Back History

I still have two sealed MFSL iRobots plus one that I use.

Also, very nice is the first two cuts on Pyramid, Voyager and What goes up.

Do you have any Dead can Dance? https://youtu.be/z42ENG79hTo https://youtu.be/wWGKwNt9NY8 https://youtu.be/YidtAo6mRuM https://youtu.be/P9-OaeHCkVE

The in-studio recordings are great sound quality

Genre would probably be neoclassical dark wave

Nope. But I used to know local TX guy named Dead Man, and his sidekick working w him @ local Exxon Station was named Van Man. True story - Honest Injun!

There's a cultish song called "Dead Man" by a Texas group of some repute:

Thanks for the Photo post instruction via IPad.

Here's "Back to the roots" double album by John Mayall. This album plays through strongly on all 4 sides. Superb music.

Has a rather expensive looking 20-page color booklet inside. Similar in quality to the Quadraphenia booklet but in color.

[61 389-348]

One of the best threads ever on PY.

[61 389-348]

For a cheap effective record cleaner. Okki Nokki or VPI 16.5

or

Around $600 - $650

[61 389-348]

And on the more expensive side of things

https://youtu.be/4Dd9k5x2jaU

For about $5,500

Enjoy them and don't let little clicks or pops get in the way. That's all fixable with a good spit and shine.

Mayall is another one I want to see before he's gone, and at 82 he won't be around forever.

My son and I were up at the Wanna Go Fast" event last month and taking a break from the rain we stopped in to have some bbq and walked a indoor flea market. There was a guy that had over ten 3x8 tables full of old records in crates. I was floored. This place is up in Hiawassee, GA.

Those type deals cost me hours as I can't leave till I look at them all. Ones like that that are not alpha / genre organized are a challenge. Went over a guys house two years ago that had about 5000. None in order. I think he had mental issues. I asked how he finds things, he said he just grabs stuff and plays at random (?). He wanted me to come over and spend a day looking through. They were stacked in many cases, not sideways. Every room in house full. I went home, did some wham bham math and figured 40 hours to inventory. Never went back

Guys like your table guy buy "lots" not inventoried like the guy I described, 10 cents on the record and hope they get enough good to work it out.

"Went over a guys house two years ago that had about 5000. None in order."

Mine got out of order in my two moves. I gotta pick a rainy day one of these days and pull them all out and start over..... that's about 175 liner feet of records.

I know there's stuff I have and cannot find .... unless I lost a couple of boxes somehow during moves.

Yes indeed. The likes of Johm Mayall, Gary Moore, Jack Bruce, Mick Taylor, Allman Bros, (some 65-73 Zappa), Robin Trower music, and probably more along their theme;

all their music can be played for hours, days, seasons while getting work& home chores done.

and Bloomfield and Eric C and Peter Green and Albert King and early Johnny Winter and Freddie King and more..... could keep going.... they old stuff is pretty amazing still. Go deeper Elmore James, Howlin Wolf, Robert Johnson, Odetta, I like digging into the roots of it all...

you mention Mick Taylor...... he is one of the most tasteful players around. Stones era? The best.

Tip for guitar afficiandos: check out Jack Pearson. Touring never agreed with him I think. Otherwise he could be gigantic.
