Lucky Windows 7 made this trio of posts a real battle but, despite heavy casualties in Easy Company 1011011, the good guys won.

Tomorrow I will post scans of the album sleeves that destroyed my previous hard drive. These scans will be made possible with support from the brilliant engineering department at the General Electric Aircraft Engines plant in Evendale, OH. I can’t give enough thanks for the help.

In the mean time, while you wait for commercial grade JoNew scans,  open your heart to DISC 3.

Ok, so I installed Windows 7 and it’s been a mess getting all of my previous settings back in order for record ripping. I think it’s all sorted out but if you encounter any problems please let me know so that I can get the fixed ASAP.

One curious thing I did notice about this disc is how off-center the hole is on the record. This caused the needle to sway back and forth like an Alaskan crab fishing vessel while the record spun, which was quite a sight to see. Luckily, my Technics SL-10 is a zero tracking error champion so it didn’t affect the playback. However, I wonder how it would fare on a more rudimentary turntable.

Despite this I recommend picking up a hard copy from Drag City at this link. Just make sure you have your tonearm set up right.

But while you wait for your box set to arrive via Karl “The Mailman” Malone check out disc two of Have One On Me.

My laptop crashed so I’m attempting the near impossible: posting this through my Wii. It’s giving me motion sickness. I’ll be attending Joanna’s Cincy tour stop at Memorial Hall on the 30th so check back for a review and the next two discs of “Have One On Me”.
