Nice remastering, not as ‘in your face” as the original can be at times. But I like some of that, keeping both copies. RTI pressing, super quiet.

DIO, Sacred Heart
I owned the cassette about 36 years ago. Girlfriend and I watched the DIO documentary a couple of weeks ago and Ronnie James Dio was an incredibly talented man!
I went to the local vinyl shop yesterday and there it was, an original copy in great condition. I'm really, really enjoying it!
I integrated my subwoofer back into the system before picking up the album. Perfect timing!!!

Third Eye Blind arrived and it rocks!@
The red vinyl is really cool!
|
mutton birds, rain steam & speed--plaintive jangly nz folkrock; closer in feel to the go-betweens than to the flying nun bands, but would appeal to fans of either.
meat puppets, monsters--one of the great air guitar records
dillard and clark, through the morning, through the night--not as good overall as the first record, but "polly" is a stone classic
|
I've got Third Eye Blind coming in the mail today/tonight!

Fathers & Sons-ST Side 1
Randy Travis-No Holdin’ Back Side 2
Supertramp-Paris Side 4 SQ Audiophile
Art Farmer-To Duke With Love Side 2 SQ*
Both "live" albums had a natural SQ that appear to have very little, if any touch ups? Tough to call a winner here. Paris was very dynamic with natural vocals. Rogers had a more intimate small venue feel. If Art Farmer had a slightly more laidback perspective it would have Audiophile SQ status.
