The package is in the hands of the USPS today. I hope you receive it in a timely manner. I've had European shipments arrive as early as 9 days. Byrdparis received his in 10 days. Unfortunately there's no consistency.

Thoughts Mike? Not fishing for compliments, especially regarding the music. But interested in your perspective on the sound and pressings. Would love to hear from David Karmeli as well.
I'm considering making another anaolog recording probably live to two track. I'm happy to respond to any questions or comments about the music.

Received today. Sadly, no system to listen to it on until my new house is completed. It's been tough not having a stereo system since March, but they are telling me the new house will be completed in November!

AnalogPlanet readers comment:
Roy Martin – might very well be “reissue of the year“
fetusi – Great songs, great sound, dead quiet vinyl. This will be a staple in my rotation.
vinylrules – Really loved it. A top notch production through and through.
richiep – I found myself repeating it because the music and recording was first rate. It would be great if everyone took the same care in their reproduction of the music they write and perform since it lasts forever! The vinyl is dead quiet and his sound enters your musical feelings. More please!
kruhlin – What a wonderfully fresh album, sonically superb and flawlessly pressed album.
Discogs.com:
DenverDude – This sound is as clean as a whistle. An all-analogue pressing done right. Zero pops/clicks, flat pressing, amazing mastering and superb dynamics. It might also be one of the best pieces of wax I own when it comes to soundstaging, as each instrument has its own distinct place on the soundstage. Wonderful listening experience, and highly recommended.
savakntr – Wonderful work and exceptional sound as expected. Amazing musicianship and great performance.

Numbered and unnumbered copies still available at www.michaelweiss.info/recordings.htm

Hi Steve,
Congratulations on your new home. Glad you were able to finally get the discs out of the jacket and that you enjoyed the music.
