Definitely Interesting Lee.
Had not had my finger on the pulse of this kind of creativity.
This one they are calling Jamaican Grimecore, (Two Road Dem).
The Gothic Mazz compilations are nice.
Thanks for posting these......Very Interesting.
 
I set the Model One to 1958 – 1962 and played these two classics.
Both are great performances. This is a classic recording by Lester Young of Duke Ellingtons’
very popular tune “It Don’t Mean A Thing, If It Ain’t Got That Swing”.
Gene Ammons and Sonny Stitt together, speaks for itself, another incredible LP.
Highly recommend these two:

Lester Young and His Orchestra
It Don’t Mean A Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)
Verve Records – MGV 8187 – Mono -- Clef Series
Reissue 1958 w / Black Label -- Original Released in 1955

Gene Ammons and Sonny Stitt
Boss Tenors in Orbit
Verve Records – V6 – 8468
First Pressing – Mono – 1962

That Twelve Dreams... Spirit album I found got me to wondering and guess what? Amazon to the rescue. Needed something to round out an order of two-outlet Tripp-Lite surge protectors for the appliances. Bought this five CD compilation - the first four "real" albums before Randy California and Jay Ferguson went their separate ways and another where Ed Cassidy and Mark Andes tried to soldier on. Working on the first one - Spirit - right now. Definitely in the psychedelic camp.

That Clear Spirit album cover is a straight-up ripoff of the first Doors album cover photo.

If that meter range switch is in the center position, you were not kidding about playing it loud!

Getting into the Red side of the VU meter on a Model ONE will make some serious dB's

Hi Eric,
I have it set to the -20db position, but running Klipsch LaScalas (1 watt = 105db) it is quite impressive !
I have a REL subwoofer in the system and the SPL when in the red is amazing. :D
I could not be more pleased with the Model ONE, dead quiet at idle, between tracks and incredible headroom.
I really enjoyed building this Model ONE, and listening is a real treat every time I play something, whether vinyl, CD or streaming.
My brother calls it the "Wow" machine, because listening will always trigger at least one "Wow" out loud from whoever is listening.
I often utter an expletive or two myself at different passages, it impresses me every day. I have said it many times.....Joe really hit a Home Run
with the Model ONE.
 
This one’s for Lee: :D

Bob B. scored a very nice Spirit CD collection the other day, and this album was mentioned.
I set the Model ONE for 1972 and this classic popped up.
I bought this in 1972.....Spirit has always been one of my favorites and all their developments....
Randy California and a great album, played loud.
When Randy left Spirit in 1971, he started a new band that he called “Helicopter”.
The name “Helicopter” was not well received as they started to play the California clubs.
They were billed as “Helicopter” for their debut at the Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood and the
booking secretary of the Whiskey laughed at the name, and suggested something more memorable,
such as “Captain Copter and the Whirlybirds”…….and Randy liked it, but changed it to Kapt. Kopter
and the Twirly Birds…..and the rest is history. Great guitar.
This is a great listen:
