Saint Etienne - So Tough


My favorite Saint Etienne album fluctuates almost daily but this one is definitely up there. Featuring some of my favorite SE tracks like Mario's Cafe, Conchita Martinez, You're In a Bad Way, and Avenue.

 

[Wicked Dreamer]

Dire Straits - “Money For Nothing”

 

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

Been running a lot of my older OG pressings thru the Humminguru and it's pretty ear opening what that little thing can do...

Neil Young - S/T

Neil supposedly hated this record after it came out. Called it the “overdub city” album. I like it.
I’m not surprised that the Humminguru makes it sound better than you’ve ever heard.

My copy was similar unfortunately. Rift was much cleaner overall.

Same. Right sounds great. The whole Nectar package seems a bit cheaped out on compared the other reissues.

The weird inners initially got me excited. For a split second I though it was pressed at RTI.

Weird inners. Like the weird crystal clear things that Sundazed uses and VSS actually sells?

Hey @TenderLovingKiller® i can’t deside if I like this picture or not. It’s better than crazy glare though, right?

Off the shelf #100

Black Pumas

I know I know everyone’s favorite album to hate on. I still love it. Also, first time on new amp, while it’s an ATO/GZ special meaning the press ain’t great… the mastering is pretty remarkable. Nice space, great imaging, fucking spectacular separation. It’s not like the band is with you but there are layers that I had not noticed before. It’s kind of stacked vertically which is weird but fits the psychedelic aspects of the record very well.

I know it became a meme of variants, but I will unapologetically defend the music on that record all day. My ONLY minor gripe is I feel the last song on it falls flat after what leads up to it.

Yeah, It’s better that we can see the album.

Spatially speaking, your best bet would be to hang the guitar somewhere else and then put a tiny “now playing” shelf just above you turntable on the wall behind.

I mean, I'm not redesigning my space to take better pictures for you guys. Lol.

It’s more like a super lightweight clear poly sleeve.

that kind of sounds like what I am talking about except the ones Sundaze are using are weirdly thick.

Yeah, I didn’t think you necessarily would. Just a note.
