Thanks for the comments Rick. I don’t play this a lot but it’s a fun record, and it seems to annoy some people which makes it even more fun. Around our house a lot of vinyl gets ripped to MP3, but I personally love playing vinyl records. I rarely listen to music as a secondary activity anyhow. Best, Tracy

By the way, “Mack The Knife” =is= the first track on side 2 here. And I’d vote for any politician that will enable beer to be delivered. Sure beats milk (unless it comes in them organic, natural containers).

I live in an apartment building where people chuck all sorts of things away in the garbage room in the basement (half the stuff in my apartment is perfectly good, often brand new items that someone threw away. Anyway, just got a stack of LPs someone threw out, and this album was among them. One of my little hobbies is collecting albums as MP3s off the internet, and also converting anything I can get my hands on to MP3 (19,000+ so far). So right now I’m playing this album on a Hitachi HT 40-S direct drive table, through my Pioneer SX-980, and a patch cord from the headphone jack runs into the back of the Creative Labs Audigy 2, captured as a .wav by GoldWave and ultimately saved as an MP3. This is a great sounding album, no matter whether you like that type of music or not (I generally avoid it). The sheer variety of percussion and other sounds on it almost qualifies it as a “sound effects” album. I’m playing it back on a 5.1 set of speakers, so I get sort of the spirit of quadrophonic sound. Although I usually get rid of the vinyl once I have a good rip, I’ll keep this one!
