@slaw, speaking of Let It Be Naked, word is the upcoming reissue of All Thinks Must Pass will also be free of Spector's overdone echo & reverb. |
Tom, Black Keys "El Camino" 45rpm Bernie Grundman |
@bdp24 @slaw, speaking of Let It Be Naked, word is the upcoming reissue of All Thinks Must Pass will also be free of Spector’s overdone echo & reverb. As a big Harrison fan, I would love hearing that. It’s easier now with a better system, but I remember listing to that album back in the 70’s (a lot) with a much lesser one, and it really sounded all smashed up into a big sound fur ball. |
Gillian Welch
The Harrow & The Harvest
This does not sound anything like a furball - more like melted butter really. |

Tschaikowski
Sinfonie Nr. 6 h-moll op. 74
Berliner Sinfonie-Orchester
Kurt Sanderling
a recent ebay purchase from Germany from whence I’ve had good results but this, although appearing perfect, is one of the scratchiest records I’ve ever heard. Worse even than my grandparents’ 78s. Not certain if this record ever sounded good, don’t know this label, it’s hooded and muddy besides the tics, maybe double damage. It’s a shame because it’s such good music and this issue has a really nice cover. Will research to find a better issue for the ‘Pathétique’. Please let me know if anyone here knows a good one. @bkeske, do you have a favorite recording of Tschaikowski’s 6th Brian? |

James, I have three
Karajan with the Berlin Philharmonic. Typical Karajan, which isn’t bad. From a 6 LP box set ‘Karajan Great Symphonies’ Deutsche Grammophon. I’m sure this was released as a single album at one time.
Mehta with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. London 1979. Mehta is always interesting. Good recording, a punchier, more distinct and pronounced phrasing. I do like Zubin, a lot, but he has his own way of interpreting.
But, if I had to pick one, it would be Evgeny Mravinsky conducting the Leningrad Philharmonic. From a 1974 Deutsche Grammophon box set containing 4,5,&6. Mine an Italian pressing. Overall, this one just seems to get it all correct to my ears. |
@bkeske, Thanks Brian, I’ll explore those. Great info. |
Pat Benatar - In the Heat of the Night |
@spiritofradio
You can usually find that Mravinsky set for a very good price. Well worth it regardless if you have/get others. My set, fortunately, is extremely clean. |

Logins and Messina "Full Sail"
The Moody Blues "To Our Childrens Childrens Children"

This is a very interesting album, rather spacey. Great SQ! |
Patricia Barber "Cafe Blue" 1-Step
For anyone interested, I just ordered a copy of this on Elusive Disc at a substantial discount, the purchase price of $99.49. The reason is that they have a few considered "scratch & dent" which have a minor issue with either the outer box or a seam. It could be that someone, somehow damaged the packaging at the factory. I say this because Elusive Disc is waiting for new stock from Impex, expected January 29. My guess is that Impex, which has a strong relation with Elusive Disc, provided their flawed boxes to Elusive Disc at a discount. I inquired before the purchase to be certain the record is still factory sealed and had never been sold or played. I was advised that to be the case, that the record is "A stock" quality, and that there are a few of these still available, after my purchase. If you are interested in this fantastic 1-Step issue of Cafe Blue I thought to let you know of this excellent value. Best to you all. |

Another Joni album procured on vinyl. Arrived in the mail today, really nice clean copy, and will be on the TT very soon....
Joni Mitchell - Don Juan's Reckless Daughter. Asylum 1977 2LP gatefold
This may be my personal favorite Joni album. Jaco is pretty incredible on this set. |
@bkeske I have a copy of that Joni Mitchell album, Don Juan's Reckless Daughter. It's a Japanese pressing with the OBI sleeve. It's a great album, musically, and the sonics are outstanding. If your copy sounds as good as the one I have then you are in for a treat. I think that side 2 of disc 1 is my favorite. Do enjoy the album. |

Thanks, it was fantastic. Never ceases to amaze how much different an album is on vinyl that you’ve have, and are used to, on CD. It’s like listening to it new again.
That album is a sonic treat, indeed.
