Call it psychedelic garage blues soul kraut rock meets country jazz in an AM Gold battle for your dial. Or whatever. It's just distinctly them and I love it.
The cover art by Michael Eaton is some of the best on record shelves in 2016.

Nice to See Artie Shaw on a turntable. My dad and I would argue whether Shaw or Count Basie had the best bands.
I have a Gramovox Floating Record Record Player and I love it. I funded it on Kickstarter . Kickstarter is currently starting another turntable Id like The Levitating Turntable ( YOU GOTTA SEE IT) but I can’t .
Hoi!!!!…… why was sharon needles not consulted about the posting of this thread to provide adequate support for the obvious line of query that would follow??? rupaul would never have let this happen on his/her watch…tsk tsk….
I have a pro-ject with a pioneer sx 750 vintage receiver great bass and warm sound
JakobGreen check out myneedlestore.com.
CJ74 nothing really just wanting another place to check out for needles
JakobGreen, what are you looking for exactly? I’ve used them both over the years, had about everything I needed at the time, until I got into high end cartridges and styli. Now, many times I deal directly with the cartridge manufacturer, or a business who is real familiar with my brand/model of turntable.
For the last couple of years Ive been using lp gear and turntable needles for places to order my needles. Anyone got any other places to suggest?
This was an awesome read ! Thanks for sharing TMR, it’s obvious that everyone is enjoying the music.
Technics SL-1200 for the win. You guys should defenetly check The Sore Losers – Sky Dogs. Great album!
