1968/2009 Epic/Sundazed Mono Remaster

keith richard, "crosseyed heart"--he doesn’t overexert himself on the songwriting (the album sounds like it took him about an hour to write and record), but he’s become one of the great non-singers, with a real patina to his voice

the feelies, "the good earth"--i’ve never met anyone who hasn’t been blown away by this on first listen.

pete townsend, "who came first"--always thought he sounded best where (as here) he wasn’t trying so hard to make a Grand Statement. i wish he had used this version of "pure and easy" on "who’s next" instead of "going mobile," which i never much cared for.


The Association / Greatest Hits
1968 Warner Bros.

”Never My Love”, super dreamy 😎
@bdp24 if interested, this stereo record employs Haeco-CSG


The Clientele / Bonfires on the Heath
2009 Merge

Really into this one lately. Great SQ, quiet…dreamy…

Santa, all I want for Christmas is all my favorite records to be released in UHQR

Franck-Symphony In D Minor(Columbia M 31803) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

The J. Geils Band-Bloodshot(red vinyl) Side 1

Richie Cole-Keeper Of The Flame Side B

Bruce Hornsby & The Range-A Night On The Town Side 1

The Staples-Unlock Your Mind Side 2

Kansas-ST(barcode) Side 2

Richie Kamuca-Drop Me Off In Harlem(CJ-39) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Maria Muldaur-Southern Winds Side 1

Tonight everything sounded above average, tough to pick a bottom feeder. Another Concord Jazz SQ winner. Richie Cole/Kamuca both overlooked with mainstream jazz followers. Southern Winds might be Ms. Muldaur's best/content recording. Bloodshot a colored vinyl pressing with very good SQ from 1973 exacerbates my disappointment with the current SQ issues of new vinyl.
