ELO - A New World Record
1976 UA/Jet Records
Jeff Lynne sure could write a catchy tune. I guess it didn't hurt being a desciple of the Beatles.
|
J. Geils Band - The Morning After.
Old pressing from around 1971 on Atlantic.
Hadn't played it in years and gave it a spin after a good cleaning.
Great SQ and a fantastic album. Better than I remember. Definitely deserves a second spin.

David Bowie - Space Oddity
RCA reissue 1972 |
Patty Griffin - American Kid
New West Records 2013

@spiritofradio.. Yes, Valerie June is definitely special. I haven't seen her live but discovered her for the first time on Austin City Limits back in 2014. One of my favorite shows.
|
Valerie June - The Moon and Stars |
Beatles - Let It Be ...Naked
Apple 2003

+1 for Fleetwood Mac - Penguin
Beatles Rubber Soul
1965 Capitol Mono pressing. |
I broke down and ordered the stereo version of Simon & Garfunkel's Parsley Sage Rosemary and Thyme on Columbia Legacy after waiting over a year for a reissue of the mono version. The SQ is ok but I find the mono production to be far superior.
Another thing I noticed when comparing the new copy to my original mono pressing from 1966 is that the dead wax on the new reissue is twice as wide as my original copy which can only mean the grooves were compressed and narrower. Due to the digital process?
I have to say that 7 O'Clock News/Silent Night is still as chilling to listen to as the first time I heard it!

Wishbone Ash - Argus
MCA 1972
|
@tomic601.. I hadn't heard of Perfect Vinyl Forever. Interesting! |
Spooky Tooth - Spooky Two
A&M Records 1969
Looks like there has been a run on spinning ELO - Eldorado in the past week. Great Album!
|
@slaw, I've come across a few nice Mono reissues also but it has been limited. I've got a few selected by the Byrds and Beach Boys but they have been on backorder for many months now and who knows if they will ever become reality.

John Denver - Poems, Prayers, and Promises
RCA 1971
Simon and Garfunkel - Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme
Columbia 1966 Original 2-Eye Mono pressing
Beautiful Mono sound but unfortunately a bit too much background noise from hundreds of play way back when.
I sure wish they would reissue/remaster albums in Mono that were originally released in Mono. |
Nils Lofgren - Cry Tough
A&M 1976
|
The Kinks - Everybody's In Show Biz
RCA 1972
|
@slaw..thanks for the tip on that. I’ve been waiting for a new release of that album for a long time now.I’ll get my name on the list if they are taking pre-orders. Excellent news that it is MoFi. |
ELO - Eldorado
United Artists 1974
Still sounds good in spite of how much play it got when it was first released. One of my favorites that year.
|
Fleetwood Mac - Penguin
2020 remaster from the 1973-1974 box set. |
@waltersalas.. +1 on JTE The Saint. I also enjoy the way his father covered the title song on his tribute album JT. Must have been very special to see Steve perform it live.
I've played both versions back to back many times. |
@slaw... Three of my favorite Mac albums. The people that only know the Buckingham/Nicks Fleetwood Mac era don't know what they are missing.
|
Enjoying an afternoon of music after a busy but enjoyable week in the sunshine state.
Fleetwood Mac - Mystery To Me
2020 remaster from the 1973-1974 WB/Reprise Records Box Set

Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed
London Records 1969
In memory of Charlie.
|
@mammothguy54..I have a very early Apple pressing of All Things Must Pass also and agree that the SQ is not the best but I still do enjoy stepping into the "Light".
Also agree with @bkeske that the recording was most likely impacted a bit by the over-production of Phil Spector.
I'd be curious to hear how the newly released remasters sound.
|
Sticking with California.
Cold Blood - Sisyphus 1970 on San Francisco Records |
@flennon.. @tomic601.. More from the B's
The Byrds - Mr Tamborine Man
Columbia 1965 Mono pressing

Great production and SQ. |
The Band - Music From Big Pink
Capitol Records 2008 reissue of the original 1968 release. |
Jeff Beck - Truth
Sundazed Mono 2009 reissue of the 1968 original Epic Records release. |
Beatles VI - Orange Capital label. |
George Harrison - All Things Must Pass. My original copy that I bought in the very early 1970's.
In honor of his 50th Anniversary remasters hitting Number 1 on the Billboard charts. |
Gary Clark Jr - Live - 2014 WB pressing. |
Received my Preamplifier back from PSA after a two week round trip turnaround so I am very happy with the service.
First record up is Dire Straits S/T - 45 RPM MoFi remaster and it sounds fantastic.
I have always cherished my original WB pressing that I bought way back when but have to say that MoFi has met the challenge. |
Lucinda - S/T
“I asked for water (He gave me gasoline)”
Love that song!
|
Quiet afternoon out of the summer heat.
Gillian Welch - Revival |
John Hiatt - Crossing Muddy Waters |
@tomic601.. I have the original Treo prior to the CT updates and couldn’t be more pleased at how great they sound in my roughly 14 x 14 listening room.
Vandersteen makes a great speaker at all levels. Two of my friends and neighbors also have Vandersteen’s and they sound great in each of our very different systems. |
Bap Kennedy - Domestic Blues. |
7’s and Vandy Amps! Quite impressive is an understatement.
Was it Muddy Waters that said I Live the life I love and I love the life I live! |
Speaking of Vandersteen I visited my local audio store this weekend and their main room features the Vandersteen Model 7's with a high end VTL Power Amp and Preamp and a Linn LP12 among other things. Way out of reach for my budget but it sure was impressive to hear.
With that said I couldn't be happier with my far less expensive system. At least for now but the Vandy's are here to stay. |
@bkeske.. Noticed your system was featured on Agon's Virtual System of the Week. Super nice! I am a Vandersteen fan also. |
I only have Essence on CD so with my TT down due to the preamp I’m enjoying what I only have on CD. It’s another great Lucinda album. |
+1 on War’s Greatest Hits
I have an old pressing and it does sound great. |
Preamplifier is out for repair in my main system so I have been enjoying CD’s on my office system. Old pair of JPW bookshelf speakers sound pretty good.
Lucinda - Essence
No one can sing Help me get F’d up like Lucinda.
Natalie Merchant - The House Carpenter’s Daughter |
Allman Brothers Band S/T. 2016 Remaster of the 1973 mix that I think was from the Beginnings album.
Steve Earle - Copperhead Road 1988 on Uni Records.
On deck Shawn Colvin & Steve Earle - Colvin & Earle from 2016 on Fantasy Records. |
+1 to Wildflowers. The songs on the third album that didn't make the cut on the original released album are every bit as good as the original songs. Super! |
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here 1975 Columbia pressing.
Fantastic SQ. I've tried two of their reissues and they didn't compare to the original. |
My mistake boxer12. The title was very fitting to the Ohio Players cover. |
@boxer12.. Assuming that's Ohio Players - Fire! without noticing!
Great album from that era and great guitar. |
