Re: Some Weekend-after notes



Brian, re:

Actually, my copy of the same is pretty clean. Although in all fairness, I've
heard vinyl boots which copied it and those seem to be picking up a lot of
noise, so it may be a "pressing" problem with the "batch"... What's fairly
ironic, is that the knockoff boot, "Lifehouse At Leeds" (rarer than the
original bearing the similar name), has a very clean "Young Man Blues"
(studio) and a very noisy "A Quick One While He's Away" obviously recorded
from the same album. Unless there's a problem, this track WILL make it's way
to the new "Odds & Sods"...

Funny, but a few years back at a record store in NYC, I had the opportunity
to buy another fairly mint copy of "The House That Track Built" for $15, but
sometimes I get into a mood like, "don't be a <Riker> hog and let some other
Who fan buy it!" On the other hand, having stuff for trades is good too...
After all, how many copies of the Meher Baba albums do I REALLY need???
