Sunday Morning Music

[sleepysurf]

Something a little different. This morning I stumbled upon this (old, but fascinating) podcast about Frank Conrad of Pittsburgh, who is credited with the first wireless broadcast, and how it evolved into KDKA, the first commercial radio station... http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1134125

Great story!

Ever heard the I Robot HDAD, Tim? Made from Parsons' personal mastering tapes, it's generally considered the best release, though it's long OOP and now >$100, when you can find one.

Same same for the two other HDAD releases - Turn of a Friendly Card and Eye in the Sky.

I haven't actually. I'd really like to find Turn of a Friendly Card though, that may be my favorite APP album of all time, although "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" is right up there too.

I was checking out UHQR's on the various forums and auction sites. They are selling for anywhere between $125.00 all they way up to $2,995.00 depending on condition. The $2995.00 price is for a sealed copy of Supertramp's "Crime of the Century". I just finished listening to my UHQR copy and it did sound pretty amazing.

Yikes! I do have the (infinitely cheaper) MoFi redbook of CotC and it is a terrific master.

I have all the AP HDADs and man are they so superior to the CD's it's not funny. I cherish mine, and $100 would be waay to little to let go of any of them.

Kind of in a contemplative mood, and this album is perfect for that: Lunatic Soul - Walking on a Flashlight Beam

It is the solo project of Mariuz Duda, band leader and bassist for Riverside. This is mellow prog.
