The new box set came out today with the first four albums on cd (mono and stereo). Anyone have a chance to pick it up and, if so, how's the sound? Early reviews greatly appreciated.Thanks.Mike
I got bemused looks recently from friends when I stated my feeling that different music has seasonal connotations. I was wondering if anyone here felt the same way; for example:The Beach Boys (obvious I suppose) Pet Sounds, the Beatles Magical Mystery...

Hi,I have just met a guy who trades under the name 'Vinyl Junkie' - he specialises in reggae vinyl, and if you are looking for anything, he may be a good person to ask - currently without email but will be up and running soon, but I will forward any...
Hi all. One of the neat things about this Forum is that it exposes you to different types of music and, more importantly, different viewpoints regarding stereo equipment and music. Previously, I only was a very casual fan of the Beach Boys, with a...
