(What a GREAT album!)
Steve Winwood-Arc Of A Diver Side 1 Al Cohn-Standards Of Excellence(CJ 241) Side 2 SQ Audiophile Luciano Pavarotti-Mamma Side 2 SQ* Delia Bell-ST Side 2 SQ* Megadeth-The Sick The Dying...And The Dead Side 3 Nancy Wilson-Nancy(ST 148) Side 1 Bruce Hornsby And The Range-A Night On The Town Side A George Adams-Nightingale Side 2 SQ Audiophile CJ 241 takes the SQ Crown with a very strong(content) effort. Ms. Wilson has over 50 studio albums not all are keepers, this one is! Megadeth The Sick...is a decent later(2018) release but far from the band’s last masterpiece(Endgame 2009). SQ was an improvement tonight over Friday will let IC’s settle in until month’s end. |
Absolutely @mofimadness! Bring The Family is an all-time Top 10 album for me. I have in on a USA original, the UK pressing on Demon Records (with a bizarre alternate cover), and the MoFi. The MoFi One-Step of Tapestry is the only version of that classic album that doesn't sound horrible. It was produced by Lou Adler, who obviously has no idea of how to record this type of music. He ran the meters deep into the red when recording Carole's vocals. Her piano also sounds pretty lousy.

@reubent Stone Roses guitarist John Squire has a new album out with Liam Gallagher (Oasis) called Liam Gallagher & John Squire…it’s definitely worth a listen. |
@slaw...if it's alright, I'm going to play off of your lead (again)? I have everything that Reference Recordings has done on vinyl, (I was a dealer), but haven't played any in quite awhile. I'm going to resolve that:
Blazing Redheads-"Blazing Redheads" (Direct To Two-Track, Pure Analogue Recording, Half-speed mastered.) |
Ok with me @mofimadness . I have that Blazing Redheads as well. I've never had a bad experience with Reference Recordings lps. |
The next set taken for a spin; 1. Stravinsky Conducts 'Firebird Suite' w/Columbia Symphony Orchestra Columbia MS 7011 1967 2. Mahler 'Symphony 9' Solti w/London Symphony Orchestra London CS 6560/61 1967 3. Beethoven 'Symphony 5' Karajan w/Berliner Philharmoniker Deutsche Grammphon 138 804 1963 Classy night, no disappointment in the audio, just as I remembered, only better. |
Dee Bell-One By One(CJ 271) Side 1 SQ Audiophile The Doobie Brothers-The Captain And Me Side 2 Bobby Short-Celebrates Rodgers & Hart Side 3 SQ* Queen-The Game Side 1 SQ* Gene Watson-Between This Time & The Next Time Side 2 Art Blakey-New York Scene(CJ 256) Side 2 SQ Audiophile Michael McDonald-If That's What It Takes Side 1 SQ* Lynyrd Skynyrd-One More From The Road Side 4 My wife was not pleased hearing "Freebird" after 11pm! The SQ crown is between Concord Jazz recordings, where Blakey takes the crown. Need/want a better SQ version of The Captain & Me, maybe Nautilus?
