Best Recording of Traffic: Low Spark


I have just about worn out my copy of this great LP (Polygram's 1990 release of the original 1971 recording). I can't seem to find an "audiophile" pressing, and only a very limited supply of the Polygram release.

Is their a better pressing of this album? For God's sake, i hope i don't have to go to digital. The intro of the percusion at the beginning of Low Spark of High Heeled Boys has to be one of the greatest moments in recorded music!

johnjbarlow: thanks for advice. i will be in touch.

armstrod: that's the moment (shaking the "tree") that i am talking about. that is my favorite moment of recorded music -- and i have only listened to it on vinyl. when i get new/upgraded equipment, that's the first thing i play to test the difference. you are lucky indeed to have seen that performed live.
