I'm Alex.
Which LP are you using for demoing your turntable?
Every now and then a friend drops by for a chat, and some of them get mighty interested in listening to my new turntable. I keep waffling between a few nice sounding LPs whenever I have to decide which one to put on to impress my friends.
Which LP in your collection is your 'go to' record when you wish to blow the socks off some unsuspecting listeners?
Don't you just hate it when you cannot detect where the post ends and a signature line begins?

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Yes! I managed to get my hands on the Supertramp "Crime of the Century" LP (the sticker on the cover says "Audiophile edition"; not sure what does that mean?) But man, the sound on that LP is stunning!
Another discovery I made this weekend is Eberhart Weber "Little Movements" LP. Got it at a garage sale for $2.00, not in the best shape, but also thunderously sounding. Now I'm on the hunt for that LP in the new LPs sections (hopefully it's not out of print).
