[sdiy] Essential listening?

[TIm Daugard]

Actually, There was at least to albums. I think the first was Space and the
second was Magic Fly? I would have to dig through the record pile as I
transferred these to CD over a year ago for my wife.

We got introduced to them by a German friend during stereo wars while stationed
in Germany. She would put this on and we would give up, shut down the stereo and
go next door in base housing. Space became my wife's favorite album to
demonstrate the stereo.

The other stereo demonstration albums of the time was Fresh Aire and Maynard
Ferguson.

I think the albums were 78 and 79. I might be off by a year.

As I remember, the album notes were extremely sparse and Rolling Stone ignored
them.
