I checked out much earlier than planned yesterday. Sounds like I missed out on lots of fun.

Federale "The Blood Flowed Like Wine" |
@tomic601 ,
I'll get a "list" together.
Here's the US cleaning thread I've posted the most to:
Thumbs Up For Ultrasonic Cleaning |
The Black Angels "Death Song" |
@slaw - yikes, dark mood huh?! Finally watching Peaky Blinders so, not so much playing/listening. Table not performing at its best last couple sessions. Maybe look around for something new soon but, last night Jason Isbell, The 400 Unit “Live from The Ryman” - (decent production) & His Golden Messenger, “Forward Children” needed a fix for some live performances
|
@bgross,
Love Jason. Actually not in a dark mood, love The Dark Angels, I'm energized listening to them. Maybe that says something about me? |
Federale "All the Colours of the Dark"
I realize the irony..... |
Jason is a great teller of the story :-) |
Streaming The Who - Quadrophenia on Qobuzz- 96x24
sounding great - I believe Big Greg turned me on to existence of this version - thank you !!!!! |
@bgross,
Not familiar with "Forward Children". Own most of M.C.Taylor’s output. Saw him live on tour with Tift Merritt's "friends" tour a couple years back. |
And Then There Were Three .... Genesis.
Eek!
SQ is pretty lousy on this copy, very tilted up in the treble , thin and bass is just boomy, not defined at all.
Don't remember even the CD sounding this bad.
Into the charity pile it will go. |
Beth Orton "Daybreaker" EU/180gr/Mastered @ Abbey Road by Miles Showell

@uberwaltz,
Still haven't listened to my copy that was given to me. Based upon your impressions, I now know why it was given to me. |
Slaw
I think part of the problem is they squeezed so much music onto a single side. Hence no dynamics or life, simply because there was not enough groove room to cut it.
It really needed to be a double album |
@tomic601 I have 2 copies of the original release and they sound pretty good. But to answer your question, I have no idea. There have been over 5000 pressings. My guess would be the earlier the better. |
By the way, Pros and Cons original UK pressing is fan freakin' tastic. I saw it performed in London. Mindblowing. |
Uber,
That sure plays a BIG part on some lps. The most recent example I own is the difference between Neil Young's "Harvest Moon". I bought the original EU/1 lp copy. Now own the re-mastered dbl/lp copy. The difference is striking.
Someone posted here a few weeks ago about the newly re-mastered on 2 lps...Eric Clapton "Unplugged". Would like to hear it as I thought the original was somewhat of a demo disc. |
@tomic601 ,
I own a Track/UK/Quadrophenia and the Universal re-issue from over a decade ago. I think I’ve compared them before, just been too long ago to remember.
Thinking about it now, I seem to remember someone posting a while back, something like, Best pressing of Quadrophenia", I may have compared my copies there, FWIW. |
@noromance .
Pros and cons and Radio K.A.O.S are my favorite Waters albums.
Never liked Amused as to my ears it's more a collection of special effects than a cohesive musical outing.
I know I am in the vast minority in that opinion though.
Another very memorable live experience for myself was Floyd performing the original stage show of The Wall.
Hammersmith Odeon , London, 1978?
Minds a bit hazy on years nowadays.
Lol. |
Tony Joe White - Bad Mouthin’ ( 45 RPM ) |
@slaw
I believe And Then There Were Three is screaming out for a double album 180g remaster! |
@tomic601 ,
I think you asked about, best pressing of PF "The Final Cut"? I own two domestics and the latest re-mastered version. I do need to compare. Just on memory, both sound good. The latest PF re-masters are of superior SQ IMO. Having said that, I do not own any PF UK/Harvest lps. I do own a UK/Harvest Dave Gilmour "S/T"
IMO, "The Final Cut" was always very underrated. |
Incognito ... Spyro Gyra.
Ah, SQ is restored!
Does not matter whether you like these guys or not, I have not heard one bad record SQ wise...and I own plenty. |
The Who: Who's Next
The Who: Live at Leeds
Saw them perform the same live set in Kansas City, July 2, 1970. It was incredible! Live at Leeds album did a great job capturing the sound and environment of that performance. |
|
Mwinkc.
I'm lucky if I can get the year right and you have the month and date down pat?
I need to eat more 🐟 |
|
@bgross,
Thanks buddy....I'm an hour away from Durham. |
|
Just remembered, I own a UK "Radio KAOS"
Just very fortunate. |
Al Stewart & Peter White
Rhymes in Rooms

@bgross
Soundtrack Record of Peaky Blinders Show is really good. Nick Cave, et. al. I may be in a small minority being predisposed to open mindedness about soundtracks. Some of my favorite albums are soundtracks. Maybe it’s the cinema-graphic sentimentality ... |
|
The pressing quality on my reissue 2016 Animals is abysmal- it’s in the cull pile...
( PFRLP10 )
|
Jason Molina "Pyramid Electric Co." |
Regarding Soundtracks... I have a op copy of Fred Neil’s soundtrack of "Midnight Cowboy" on the way....probably Monday? Looking forward!!!! |
For any who paid attention to Dave Alvin's release of "Third Minds", the track "Dophins" was inspired by Fred Neil. |
Uberwaltz, I have pretty good memory for things that happened 40 years ago. It's yesterday or last week that I have trouble with! I happened upon a great resource for KC area concerts back in the day: http://windsofchangekc.com/contact_1Yes, it's just a smaller market, Kansas City, but check out the constant stream of legendary artists. They worked hard in those days. Saw a LOT of great artists back then. The Who concert was particularly vivid for obvious reasons, but in addition, the venue was a automobile warehouse...low ceilings, concrete floor, no seating and no air-conditioning (July). Paramedics were hauling out a constant stream of concert-goers because of heat exhaustion or too many drugs. The air was thick with pot smoke. Daltry flying about in his long-fringed jacket and Townsend windmilling away on his guitar. Heaven on earth for teen-agers like my friends & me. |
|
@spiritofradio Yeah, digging in deep on PB. It’s awfully good and I’m enjoying it a ton. Don’t watch a lot of TV but have time to fill now so,... will check out the soundtrack, TY!
|
|
Good times indeed Mwinkc!
I am obviously a little younger as my heyday of live concerts was 1977 through about 1982 ( marriage, kids, life, the normal bs...lol).
Remember them all but dates and even years are a little fuzzy, not sure if that's an effect of those days or just old age making its presence known! |
@mwinkc,
We sometimes don’t acknowledge new posters’ posts be as being significant...this needs to change. |
Joe Walsh "The Smoker You Drink, The Player I Get" OP ....yes...this was my personal motto for a couple of decades. |
@slaw “ my Maserati does 185 “ was my motto... I was headed up to Mid Ohio for a race in my SDHO Camaro and a black Quattroporte went by me in the rain at Mach 9.... |
And YES welcome all the new posters and your contributions and comments- they are valued |
Wow! My copy sounds fantastic! |
#tomic601
In another life, I use to race moto-cross.
At the time, I could only WISH I lived in California. The mecca! |
Slaw, Tomic
I am fairly sure that most new posters get welcomed or acknowledged by somebody or another and encouraged.
|
I hope I did not infer others weren’t acknowledged.
My last...The Watson Twins "Talkin’ to You..Talkin’ to Me" mastered by the late.great Stan Ricker.
I think I’m one of the few who are still on a 40 hour work schedule. |
