Not many better things than EST live. I'm hoping they're going to release more live stuff as I've got Hamburg / Gothenburg / London. Also, I'm v happy as I picked up 301 in Helsinki recently (my last missing EST release).

Interesting but odd one for anybody who likes James Brandon Lewis. I found this on a recent trip to Finland, on the great We Jazz Label. It's completely anonymous but it's his old Trio performing live recorded in 2019. The recording is decent but definitely live. Last song is Fear Not, which he...

Hmm, I fear @Mather is right. My machine lost all power today in the middle of a cycle (I was nowhere near it). It's a bit like old-fashioned headphones - you have to twirl the cable until sound comes out (or in the HG's case, the white light comes on). Not good - not least as I suspect the...

I'll probably come up with more tomorrow but this is my instinctive list Paul McCartney 20 Mike Mills (REM) 10 Charles Mingus 10 James Jamerson 10 Dan Berglund (EST) 10 John Paul Jones 10 Bootsy Collins 10 Ron Carter 10 Robert Sledge (Ben Folds Five) 10

Remarkably, this has done the trick. Thanks so much!

I don't know if it's the same thing but any big swings in the value of my collection (eg the time it grew and fell by £3,000 in a day) I now put down to changes in my currency (pounds) versus the dollar. That would probably explain the small differences, but not the big ones.

Thanks. I'll try when I'm home again. Putting the cable in the machine felt weird this time. It was like it caught differently. I just never looked at the end of it carefully enough to know if something had changed or not.

Another month, another problem. Just wondering if anybody had any experience of this. Last used the machine about a week ago and all was well. Plugged in the cable this morning and when I tried to turn it on nothing happened. Power cable seems to be OK (the black box has the green light on), but...

Agreed - but I feel like I've replaced just about everything now. And I can tell that what I did to compensate for the pump not working properly has driven it hard. Maybe it just makes sense to keep on replacing each bit that breaks but feels like there must be a point where it's time to throw...

All fixed and working fine. Such a relief. Replacing the water pump turned out to be as easy, maybe easier, than the other things. Seems to be working properly now. (I did carry on using it and it completely broke down a week ago so I'm v happy to have it back). It feels like maybe the next...

Just sold my Vol 2 (never my favourite show) for £205 on Ebay, which on checking I see is higher than the Discogs max #smugface (In fact, I sold three vinyl boxsets, all at v good prices so there's still air in the vinyl bubble)

John Bonham - 20 Yehouessi Leopold (Poly-Rythmo) - 20 Tony Williams - 10 Jack DeJohnette - 10 Clyde Stubblefield - 10 Reni (Stone Roses) - 10 Tony Allen - 10 Benny Benjamin (Motown) - 10

Always happy when it's a light RSD. Sister Rosetta Tharpe looks the most intriguing thing on there for me.

Togo Soul 2 from the great Hot Casa records

After more than a week. HG finally replied and offered me a new water pump for $26 or so incl shipping. I'm tempted to take it. That said, it's working OK at the moment - I just need to drain the water three times. (It's somewhat of a pain, but I can't tell you how much better it is than the...

Vinegar didn't work. Think it must be some kind of pump issue. It's getting slower to drain. A normal tank now takes nearly two full drain cycles to empty...

I'll be annoyed if it really is the soundtrack ie it includes the bits of dialogue - "I've got a tape I want to play", "Does anybody have any questions?" - that the recent release annoyingly left off. They're part of the charm. Also the tape supposedly sticking during Psycho Killer.

Yes, I've wondered about this. I put a spike both ways down the hole (from the top and bottom of the machine) to clear any blockage. I think your pump explanation could well be the best. (Opening up the machine left me quite confused as to how the water actually drains). Somehow though the...

Yes, I agree. My last time was quite frustrating as they asked a new simple question each time. I replied immediately. Had to wait 24 hours for them to ask something else (rather than all of them in one go). Then taking an age to send stuff. This problem was a particular mystery as for a long...
