notorious byrd brothers--their best by a margin, despite the near-absence of gene clark (who according to mcguinn did write the miscredited "get to you") and losing crosby halfway through (he supposedly felt slighted at the inclusion of the carole king songs). i always had an issue with the production, which sounds over-compressed to me, but the songs are unfailingly great + you can hear a lot of clarence white in the background.

Just happen to be spinning Steve Miller Band's Greatest Hits. :-)

Enjoying Allman Brothers first album on 180 gram vinyl but cd (digital) vs. analog (vinyl) is still not settled for me...

Still digging - Sgt Pepper 50th edition.

Here's to another 50 years of Beatles music!

Enjoy the Fab Four Guys! Guarantee their music will be here for another 50 years!
Listening to Graham Parker, Squeezing Out Sparks. Gotta good groove. 
"Nobody Hurts You", for example.

jafant -
Thanks for the feedback.
Hmmm...I'm certainly a bit curious about this latest SPLHCB release.  Dunno  though.  I go through periods of heavy listening to the Beatles but it might be years in between...certainly months.  Growing up with them as they were breaking, I guess I don't often feel much of a need to listen now.  I do find your remark about a preference for the '87 CDs interesting.  Need to do some research on the release history.  

ghosthouse-

SQ is very good on the 2017 edition. More clarity, vocals more forward in the new mix.  I will always have a preference for the 1987 CDs.
The 2009 stereo edition is very fine as well. 

There are not any poor Beatles recordings, IMO.

Happy Listening!

the cranberries - "everyone else is doing it, why can't we?"  Been listening to this CD periodically since 1993 and still love it.

@jafant 

Hey there 'j'...
So how good is the SQ on it?  

BTW - it's okay to reply to queries and engage in DIALOG!  :-)

Sgt Pepper (2017).

Dr. John/Mercernary/. If you haven't heard this, shame on you. Mostly a collection of Johnny Mercer tunes on the Blue note label.

@astewart8944 - Glad you enjoyed the show and good to know we're in for a good experience. I've been keeping an eye on the setlists from the tour. Seems like it's going to be great one. Our seats aren't great either, but I know U2 has perfected the stadiums show, so I'm not worried about it. One Republic is opening the Louisville show. I'm not a big fan, but my 13 year old son likes them, so I'm happy with the choice of opening act. I'm actually kinda looking forward to seeing a more modern, younger, pop band, just to see how they do it.....

@reubent I saw U2's Joshua Tree tour last night in Dallas. My daughter waited online to buy tickets right when they became available for purchase. We needed six together. We ended up way up high---didn't matter, U2 blew the roof off the place (Jerry World--Cowboy Stadium). Lumineers opened for them. All around great show. I'm playing U2's War right now (Island 1983 RBCD). I remember listening to this LP when it first came out and feeling the band's emotional power. They still have it.

Wake up, wake up, wake up - we’re almost home.

The Steve Miller Band - Bingo!

Okay, you are on. Will check out her music. Know nothing about her.

Hmm...wikipedia entry is interesting.  Another New Englander and contemporary (broadly speaking) of Ives and Ruggles but writing in a very different style.  

Have found several pieces (Gaelic Symphony and others) on Tidal.

I'll see you an Amy Beach who was better than either of them and knew neither ! -----:)

@schubert

S - I’ll see your Ives and raise you a Ruggles, "The Sun Treader". ;-)

(They were friends, you know.)

Charles Ives , "Concord Mass.1840-60"

@jafant 

I'm sure you know those Beck recordings too.  Everything about them is well done...songs, arrangements, musicianship and recording quality.  I'm no Beck expert though, anything else of his worth listening to that's along the same "singer/songwirter" lines as these two?

@reubent 
Agree with you about Dada...a great recording. I remember when it came out. Track getting airplay on WXPN was "Dorina". Not only are the songs good on that whole album but the sound quality is superior. A Bob Clearmountain mastering job, if I recall correctly. Sad that their subsequent albums did not achieve the same level of excellence. (well...in my opinion, anyway). Highway Flower is decent but not as good as Dada.
