I hope so. I havent listened to it yet but I like "now he sings..." his other album. I got it for $4 so not a bad score for a Jazz album. I'm finding out they get expensive because everyone likes Jazz.

First day at diggin'!* :-D I went to Goodwill and St. Vincent De Paul [closeby]. The Goodwill had the majority of my purchases [[email protected] each vs. 2 [.50 and 1.99].

I actually don't yet have a record player, but I wanted to have some music to get started [with] once I do. The turntable is supposed to arrive on Saturday; it's on the low-end side.

*note: I did buy one record before, Pink Floyd - Relics, at a garage sale when I was younger (~10 years ago). I ended up giving it away? Maybe.

A lot of fun, a lot of dust [especially at St. Vincent De Paul] :hmmm:

I did spot this Barbara Streisand record; that is noted in Secondhand Sureshots w/ J Rocc. This is just a clip of the documentary. You can find the record at/around :50. I actually thought, for a while, about picking it up. :nod:

I got the Bob James' records, on the recommendation in one of the Crate Digger videos, if I remember, and if I'm not mistaken, it was DJ Jazzy Jeff or Pete Rock. I watched a bunch before I left today.

Related thoughts:
-Condition is important.
-Curiosity [the cover and/or theme].
-Label/Artist/Band/Album [if I've heard similar or another version [CD/MP3] and enjoy].
-Value [monetary vs. residual]
-Pass on Andy Williams, Barbara Streisand, Perry Como [any more I should know about]---unless in excellent or unused condition.

[b]Cheers! and happy diggin'.

I have both of those Bob James albums, Earth Wind and Fire, and that Haunted sounds album. Its like peterpiper said. I hope you dont plan on buying anything other than records because your about to start buying tons of records now!!! "One of us, one of us, one of us!!!" :lol:

^^A choice I wouldn't have made. I dont like plastic platters especially if their size is smaller than 12" (smaller than the record) and also the needle is a fixed one (you can change it but you can't switch to a better needle from another brand). I also think this device is overpriced. Just my opinion

Valid points, but I wanted a small turntable to use on the move and this fit the bill. I would've preferred to pay less, of course.

What's the best adapter or best way to go from rca outputs to trs 1/4" inputs?
