Joan Osborne? Perfectly understandable.

Fear of Music, IMO, has probably ‘aged’ better than any of the Heads albums. And, well engineered too. Still  sounds great after all these years….wait…could probably say the same for 99.9% of my vinyl 😁
Starting with Steely Dan Katy Lied. Thought about slipping into a Rush binge, but I have the day off tomorrow so I’ll get into that tomorrow. 

bkeske, very cool that you saw Bobby back then. I was fortunate enough to see the Dead 40+ times from ‘85-‘95 as well as a few offshoots. Good times.

Now, with 32+ hours on the new amp I am beginning to dig into some premium vinyl.

Getz/Gilberto  AP/QRP 45 RPM.  This is a real treat.  It's like the musicians are in the room with you.

Miles Davis  'Kind Of Blue'  AP/QRP UHQR.  I got this about 6 weeks ago.  Limited Edition #1177.  They make 1,000 copies off of a master stamper and then use a new stamper for the next 1,000.  Thus, my copy is 177 on the next stamper.  What a great production on one of the all time jazz recordings.

The 3-dimensional depth, spatiality, and natural tonal timbre is astonishing.  I look forward to this weekend.  Aural delight!  I busted the budget, but holy cow, this is the best sound I have ever owned.  Time to enjoy life.
Joel - right on man ;-) enjoy the ride

Trigger Hippy - s/t

the Joan thing…….

That is still such a fun LP.

The Modern Lovers, when I heard it that album for first time in the mid-70’s, made me re-think my musical preferences (at the time a dedicated Dead Head hippy). They were way ahead of their time when you consider when the songs on that LP were first played (early 70’s). I took notice, and could not believe what I was hearing.
Big Star "#1 Record"
Craft Recordings/2019
from the original tapes/all analog mastering

My other copy is a Four Men With Beards which Fremer says are from digital sources. I always thought it sounded thin/stident

Oh yeah! This copy sounds great.

Handel Keyboard Suites
Sviatoslav Richter
EMI; His Master's Voice Series
German Pressing

Albinoni
5 Concertos for Oboe and Strings
Pierre Pierlot- oboe
Antiqua Musica Chamber Orchestra
Jaques Roussel conductor 
Angel 1965
Baroque mood tonite
Tom Fogerty "Excaliber"
Craft Recordings/2018
"cut from the original analog masters"

This one's been on my radar since I saw it offered by Intervention Records/Kevin Grey.

The Craft is over $10.00 cheaper. Maybe a lesser quality vinyl/pressing plant. We'll see......
Tom Fogerty sounded really good. The vinyl wasn't as shiny black and without scuff marks as all of my Intervention Records lps are. I believe I can coax 5% more SQ out of this Craft pressing with a slow steam and another trip through the Vibrato. 

Enjoyable album!

They are? From her ongoing archives. Assuming these are from her personal tapes......like Neil Young.
