I've got them too, in my early days of jazz, all of the Holiday's that came a bit later

Great collection of Dixon's art of blues writing.

Definitely, the damage is up to the dealer

Not really tricky, but you must have a firm hand, a good sight and few specific tools, damaging it it's easy so I prefer the dealer doing it.

Recently I had my MC cartridge retipped, it may sounds obvious but an old MC cartridge, even if the stylus has few hours, needs a new suspension in order to work well. I noted it because before retipping my records sounded much worse then I remembered. So cleaning records is fine, but if the analog rig is not in order the records may seem much worn then they are.

Basically I don't get the point of remixing an album, I mean nobody dare to "remix" Joseph Conrad's novels. It is not like getting a better sound like a remastering, it's not like a new rendition or performance or translation. If we agree that George Martin was the fifth Beatles, a remix seems like replace Ringo's drums with his son's ones. Pointless IMO.

I kept my Beatles mono pressings and sold the stereo's, White Album including.

I mean the music business: whatever makes some profit goes. Just an observation, no judgement.

Do we need the landslide of vinyl reissues, BN, Beatles etc..? NO, not us, the music market does.

I am an Omega man, Speedmaster. I have a much cheaper Seiko, automatic not quartz, when I travel or I when I swim. I used to wear Swatch in my youth. I think watches, english and italian shoes, suits and shirts are an aesthetic statement, like spinning old records in a world of streaming, cell phones, sneakers and tshirt.

I am getting rid of tons of stuff I didn't listen anymore, keeping what I listen often and some stuff I like to own, tough I don't listen to it very often, so I guess I agree with the principle.

Overall I can't find a weak session on this set, I am glad I have them in other form, mostly vinyls.

I bought a VPI fully automatic ages ago, then I discovered that hand cleaning with these brush was much more effective then automatic cleaning with the onboard brush, I usually use another brush for rinse with demineralized water, so actually I use the VPI only for vacuum. BTW I use Miracle Record Cleaner fluid. I never tried the expensive ultrasonic machines that are praised nowadays.
