I've always been a 2 from the Vault kinda guy but the buoyancy of this 8/14/75 gig is grooving me as the work day draws to a close.

she was really good. there were 50 people there, tops, in a theatre w/ a great sound system and acoustics. arty film backdrop.
if i was to offer advice to Mary, i'd say, "Mary, the harp is an amazing instrument, and you're a great harpist. Why must you feed it through that electronic gadget so so so so much? Let us revel more in the fantastic, unprocessed harp splendor. It is wonderful."

ian my man, if I sent you an MP3 rip of my copy of Homegas, could u listen and tell me if it is suffering from an off-center spindle hole? The needle sure sways from side to side a LOT when it is playing, but the rec is so weird sounding and unfamiliar to me that I can't tell if it's "supposed" to sound the way it does.

I saw pictures of this guy's collection on YouTube - including his NICE copy of SKINS by Les Baxter. Wondering if I should kill myself. He has LPs like "British Novelists Somethingorother".
I should off myself knowing I can't make a cup of tea, sit by the window at night and listen to this stuff.

At least -I- have a ProJect III to listen to my peed-on (but still priceless) copy of The Happy Moog on.

I just sold a rare boogie 12" to a guy in France with no problems! So far good communication and speedy payment, insured and shipped how he wanted.

Hey Guys, I actually had a cool ad on Facebook today, it was for this record! http://www.etsy.com/listing/167203609/travis-to-be-as-free-as-you-1975-vinyl?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social_promoted&geo=global&utm_campaign=fbx_rr_vintageI've never bought records from Esty but this record is well worth $18 for sure, nice soft rock rural harmonies with analog synths.
