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
Andreas Vollenweider-Caverna Magica Side A SQ Audiophile
Fleetwood Mac-Live Side 3
Johnny Lytle-Swingin’ At The Gate Side 2
Roberta Flack-Featuring Donny Hathaway Side 1
Liz Story-Part Of Fortune Side B SQ Audiophile
Shooting Star-Hang On For Your Life Side 2
Buena Vista Social Club-ST(repress) Side 1
Karen Brooks-Walk On Side 1
All recordings sounded very good tonight although I could only give 2 Audiophile status with Liz Story just edging in. Carverna Magica is a great (SQ) recording which might set you back $15? IMO the performance/SQ is superior to many $100+ Audiophile must haves? Shooting Star might interest Bad Company fans with a slightly updated 80’s vibe. Buena Vista Social Club is another disappointing vinyl repress(expected better SQ) might keep looking for the original CD at the thrift stores.
@tomic601 I hadn’t listened to it front to back since way back. After you (and I think another member) posted about it the other day I gave it some better attention and ordered it as a result. It’s been said before: best thread. Thanks!
yes, i find this thread and solid contributors to be an essential part of my listening day….
;-) Glad you are here James…
i love the tempo change in Queen of Hearts and the horns… i spent some significant time in Macon, i felt the groove…faint as it may have been by then…..
big_greg and Spiritofradio got me interested in pulling these out.
Ambrosia - S/T
Alan Parsons - Tales Of Mystery And Intrigue
Both are early pressings. A bit more surface vinyl noise than I remember. But still, great music and very good sounding. I wish that I had the Alan Parsons on MFSL. I do have I Robot on UHQR. Now, that one is very special.
Rickie Lee Jones S/T MFSL, I got this when it first released on MFSL. Side one has the "hits" but side two I find to be deeper into her talent. What a great album. MFSL did a superb job on this. Sonics are just right.
I'm buying the AP issue of Laid Back this weekend. I'm waiting to buy the new Beth Hart album that is supposed to release on 2/25. That way I can combine for free freight on all😃
