I recall "Creature Features" with some guy with glasses and smoking a big 'ol cigar. I can't recall if the "price slasher" sponsored that or
not, but I got great pleasure in scaring my brother half to death when they showed "Creature from the Dark Lagoon."
He was scared for ever and I had him believing that the "Creature's" brother was called a "Prowler". He'd hear about the prowler on the news or I'd show him something in the news paper about a "Prowler" and he'd
be all scared about it again.
My little brother had to do a lot of things for me to keep him safe too. He really had to earn his life.
But hey, that's what older brother's are for, to keep their little brothers in line.
Cheers,

Thanks Mr. Pass.
You are in par with him in terms of this community’s respect, so you are the appropriate person to give Mr. Linkwitz our warmest wishes.
No one knows when it may come.
Good people cater all their life to have their inner debts arranged (Charlie be good).

There was a time when JBL had some of the best industrial designers:
JBL Paragon D44000WXA
AQUARIUS
Not so much any more.
And for a new subject, the practical history of recording.
Many of the recordings I like were done live. Well before recording gizmos were small. I tend to prefer early recordings made on the Ampex 350 machines in stereo. When the Scully 280 became popular in the mid 60's it had a tape distortion compensation circuit. Something that I find colors things when listened to with modern equipment.
Then of course multitrack recording became the standard and by the late 60s just about every successful studio had adopted them.
I find multi track studio recordings are generally better with a direct field listening environment, but we should not forget the LEDE design influence.
The Live End if the control room was the back wall and the Dead End was the front wall with the monitor loudspeakers. It seems some diffused reflections were desired for mixing.
And even farther afield Stereophile Class C loudspeakers include one that my cost was $17.00 EACH. They should be in on Tuesday.
The intent now is to finish my homes in listening space with the ability to pick direct or diffuse field depending on the recording.
Cell phone tipping so please ignore the mistakes.

Some of the early Takoma blues revival LP's were done on Ampex IIRC some even in mono with cheap spring reverb. A nice low-fi sort of sound. I forgot which cut it was but there was one audience recording done with a borrowed early Nagra (portable?) which stood out as very different. David Lewiston's Tibetan field recordings were on Nagra's IIRC (some of my personal treasures).

A good example of the fairly abrupt change in technology are the recordings of "This is your land" by The Brothers Four, The Kingston Trio and Peter, Paul & Mary.
For a great example of musical interpretation, compare "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" by Peter, Paul and Mary vs a version by Marlene Dietrich. The German version is even more interesting. Probably have to count on George to find a clean web version.
