Viva la Vinyl!!


Hey fellow vinylphiles! How about some feedback on any new vinyl discoveries, particularly on the fairly regular stream of reissues. Any real gems? Any dogs to avoid? None of us want to drop 25-30 bucks on a 180 gram slab 'o' vinyl only to discover something better heard on CD (OK you CD diehards, no offense - I listen to the silver discs too, just not NEARLY as often) Anyway, let's hear it for the continuing vinyl renaissance!

I just got a copy of the new Jimi Hendrix LP Axis..Bold As Love on Classic reissue label. It is a MONO recording, and the sound is INCREDIBLE. This is a winner! Here are a few other sonic masterpieces that I have: * Kind Of Blue-Miles Davis... Classic Records * Sarah McLachlin-Surfacing... Classic Records * Santana-Abraxas...ARS [German Reissue Label] These are just a few. Many of the older Mobile Fidelity reissues sound great, such as Supertramp-Crime of the Century. These are the ones on Japanese PURE vinyl that were mastered by Stan Ricker. There is a lot of great sounding LPs out there. Enjoy!
Ramsti, I have some of the MCA Heavy Vinyl of Jimi Hendrix, and I ejoy it, But if you really want to here a great Hendrix recording, get the Classic reissue of Axis..Bold As Love....it is amazing! I also have Whos Next on MCA Heavy Vinyl, on German import, on British import, and on Japanese import. If you can find it, get the Japanese import. This is the best version.
Dacostab, the LP you are referring to is the soundtrack to "Casino Royale". It is on Classic reissue and it is a true sonic gem. The song "The Look of Love" is sung by Dusty Springfield, and it will send chills up your spine, it is that good. Herb Alpert and the Tijauna Brass also perform on it. Order it and treet yourself to a GREAT LP.
