Sometimes it's a movie you'd never heard of that becomes one you really like. Just finished watching the film CHUCK. It's a docudrama about Chuck Wepner, the boxer who went almost 15 rounds with Ali in 1975. Liev Schrieber is excellent as the title character. Interesting theme of the movie is that Wepner was influenced to be a boxer by watching a famous pugilist film and then his boxing career, especially his bout with Ali, influenced the making of another famous boxing movie. I'm sure you can guess what film that was.

Inner sleeve of LP appears to be black & white, but when moistened they reveal themselves to have pastel hues. Each cover variant (A-B-C-D-E or F on spine) has its own variant inner sleeve.

Hrmmm. Settling in and listening to something I know a bit better and maybe I am just smitten by this project but if anything the sound seems to have tightened up some. Detail more pronounced, bass tighter, harmonics lingering a bit longer. Would that make any sense with a the vinyl on a harder surface? Or maybe that’s just due to a more optimal VTA?
Rearranged the room a bit...giving some KLH towers a spin beside the Novas.....

Very cool. I knew about the cover variants but didn’t know the inners were also different!
Guess is Rocky. Watched it last night for first time in probably 10 years.
Did not know that, Thanks

That's correct, NFS. In fact, Stallone wanted to give Wepner a small role in Rocky II, but Chuck was so messed up with coke, he couldn't do his lines(pardon the pun.)
Further off-topic: About 10 years ago, we saw a Broadway production of Arthur Miller's A View From The Bridge. I have to admit that I went to see Scarlett Johansson, but Schreiber just blew me away as the forlorn longshoreman. Now I want to see him playing the Bayonne Bleeder. Did you stream it somewhere?
