My daughter walked in and announced "that's not music".   She listens to Lil' Wayne, what does she know?

I guess it's kind of rare on vinyl.   I didn't realize that as I was paying 25 cents for it at the GW Outlet.

Yeah, first day in two weeks that I didn't have work or a visit to my mom.   I spent the day listening, cleaning and listing records for sale.   It's about to the point where my favorite hobby is becoming my part time job.

I have a thing for 10" records.   They are just so cool looking.   Luckily this one also happens to have great tunes on it.   No "Look Sharp!" pin though.   :(

Found a nice mono 'Pet Sounds' today.

Haven't cleaned it and "that's not me' sounds amazingly full.  As does the next tune , 'Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder'. Bass is clear as a you can get.

Test record material.   Textured gatefold cover, MASTERDISK all four sides but RL only one.   No matter, it still sounds fabulous.

I don't know much about record collecting, except to buy what I like, or think I will.  I do know I am drooling over that Steely Dan album

When I find a clean copy that is "RL" all four sides, I'll give you this one.   

BTW, if you ever see the "value savers" (or something like that) non-gatefold edition, check the deadwax for "KG".   That is a Kevin Gray cut and is also very highly thought of.   I like the Ludwig approach with a bit of smiley face, but many people swear by the Gray version for it's warm midrange.   The difference is subtle, but I like the RL better.

Yes, the rainbow around the perimeter.   If you like that, find a Brother reissue.   They sound even better.   

I'm a heretic.   I like the recent stereo mix better than any mono I've heard.   If I ever find the Analog Productions stereo cheap I'll get one.   Right now I have the Capitol from a few years ago and it is fine.
