Streets Of San Francisco Theme-Name That Drummer-Win A Prize!

Anybody who can definitively name the drummer on the opening theme of “The Streets Of San Francisco” I’d appreciate it.  Why? Just for my own satisfaction. I’ve just been recently re-watching this great 70s cop show at home on a Stewart Firefox screen and a full range sound system (B&W 802s, big ole sub, etc.etc.). The [...]

Sealed MoFis on their way!

We have just purchased a collection of some 70 Mobile Fidelity LPs from the early days when they were pressed in Japan by JVC including some of the UHQRs and some of the juicier titles that are difficult to locate.

Well, I’ve been back a while from Tennessee, more than a month in fact and all we have been doing is adding titles to the site every day and avoiding the blog. Back in the summer, I got a call from Jay Nations at Raven Global in Maryville, Tennessee who had located a huge collection belonging [...]

Yet Another Advantage For The LP Over The CD-Or Snake Removal Made Easy!

Besides the other previously recognized advantages of the long player, I discovered yet another the other night close to midnight when I jumped up off the couch in the ‘man-cave’ (aka the home theatre) after watching Isabelle Huppert in the Piano Teacher. There in front of me was a little garden snake squiggling its way [...]
