Just love this on two fronts, first I love Garrard 401 decks....I used to work in radio with a pair and wish I had bought one when they were affordable and two I have to approve the record choice as a Dutchman.

For many years I have been using a green/red German copy of "Tubular Bells" as my "go to " album for setting up systems, turntables etc....It contains allsorts of challenges for a system to reproduce well and of course it has so soring female vocal s of power near the label , so it is great to check alignment etc.

A few weeks ago I came across a "Roger Dean" label Dutch first pressing and had my eyes opened even further. This is a really first class pressing that is crisp , clean, clear and has great dynamics....I have been enjoying this copy on a regular basis and today is no exception.......

Heard this on an episode of Lovecraft Country the other night and have since listened (on repeat) to Moses Sumney's work.

Kind of kicking myself for not immediately recognizing the sound of Thundercat's bass on this.

Acquired yesterday from a great mail order shop in Berlin......The Yes album that is well Yes but not Yes ....still it is a good listen and has all the ingredients but not all the members.

Jazz rock fusion....just the thing to chill out in the garden to on a nice sunny day .

Sunny here too, but a bit too chilly (7C / 45F) for my liking.

Here in The South Netherlands, it is 29C and sunny .......I'm not that far south but I am "landlocked" and that helps push the temperature up at this time of the year.

Excellent choice!

I had to wait a long time to own this but now I have a copy and I find it a great listen. I was so pleased to find that my contact in Berlin had found me a white label promo copy!

Moby Play. I listened to this sooo much when it came out (really caused the headlights of my 77 VW Westy to dim to the beat of the bass when turned up until I added a 1 F cap) that I had about a 15 year period where I dont think I listened to it once. That has recently changed and I am enjoying it once again.

Someone I used to trade DATs with who lived in Alpine, CA had a view of one of the Zappa's residences from his house which was in a canyon.

I used to enjoy selecting this on the jukebox at The Palms in Ithaca ($1 Schaeffers every night, plus they had "Whitewater!" pinball).
