I was able to get that Pharoah Sanders RSD release btw and it's so, so good. Any time I see Leon Thomas in the credits it's an instabuy for me. I can't get enough of jazz yodeling.
Also the whole discussion about what demographics Kamala will appeal to is inherently racist and sexist when the actual PRIME audience for her is Mid 40s Men Who Buy Vinyl On Record Store Day
Hah! Just like that, finally seeing movement on my package in France. It's... still in France but it's something at least. I just needed to say something about it on N&G to manifest any sort of progress.
How long should I wait before becoming worried about this package coming from France to the U.S. using La Poste? About a day after it was first shipped it gave this status update and hasn't seen any movement since.
Any place that specializes in selling covers only or albums missing covers? I got good copies of Charlie Parker Big Band and a mono version of Lou Donaldson's Alligator Bogaloo that are cover-less and that makes me sad
Does anyone want a VMP edition of Q-Tip - Kamaal/The Abstract? Or to be more precise, a fucked up copy I needed a replacement for but maybe you want? The label on Side A was mis-centered and now part of the label is in the deadwax. It'd be a shame to throw it out.
Haven't noticed any major escalation in clicks/pops with the new Shibata and the audio channel issue I had with the old ML's azimuth does indeed seem to be mostly fixed. A quick and dirty digital rip still shows one channel quieter than the other so there still might be some tweaking to be done.
I've given up trying to fix the azimuth on my VMN95ML and think I'll just chalk it up to time to get a new stylus. Do I try again with another ML or should I take the plunge on a Shibata with the VMN95SH?
