yep, we audiophiles should organize ourself, I mean mocking an overweight person is "bodyshaming", why mocking an oversound person isn't "audioshaming"? Clear discrimination here imo. WE ARE AUDIOPHILE AND WE ARE PROUD!

I do not have a SACD player BUT I tried one Linn, now out of production, some years ago and it was excellent. I think that the best SACD players are stereo only aimed to "audiophile", at least is my thinking.

It seems to me that the biggest error about AZ vaccine is that EU governments, for whatever reasons, overtaked the Scientific Authorities, EMA, etc.. Now if I'd have a scientific board I'd listen to it rather then headlines or the fears of my voters. It is also true that the relation AZ/EU hasn't been great because the affair of the supposed doses hijacked to UK and the cutting of supplies for EU. The quoted above NYT article is mainly correct IMMV.

Unless one wants spare the gym fee...

The only suggestion I have is do not listen to boring music, so you will be awake at the end of the side.

I saw that medium price for a single volume is around 150 $ on discogs so it was a bargain anyway. For me a little too big bargain in these times if you understand what I mean 😁

Of course not, I meant the total, more then 100 of taxes and 40 shipping if I remember well, so I passed

It was few bucks less then 500, so I passed.

I am tempted, thanks Chuck!

First heard of him on Peanuts, Lucy maked fun of Snoopy about Aaron beating Ruth HR records before him.

In Italy Prime membership is less then 50 € per year. I did a small research: in Italy Prime sellers may ship through Amazon logistic, and they are charged somthing like 3/4 € for normal size item, or may ship by their own and they have to fullfill the Prime standard: speed, trackability, ecc..

I am curious how a seller may ship for free with prime, any clue?

As seller I used to compare different options, there are tons of shipping one can buy online, a part standard postal shipping, dozens of different parameters, weights, sizes, countries, registered, unregistered, etc.. At the end I could offer different options: the cheapest, the cheapest and fastest, the cheapest and most secure shipping, something like that. It was easy and friendly. And buyers were happy they could choose the shipping they prefer. I spent a couple of afternoons trying to fill the form of discogs, no way, it was impossible to fit the best shipping options. So I guess every sellers chosed one standard shipping that usually rised the cost.

Expecially small sellers like me. I always found good deals on shipping with buyers. Maybe I am naive but I miss the times when buyers and sellers talked to each others in order to get a satisfactory deal.

Eddie Bert sessions

Agree, I was one of the sellers pissed of by the new compulsory shipping policy, totally nonsense, after that I am done with discogs.

Nice one

Wikipedia reports that in 2001 Harrison wanted to remix the record in order to remove most of the reverb, but EMI vetoed it.

I was okay with Let It Be since I listened to LIB Naked...

I like Spector's work on some Lennon records, I like it less on Harrison All Thing Must Pass.

I think I am going to listen to Let It Be and Let it Be DeSpectorized again.

I think it depends on who printed the records: mayors have a direct access to SIAE so they incorporate the mark in labels. Indies have to apply the stickers though I am not sure. There were lots of troubles about copyright fees between artists and SIAE in the past. In general SIAE was convenient for broadcasters because they had general agreements with only one part, less for not so “big” artists. Now internet changed the playground.

Actually I don’t know about stickers’ policy but I checked in my books and records: all imported records have stickers, on label or cover or shrink wrap, old domestic LP has SIAE printed on label, like GEMA in german records. Recent books don’t have stickers, old books may have it. Sorry if I wasn’t very helpful.

I am not really acquainted with all the later works but I can’t remember a sloppy Sonny’s record of the fifties or sixties.
