Yeah, I posted Tchaikovsky’s 6th Symphony only three months ago, but that was before my medical troubles were uncovered. This is the performance that I know best, having purchased an LP copy in college.

Hooked on Needles
Something I realized rather quickly with CD (and also DVD), is the players are commodities. I have never felt the same personal connection for a disc player the way I always have for my speakers, headphones, receivers, turntables, and phono cartridges. Yes, even phono cartridges.
These are a few of the pickups, as cartridges used to be known, that I remember fondly.
The Pickering V15 came installed on my Garrard 40B turntable, way back in early 1972. Five years later, the Stanton 500 was on the Micro-Trak tonearms of the Russco Cue-Master turntables at the radio station.
The Shure M91ED was purchased to replace the Pickering.
The Audio-Technica AT-13Ea lived on my JVC VL-5 turntable.
The 1960s’ Hump Year
115 songs that hit big in 1965, featuring the second wave of the British Invasion, Folk Rock, and Motown.
Paul and Answer
Listen to “I Dig a Pony” at the 2:00 mark.
For ages I was never entirely certain if the “oooo” and the “ohhh” were both by John. It’s Paul, then John.
John was known for having trouble remembering lyrics, even for songs he had written. As seen here, an assistant was holding a clipboard for John’s reference.
