Plastic Soul Lives

On October 17, Amazon.com created a section devoted to vinyl records.

One of D.F. Rogers’ possessions that I envy him having is the complete British catalog (or, should I say, “catalogue”) of Beatles albums put out by Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs in the early 1980’s. The box set now goes for big bucks on eBay. I have a couple of the individual discs. The general consensus is the records sound better than the CDs; which is understandable, considering the digital mastering was done with first-generation equipment over 20 years ago.

I admit I’m not a rabid sports fan, but I live in the Boston area, so I’m glad the Curse of the Bambino really is gone, with two World Series wins in four seasons. Before the Red Sox beat Cleveland I heard a sports commentator on NPR say it didn’t matter who won the American League title, because nobody should bet against Colorado.
