With a mind capable of doing all of that, you could probably be a physicist of something.

Yes there is. You sir, rock.

Side 3 of the mid 70's Prestige two-fer "Gerry Mulligan & Chet Baker ". Nice. And I'm not usually a "West Coast" kinda guy. Next up: BIG John Patton - Let 'Em Roll - BN Rare Grooves Series - "Wally" in the deadwax... Here we go....Oh yeah... I'm noddin'

Yeah...you're right you know... :bwallace2:

Thanks Jim... Hey! WTF!! There's no "Fast Reply" button in this thread...? There was over in the Hammond forum... Upgrading?

I was just looking at the pictures thread. and Jim: whadda ya mean you play the bass with your left hand? I thought you Hammond Organ cats did that with yer feet? (Oooh, I really like this fast reply box... )

Bee Gees Greatest wow...this record sounds awesome. I played Side 2 first, beginning with "How Deep Is Your Love." The first note was a totally warm-sounding bass note. This record sounds great.

I've got that one comin' in the mail... but it ain't mono... and it ain't from 63rd St... I think it may be a Frenchie...

I have it and make no hesitation recommending it on Lp. Classic did a great job on this one, at least on mine. I also like the Classic pressing of One Down, One Up and that had a nearly 30 minute Side 1. Sounds fine. :tup

ARIC!!! ARE U OKAY!!! Your sentence just cut off...like you had collapsed or something...

Another thing I have learned about the mono button/double Y-cord thing is that it can also help cancel out some of the surface noise. I wouldn't really recommend listening to stereo recording with these engaged. Won't the Out-Of-Phase stuff disappear? That's kinda what's happening with the surface noise reduction. It could make things sound all whooshy too...

It sums the two channels. Just like using the double-Y cord set-up I suggested earlier in this thread. Have you tried it yet? Works like a charm.

According to a recent post by Chuck, he says that these last few years have seen so much in print, more than at any other time. Even more than "back in the day." I think I'd have to agree...

My comment about everything looking the same is in regard to the artwork. Just that same damn red artwork on all the cds, box, booklet...no identity. That's what I like about the individual albums. All that cool cover art/graphics.

I've had it for years and have largely ignored it. I would go through periods of being interested in it, but it is just so big and imposing. And everything looks the same. I would recommend listening to this set just a "session" at a time. I've actually been getting into this music more as individual albums as I've been picking up the OJCs and mid-seventies Prestige/Milestone two-fers of this material on Lps for the last year or so...since I got a turntable last year. I've had a tt just over a year and I already have over 1200 Lps!!! I have no self-control...

Dire Straits - 1st album - WB

mono signal played through both channels, but with the high frequencies attenuated in one channel, and the low frequencies attenuated in the other channel. It sounds like

Ewwww, I mean they sound like they're...ewwwww....

Whoa, after that first song I started to jump up but then remembered I'm playing Lps now, not 45s...

Eagles - 1st album - Side 2 "Train Leaves Here This Morning" - smooooooth and warrrrrrrrmmmm.

Are these needledrops?

What's the extra material on the domestic cd?

It's morning-time, so I'm rockin' my sweetie as she gets ready...my usual morning routine... Today I'm spinnin' 45s.... Right now: Ready For The World - Oh Sheila Thumpin'! Earlier: Rod Stewart - Crazy 'Bout Her I dedicated it to her... heh...

Yep, I hate the reverb he used on his 50's recordings at Hackensack. It practially ruins the Blue Train date for me. And a couple days ago I was listening to the 2cd Conn set of Introducing Kenny Burrell. On his first album date, on that song, is it "Takeela" or "Rhythmorama"? The part towards the end where Candido Camero and Kenny Clarke go into a percussion break...hell, it was pinging and whooshing all over the place! Sounded like shit! And there was some piece of equipment in his chain that caused an oscillating sound in the reverb...I hate it, hate it, hate it! Listen to Lee Morgan's and Curtis Fuller's solos on Blue Train. Arrggghhhh!!!!

It'll just sound not quite right... So, should we give you examples of cds/lps with fake stereo? mmmmm.... On the Capitol cd of Pink Floyd's "Works" there are fake stereo mixes of "Arnold Layne" and "See Emily Play." Got a copy of that? Cuz that's a good example...
