Friday Night in San Francisco


I want to buy this DiMeola, McLaughlin, DeLucia classic album. My options ... "45 rpm audiophile 180 gm." vinyl @ $54.99 vs. CD @ $6.99. Is the vinyl that much better to justify the tremendous price differential ?

Well, I just added it to an Amazon order.... $6.99 for the CD. I bought it along with Nils Lofgren "Acoustic Live" and John Abercrombie "Within A Song." These should be three great albums to listen to on the upcoming cool Autumn evenings in upstate NY.
My Amazon order cam a few days ago, and I enjoyed my first listening session of "Friday Night in SF" last night. Wow..... what a wonderful recording ! This $6.99 CD is the Columbia/Legacy version, "20 bit digitally remastered, produced for reissue by Bob Belden." Great music through my system, and much to my surprise, it is an HDCD recording ! The imaging and soundstage is perfect, and I can "see" exactly where Al, John, and Paco are sitting onstage. The guitar playing is absolutely incredible, and it is truly an "I am there" recording.
