1970's

I've heard some good 70's recordings latley. I orderd Grand funk railroed closer to home, I almost fell over dead. It sounded like they were in the room with me. Digital has the dynamics but anolog fools the ear and wipes away ear fatigue. So, what else am I missing out on, No Zappa please, just can't get into Zappa. How about Blondie?

For me the decade came in with The Who and went out with Talking Heads, with disco in between a very bad dream.

Jan,

Cool for you! I really hope you enjoy them. I do often, including listening to the live record via my iPod shuffle when I travel. I always get off the plane in a good mood....

Happy listening,

TIC

Lots of great music in those days. Boston, Heart, Foreigner, The Kinks, Robin Trower, Alan Parsons Project, Mountain, Ted Nugent, Nazareth, Van Halen. Man, excellent bands, still are!

With regard to good sonics...

The early Elton John UNi pressings I have are exceptional. I don't know what happened when the name changed to MCA but those later pressings and releases are not as good.

Early 70s Warner Bros tend to be very good. I'm especially fond of Seals & Crofts' "Diamond Girl" because I like the album but also because the sound is so good. America's Lps were very well-recorded also.

And of course, Steely Dan and 10cc.

Oh, and Gerry Rafferty "City to City" originals are very good.

That's not correct.

An original pressing of Captain Fantastic is the consummate Elton John album sonically.
