The Velvet Underground "Loaded"

Analogue Productions/Atlantic 75 series/45RPM

Cowboy Junkies had a series of 5 lps that were released on Diverse Records as a box and separately as I recall. I bought a few of that series separately. If I recall correctly, the pressing quality slowly became noticeably of lesser quality at that time periodĀ 

Yeah, Nomad. Nice man!

I remember my favorite being the album dedicated to Vic Chesnutt.

Desert Rose Band "S/T"

1987/Curb Records

...the great Chris HillmanĀ 

There was one album in that series that was pretty heavy for them. That may have been Demons? But no matter it was/is some great music.

Suzanne Vega "99.9F°"

1992/EU/1st pressing/A&M

@mofimadness ,

I thought I own all 12" vinyl ( I may be wrong) and think I now have 5 total. I’d start in chronological order.....you won’t be disappointed.

IMO, they have some of the best song writing I’ve heard in a while.

@arizonabobĀ ,

I must have misread your initial post. I agree that a true mono cartridge will sound better on mono recordings than a stereo cartridge summed to mono elsewhere in the signal chain.

@mofimadness ,

Realized while listening to Frank Black, "Show Me Your Tears" was released on Diverse Records.....back when that label was great I own that 🤠

Frank Black and The Catholics/The Complete Studio Albums box
