Think I’ve posted this about that cover before, really like it. Looks like Havana. I get to go back at the end of February for carnival.
More Bob Marley from my brother’s collection. Disappointing sound.
Edit:changing my mind on the sound quality. Do have to turn it up…or the edible is kicking in.
Wish the recording quality was less variable, but, hey. In some ways, my fave is “Got Nothing to Prove” as it is such a Fab Lo-Fi re-creation of an Early Who tune, replete with orchestration and snot-nosed-kid vocals. Yet it is arguably the most sophisticated track on the record : )
Just flown from Havana over the Gulf of Mexico to Alabama to play this favourite for you… No doubt “someone” will be checking the veracity of how quickly I managed to get from H to A ; )
“Mike the Mike” reminded me of playing bar gigs many moons ago. The drummer owned the PA, and when we’d walk into a new, bigger-than-we’d-played-before venue, he’d look at me with a twinkle in his eye and say, “We’re going to have to mic the mics!”
I put Isoacoustics orea’s under my Cary SLP-05 (two sets) today…nice improvement. I was skeptical it would make a difference. Going to buy a set for my DSD and BHKs too. Probably will not put them under the P20. Also, put some Herbie washers between my speakers and their stands (speakers bolt into the stands). 8-1 1/2” washers per speaker. Worked well. Doubt it matters but feels like the right thing to do.
This is a very groovy record.
Edit: when you grew up on Santana (and what’s not to love), Tito Puente’s Oye Como Va is just a treat!
On a Townshend binge now. Finding Very Loud Who/Pete to be a better pain reliever than pills (ooh…5:15 next up…)
Took me a while back then to sort out the irony of the cover of this record. Read recently that he had married a woman again a few years back.
“I’m like a conniosseur of champagne cognac, the perfume nearly beats the taste”
Aretha Franklin was born in Tennessee, but moved out of state when she was two. By the time she was five she was in Detroit and stayed there for the rest of her life. Us Detroit folks claim her as our own, thank you very much! 
Early hours at this side of the pond. Powering down. Last two from me. It’s been a good day sharing music without the discord!
" I was just thirty-four years old and I was still wandering in a haze
I was wondering why everyone I met seemed like they were
Lost in a maze
I don’t know why I thought I should have some kind of
Divine right to the blues
It’s sympathy not tears people need when they’re the
Front page sad news."
Chameleon…I’m high…but the orea’s are amazing, bass is much tighter. I wasn’t expecting that. I was expecting soundstage, which has improved…but the bass is tighter…nice!

“We have a Remedy, fa-la-la-la-la-la”
Love Pete and Keith’s banter between tunes that wasn’t on the original.
And reinforcement of the fact that nearly any good band back in the day had players that could all sing in tune in a pinch, contrary to the current situation. Not sure if that is due to bands forming via the internet based on specific chops or what.
I have a couple sets of them and love them. But REALLY love the DoubleStuffs:
The beeyatch is that you have to put your rig in a freezer.
Tryin’a make it real! Have to do some Eddie Harris.
