very nice, I got it for much less than the tag and got to preview it on a vintage system at the shop. It's a mono though so you may want to think about that mono box soon. It's real good deal on Amz right now, like $10 off when i looked it up.

Took a long drive with my lady after work to dig in a pastor’s garage boxes. He’s selling on consignment, so he won’t go low on any.
He’s an odd one; age 83 and still picks up these full boxes. And he has prison tats on his arms; in fact he has been in prison and found God while in solitary. Something to flesh out the story a bit.
His claim is the sleeves are rough but the records are all nice, which is blatantly false. Bad form, padre! Have to check every one I want to buy. Ended up with 48, he won’t come down on quantity, so I pay up.
These are some highlights. Many are for resale, but others I am keeping. Left loads of commons and beaters for him to pawn off at the flea market.

Wow! Nice haul!
Alright…You twisted my arm, I guess I can take one of those copies of Can’t Buy A Thrill off your hands.

Been beating myself up with blowing my vinyl budget each month so I am trying a new tactic, 1 in 1 out. Traded in 6 items this month and 6 incoming so the collection is the same size still. Hopefully this easier to do.
Cars - Heartbeat City (Cdn OG)
Jackie McLean - Tipping the Scales (Tone Poet)
Pretenters - S/T (2022 reissue, think it is pressed at Optimal, either way sounds nice)
Sonny Clark - Dial S for Sonny (BN Classics)
Roxy Music - Avalon (2022 1/2 speed remaster, nice but will still keep my eyes open for a NM og)
Son Volt - Trace (MOV reissues, sounds nice when played loud)

Charlie Gabriel - Eighty Nine (Sub Pop, 2022 Vinyl Me Please Exclusive Pressing)
Charles Mingus - Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus (Candid, 2022 Vinyl Me Please Exclusive Pressing)

Most of my new stuff is in this stack...which is at my feet under my desk - ready to enter data into Discogs if needed (and it usually is)
There's some new stuff in this stack...
And I think there's a couple new things in these, too. (but not what you can see)
I know there's still some RSD stuff I haven't gotten to yet - not just this previous, but the one in April...and the Black Friday RSD in November.

Spinning Freedom Flight right now and it's stellar. Get On Down crushed it imo. Should get to Inspiration Information tomorrow.

The pressing is not bad but not amazing to be honest. It’s a generic GZ mastered cut. I know it was recorded digitally, but wish they put a bit more effort into the cut. Hopefully someone does a really great reissue one day. The album is so good!Pretty bummed I missed this. Hope they do a standard press too

That Mingus! Still on preorder here.
Let us know how it sounds.
Here is the conclusion I am coming to with the mono summing cable trick.
It's really just for surface noise reduction. IMHO
Clean pressings that are of high quality and especially new, do not necessarily need the channels summed.
One person on SHF with a Naim Audio NAC-252 recently stated they can't hear the difference turning their mono switch on and off.
That's a very telling reference for me. Should be one of the best hifi switches out there.
