Buffalo Springfield  "What's That Sound?"   (Box)  "S/T"/mono

………………….

Nice to have some company @oldschool1948.
Amanda Shires "My Piece Of Land" Sonically, this lp is the best sounding and most enjoyable of the three I own.
Mark Kozelek  "Live at Biko"

…………………………………..

@boxer12,

I own "Spoke".  BTW, did you hear Low has a new lp coming out?
Roger Waters "The Pros & Cons of Hitch Hiking"

I haven't played this lp in thirty years, I don't know why. It really is very good. I had also forgotten that Eric Clapton plays on it as well as toured with Roger to support the record.
Patty Griffin "American Kid" Wonderful!
Alison Krauss  "So Long So Wrong"  MFSL
cough..hhh..cough.hugh..

trying to catch my breath. They just don’t make music like that/this anymore!

putting on side two. An event!  Ummm..clearing throat...Ok, I'm ready?
Aldo Nova "Subject"

comon’ people...when have you read about AN here? Other than by me.

Fasten your suspenders and hang on to your britches!...………...

(This lp will help me get over the noticeable silence between lp changes).
@tomic601 ,

Regarding The Thorns, side 1, especially track 1 does sound more Tom Pettyish. Side two is more CSN, IMO.
getting started on...

Porcupine Tree  "Voyage 34"  2016 re-master

I see my Aretha Franklin  "Aretha's Gold"  MFSL/45rpm just arrived!
Rory Gallagher "Against the Grain" (promo)

BTW: "Voyager 34" exceeded my expectations. Real nice!
Carolina Chocolate Drops  "Genuine Negro Jig"

Rhiannon Giddens...I think I can already say...the Great Rhiannon Giddens. She was just in town (her home town) last weekend for the Folk Festival in which she was the curator for artists this year. What a great talent!
Savoy Brown "Getting to the Point" original US pressing/Bell Sound/Parrot


Just broke the seal on the 2016 re-master of Pink Floyd "The Wall".

After just listening to "Voyager 34", it seemed like the right thing to do.
@6t5-gto,

Son Volt ""Straighaways"...I own it. As you may know, I've been procuring all of Son Volt. 

A serious band that really doesn't get the props!
Cueing this latest "The Wall" up, I was ready to post, it is muffled compared to my original pressing. Then, I kept on listening. That was the correct approach. Because now, I hear delicate details that I never heard before. Moreover, the child choir is more expansive and important than ever before, "Another Brick in the Wall". I can now hear a faint, singular person singing along with the children's choir on this track. Very cool.

This lp always needed the full volume afforded by any system to sound it's best. No difference here. The more I turn it up, the better it sounds. Ahhhh, glorious analog! The real sense of space and the original acoustic environment is all here to enjoy. I think what I may be trying to ultimately get to is the warmth that comes along with all of the previously unheard details I just mentioned all equals out to be...this pressing is superior to my two originals, hands down. That's pretty darn good for me.
OK...……I had an issue that caused me to wait...…..
Now, I'll continue with "The Wall", then 'l finish the rest of "Us" later.
…...it seems to me that the goal here was not to in any way enhance, but to provide a clear path forward. Job well done!
on this pressing "Comfortably Numb", the soundstage spread is remarkable. There is nothing I'd change. The warmth, the presence, the way it is presented as a complete anthem...WOW!
Hey, @6t5-gto,

Good to here from you The warmth I hear from DSOTM & The Wall on these latest (2016) re-masters in conjunction with all of the fine detail is pretty remarkable!
"Straightaways" IS one hell of a record! It’s been too long since I last played it. Hopefully, that won’t happen again.
............................................

The Flaming Lips  "Embryonic"
Son Volt ,"Straightaways"

All this talk about Son Volt...doesn't take much for me to want to play Son Volt!
