| What 50s Classical Mono LPs to cull? Go to the Absolute Sound and Stereophile web sites for their Records to Die For lists. Thats a start. Some of the RCA Red Dogs (Red Labels Stereo) are coveted and the Gray Dogs(MONO Gray label) are too. | |
| led zeppelin suggestions on vinyl How the West was Won for me was a disapointment and it is now showing up in the cut out bins here in Cali. When I saw them in Long Beach in Cali it was one year after this Long Beach show and they were a major disapointment too. They were to drunk... | |

They are the very first copies on vinyl to come out of the factory then promo's then the mass produced. Most of them don't have... | |
| If you haven't tried them, you need to... I see SBM all the time in the cut out bins mostly in the Jazz section(Miles,Brubeck,Hancock)and also alot of 24 bit remasters. I like the sound that the 24 bit remaster's garnishes esp. The van gelder Remasters. | |
