Jethro Tull / Thick As A Brick
2022 Parlophone 50th Anniversary RE
Half-speed master of Steven Wilson’s Stereo Remix. Arrived today, so far I’m pleased with the sound. His Aqualung remix was also well done, imo.

Elton John / Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
2014 Mercury 40th Anniversary RE

I wonder why this thread has been removed from the Daily Recap that goes out each day. Today is the second consecutive day without it. Anybody have an idea why?

EWF-All 'N All Side 2
Alicia De Larrocha(London CS 6733) Side 2
David Clayton Thomas-ST Side B
Julio Iglesias-1100 Bel Air Place Side 2
Ten Years After-R n’ R Music To The World Side 1
The Hanna-Fontanna Band-Live At Concord(CJ-11) Side 1 SQ Audiophile
Neil Young-Silver & Gold Side 1
Three Dog Night-Hard Labor Side B
With only 1 Audiophile SQ level recording tells us were all prisoners to the recording and the power supplied to us. Maybe a Stromtank is something more of us should consider? With exception of Ten Years After(lack of treble) every recording was solid. Silver & Gold could be his last great recording(2000). Alicia De Larrocha stunning performance!

Strawbs - "Busting at the Seams"

This one’s up next.

Anne Bisson - Blue Mind

@slaw
Good to hear Steve. Glad you got it all sorted out and enjoying 👍🏼
|
Well guys, I'm confident in saying the Audia Flight phono stage is superior in every way to my Trio. Used high end products are an excellent value
|
Dawes "Misadventures of Doomscroller"
2022/Rounder
Man, these guys just fell off my radar. I bought their first lp when it came out and now, 10 years? later, they’ve really developed as a band now based on a recent show on the Circle network of Dawes performing. I’m thinking I’ve been missing out on some great music.
|
I still need to dig into my Big Joni box Joel. She’s got an upcoming Atlantic years box. I’m really getting behind!
|
The Babys - Broken Heart I forgot how good this album is. SQ is fair, music is great!
The Beach Boys - Surfer Girl AP/QRP Inspired by bslon to bring this out to play. Great album, outstanding job by Analog Productions.
Cowboy Junkies - The Trinity Session AP/QRP This is an awesome sonic experience. A few songs are OK, the rest is wonderful. Sonics are fabulous!
Michael Hedges - Aerial Boundaries Got this a few weeks ago, have had to play it several times. Fabulous!!!
Joni Mitchell - Don Juan's Reckless Daughter Japanese issue, excellent piece of vinyl. Really a great album, musically.
|
So far, the Tweedy lp is highly enjoyable. The lps are clear vinyl splattered with blue and so far very quiet and flat. The jacket is a high quality gatefold with attached booklet. Great deal if your a fan.
|
Jeff Tweedy "Warm & Warmer"
dBpm/repress
I ordered this at least one year ago. I had lost all hope 😕
|
Amanda Shires "Take it Like a Man"

I think this is her best solo album yet. I love it!

Roxy Music - Stranded Just got this, one of the new reissues of the Roxy Music set of albums, done at Abbey Road Studios. They go out on a limb and state "Remastered and CUT Half-Speed from the original 1/4" tapes" It's the word "cut" that is the difference from "sourced" regarding the actual chain in making the record. If so, bravo! What I can say is that it sounds really good. And it's a very fair price, too.
DiMeola McLaughlin DeLucia - Saturday Night In San Francisco. Impex really knows how to produce a high-quality record. Mastering/plating/stamping and grade of vinyl are all top-flight. The music on this album is superb and should be in everyone' collection, if you like acoustic guitar ensembles. The sonics are absolutely jaw-dropping. For this album, turn it up, and bring the stage into your home.
