did you pick up The Band "Music from big Pink" 50th set?
|
Folkfreak, that's some great news. I think Jennifer Warnes is extraodinary
and I thought she was done. I look forward to her new long time coming cd and I hope that she'll keep them coming. |
Right On! folkfreak
Happy Listening!

And on August 31st, Capitol’s deluxe reissue of The Band’s 1968 Music From Big Pink debut album drops. It is a box set with new mixes and mastering by Bob Clearmountain from 24/96 digital masters, in all the formats (except tape ;-)---black vinyl, pink vinyl, CD, and digital streaming. The deluxe box includes two LP’s, a 7" 45, a CD/Blu-ray with surround sound mixes (why?), and a book. Five outtakes and alternate takes and an a cappella version of "I Shall Be Released" (featuring pianist Richard Manuel’s astounding lead vocals) will make their debut. This is one of the very few albums important enough to me that I will be getting every version offered, though I already have a 1st pressing US LP (mastered by Bob Ludwig), an original UK LP, the first Mobile Fidelity LP, the current Mobile Fidelity LP, and a few CD’s. I have no doubt so will Eric Clapton ;-). I hope Capitol also gives The Band’s follow-up (s/t, the "brown" album) the same treatment. |
Right On! bdp24
it has been another stellar year for Jazz releases as well.

Much Thanks! pattemf132
which version did you purchase? The initial reports on sound quality are pretty good. The original 80's CD was very well produced and recorded for that timeframe. Play it LOUD! |
Appetite for Destruction re-issue available today , hi-res and surround |
|
Just got the SpiritualJazz8, epic. |
|
Pharis and Jason Romero - "Sweet Old Religion". The first album since losing all their stuff in a fire. An excellent sounding CD. Jason is a banjo maker and together they make great folky music. |
Right On! slaw
and to think that we still have another 6 months to go in 2018! Happy Listening! |

That new Neko Case record Hell On. She just keeps putting out great music. Her and her band sounded epic when I caught her with Ray L.
Looking forward to Tranes new one

Nice selection- nglazerHappy Listening!

The new Kacey Musgraves is excellent. I am not a country music fan but this has almost no "twang": just solid, pop-folk songs. And she can sing.
