Van Morrison / Wavelength
1978 Warner Bros.
Such an enjoyable recording, great songs and fabulous SQ. The final track “Take It Where You Find It” leaves me wanting more…

+1 on JJ & Mofro Steve, I see they’re doing a presale of Country Ghetto on vinyl. I wish they’d do Orange Blossoms.

Outstanding compilation double LP in song selection but SQ varies widely.

@tgilb @slaw I too preordered Déjà Vu to replace my 1970 original and am hoping for the best. The last couple reissues I’ve received were not so great. I agree with @mammothguy54 on the digital sounding Thick As A Brick compared to my original and MFSL’s 45rpm of Brothers In Arms generally doesn’t surpass my original copy’s SQ and imaging.

Fabulous album, content, sonics, everything. A reference disc here and a ‘go to’ when visitors ask me to “play something”. It can’t always be Aja! 😎

Kinda freaky pics of people posed with a mini-monolith adorn the jacket and gatefold. Not my favorite LZ album. Better SQ on Houses.

1972 Blue Thumb
Excellent SQ, great album. The female vocals, so nice!
|
Hey Tom, I also have Deodato 2 (1973 CTI) which too has some good covers. I agree that the CTI records usually sound pretty good. But I usually go with that MCA label because of “Peter Gunn”. 😎
|
Thanks for the compliment @dayglow. I don’t often rate the SQ unless it’s way better or worse than my average. It’s so subjective, like the previous comments on Rough Mix. Excepting Deodato, what I played last night I’d consider reference SQ, about as good as it gets. Especially Breezin’. Deodato Average +, or 7.5? On my system…
