King Crimson | Format: flac

This is going to take a few more listening sessions to get comfortable with. Good thing I like jazz, it helps here.

I'm glad you are learning about and enjoying Fripp and company, but boy, are you doing it backwards.  Hardest to easiest.

Up the Downstair [Import, Special Limited Edition, Double LP]
Porcupine Tree | Format - vinyl

Finally found PT vinyl for under $100, this and Voyager 34, though they averaged out at $32 per.

Still, the crazy red vinyl sounds great.

Bashin: The Unpredictable Jimmy Smith
Jimmy Smith | Format: Vinyl

The Hammond B3 courtesy of Shirley Scott on the Dexter Gordon lp earlier today, now Jimmy Smith's turn. Nice album, and clean vinyl with Van Gelder in the dead wax.
