Jeff Beck – Wired (24/96 vinyl rip/with artwork)
Original 1976 US pressing (Epic PE 33849)
Vinyl condition - NM
OK...I decided to quit screwing around and do a serious rip. I was gonna take a long break, but started having vinyl withdrawal, so I guess I'm going to continue as long as I'm able. I won't post as much as I used to , just when I can find time. I thought this was a good one to bust the cherry on the latest incarnation of my rig...the recent upgrades made a HUGE difference in the sound quality of my captures (at 192, instead of 96). BTW, this is maxed out, just shy of clipping...Jeff as he should be heard, especially on this LP.
