Spinning a Christmas present in the bedroom on one of the RX2s:  CCR Chronicle.

OK guys, is it OFFICIAL; the new Bette Midler album “It’s the Girls” is amazing: Amazing, fantastic, remarkable….. oh I gotta say it, stunning.

Today I had the opportunity to play the LP on the mighty McIntosh 2255 and my magnificent Beogram 4000 combination. (My God I LOVE this turntable!)

I chose the 45 rpm version of “Be My Baby” and at 175 watts per channel (I was using a rare touch of “maturity” in not pressing the volume further) and the performance sounded REAL. That is to say R E A L!

If you like Bette Midler I say buy this LP record. If it doesn’t sound exactly like Bette Midler is singing right in your home, demand your money back.

The two-record set is superb, not least of which due to the clever PINK record pressing, but esthetics aside, the sound quality is astonishing.

This record was by far my BEST Christmas gift.

Happy New Year everyone!

Come on, Jeff, stop being so vague.  How do you really feel about the new Bette Midler album?

I think he meant it is Official Real Pink, Happy new year Jeff

Hi Søren and Rich,

Yea a little over kill on the Bette Midler promotion, as if I were an LP salesperson, but the truth is, the LP is remarkable.

Thanks guys for the New Year’s wishes, which I return in kind. Happy New Year!

The only flaw in the slaw for me is my mother unexpectedly died December 31^st morning. Just destroyed New Years for me in Victoria.

My mother and I shared a very special relationship…. very, so as a tribute : this is my mom and I.

Very sorry to hear that Jeff, my condolences, both my parents died years ago, its like losing a piece of one self, you never get over it, but you learn to live with it.

Hi Søren,

Thank you.

I am still in the utter and complete disbelief stage. This only happened two days ago.

Most of the time I am fine, not happy and a bit depressed…. and then always without the slightest warning I start crying. Honest, I never see or feel it coming.

The last “episode” hit when I posted the picture of my mother and I, and in closing the page said to myself, “Goodbye mom” and the intense crying just started.

Wow, hit number two in retelling this right now. I think I found a trigger, which I am going to avoid from now on.

I know we adjust and I will too, but right now it is just plain awful.

Thanks for the kind remarks.

Jeff
