Amazing album - spent a lot of my late teens / early twenties with this in the wee small hours after nights out.
If you know, you know.....
Thought that I'd give Beck a go, not listened to his stuff before.

Working my way through a bunch of CDs that have been given to me:
The Strokes - 'Is This It'
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....h1k3L._AC_.jpg
The singer's voice reminds me of Lou Reed, but otherwise it is, IMO, utter rubbish.
James - 'The Best Of'
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....AC_SL1200_.jpg
Anodyne 'Brit Pop' - could be worse.
Alice Cooper - 'Greatest Hits'
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....OaNCL._AC_.jpg
Only liked 'School's Out' and 'Elected' - the rest were instantly forgettable.
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magic'
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....AC_SL1425_.jpg
No - it's not for me!
Lone Justice - 'Lone Justice'
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....AC_SL1500_.jpg
New to me, and not too bad. Well worth a repeated listen.
James Brown - 'Sex Machine - The Very Best of James Brown'
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....9GQ8L._AC_.jpg
Now:
Neil Young - 'Harvest'

Indeed. It's one of those weird albums; if you chat to someone who knows the album, one can discuss Jack Atsidakos' car crash and know full well what is meant. If one chats to someone who only knows KLF's big hits (and hits they were of course), then it's a mystery, unheard album.Quote:

Bill Drummond was such a weird influence, but his knowledge of the music industry led him to write 'The Manual'. Now I remember 'Bring Me Edelweiss' by 'Edelweiss' hitting the number one spot in the UK. Bill Drummond quite clearly knew what he was talking about. :lol:
The more I listen to this one the more I enjoy it.

Chemical Brothers, "Born in the Echoes". Mrs. P was unusually tolerant, no doubt helped by her being in the garden.
I seem to have my Goldring 2500 set up just right for this record, it sounds superb, great detail and dynamics. I know some do not like the PF recent re-issues but I think they are actually pretty good, at least this one is.

i think we talked about this album recently Adrian - although it is my favourite PF album I have been a bit disappointed with the SQ of my recent pressing. Of course the slow ponderous bass and all-but-missing finer details might be down to me being a bit mutton jeff, I should seek out a decent quality early pressing for comparison to be sure.Quote:

Too early to be sure, but the bass seems to be a bit less in quantity, a bit more in speed and tunefulness. I'll Whatsapp a pic to you.
Sorry about the thread drift gents, as you were :)
Happy Mondays "Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches". Surprisingly decent production.
Led Zeppelin - Celebration Day
Lazy Sunday Afternoon (should be a song...) in the garden with a can of something cold.
Thoroughly enjoyable - what an amazing job Jason does on this record too.

Might be worth a re-listen now you have the platforms in place. If your pressing is the same release as mine then I noticed it is quite thick, so maybe you are getting too much bass as the VTA may be being altered too much as a result, in other words with a 180 or 200gm record the arm is slopping to much down at the rear for your cartirdge. I think we have discussed before the Ortofon 2M Black whilst being a great cartridge it is known for being very fussy about set up. I think Robbiegong on here is a bit of an expert with them.Quote:

Yes I have thought for some time that record thickness could be a factor with VTF, I just haven't yet mustered the necessary bottle to start tinkering with it! But one day soon I will bite the bullet.Quote:

I think they would work fine. I'll give the existing set up a few days with some familiar music, then make the change :)
Love that album art! Unfortunately I only have the CD, which doesn't count :( I believe it is an H. R. Geiger jobbie, who was also responsible for "Alien".Quote:
