[GraemeE]

More zesty goodwill finds so far this week

[GraemeE]

@steelydan I've actually had a craving to pick that album up over the last few months

I probably can't swing for the deluxe version but I'd like to find a decent pressing sooner than later
Edit: I pulled the trigger on this recent one - fingers crossed

@GraemeE love that Jimmy Cliff Album, that is now on my list!

@Steve said in Wax Treasure (Vinyl):

Jimmy Cliff

absolutely brilliant, saw him late 80s in the Hollywood Bowl

[SKT]

@endo random but I’ve seen exactly one show at the Hollywood Bowl and it was the French mime Marcel Marceau. I would have preferred Jimmy Cliff

[endo]

Thinking about it again, it must have been the Greek Theatre, not the Bowl, and I think 1988. It was pretty amazing. I was totally in my reggae years, first time in L.A., and the whole amphitheater was filled with pot smoke. Had never seen that many rastafarians before.

[SKT]

@endo now that sounds like a good time

[GraemeE]

@SKT I'm trying to picture how miming would translate in a large amphitheater setting......

[steelydan]

@GraemeE , pls take note

[SKT]

@GraemeE it was actually kind of cool. The Hollywood Bowl orchestra played and they had a giant screen so you could see him. Was a long time ago so it’s all a bit fuzzy

[GraemeE]

@steelydan I'm giving this version the fireside listening test and it's pretty smooth

Once my kids have all grown and left the nest I'll upgrade my copy

[steelydan]

@GraemeE , this is a very good for the $

[GraemeE]

@steelydan What do you think the biggest difference is between this one ^^^and the one I picked up ?
Mastering credits appear to be the same

[Aetas]

Had a beautiful John Coltrane LP in my hand today, but it was definitely not in my budget.
Vinyl prices rised tremendously over here in the last months …

[GraemeE]

@Aetas what do you think is the cause for the sudden increase in prices?

[Aetas]

@GraemeE
-Definitely more interest!

Visited three stores today, and have seen only young and elderly standing together with a smile. Happy people spending their hard earned savings or their deserved amber…
