What's Spinning

Prince & the New Power Generation - Diamonds and Pearls

Note to self - make sure to switch from 45rpm to 33 rpm before dropping the needle. Prince sounded like a chipmunk on Thunder at 45!
I spun This Is Brian Jackson earlier and listened to a whole side of a Tim Carman Trio record before I realized I had not switched it back to 33. Wasn’t a close listen, obviously, but I was like that seemed shorter than I remember.

Starting the long deep dive into this era of Prince with the 3lp live. Really nice looking box set. Going to take some effort just to get these cleaned and resleeved. Nice.

The cd box is nice too. They even fixed the problem with the last set. Instead of putting the cds in the back of the book in little pockets that they could easily fall out of, the CDs are in a gate sleeve style doohickey that is in the sleeve with the book (which I suppose means the book is identical to the vinyl) and each cd is contained in one of those lp replica jackets.
