Last night.....Jerry and Stan night (sounds like a comic duo!) :

Jerry Harrison "The Red And The Black" Oz 1st pressing. Love this album, it could really be seen as a 'lost Talking Heads album'. Great SQ too.

Jery Harrison: Casual Gods "Casual Gods" Oz 1st pressing. Superb sound, up there with my German pressing which was ordered days before I spotted this locally for $10.

Jery Harrison: Casual Gods "Walk On Water" UK 1st pressing. Same dynamic sound as the above.

Stan Ridgeway "The Big Heat" Oz 1st pressing, the only pressing of this you need.

Stan Ridgeway "Mosquitoes" Oz 1st pressing. Again, excellent and superbly dynamic.

If it wasn't so late (4am🤫), I would have played Stan's 'Partyball' as well.....tonight then.😉

Finally Australia got stock - 2 weeks after the release date 🤨 but happy it is here 💕

Not the quietest pressing though - thanks to GZ - but may give it another clean on the VPI which should improve it some more.

Peter Gabriel - Plays Live

1983 UK

Time for a little Jimi on a Sunday morning

Pressing currently playing is the Jimi Hendrix Family release 2014

I have a 1967 US stereo pressing with some wear from years of playing it

Artist - Jimi Hendrix Experience

Title - Are You Experienced

Well I decided to pit the 1967 pressing against the 2014 pressing

The 1967 has better dynamics and punch

Even though the 1967 US stereo pressing has some wear from years of playing it still outshines

Artist - Jimi Hendrix Experience

Title - Are You Experienced (1967 US stereo)

Home from my parents. Found this art the markets this morning after many years of looking
