I bought the Townes album when it came out, and starting about '81' I opened for Townes in Austin and was an invited guest to the often Sunday Party close to our old Airport in town. I helped celebrate the Birth of his child and (as usual) ended up with Townes (he was not a strong person) trying to beat me up because I suggested that one day his KID might be a musician like he was. I really can't ever be mad at Townes. Like most people I knew in Austin making music they were kind people with 'terrible drug habits.' .... Chris Layton introduced me to 'John Hammond' over the phone. Hammond talked about me coming to NYC (over the course several weeks of calls) to do a Test Record, but he had a stroke and never recovered. So... Austin and rubbing elbows did help. Willie's (Nelson) group of investments in clubs in Austin sustained me for a few years in the late 90s and early 2000. Willie's son would come and talk to me and tell me how they were going to own more clubs and I was going lead in jobs. If only the Law hadn't wanted to put me in Jail for 5 to 15 years I might have Recorded an album. I didn't quit music though and after relocation, for a time in the NEW area I worked almost 7 nights a week in over 1,000 venues and 4,000 paid gigs 2004/2013. So... Knowing a few Musicians and Music Writers was a nice perk.

Love the set up. I had the same Technics, original from the 80s, turntable, but alas, it got stolen. I have been concentrating on Duals, with the ULM, from the early 80s. They are still a bargain, but they, too, are being bid up. The ULM series are a diamond in the rough because many do not know about that tonearm. Audio is not a sprint, it's a marathon. It's too easy to get caught up and over buy in the beginnings. I am still happy with my Marantz 2270, my pioneer cr-f1250, RSL and ESS speakers, pioneer eq, etc. all original. I really love my funky Superscope TD-28 8 track player in Superscope pink.

Then take the cards (you can cut them smaller if you want) and SUPERGLUE the cards around the corners to secure them & place then under the TT. ...Playing cards also DAMPEN vibrations. Playing cards *used card* are about .25 cents per deck and a good means to make your record sound shine.

Those Japanese pressings will not give you the best sound quality. For that, you have to know which stampers to seek out, and they differ from album to album. But the best ones are never from Japan. I imagine that many Japanese pressing sound very good. But they will never be able to compete with the right white-hot stampers from elsewhere (and elsewhere could be the USA (and a specific pressing plant in the USA), England, Germany, etc, -- it all depends on the album).

Of course it varies. I have all the original UK Vertigo pressings of every Sabbath album. Like I said in the video I haven’t had time to listen to that copy of Paranoid yet but I’ve heard from many people that it’s one of the best. It really comes down to preference and sometimes just luck. Even the right matrix number doesn’t guarantee it’ll sound like the others in that pressing. It’s a good start though. I love my Robert Ludwig Zeppelin II. Back to the best Sabbath pressings, of course the UK Vertigo are smokin’. For Sabotage I prefer the US WB palm trees and my favorite Vol. 4 is not UK, Japanese or US. Not German either. Just a little secret of mine but boy does it sound AMAZING.

@@noahlyon "Even the right matrix number doesn’t guarantee it’ll sound like the others in that pressing. It’s a good start though." Exactly. Go with the stamper known for the best sound quality, and that increases your odds on landing a great sounding pressing. If you go with some other stamper, then your chances of landing a gem are zero. "I love my Robert Ludwig Zeppelin II." You have the right one. Treasure it. It is highly sought after by people that know about it. Even if you had $10 grand to spend on one, you simply cannot go on to Amazon and order one. Keep it safe. "Back to the best Sabbath pressings, of course the UK Vertigo are smokin’" I did not know that. "Not German either." The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour's German pressing is the best. For sound quality, do not even consider any other Magical Mystery Tour pressing.
