I am a BIG ABBA fan.

Given how much music "likes" we have in common, this suprises me Paul. I never got in to ABBA, even though I have a couple of their albums. Bet I haven't listened to ABBA in at least 30 years and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Just never cared for their music/sound. But then U2 is a desert Island group for me and I don't believe you are a U2 fan. Our musical tastes are like overlaping circles with lots of common ground and then a few that don't overlap.

I have nary a U2 album or a Smiths album. Some stuff I just don't get. ABBA was a guilty pleasure back in the day, somewhat bolstered when I read how much Elvis Costello like their fourth, Arrival. I am such a fan that all of the songs actually sound different to me! My wife can't believe I like the Sweet...she shakes her head whenever she even thinks about me listening to Little Willie. I'm a poptagonist. (I made it up, trying out for the first time: "pop" for me and "agony" for those around me!

)

Edit: my word correction for poptagonist didn't highlight the word. There actually IS such a word! Oh well, all my good ideas get stolen.

Sweet - Desolation Boulevard Not Just You Paul

Oh, I see a man in the back as a matter of fact
His eyes were as red as the sun
And the girl in the corner that no one ignores
Cause she thinks she's the passionate one

I always found that song a guilty pleasure.

Ha! And what about Little Willy

My fav. Sweet song is (the rare self penned hit) Fox On The Run

Saw them a couple of times in their twilight - Fun Stuff

Yup, now that you mention it, both also guilty pleasures.

Edit - just went online and bought the 3 of them, and took Love is Like Oxygen as well.

This $1 copy still getting the job done.

Running it on a Scout with the Shelter 501 Mk II.

Just got a VPI Scout to replace my 25 year old Denon 52, it came with a Grado Gold, but I have a lightly used Shelter 501 MkII in the wings, and an hour ago the nice man in the brown truck dropped off a DV 20X2-L.

Great bass presentation with this setup, rich mids, top end off a smidge, but it's not fully dialed in either.

Oh, and it's my $1 crackhouse copy, I still have to take the 45rpm version out of the shrinkwrap.
