My deck is the same. My receiver is the model that came after the one featured in the clip below. It is magic! We are talking 1978 or thereabouts.
Bez - I find myself intimidated by that thing you play your records on. I thought this was a safe space?

I enjoy Basket Case much more than I thought I would. Bought the digital version on Bandcamp but think I'll "upgrade".
And Thief is an absolute winner. :) It's the Audio Fidelity version you have, right?

My Thief version is a simple but good sounding one that I got for 5 euro in a record fair:

@Bezulsqy- I'm really impressed with Basket Case too. It's a much better score than I thought it would be. There's some great horns on that one.
@vinyljunkie- I thought FWWM was a week or so away from shipping. How is it? Enjoy!

If anyone of you fine, upstanding, cultured gentlemen has a reasonably good/priced copy of Seriously Deep you'd maybe like to move on to a fellow merry funkster.... ;D
Mateo Sanboval wrote:@ScoJo - This score is a must-own. It ticks all of the boxes. Excited to hear that the pressing is top notch; I was nervous and went with the teleporter haze as a result (less colors, etc.)Catching up from the previous pages... (great to see all the wax!)
Sounds clean, remarkably so. I also have to recommend picking this up if you don't have it. Shore's music is dark and wondrous throughout.Mateo Sanboval wrote:@deaf - Looks great, old son! How does she sound?@Mateo re: Scorpion with Two Tails PD - It sounds better than I was expecting. On my copy, there is some audible surface noise on the into/outro edge grooves of the tracks on each side, but then it sinks down due to the loud pressing. The first percussion-only track is sparse, but sounded nice and wide. Lots of cymbals without distortion. Audible noise again between tracks. It's more noticeable with headphones than through stereo speakers. Hope that helps.
I really appreciate extras like this, and the care and attention to detail is evident.
