This showed up on my doorstep yesterday (I finally used up the last of the Amazon gift cards I got for Christmas):

The sound quality is amazing. It was remastered by the legendary Robert Ludwig with the lacquers cut by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering. It was pressed by Optimal in Germany. I don't own any other Optimal pressings, but anything involving Bob Ludwig and Chris Bellman is bound to sound great.

This is officially my favorite Eagles album, nosing out both Hotel California and their first Greatest Hits album. I love the energy of the live performance, the track selection and the live version of Hotel California on this album is my favorite. Plus, even the non-hits like The Last Resort sound great on this album.

So, the last two new albums I've bought (this one and the 2008 re-issue of Moondance by Van Morrison) have been absolute masterpieces, everything from the performances to the pressing to everything in between. Reminds my why I like vinyl so much.

P.S. that's a new to me, Harman Kardon T60 turntable with a vintage Grado cartridge. It's the best turntable I have ever owned. I had to drive down to Cottage Grove to get it a couple weekends ago, but I got a great deal on it and it was well worth the price. It was Harman Kardon's top of the line turntable from 1983, which makes it a good match for my Yamaha A-1000, their top of the line integrated amplifier from 1983.
 
Picked up a couple great albums from 1970 at the local Goodwill the Saturday before last:

Your passion for music of all types and equipment from old and new has inspired me as retired dude, to rejuvenate my passion. Never really lost it totally but I like the idea of a new hobby in collecting recordings and refurbishing some older equipment.

How's your new knee?
 
This is one of the first songs I heard when I first tried weed
Donovan - Mellow Yellow
 
Grand Funk Railroad - We're an American Band
 
I know I've played this one before but I can't help it, it's so good.
The Guess Who - Clap for the Wolfman
 
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Teach Your Children
 
Bob Dylan - Hurricane
 
Don't recall seeing if he was already mentioned but even so, this guitar player needs another mention. His music is timeless and reaches across all cultures and all ages. Here is one of my favorites of his as there are so many to choose from it's hard to pick one.

I saw Santana live as a backup group to the Greatful Dead at Parker stadium in about 1975.
