Beatles Remasters ... Heard Today at NARM



As heard from EMI today, we listened as the first public audience to the remastering of the Beatles catalog by Giles and George Martin. The difference between the original masters and the remasters is astonishing. I'm sure it will cause no small debate, but there can be no denying t… Continue

Listen to Bliss



Yesterday my tech, Rich, and I visited a client of our in Los Angeles. He's an avid collector, especially of Jazz, and every time we visit him he gives us a treat. In this case, the treat was listening to a lacquer cut from the master tape of Horace Silver's "Cape Verdean Blues."

R.I.P. Jay Bennett ...



Big Wilco fan, was shocked to hear of Jay's untimely demise on May 24th. Genius, crazyman, brought a vision to Wilco that elevated them to new heights. Bennett seemed to drag Jeff Tweedy up and out of his Uncle Tupelo mindset once and for all , and with Yankee Hotel Foxtrot the collaboration paid off with an almost unreasonable sophistication and intimacy that was only hinted at in Summerteeth before it.

Made pariah in the documentary about the making of YHF, "I Am Trying To… Continue

When he sings a song even one done well by other people he really make his own see for Example "I g… Continue

The Record Man Semi-Annual Sale

Hello All, the record sale at the Record Man store in Redwood City was a success for me. I found several great records, some of them sound great. Some do not, but for $1.00 each one can hope for the best and not worry too much about the money. Here I am deciding between the Fabulous Thunderbirds and Pavarotti, and I got them both. Below me is Gary aka the Record Man owner of the shop.
