Saw Marty with the latest incarnation of Jefferson Starship a few weeks back. Still has great pipes, but what a ham.

Marty Balin (of Jefferson Airplane fame) - Top Tracks 4 song promo EP on "audiophile" red vinyl

Van Morrison - A Period of Transition

The Incredible String Band - We Tam

Pink Floyd - A Collection of Great Dance Songs

David Gilmour - Blue Light

Taiwanese Counterfeit Simon & Garfunkle Greatest Hits "10 piece Boxed set." There are only 9 records and 9 listed so they must count the box as 1 piece. No mention of licensing. Even says "4 channel records" on box. Yeah right. Records are surprisingly high quality and actually don't sound to bad...

The Pentangle - Basket of Light - rare White Label Promo

Elvis Costello - Out of our Idiot

Richard and Linda Thompson - Shoot out the Lights

Van Morrison and the Chieftains - Irish Heartbeat

Soundtrack to "You got to Walk it like you Talk it" - This is what Becker and Fagen did before Steely Dan when they were still teens...

Unfortunately Petey doesn't like vinyl so I don't spin it as often as I'd like to. My latest spin session was Loggins and Messina On Stage side three, Mofi Santana Abraxas side one, Pink Martini Sympathique side one. I've been spinning some SACD lately too (it doesn't bother Petey as much) but it's not vinyl so I won't mention it here.

Yep the microgroove record (both 33 1/3 and 45 rpm) were introduced in 1948 by Columbia....And the stereo record as we know it was introduced in 1957 though other stereo schemes had unsuccessfully been introduced as early as 1933..

Today is the 62nd Birthday of the Long Playing 33 1/3 rpm vinyl record.

Just heard it on the tube, no links.

So Happy Birthday old friends !!!!

I volunteered as an engineer for my High School FM station all 4 years and also for 2 years with the College station. The station manager for the High School station actually preferred we took the rock lp's home so they wouldn't get "accidentally" played. He didn't like rock and only approved light rock and some pop. I also ended up with friends collections when they converted to CeeDee and were mostly going to just toss the lp's.
