@slaw Cat Power - The Greatest is my fav example to play people who think vinyl can't sound better than digital. LP is great, CD a muddy mess.

@bdp24 @reubent +1 Intervention Records. I've had that Girlfriend release on my wishlist for a while, but keep missing out. Joe Jackson - Night & Day is another good sounding release of theirs
Cat Power – Jukebox
The Beatles – Let It Be... Naked

@spiritofradio I only have a OG Chicago II. Didn't know about Steven Wilson version. Most of his work I know is prog. He's a wizard, surely.

@dayglow FWIW, The Japanese pressing of Crisis is really good if you're looking for a better one. Under-rated album IMHO.

Never heard that album before (Jazz Sur Seine), but as an MJQ Fan, I should check that out.
The shocker for me was that Milt Jackson plays piano, not vibes on that album. I didn't even know he plays piano. Geez, what a talent.

Wow! What a great Christmas gift!

Thanks for the Cars education, guys! I also burned out on them from too much airplay back in the day, and will do some hunting and dig in.

Saw The Cars/Derringer/Little River Band on what might have been the Cars first tour as headliner, ~’78-79 at The Spectrum in Philly, or as Billy Joel likes to call it, "The Rectum". It was promoted as a September "Back to School Special" concert for $3.50/ticket. Even inflation adjusted, that’s pretty cheap!

@spiritofradio "Please Don’t Touch" when released it was noted as very innovative for some unusual effects used. I've been playing occasionally since its release. Most recently spun it after watching a Genesis doc on Wind & Wuthering where the narrator said "If Gabriel was the band's brains, Hackett was its soul"!

Roy Hargrove and Mulgrew Miller, In Harmony that you posted about the other day. It’s a treasure isn’t it. Still a few sealed copies around the stores I’ve noticed so other members can benefit.
@spiritofradio 100% I liked it so much bought a copy for a friend's bday gift, as it's not well known amongst those with smaller jazz libraries.
