so what's in the Player NOW!!

You can spend a fraction of your boat proceeds, lol - I'd suggest an Audio Technica entry level for you.
There are issues whether your stereo receiver has a pre-amp built in, but this has an onboard pre-amp and USB out if you'd like to rip your classic vinyl to mp3.

that would be sacrilegious ripping them to MP3's......................

Have to take a look at the back of the Yamaha see if it can handle it. I have to move it anyway to hook up my second 6 disc CD changer anywho. If so...I'm going shopping.

Flying Cowboys - Rickie Lee Jones

Nice Disc. Nice Price.

Good listein' music while you attempt to cook dinner without any idea of a receipe. Just do as it seems it might work.
Who told me that?
Ed?

Where's Ed anywho.............................

 
Let It Be "Stripped" - The Beatles
McCartney was never really happy with this album. Always thought it way overproduced. This was originally meant to be performed live somewhere in front of an audience. A live show/recording. Cruise ships were considered. Zoos. All eventually scrapped.

And the tapes/recordings sat.

The band was in the midst of breaking up. Each writer basically was using the group as their backing band (hell of a backing band 'eh?).
It was actually the last album as it was recorded after Abbey Road. But. The tapes & mixes sat in storage. Lennon ended up sending them to Phil Spector. He was "through with it all" at that point. He wanted Spector to take the tapes & finish "them" from a production standpoint.

Now this was the last thing McCartney wanted. He wanted simple. Spector was going to "energize them".

Spector was famous for his "Wall of Sound" production techniques.
Think the Ronettes.

He'd take a weak number & by adding "stuff" to it beef it up so to speak.

McCartney hated what he did but it was released anyway over his objections.. Decades later he went into the studio & stripped all of Spector's add-ons off the tracks & well - here we are....

Let It Be "Stripped" was released minus all of the Spector added trappings (i.e. over production) bringing it closer to what was initially intended.

Unless you're a long time listener/fan you probably won't notice most of the differences with most songs. Many of the changes are to say the least subtle. Some standout & beg you to listen. You'll notice it on Don't Let Me Down. Sounds more bluesy & honest. Another one that comes to mind is Two of Us. The harmonies shine whereas they were muddy & lost in the production.

Probably the most noticable is the one below. All of the strings & orchestra has been edited out.
It's terrific.

anywho...........

Away we go.

 
You Want It Darker - Leonard Cohen

Interesting disc - interesting disc packaging - all in black & greys
Mr. Cohen's last........................

I was late to the "Cohen Party" having only heard one number on Sirrus a month or two before he died. Thought it was pretty good & picked up two of his discs next time I was in El Cheapo's.

His music kinda grows on ya........
Something of an acquired taste.
Not unlike liver.
