Hey Elliott,

I understand what you’re saying, and you may be right. If you have or can find a copy of "Never Enough" I think you’ll get what I’m saying. Playing them one after another...the differences are stark.

I remember reading in Jim Smith's book that "Breakdown" was one of the cds he traveled with to set up systems. She has some great sounding records.

BTW, what is a cd player?

+1 @noromance !

I believe the bonus lp of Warren Z "SITF" sounds better than lp 1. The midrange is wonderful as are his vocals.

With this lp, the performance is king!

Hey Tom, yes she does!

Wanda Jackson "Unfinished Business" 2012/Sugar Hill Records/ produced by Justin Townes Earl

Where's @6t5_gto?

Tim,

I’d describe it as mellow with a deep and confident understanding of her maturity as an artist. I love it on the first listen.

By the album jacket... there’s a glimpse of a child. Maybe she has experienced motherhood now and this is reflective in her music?

More introspective.

Buffy Sainte Marie "I'm Gonna be a Country Girl Again"

Warren Zevon "Stand in the Fire"  2021/RunOutGroove/dbl lp

I take the "worbble" along with everything else that makes her unique.

@boxer12,

You were right, this Ian Hunter lp is very nice.

Wow! PJ Harvey is fast becoming my new favorite artist.

Playing side 2 of my Warren Z "SITF" WLP to compare.
.................................................................................................

OK.....This title isn’t an audiophile recording no matter what pressing you may have. The ROG pressing is overly warm. While it has a richer midrange and lower bass, it lacks transient snap. His vocals are more enjoyable on the ROG. The WLP....while a little too hot, had me tapping my feet. I wish we could get a pressing that is a happy medium between these two pressings.

Up now, the bonus lp from ROG.

Thom Yorke "Anima"  2019/XL Recordings

The Dead Weather "Dodge & Burn"

Could've fooled me Tom?

Been listening to some Allison Moorer that I probably would have not heard otherwise. Excellent!!

Jim, Let us know how the S Shook is. I bought it without first listening as I'm a fanboy.

Jim James "Eternally Even"

Welcome @chicagoblue1977

Cat Power "Wanderer"

Any of you, fans!

I've wondered why she hasn't been mentioned in a very long time.
Perhaps it was because her last lp "Sun" wasn't that great! It wasn't that great SQ either.

This lp is a rebirth. Check it out 

Thanks Tim!

@noromance , 

Red Wing is a cool tune! 

 

Thanks @mammothguy54 .

The Vol 2 set above is great!!

@waltersalas 

Hey Chris, 

I auditioned some of The Delines over the last few weeks and was impressed!

RealGoneMudic

Fleetwood Mac "Then Play On"

All of the Sony/Legacy lps I own have been great!

Terry Reid "River"

Ordering Lucifer as well. Thanks for mentioning Jim!

Wow!...I get the feeling that Spoon has matured into the band that they can be proud of.

Listening to these two albums has really energized me.

Terry Reid could've been Robert Plant

Tim, how is your wife doing?

Jim,

Surprisingly very good. Of all the records I bought recently, I had more concerns for the SQ of this one. Very enjoyable!

I think it's limited to 1000 copies.

After Jim mentioned Spoon yesterday I decided to check out "Hot Thoughts", as I had previously not followed them anymore after "They Want My Soul". I was disappointed in that lp. Hot Thoughts is very enjoyable streaming on the Grados. Ordering that lp. Gonna check out Lucifer.

Welcome @ticat

Van Morrison "It's Too Late To Stop Now"  Live/1973/Sony Legacy

Thanks

Jazz is sounding especially good on the Grados. 

👍

Here's my jazz recommendation for this evening. Sorry, no vinyl. 

Ethan Anderson "Every Note is True"

Terry Reid  

Low

Terry Reid "River" side2

Picked this up at the last record show I attended, a year ago. SQ is fantastic!!!
