https://www.ebay.com/itm/293962166590

In a subsequent email I asked Scott if there were alternates takes, etc. but received no further info. I assume they’d like to keep that confidential until the set is announced.

You want Wall of Sound? This IS Wall of Sound. I’m ok with All Things. The record is a classic. I’m curious how it would sound otherwise though.

Only way to listen to Let it Be is Let it Be Naked, de-Spectorized.

You can’t separate the two.

Over at Hoffman, they had to close all the threads as they apparently became rather heated. One of the mods over there said “Please refrain from starting new or reopening old Phil Spector threads for now. They’re impossible to moderate, filled with hate and vitriol. We’ll figure something out.”

Yes, I like it but like you I’m unsure if it really reduces vibrations. However, if you have warped records, they’re supposed to be very effective.

According to his daughter he died of Covid.

Added this record clamp recently.

Sorry to hear. A legend. Fortunate to see him once.

I’m sorry to hear about your friend and the other people who died. On the vaccines, there appears to be very low inventory, if any, so who knows when there will be adequate inventories. We received notifications that we could make appointments but unfortunately none are available, probably due to inadequate supply.
