Great sounding new vinyl


This was suggested by Sonojfim on a previous thread. I wanted to send a petition to the vinyl companies because so many bad sounding new LP's on the market. A more positive way would be for all of us to share a few titles of really good sounding new and reissue LP's with label info if possible...

For good vinyl recommendations, don't forget the long lived thread begun by Slipknot1:

Whats on your turntable tonight?

I'm regularly finding excellent recommendations being posted there.

Here's some great new and available vinyl that I've been listening to over the past two weeks:

"Percussion Direct" from Groove Note (AGRN 1041) is very good.

"Little Johnny C" - Johnny Coles - Music Matters Blue Note reissue

The ongoing Beethoven symphony cycle by Kajski and the Polish Chamber Philharmonic Ordestra on the Tacet label continues to be very good. They now have out symphonies 1 & 2, 7, and 5.

The new ZZ Top reissue of "Tres Hombres" from Rhino via the mastering team of Hoffman and Gray.

No, I haven't heard the Vanska recordings. I'll have to see if someone in our local audio group has any of them. Thanks for the recommendation. I don't think the Rajski performances replace any of my long time favorites, but they are refreshing, clean performances in good sound (and on vinyl!).
