Bill Evans 45 RPM 180g Audiophile Vinyl Giveaway

[jsaliga]

I've been in a bit of a funk for the past several weeks and I just took a couple of positive steps to deal with it yesterday and this morning.  I've been way over worked and way over stressed.  So today I cleared my calendar and took the afternoon off.  Holy smokes I almost forgot what it was like to listen to music and not have to cram it in with work.

I'm in a good mood today and thought I would give a duplicate record out my collection away.  So that is just what I'm going to do.  Here is a minty copy of Everybody Digs Bill Evans, on two 45 RPM 180g vinyl LPs cut by Kevin Gray and remastered by Steve Hoffman, courtesy of Analogue Productions.  The LPs were pressed at RTI.  I bought this from Acoustic Sounds for $50 when it first came out several years ago and then later upgraded to the Complete Bill Evans Riverside Recordings AP 45 RPM boxed set.  So this is now a duplicate.



It has been on my turntable once.  I will cover the cost of shipping to the lucky winner.  All AN members are eligible.  To enter the drawing simply post a reply in this thread and ask to be entered.  If you post a comment but don't ask to be entered then you will not be entered.

On Sunday at 6:00PM I will put all of the entries into a numbered list in the order they are posted in this thread, and then use Random.org to take a random drawing.  The results will be posted here and the winner notified by PM.  I'll ship the record out as soon as the winner provides a mailing address.

I only ask one thing of people entering the drawing.  I have done these giveaways a few times on other forums in the past and on one occasion the winner took my record and then flipped it a week later on eBay.  Please don't do this.  I would really prefer to see this album go to someone who truly loves this music and plans to keep it.

I would love a good copy of this album, count me in.
I have a reissue and it's not bad but it does have surface noise and the CD copy is just OK.
If I win this record you will have pry it out of cold dead hands.

I don't think Evan can be eligible till he figures out how to setup his tt.

Woohoo!  No better way to get back to spinning more vinyl than to win this little gem.   Count me in as well!

That's extremely generous of you Jerome!  (hmmm, maybe you should have work funks more often

Lord I hope not.  I was seriously thinking about curtailing my participation here and replacing that time with more work-related stress.   I finally came to my senses last night and have been jettisoning some of the stress sources and will be replacing them with more music and relaxation.  One can only take so many 60 plus hour work weeks in a pressure-cooker environment.  It usually is not this bad but I have been spread too thin in recent weeks and it's time to reign it in.  I can't get rid of all the stress but I can establish some sensible limits.
