What Are You Spinning At Home ?

[Guest enchantedrythm]

One fantastic L.P     The Esquires -get on up  --- bought about because i played my sweet baby on action the other day - then played it on hot line - something made me think there was a difference, so dug out the bunky L.P, played the whole thing while cleaning UP --FANTASTIC- aLWAYS THOUGHTthat my sweet baby took all the honours - Well its put to the sword by ' How Could it Be' - then' listen to me' is great and' things wont be the same',' woman '  all great. President of the association of television and radio presenters Inc back in the day, delivering the sleeve notes happens to be E. Rodney Jones  ---- Get on Up Bill Shepard and collect a grammy!!!!!!!

 

Next L.p this week has been Cornelius Bros and Sister Rose on UA - came across a copy in Rob Smiths Shop that was coverless -- i love rescuing albums with no covers, oir sleeves with lost vinyl, hoping one dayto reunite then with their partner, every track is a soul masterpiece and harmony score 10/10.

 

Next to warrant a play, out of out of technical interest more than content was a recent purchase of a Spinners untitled Atlantic L.p from 73 featuring some of their most popular sides - have it on two labels, U.K & French that should be, But couldn;t resist A QUADRAPHNIC CD-4 channel Discrete encoded vinyl offering of same. Branded as Quadra-Disc and prefixed QD matrix wise.  The inner sleeve holds all the technical details and explains, with diagrams, the discrete nature of QU and SD encoding, playing on my Stereo system the enhanced nature of the technology can said to dilute the actual recording with hidden audio tracks without a dedicated Quad system. I have a few quad discs but tend to be mainly stuff i dont want to hear-Well this disc actually shines in quality mastering, and really stands out in sheer bandwidth terms-try it you might like it - quad systems ARE AN EASY SET UP, but whats not easily obtainable these days is the actual stylus, profiled for the direct cut groove- there are lots of quasi-quad systems on line with decoding taking place after the fact of the needle picking info out of a record i indeed this tech is the forerunner to modern day sound bars and systems such as Bose in which frequency manipulation has turned full circle and does provide some interesting results  -  knocking purists who are esoteric in their need to have as little of the original signal put through electronic  cicuits to, in their mind set, corrupt the original. i.e No tone controls etc etc. Ive been there!!! Todays electronic ADVANCES in chip sets and the like really do work. A modern digital amp with sourced componants is cabable of coming up to valve standards that have for the last 20 years been favourite amongst purists for sheer sound quality. Anyone want to try a form of quad a simple wiring exercise known as Hafler (after a david hafler) gives a cost effective method of retrieving phased enhancements to stereo signals ...............................................Esoteric what a great word!!

Single wise plays include The Limitations on Bacone and the same group on Volt (all because of you) 

 

also had a mission to delve into the Capri labels output - cam cameroon, reggie soul, etc etc

 

Had to dig out the blenders on mar-v-lus and re-spun the Ultimations two discs -both ate fantastic, the cheaper would i do it over being the bestone

I'm drinking by social distance - ie keep your hands off my bottle!!!

Cheating by mainly (especially during the day whilst working) listening to a loop of the Bury Virtual All-Nighter/All-Dayer/user requests sessions.  Much better background noise than some of the inane chatter that would have been going on in the workplace!!
