For me its the first or very early LP's of: Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South" Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer" and, Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
.... this is revelatory.... I probably sold a cool million in big iron with the OP and completely burned out on it.... thirty years later and it is reborn....
+1 @mapman. Yeah. I love the early stuff with Sinclair’s organ but I also like the later stuff with the more contemporary keyboards. It was still pre-80s real analogue sound. But what I really like about the later stuff is that Pye’s guitar work is more upfront. I just really like that guys music.
I mean, I think for a lot of guys who are a little older than I am who we’re into grey & pink when it came out think that the later stuff just isn’t as good. (Maybe like camel fans who don’t love the post Bardens camel). It is a little different but it’s still sweet music.
Hey Jim, you’re very welcome. I think my favorite caravan record is ‘girls who grow plump in the night’. You might like it. Progressive rock with a quick light touch and hilarious lyrics (actually the music itself can kinda put a smile on your face...)
Of course I’m assuming that you’ve heard ‘in the land of grey and pink’. It’s great. Side 2 is a classic.
James.....tough question but i was mighty impressed how well the 44.1 x 24 stood up to LP. It is raining cats and dogs so no hyper critical listening just now...
Does anyone have a bootleg copy of Silver Bell?
btw Qobuzz has 3 x Patty albums in the x24 format, all at least thru my name DAC benefit from the greater bit depth.
Well what a bummer! Had bought a ticket to see Blue October at St.Augustine this Sunday. Just found out they have cancelled ALL concerts in Jacksonville and St.Augustine until further notice.
