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
E.L.O. - Discovery. This one is a CBS Master Sound Half-Speed mastered copy. It sounds good in comparison to the 1979 Jet Records copy I listened to yesterday. A little more detailed and "airy".
+1 @big_greg The claimed problem with the earlier released CBS Half-Speed’s is the treble is over accentuated. Not sure if I believe this since I only have 5 or 6 CBS Half/Speed albums. IMO they offer Audiophile SQ for a fair used price my Grofe/Grand Canyon and Silk Degrees have excellent SQ. I’m curious what your opinion is regarding this series.
@dayglowI have Chicago's greatest hits and ELO's greatest hits and maybe a couple of others. I find them to be very quiet and detailed. They certainly don't sound "bright". I like them.
@big_greg Please let me know the SQ of your purchases. I'm looking for 'Toys In The Attic" "Tapestry" "Blow By Blow" "Cat Scratch Fever" and "Infinity". Not sure if Cheap Trick "Live At Budokan" was part of the series. I know Pink Floyd "Wish" and "Wall" would be difficult to find for <$100.
