Nice to know I inspired you to dig out some Lizzy,Douglas.
What colour is your copy of J'break?

Light coloured grey on this one, Pat and sonically a pretty good repressing.

Roy Harper

I learn a lot from you guys in this thread - thanks for the link!

Yes, so much great stuff to discover in the music from that era. I had forgotten he does the vocal on Pink Floyd - Have A Cigar.

Jefferson Airplane - Thirty Seconds Over Winterland
(1973, Grunt) -1s/-1s

A favorite live album, I wish I'd seen one of these performances. I prefer earlier/earliest versions of the band but here is Kantner, Slick, Kaukonen & Casady running through a great set including fun commentary from Grace ("I can't either" during Crown Of Creation).

Those last two, Horace Silver and Monk are a couple personal favorites. One of my luckiest days hunting was coming across that Horace Silver record in a thrift shop. I hadn't yet hear it and just grabbed it on name recognition, and was quite pleased I did.

Smashing Pumpkins~ Siamese Dream(Caroline Records)

Oh yeah! That is a great record.

Kind of lost interest in the Pumpkins after this album.

Harvey Mandel - Shangrenade

too bad about the writing from a previous owner but otherwise Mr. Lacy seemed to take care of his records.

Great lecture! Thanks for posting- very much worth watching.

Yes, would like to find more talks from this guy, I only see an audio show interview on youtube. It was interesting to hear his discussion on the strain-gauge cartridge design and history. 5 or 6 years ago I came across - through a local craigslist sale - one of the old Win Labs strain-gauge cartridges paired with a Phase Linear 8000 TT. I don't recall all the issues but the TT needed the usual work (cue'ing, etc) after years of storage.
