Jack White "Entering Heaven Alive"
2022/Third Man
|
Grand Funk Railroad - Caught in the Act. This is an excellent live album, it rocks and is well recorded.
|
|
I will be listening to Entering Heaven Alive today Spencer.
|
@sbank
This week I went Mingus Madness, played 'em all
Bravo Spencer! 👍🏼
|
Joe Pass - For Django - Tone Poet - beautiful - Tone Poets are some, if not the best value in records
|
|
@slaw Absolutely agree that Joshua Judges Ruth is a 9.5-10 musically, but I'm not convinced the vinyl sounds better than CD on a decent digital rig. When I play Church for visitors, it will be the digital version.
|
Anybody hear the vinyl of the other new Jack White, Entering Heaven Alive? Enjoyed it immensely via Qobuz, wondering about the SQ. Some great acoustic guitar there...great potential

@boxer12 @slaw - Yep, I'm a big fan of Robbie Robertson's self titled album. I don't have any issue with the sonics of my copy, but I'm not as particular as some.
His other solo albums are pretty good too, but not as good as the Daniel Lanois produced first album.
Oh, and I'm pretty much a fan of anything that Daniel Lanois has touched.
|
Beck - Morning Phase - just about as good as it gets
|
Betty LaVette "1972 Muscle Shoals Sessions"
2018/Atco/ROG
One nice sounding album!!!
|
Yeah Tim, the music was inventive for that period in time
|
Widespread Panic / Wood (Box set)
|
@slaw
The Jack White album, on first listen is my top pick so far this year. It's brilliant! Only one thing ...the SQ is 7 to 7.5. The music more than makes up for it. I think Jack needs to get Dan Auerbach to produce his next record
That is too bad Steve. That ‘Acoustic Collection’ I just received SQ is really pretty darn good, but yes, a compilation. I really enjoy that one.
|
My copy is also from that timeframe. The sonics are good but not stellar. The music however is wonderful from start to finish. I believe @reubent is the one that prompted me to get this out again.
|
Hey Tim,
I remember buying that lp because of it being reviewed highly in Stereophile, most likely, years ago. I don't remember the sonics on my copy being memorable last time I heard it, but that was years ago.
|
|
Thanks, @boxer12 @slaw .
Long week, I am going to try to stay long enough for a few records.
|
My feeling as well.........
|
Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs "External Combustion"

I would guess about 7 years ago (or so). I was passing through the area on a business trip & stopped by several smaller record shops. Had a great time.
|
|
Elvis Costello / Secret, Profane, & Sugarcane
Bought this right after it was released from a record store in Ashville NC. They had a little display set up to promote it. Glad I bought it. Great album (alt-country IMO)
|
Jack White "Fear of the Dawn"
2022/Third Man Records
Can already tell the Sonics on this lp aren't the best. What a shame, great music though
|
@slaw
Ha! Never really thought about that Steve, but you are kinda correct, the ‘big badge’ title block is rather large, but they have been doing it for years.
|
Hey Brian,
Never understood why Deutsche Grammophon chose to put their advertisement over so much real estate on their lp jackets???
|
My second listen to this….
Daniil Trifonov - Bach: The Art Of Life. Deutsche Grammophon 2021 3LP gatefold.

@sbank ,
I’m hearing what you were talking about, wishing for more piano attack!! Again on the hand-clapping on "Church" .
I’m overall, still happy if I can get one quiet copy out of two. The first track on side two.... the piano intro sounds nice and appropriate though.
I believe I’d give it more than 8.5 on sonics just because the music is so great!! You’re more likely hearing through unbiased ears than I. Then again, this may be how it was intended?
I am rethinking my cleaning regimen.

Lyle Lovett "Joshua Judges Ruth"
my replacement copy, already see a teeny scratch....
