@sbank You could be right! Although, I know @slaw expressed an interest three years ago. Not sure if he bought into them.

|
Been away for a bit, hope everyone is doing well.
One of my top 50 all time tonight:
|
Cake - Fashion Nugget. This is the European version that someone (Spencer?) recommended. It sounds so much better than the first one I got.
|
|
Mehta conducts:
- Scriabine - Poem Of Ecstasy, Op. 54
- Schoenberg - Transfigured Night, Op. 4 (1943 Revised Version)
Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. London, 1967
|
@noromance sometimes I think we're First Aid Kits only fans.
+1 on early Joe Jackson. All those albums stand up well over time through Body & Soul. He was great live then too. Saw him on the pier in NYC. Acapella Is She Really Going Out With Him encore...it doesn't get much better than that.
|
|
Getz - Clef/Norgran Studio Sessions - great music - with Rob Brookmeyer - IMHO a VERY underrated player and arranger
|
Mehta conducts Bruckner - Symphony No. 9 In D-Minor. Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. London, 1965
|
@dayglow
Joe Jackson from 1979-89 was nearly flawless with content and recording SQ.
I think so too, have several of his LPs but sorta lost interest after Blaze Of Glory (1989)
|
The Best Of The Grateful Dead - What A Long Strange Trip It's Been.
|
@bslon +1
Joe Jackson from 1979-89 was nearly flawless with content and recording SQ.

I had a similar experience with Folk Singer 45rpm that I bought from Acoustic Sound. They handled the situation in the same manner. I gave the "defective disc" to my brother-in-law. His system is a decent mid-fi and the issue on the disc was no problem when played on it. Acoustic Sounds and Elusive Disc are class act retailers. At this point I have reservations about Music Direct. They have always done me right but knowing now that they buried the DSD information with MoFi products (Music Direct owns MoFi and knows first-hand what was going on) has me thinking a little differently about them.
|
BTW, when I got my copy of Café Blue from Elusive Disc, disc 1 had a bit of static which I complained to them about in an email. They quickly sent a replacement disc 1 and didn’t ask me to return the defective. Fantastic customer service!
P.S. Congrats on the new loudspeakers!
|
Yes, thanks @mammothguy54 for letting me know. I get notifications from several online vendors (Acoustic Sounds, Elusive Disc, Music Direct, MFSL, my LRS) on new releases/reissues which make it easy for me to keep up! 😛
Even at that I miss some, so thank you. I do agree on those Impex pressings, they’re about as good as it gets. I too have Nightclub on preorder, it should be interesting—all classic cover songs.
|
I forgot to mention the name of the album. It's "Nightclub".
|
@bslon Impex is one of the very best labels for producing superior quality products in materials and sonics. Available now for pre-order is the new (from Impex) Patricia Barber album 45rpm 2-disc set, made in the 1Step format in the same packaging as Cafe Blue. Expensive, but worth it! I already have one on preorder. I thought that you may want to know.

Mastered by Greg Calbi at Masterdisc directly from the analog master tapes, nice.
|
First Aid Kit – The Lion's Roar (Wichita 2012)
|
I agree that Gary Moore is underrated. He is excellent!
Boz Scaggs, the album Dig, does have some really deep bass. In fact, I am going to be using that in the mix for breaking the drivers on my new speakers.
Good news, FINALLY!!! They are shipping to me from Ferndale, WA. Should arrive somewhere between Friday and Tuesday. I'll check the tracking on Wednesday as they just had the shipping label created today and are scheduled to be picked up at Daedalus Audio on Tuesday.

Wooden Wand – Death Seat (Young God 2010)
|
@dmk_calgary
😉👍🏼 Nice, that’s the way to do it. I have a few opera box sets I need a weekend like that to dedicate the spinning of the complete opera to.
Lousy rainy weekend, so I listened to all 8 sides of Handel's Messiah. - in one sitting lol. It's an old pressing I got from a friend - I have 2 other box sets that I have not listened to. This was on Composer's Concept Series. The London Philharmonic Choir with the London Orch. Walter Susskind conductor. Recorded in London at St. Mary Magdalene in Paddington 1959. Included was a booklet that talked about Handel, the conductor, the orchestra, and, believe it or not, the engineers and the microphones they used. Great performance, and I can't believe I actually listened to this. Will give it another listen. LOVED it.
