Had a little record cleaning/ listening party last night. Thought it’d be fun to share my less than hi-tech approach.

Edge brush with homemade cleaning solution

Distilled water rinse then air dry

Place record in a new sleeve city inner and jacket in a new outer sleeve

Pack a bowl, pour a bourbon, and listen and enjoy!!

@Mizmazzle the UMO cover version of Shakedown from Day of the Dead is pretty awesome

[Mizmazzle]

For anyone who is interested…both the Blow by Blow and Excitable boy albums are superb!!! Crazy dynamic, full bodied sound with huge sound stage. Quite pleased.

@popvulture I’m going to check out both of those Elvis albums. Thanks for letting me know…and get some pics up when you can!

[SKT]

@Mizmazzle Nice!

[GraemeE]

@setandsetting I've always felt like the song Shakedown Street is equivalent to Neil Youngs Sample and Hold off Trans

Telling a die hard fan that either of those songs is your favorite is a sure way to start an argument

I happen to love both songs

[setandsetting]

@GraemeE I mean Trans is top 5 Neil albums...

[GraemeE]

@setandsetting I can't argue with that

[GraemeE]

@Mizmazzle dude....this is totally something I would do
The low tech system refined over the years

The only thing missing is a significant other in the background rolling their eyes during the process

@GraemeE it’s like we’re living the same life bro!!! Haha. Actually, my lady really digs the whole vinyl thing. When we first started dating I wooed her with late nights drinking wine and listening to records.

It’s more the wearing of 25oz denim jeans and heavy wabash shirts to lounge around the house in after work she rolls her eyes at.

[GraemeE]

@Mizmazzle don't get me wrong my wife loves records (and denim for that matter)

She just approaches both like a regular /well adjusted human

[Mizmazzle]

@GraemeE yup!! That about says it all right there. Sometimes I look at my girl sideways when she’s rolling her eyes! Then I remember, oh yeah, right. I’m def the oddball taking pics of my fades. 1%ers

[GraemeE]

Time to get smooth

[J-IV]

@GraemeE now thats how you unwind. Melt away, my friend. Melt away

[GraemeE]

@J-IV it's pretty much a given that I'm going to have to put on either Aja or Fagens Nightfly before the night is over

A couple pics — first, the collection in its swelling corner of my living room. There's another one of these Ikea shelves behind me that's also full of records. I'm out of space with this current setup, been thinking of having a friend build me some nice modern ply shelves, preferably taller so I'm not having to stoop all the time (old, shitty back).

Turntables are a Music Hall MMF-5 and a 1200. Integrated Amp's a Rega Elicit R, speakers B&W 683. The latter are ok but I've had them about 15 years and would like to looks for a new pair.

Lastly, a record I just recently finally got around to picking up — an old fave from my college years. Tracking one down on Discord for a decent price wasn't too hard.
