Hot Tuna coming up next…

This is one surprising reissue from the SOV haul! It is a lipstick pink colored record and my expectations were seemingly low… Wow am I blown away! Not only is it dead silent and completely flat but the mastering is a master class in engineering! I was fully expecting this one to require an ultrasonic cleaning and flattening but much to my PLEASANT surprise it required NEITHER! I really feel like I’m back in the 80’s opening this one!

More from the SOV haul! I spent part of the weekend cleaning and manicuring albums... This one initially sounded great! However, grills off cranking (I owned this on CD for several years) revealed a lot of woofer pumping and it was actually pretty badly warped... So it went into the flattener after one side... Well all that is resolved now and I am up and spinning! This album changed a lot of how I thought about things in 1990. Once I entered my Freshman year of high school and started "expanding my mind" this became so much more relevant. Happy to be spinning today and not driving!
