I never liked that disc or him, but it is a very good recording. I recall that when it was new, Stereophile writers used it often in listening tests for gear.
2011 Graceland remaster, with bonus tracks.........
So, an amp buyer comes to my home for the " evaluation ", and we play his cd copy of Graceland ( this newer remastered version ). Well, the bonus track of Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes, simply blew us both away. He, by my system, and me, by the recording, through my system. I had only the original. This " track ", is truly a high level of awesomeness. I have enjoyed the entire album for years ( also had the vinyl, when I owned vinyl and my playback gear ).
