[LOU/REALM]

Another track by the highly underated US prog band STARCASTLE. I think the band have shrugged of the YES clone tag and now the albums are highly sought after.
Spotted the highly rated "Citadel" album on vinyl the other day and I was so..so tempted.The albums have recently been remastered on cd and sound good

Diamond song

^^You should follow Sox's lead and get a turntable again LOU the old stuff still sounds better on wax than digital. I know I don't regret reinvesting in vinyl again, I love holding the gatefolds' in my hands.

It was too bad Starcastle got tagged as a Yes Wannabee, they did some excellent albums over their career.

I have a new turntable LG [Marantz] Denon amp and don't laugh.......Wharfedale speakers like Sweaty. It would have been lovely to have got "Citadel" on vinyl...pretty rare over here in the uk. Unfortunately when I went back for it the stall had packed up and gone home. Yeah still love my vinyl !

I would never laugh LOU,,,although all 3 of you are now officially in the Wharfedale gang.

Glad you have a turntable, what cartridge are you running right now? I like Marantz I have 3 pieces I bought less than 2 years ago now and just sold an old vintage receiver I don't use anymore. If it were one of the really top models I wouldn't have parted with it, but I've got so much gear it was time to move some of it out.

Starcastle is easy to find in our 2nd hand vinyl shops.
