Amazing cover art — I’d probably have bought it on that alone (sounds like you did too @Aetas )

The mustache of a 70s/80s Japanese jazz-funk player might very well be one of the most powerful facial hair configurations known to man

Caught in the act. Find myself often judge unknown music bye it’s cover.

But in the time of smartphones, I’ll try to double check right in the shop.

Ha, I know this strategy well

Just learned that on this cover of ‘Creation‘, the mustache belongs to Felix Pappalardi. NY musician and producer of the Youngbloods and Joan Baez.

I typically do the same but in the case of the Austrian Teletubies (schlager) I had left my ear buds at the office so I was flying blind

I know this problem @GraemeE

Has anyone of you tried to use an Bluetooth adapter like this
linked into the LP player your shop provides?
You can avoid the stinky headphones tons of customers have used before.
Plug and play with your own buds…
I love it!

Edit: Nowadays I do also a quick Discogs research to compare price and sound. Shame on me ‍️.

[GraemeE]

@Aetas that's a good idea

@Aetas same here. I almost always do a little discogs research before I buy a record. Might as well go for the best!!

Stereolab FTW.

[GraemeE]

@steelydan What he said ^^
of course the others are gems as well but im glad you've drank from the chalice of stereolab kool-aid

[GraemeE]

Just found this mono copy of the first dead record while going through some of my boxes in storage

[Mizmazzle]

@steelydan curious how that Cannon Ball Adderly sounds…thought about picking up a copy myself.

[steelydan]

@GraemeE that greatful is a gem ..
@Mizmazzle , didn't open it yet ...i bought it is because i didn't have a clean copy in my collection, always like this album.. so .. may as well get a clean copy .

Today's thrift finds

[Mizmazzle]

When we bought our house this room was designated as my listening room. However, it was overflow storage for years. I listened amongst boxes, bags, and random dump location for a couple years. We’ve finally managed to get it cleared out and some art on the walls. I’m so stoked. Now time to add some more storage, a better listening chair and get settled in!!

[tody]

@Mizmazzle That looks like a full vintage setup. What do you have there?

[Mizmazzle]

@tody yeah it is. mostly 70’s era
Pioneer SX-850
Pioneer PL-570 (refurbished and veneered in rosewood)
Acoustic Research AR 2ax speakers (circa 1965)
SVS Sub (not a vintage component)
