Jimmy Buffett, Life on the Flip Side was released on May 29, 2020. "Jimmy Buffett opens his 30th studio album with some thankful notes of reflection. “We all know just how lucky we are,” he sings over a breezy, south-of-the-border-tinged melody on “Down At the La Di Da,” an ode to a perfect beach bar “at the end of the world.” One song later, he pauses to wonder, “How did I get this lucky?” over the infectious island-tinged groove of “Who Gets To Live Like This.” Of course, as a pirate looking at 73 who’s worth $600 million, Buffett has a lot to feel good about, and he continues m

Deap Lips, Deap Lips was released on March 13, 2020. "The Flaming Lips have been making arty rock for nearly four decades, and over time the Oklahoma City-based group has become known for unusual collaborations, from pop star Miley Cyrus to the Denver Symphony Orchestra. Now, the band's frontman Wayne Coyne and multi-instrumentalist Steven Drozd have teamed with Deap Vally, a Los Angeles guitar-and-drum duo. The project is called Deap Lips, as is its self-titled debut album." You can read the rest of the review here...

Inglorious, We Will Ride was released on February 12, 2021. "British rock band, Inglorious drops another hard set on their fourth album We Will Ride that comes across as a love letter to rock n’ roll and hard rock. Released February 12, 2021 on Frontier Music s.r.l. and produced by Romesh Gogandoda (Bring Me The Horizon, Bullet For My Valentine, Motörhead), the record is full of brilliantly captured songs and performances that transmit the greatness of big, bold, and melodic rock music to anyone fortunate enough to be within earshot. The sessions went down according to social dista

Hi Troy. It's good to have you back. We have a member here that might be able to repair your damaged ribbons. @sea . You might send him a pm.

I'm not sure what "it" refers to, but the one step process is fairly new. It was introduced with Santana Abraxas UD1S 2-001, and I believe it was 2016. Their SuperVinyl is also relatively new, but they're also using it on some other albums. Two that I know of are Bob Dylan Desire, and Elvis Costello & Burt Bacharach Painted From Memory. The Bob Dylan album was a limited release of 2000 at $75, now out of print and being listed on ebay in the $300 neighborhood. The Costello & Bacharach album is also sold out. The last one of those I saw on ebay was $150. It was limited to 2000 copies a

There is a bit more than weight involved with the UD1S albums. Mobile Fidelity has a 1 step process of pressing the discs instead of 3 steps. They're now using a proprietary SuperVinyl, and all of the UD1S albums are 45 rpm discs. You can read more about the process here...

The Chicago Underground Quartet, Good Days was released on January 20, 2020. "Mazurek, Taylor, and Parker have collectively worked on dozens of projects and their telepathy is long-established. Johnson is an excellent, if somewhat understated addition, and his piano work shines here. Parker's contributions to Good Days can't be applauded enough; whether complex or simple, his playing is always meaningful. Chicago Underground releases are always welcome; this one is a superior example of what maturity and openness can net." You can read the rest of the review here...
