Two albums arrived over the weekend, the lovely new Bear’s Den album (orchestral settings of modern folk-rock songs) and the amazing 45rpm Impex pressing of the classic Friday Night In San Francisco.

Better than the original?
Glad you liked the 45rpm Impex of FNISF.
I recently bought the Impex 33rpm, great music but I didnt think the Impex was anything special for the money, ok sound & pressing, cheap flimsy sleeve

Funny, I’m auditioning a couple of streamers just to see…
My better half just said to me, “The look on your face when your unpacking records! You dont get that with streaming!”

Gillian Welch - Soul Journey. A really lovely album, sounding very good on vinyl. Nice gatefold tip-on sleeve but no anti-static inner, just a thin printed one. Also, the QRP pressing, while quiet and free of any nastiest like non-fill, had a very slight warp to the edge, some rough edges and the labels were a bit wonky. But I’ll take that over a poorly centered press or audible glitches.
