Digitally speakin' I agree.

JOHN MARTYN SOLID AIR Island

Jackie McLean NEW SOIL, 47th west, mono. " 'BOUT SOUL, Liberty stereo

'Give me an F' 'Give me an U' ecc.. Country Joe MacDonald 'Woodstock' soundtrack

In my Liberty pressing I hear clearly 'I fillet Paul'

John Martyn LIVE AT LEEDS Island Far better then most Pat Metheny's records.

Absolutely! Don't forget THE ORGANISSIMO HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE JAZZ GALAXY and a towel

Personally I don't have to confess anything. From an academic point of view there are some big holes in pre bop era, vocal music and in the free jazz avantgarde of late sixties/early seventies. Years ago I decided I had to explore the land outside my preferred music, so I bought some of the 'essential' set like RCA Ellington, Hot Sive and Seven, Mosaic like Django and Bix, ecc. I don't listen to them very often, nor I acquired a better view of History of Jazz. I would say that the only set I regularly listen to is Billie Holyday. Anyway I like a lot of music after the 60's: Jarrett, Zorn, the electric Miles, ecc. It's the same for classical music, I can't dig most of pre Mozart music, and of Mozart I prefer his late works. Mahler and Bruckner are the other time border, after that I appreciate few things. I don't like Opera, a part Rossini and Mozart. I don't feel guilty about it. I am a music lover, not a teacher, producer, musician, critic, ecc.. You can put it in this way: An alcohlic is different from sommelier. BTW I have some Organissimo records.

What about THE CLASH? One of my favourite band.

Yesterday was St Patrick Day, I had a couple of pints of Guinness at the Irish pub in front of my home. I am a bit late now but: THE POGUES - Rhum Sodomy And The Lash - Stiff Records

S.Turrentine Rough and Tumble, NY stereo

Masqualero 'Aero', ECM Every time I put the stylus on a ECM vinyl I am surprised how dead silent they are, outstanding german technology. I think they are better then JVC.

BTW on 'Bert And John' there is a a great 'Goodbye Porky Pie Hat'. Those were times, when folk and rock musicians were looking at 360°, jazz, blues, classical, avantgarde,ecc.. Today's rockers look only at Beatles or Zeppelin.

So you should appreciate 'Bert and John', I 'll give a spin to my Transatlantic original copy later, after the Solti's Fourth of Brahms's symphonies

Beethoven Symphony 1/2 Karajan, BPO, mono DG vinyl. Just discovered the 'What classical...' thread, so I post it there too.

KIND OF BLUE, Columbia 6 eyes, mono. Wrong pitch, but as Sidewinder pointed out, 'if it was good for John and Miles, is good enough for me'.

Haydn, Late Symphonies, Dorati, Decca

Sad, really sad. I bought all his records I could find since I discover him 15 years ago

Mahler Symphony N. 8, Solti Decca

I use the Miracle Disc doctor brush and a natural spounge, but a VPI will be my next move as soon I move myself in the bigger house I recently bought.

Quadroshere stand? I presume you mean something like this: http://www.musicalapproach.co.uk/furniture...spire/index.htm I use a Finite Elemente Pagode

Agree, at least since we civilized people will start a dedicated Wine thread

I could have write the very same post, (maybe with some grammar errors in it).

My copy looks like the same of Brownie's. On the back of the gatefold cover there is "This album can be purchased by mail only...'

I fully agree with Claude: the Pro-Ject Debut IS the new TT and, at least in Europe, a good old Thorens IS the used TT. I had a long and happy relationship with a TD 166 with a Sumiko Blue Point before my today's Linn.
