1971 Ode
So nice!
|
Jimmy Buffett / Changes In Latitudes Changes In Attitudes
1977 ABC
|
those new Roxy Music reissues are pretty special!
Greg, I agree. Not just great sonics, but super quiet (at least my copy is) vinyl and a single disc at 33 1/3. I need to pick up some others while they’re available.
|
Roxy Music / Avalon
2022 Virgin half speed master by Bob Ludwig at Masterdisk, orig. 1982
|
Dire Straits / Love Over Gold
1982 Warner Bros.
Outstanding album in every way. Impressive soundstage.
|
Ace / Five A Side
1974 Anchor
|
Jules And The Polar Bears / Got No Breeding
1978 Columbia
|
|
Joe Jackson / I’m The Man
1979 A&M
No kidding Joe, you’re the Man and you’re ‘in the room’ on this one.
|
@mammothguy54 Blue Stingrays are Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers goofing off—in a good way!
|
Angels Egg…and I thought Heroes had a weird album cover! 😜😂
|
Fleetwood Mac / Heroes Are Hard To Find
1974 Warner Bros.
Not my favorite Mac album, songs and sonics aren’t up to par compared to their other efforts imo. Heroes and Come A Little Bit Closer keep me coming back. Weird album cover, don’t ya think?
|
Heart / Dreamboat Annie
1976 Mushroom Records
Nice album, really nice SQ.
|
Elizabeth Cook / Aftermath
2020 Agent Love
|
Mary Chapin Carpenter / The Dirt And The Stars
2020 Lambent Light
Very enjoyable double album, not a fan of the clear vinyl though.
|
Jim Capaldi / Whale Meat Again
1974 Island
A delightful album by Traffic’s drummer.
|
Traffic / John Barleycorn Must Die
1970 United Artists
Going with another one, more terrific music and SQ. Such a great band!
|
Traffic / Shootout At The Fantasy Factory
1973 Island
Pleasantly stuck in Traffic tonight. <hehe> A favorite band, terrific music and SQ on these LPs. Also played Welcome To The Canteen (Live) 1971 , dreadful sonics.
|
|
Traffic / The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys
1971 Island
|
Traffic / Mr. Fantasy
1968 Island
|
Eagles / Desperado
1973 Asylum
Just another one of many high fidelity, high quality Eagles albums.
|
Loggins And Messina / S-T
1972 CBS
Lots of musicians and instruments, including Rusty Young on steel dobro. Great album, songs, sonics, and imaging. Nice percussion, guitar, bass, sax, flute, etc. on finale “Angry Eyes”.
|
Poco / Legend
1978 ABC
More of a pop sound than debut Pickin’ Up The Pieces with Rusty Young being the only original member. Still, this is their best selling album. Adequate SQ. Cover art by graphic artist and later comedy actor Phil Hartman.
|
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young—Dallas Taylor & Greg Reeves / Déjà vu
1970 Atlantic
Speaking of Classics…Ran it through the cleaner again and minus a couple pops it sounds pretty fantastic.
|
The Byrds / Mr. Tambourine Man
1999 Sundazed RE, orig. 1965
A Classic. Decent SQ, quiet vinyl by Sundazed. Welcome back to the 60’s!
|
|
@mammothguy54 If I remember you were considering the Apollo 11 or Poseidon. Those are 125lbs, I hope you have some help! Way cool either way, enjoy!
|
The Last / L.A. Explosion!
1979 Bomp
|
|
Radio Birdman / Radios Appear
1978 Sire
Aussie punk rock, indie rock, garage rock, proto-punk, surf rock?
|
The Bottles / S-T
1979 MCA
Too bad they only did one album, good stuff—power pop. It’s hard to get past “Look At Julie” without a replay.
|
Kansas / Point Of Know Return
1977 Kirshner/CBS
|
Barclay James Harvest / Gone To Earth
1977 MCA
|
City Boy / S-T

A great record, extra fun on headphones.
|
Yes / Fragile
1972 Atlantic
|
@dayglow
Joe Jackson from 1979-89 was nearly flawless with content and recording SQ.
I think so too, have several of his LPs but sorta lost interest after Blaze Of Glory (1989)
|
Joe Jackson / Look Sharp!
1979 A&M
|
Gary Myrick And The Figures / S-T
1980 Epic
|
Tears For Fears / The Hurting
1983 Mercury
Great album, content and SQ
|
|
BTW, when I got my copy of Café Blue from Elusive Disc, disc 1 had a bit of static which I complained to them about in an email. They quickly sent a replacement disc 1 and didn’t ask me to return the defective. Fantastic customer service!
P.S. Congrats on the new loudspeakers!
|
Yes, thanks @mammothguy54 for letting me know. I get notifications from several online vendors (Acoustic Sounds, Elusive Disc, Music Direct, MFSL, my LRS) on new releases/reissues which make it easy for me to keep up! 😛
Even at that I miss some, so thank you. I do agree on those Impex pressings, they’re about as good as it gets. I too have Nightclub on preorder, it should be interesting—all classic cover songs.
|
Jennifer Warnes / famousblueraincoat
2015 Porchlight/Impex, orig. 1986
Ladies Night here tonight, spinning some great sounding records!
|
Patricia Barber / café blue
2019 Premonition/Impex 1Step 45rpm, orig. 1994

|
Janis Ian / Breaking Silence
1993 Analogue Productions #4741
Beautiful album, a high rez analog reference disc.
|
Patricia Barber / Modern Cool
1998 Premonition Records
Mastered by Greg Calbi at Masterdisc directly from the analog master tapes, nice.
|
+1 Dig. Check the LF on “Thanks To You” Steve, oh yeah!
|
Cat Stevens / Tea For The Tillerman
1970 A&M
Another high quality recording in SQ and all the rest.
|
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young / So Far
2018 Atlantic (German) RE, orig. 1974
Excellent song choices on this compilation, nice sonics, quiet vinyl. Cover art by Joni Mitchell.
|
Van Morrison / Moondance
1970 Warner Bros.
Another fabulous album, the bass and instruments shine wonderfully with the SQ and imaging, vocals too. I wish all my records sounded this good.
