Spirit is Fantastic; try the Randy Kalifornia "Whirly Birds"; [and "Potato Land" It is......well, different]; Yea, I like the Kapt. Kopter album but 'Potato Land' is a bit too cheezy for me. It has its moments but on the whole it is too novelty and silly to really appreciate it....

I agree; I have purchased Ortofons in the past for certain turntables without complaint; plus they were very reasonably priced.

Regarding the quality of unplayed discs from 1899 onwards: Early recordings, usually one-sided and often classical, were extremely expensive in their day. To see a $5.00 or even $7.50 price stamp,was not unusual, the prices then seem to have levelled off to $1.50 to $3.00 by the 1920's and even thro...

The turntables that I use most often, the three main turntables I mentioned in earlier text, were made to some exacting, and well, boring specifications; but each began with an already high quality turntable which I asked to have (3) things improved.

I needed a fellow to help my gardener inventory what was on hand and what was needed. Not so difficult, right? He is married, with a new baby, so I gave this kid the job. He had great difficulty in helping with the inventory, however. I foolishly forgot to ask if he could read and write. He can't. ...

I understand your Mercedes analogy, but like all analogies, it is a bit flawed. To keep a single automobile in "pristine" shape, or in music terms, "Mint-Shop New", is very different than carefully aquiring and building, over time, an expansive, inclusive, Archival, Library-like ...

I remember a cartoon that was placed in the Pharmacy I used years ago,

I was not at all pleased by seeing flag waving and demonstrations in the USA or the antidemonstrations in the Middle East.

(Actually, what I meant was, a "re-issue" should be exactly that or perhaps with BONUS cuts if on CD; to issue less than was first on the album is, in my opinion not a true "re-issue" as indicated on the hype-sticker). Speaking of "reissues", I received the CD "rer...

I agree with Redcloud's assertion regarding the decline of vinyl record quality in the 1970's. The late 1970's was a turning point in that the low quality of US pressings was endemic. MCA led the field in low quality, recycled vinyl. I have a 2nd release copy of "Who's Next" that has piec...

The overly Politically Correct stance of the Islamic "burial at sea" for a mass murderer who we have been told repeatedly is not a true muslim was a bit too much. If, on the other hand, this was a clever way to feed him to the fish and leave no martyrs grave, then I would say OK. The equal...
