Back int he late 70s when I first started going to High End audio shops in Rochester, Countdown to Ecstasy and Aja were two of the LPs I always brought with me, usually with Tarkus (ELP), Selling England By The Pound by Genesis, and Godbluff by Van der Graaff Generator. I'll actually have all of those (though in digital format) with me in my room at LAAS. Not expecting to play any of them very much though.Steve Lefkowicz

In case anyone is interested, I have about a dozen or so master DAT recordings of Libby Titus' (Fagan) NY Nights band from the Lone Star in NYC, circa 1990. The recordings are packed with special guests. I am in the process of transferring these to my hard drive, tracking and tagging the files. At some point I will either torrent or dropbox the shows. They all sound stellar.Speakers: Vandersteen Model 7s, 4 M&K ST-150Ts, 1 VCC-5; Amplification: 2 Vandersteen M7-HPAs, CI Audio D200 MKII, Ayre V-6xe; Preamp: Doshi Audio Line Stage v3.0; Phono Pre: Doshi Audio V3 Phono Pre; Analog: Wave Kinetics NVS; Durand Telos and SME 3012R Tonearms, Clearaudio Goldfinger Statement v2; Miyajima Zero; Reel to Reel: Technics RS-1500; Doshi Tape Pre-Amp; Studer A810; Studer A812; Tascam BR-20; Multi-channel: Bryston SP-3; Digital: Custom PC> Lampizator PacificComment
