Identify the Mystery Object.

Love the bookshelf/display case. Real nice looking. What’s the story with the album? Is there a reason it was brought out to pose for the picture?

Thanks, got that from my grandparents who may have likewise inherited it. As for the LP, ha, I'm a huge Françoise Hardy fan; brought that home from a used record store, set it on the stool and that's just where it's been ever since. I've since installed a phono preamp in my av room so maybe I should take it downstairs, but it's more convenient to pull up digital versions when I need my Françoise fix.

I like the her sound so far...I may need to pick something of hers up. Is there a “definitive” album of hers you’d recommend?

Her work spans 56 years and has many many many hilights -- I'll DM you some of my faves.
