But TUBES!
Who cares how heavy it is? It's got tubes and if you want a really fine screen tone you totally must have tubes!
Apparently, as you found out, iTunes Match wasn't that successful and has been discontinued...maybe it was a good idea at the time?

Does your Smart TV have an ‘Audio Out’?!!

I can't find that iTunes Match was discontinued, maybe it was a rumor. I have a yearly subscription and use it so for me at least, it’s working.
In iTunes, go to Store, then click on iTunes Match on the right side.

It uploads your iTunes library to a cloud and replaces any older versions of the songs with the latest reversion. It also replaces protected versions with unprotected ones. At one time Apple DRM protected songs that you bought from iTunes. That changed at some point.
The one requirement is apple must have the song in their catalog. My issue is that some of my albums were no longer available. I found a way to do the individual songs in most cases.

Pretty good and more up to date-at the time. I heard another one about a concert promoter and 3 acts: Who, Guess Who, and Yes. You can fill in the details.

This was a huge song for Sam and Dave, quickly selling over a million copies. Booker T. and the MG’s layed down their signature STAX sound.
It’s interesting to note that STAX co-founder, producer, engineer and writer, Jim Stewart used to strive for a single take in the studio. STAX is a combination of STeward and Estelle AXton, his sister’s name.
Steve Cropper added a distorted guitar, and Isaac Hayes played the clavinet on the track. Background vocals were provided by another Stax group, Ollie & the Nightingales. Stevie Wonder used a clavinet on Superstition.
STAX released the song on January 8, 1968, the same day as Redding’s Dock of the Bay.
I have the Best of Stax CD collection, highly recommend it.

Thanks, @beans-on-toast, that CD collection is on my buy list!

. An interesting part of my history. I was deployed in Germany in 1975 and was special dutied to a USO tour for a six month duration. I was more or less winding down my tour and was told our band would travel with various acts from the states. Mind you most of the acts had already peaked in the business but were still quite marketable.When my orders went through a Mercedes bus with two MP's came to my unit and helped me pack up my duffel bag and toiletries. I boarded the bus with my Fender Mustang bass and we went to an Air Force bass for two weeks and practiced every day. We were called "Black Sunrise" because everyone in the band except myself was African American.
When we ended up touring, we opened for the Temptations, the Manhattans, Sam and Dave, and Chubby Checker. Once those month long tours completed we ended up playing a couple months in USO shows with no headliner, and did some officer's clubs shows. Back then the clubs were huge. Sam and Dave were very hip and humble. They were funny and knew that they were there to make people happy. I remember getting misty eyed when we opened for the Manhattans when they sang a beautiful hit called "There's No Me Without You." What magical times.
The funniest thing is I left UW to join the Army -- my mom said, 'do like your dad' join the Army and develop some discipline. I called after getting special dutied and my mom was dumbstruck. I ended up doing exactly what she was sending me away from!
I miss those days and the camaraderie.

Great recap, Will. You were so fortunate to be on the same stage as those greats
!
So, you were the Sunrise?
