Do any original pressings of Ricky Lee Jones’ self titled sound good. I’m on my fifth really visually good looking copies and cleaned all of them thoroughly and they are always noisy. It’s my one of “that situation” records lol should of got the fucking mofi.
“A Lovely Bunch Of” Al Jazzbo Collins And The Bandidos is a delightful surprise. I didn’t know exactly what I was getting myself into, I presumed it was a straight post bop album.
I am anecdotally convinced that of the new records I get that are pressed outside of Pallas, RTI, or QRP 60-80 percent are significantly warped and even from the big three at least 25 percent are. Not to include other pressing defects.
I am quite content with how my setup sounds at this point. The system makes me want to just keep listening. I’ve never had this effect from my equipment itself so to speak.
