Nothing on this year's Record Store Day drop list caught my eye so last week I picked up at Rhino Records in Claremont the original '67 mono mix of Piper At The Gates Of Dawn (thanks to JCO25 for getting this for me).
This 180g mastering, a former 2018 RSD exclusive that I missed out on, was just recently re-pressed in Germany for regular release. Sounds really nice...

Can never go wrong with that one. 
I have the double-LP 45 rpm Pallas press of Rumours mastered by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at AcousTech. That's the definitive go-to of that album for me.
Instead of what's on my turntable this time, I'm helping get the word out that a 48-year landmark Southern California record store is back...
Rhino Records - formerly at the Village in Claremont - opens its relocated store in Montclair today, just east of Montclair Place Mall. Somehow a lot of incorrect info got online that Rhino permanently closed in late June, with little to no indication that a move to a brand new location was slowly but surely making progress over the summer.
I got a soft-open invite to the new store yesterday and HAD to go check it out...
CDs, books, T-shirts, equipment and of course a big vinyl selection (both new and used)...

The guy in the red shirt is Jeremy (Pinsider @JCO25), his family owns the business...
Here's to the continued success and legacy of Rhino Records, and best of luck to Jeremy and everyone at the new location.
Quoted from Evets:Just reposting your picture of Rhino Records for the same reason(s) you've mentioned. I was there yesterday. It's a nice set up, but I treat records stores with more than the usual amount of nostalgia and I miss their presence in the college town of Claremont. Picked up some nice used copies of classic rock from the 70s. Good to see the familiar faces.

Yes, it won't be the same experience as going to the Claremont Village as many times as I did over nearly 30 years. But the move was necessary -- an issue of escalating rent. And the way I look at it, we're extremely lucky they're still with us when so many other B&M music stores, both chain locations and independents, have met states of demise the past decade or so. And we can't forget that Rhino themselves were forced to let their Riverside right arm Mad Platter go almost 2 years ago due to the pandemic.
I know that there was a line of 60+ people at the new location when the doors opened for the first time Friday. That tells me they'll do just fine there.

Nice Acoustic Research turntable! I used to have the flagship AR model XA (manufactured 1971).
Quoted from fnosm:I found this in:
The Pinside Animated Gif Thread! By hAbO
and figured a copy should be in this thread as well
Here is the link to original

That made me cringe, that poor Shure...

Love Zombies' O&O -- great album!

Not at all.
I have something like 6 or 7 masterings/versions of Who's Next, vinyl & CD combined.
Considered by some a 1968 psychedelic rock gem, even though the band went no further than this initial album (and no formal single from it according to 45worlds). Most of its sound is reminiscent of Cream but perhaps a little heavier, a little slower in places.
A lot of studio and writing contribution came from Felix Pappalardi, who of course went on to form the band Mountain ("Mississippi Queen").
Unfortunately my vinyl+cover I've had since the mid '70s are partially trashed from so much use; I need to find a better copy...
