Good Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Sessions"?


I just listened to a new CJ Trin Sessions (RCA 8568-1-R). What a HUGE dissappointment compared to the Gold CD. I could tell this thing sucked from the first 5 seconds where I could barely hear the the ventilaton system running in the background in the church.

Is there an LP pressing of this album worth getting, i.e. better than the CD?

To be clear, I have no complaints with the sound (or "noise")of the Classic Gold CD. I just found the standard issue RCA LP (VINYL) to not even be close in sound quality. SDCampbell and John_I, on what label are your LPs?

AlexC, now you're talkin'. I didn't know Classic put out an LP of this recording. That's what I want!

I think that it is all in the mixing and that Classic did it right on the Gold CD that I have and it would probably sound even better on the Classic LP. I think my disappointment with the LP (and others on the Aluminum CD) stems from the RCA mix/pressing.

Please give me a heads up if you put a classic CJ-TS up for auction.
Whoa, Craig, I hardly know ya. I know we A-philes are a tight group, but LOVE??? Between this and the "How much does your system cost?" thread my wife would leave me if she ever signed on here.

I'm going to keep my Classic Gold CD unless someone wants to trade a MINT Classic LP.
I'm tempted by the Simply Vinyl release, but Acoustic Sounds gave them a less than glowing endorsement. Basically, they say; We carry Simply Vinyl because its the only place we can get these recordings and our customers want them.
Kelly, this music definitely spans the generations, I'm the same age as your older son! No wonder your audio advice seems so fatherly;-) I guess I'll keep my classic CD for now. Let me know if you find another hidden gem that sounds better. Do you find a huge difference between the Gold CD and the RCA LP? I just want to make sure my turntable isn't the problem.
