Excellent. I had some time also over the 4-day weekend, to finally get my tape decks into a proper rack. (You can't see the rest of the room yet, it ain't ready.)

just spent the long holiday weekend at my folks' country home (8 hillside acres)... mostly listened to 70s to 90s and Christmas music on my mother's Pioneer surround system, but took some pictures of the system that defined my youth!
When it was in the basement of the house I grew up in... it had a matching dual cassette and a turntable and was plugged into a pair of BSR 15" 3-ways from the DAK catalog. The power amp was designed by one of my father's friends who designed studio electronics professionally. My father had a guy in his shop build it for him... for the price of double the components so the guy could build his own too. My father doesn't use it often any more (I always got way more use out of the system than he did!)... I think it was a status item for him more than anything. He use to bring friends down to the finished basement and play them the disco version of the 5th of Beethoven or something from Fleetwood Mac louder than comfortable... and then it was over. Not a lot of chilling to music.
Once my kid goes down... I'm going to go blast my greatest hits from 83-86 on my system (my high school years that this was the system in the basement) and pretend I'm 14 again!!

I passed on a beat up copy of this in LP at the local thirft.
So I will have to settle for my CD of it for now.
Now playing:
Santan Abraxas
That was one of the albums my father owned that I would listen to on the system above!

Was playing a Rhino release. 5 cd' s covering Billboard's top hits of the early to mid 60's. Remastered by Bill Inglot. He usually does a good job and did here too. Starts off with Booker T's Green Onions. The set is a pretty good representation of popular music of the day.

I was at one of the local thrifts today.
I found a bunch of LP's, luckily for me.
In the box of LP's was a large 'booklet', if that's what it is called.
It is green with just the initials PP&M on a leafy background.
An inside page has handwritten names and dates of 2-26-67.
It may have been someones souvenir from overseas, I am not sure.
It looked nice with Peter Paul and Mary photos through out its 15-16 pages, so I bought it.
I almost fell over when I was looking it over at home.
I found this photo inside.
So super cool.
Will need to play me some early Beatles, and Peter Paul and Mary.

Beats me....I had a couple of suitcase record players. Then I bought my first brand new system. A JVC NIVICO with a BSR stacker and an 8 Track. I thought it was badass...just spent the long holiday weekend at my folks' country home (8 hillside acres)... mostly listened to 70s to 90s and Christmas music on my mother's Pioneer surround system, but took some pictures of the system that defined my youth!
