AnalogPlanet Radio

Today’s show covers new and recent vinyl releases but it begins with a tribute to recent fallen rock heroes. There’s also a false start (two actually) so give it a minute to get going because it’s a very entertaining show!

An IKEA IVAR shelf full of records came tumbling down a few weeks ago. Fortunately no records or people were injured. The shelving was old, the records heavy, and the glue failed that had held together the upright’s cross members. (Photo show a pair of Pryma headphones from Sonus Faber. Beyonce worse a pair in the "Lemonade" video.) I thought I'd monitor the show in style.

This is Analogplanet Radio's second WFDU HD2 Warner Brothers Records Tribute Show available for streaming here and on the WFDU.fm website. I think this is another great show! And if I don't say it, who will?

Analogplanet Radio's show today pays tribute to Warner Brothers/Reprise Records. The "golden age" of the merged labels was in the late '60s/early 1970s when it had the hippest lineup, hippest promotions and advertising and everything was "golden", though the WB label had gone green!

As you’ll hear, I woke up the other morning with, for some reason, thoughts of WTFM, the first FM radio station in the New York metropolitan area to broadcast in multiplex stereo.

The great Glyn Johns produced and engineered Eric Clapton’s upcoming album all-analog. It was recorded to 2 inch tape, mixed to ½ inch tape and Bernie Grundman cut lacquers from the tape—this according to my friend Tom Biery.

This week’s Analogplanet radio show celebrates spring Perusing the spring related songs in the record collection demonstrated that many were tinged with melancholy and sadness, which was not at all what was expected.
