Hey Steve,
Thanks for the updates on Terry Allen. Other than being noisy, is bloodline recorded alright?
Gonjasufi / A Sufi & a killer
Beth Hart - Fire On The Floor Awesome!!! The Police - Zenyatta Mondatta Excellent Police album. My copy is a bit shy on the low end frequencies. It's a very early pressing copy. Is that the way they wanted the sound, or is it maybe my copy is late in the pressing? The Crusaders - Chain Reaction MoFi Original Master Recording. I got this just a couple of weeks ago and this is my third time to play it. Fantastic! |
@bkeske "Sir John Barbirolli conducts Vaughan Williams - Symphony No.5 In D Major" I absolutely love that piece! After working on his opera "Pilgrim's Progress for many years, RVW used several themes from the uncompleted opera in his Symphony 5, probably thinking that he'd ever complete the opera, so he might as well use the music. The opera is worth checking out, and it's fun to recognize the same themes popping up. |
@reubent +1 on Jimbo Mathis. |
You are the first person here that has ever acknowledged knowing Jimbo Mathus. I love this album and a lot of his other stuff. But I have to admit sometime I don't "get" where he's coming from. Almost seems like 2 different songwriters sometimes. The serious Roots/Americana artist, and the joker... |
Carole King-Simple Things Side 1 SQ Audiophile Michel Legrand-"brian's song" Side 1 Jeffrey Osborne-Don't Stop Side 1 Patsy Cline-The Patsy Cline Story(MCA 2-4038 1977 repress) Side 2 Ferde Grofe-Grand Canyon(London SPC-21002) Side 1&2 SQ Audiophile Gordon Brisker-"About Charlie" Side 2 SQ Audiophile Rival Sons-Head Down Side 2 Willie Nelson-City Of New Orleans Side 2 The SQ crown goes to Carole King/Simple Things due to the exceptional bass quality(Bernie Grundman) The vocals could have projected more forward but it could be the weakness of my speakers? IMO Patsy Cline had the weakest SQ. This was a thrift store find in M- for <$1 If your an acoustic jazz fan I highly suggest "About Charlie" Cedar Walton and Eddie Gomez assist on this 5* recording no need for another Miles Davis recording! Willie Nelson does a great cover of "Please Come To Boston" on this 4.5* recording.

Bobby Darin-The Bobby Darin Story(Atco SD-33-131) Side 1 Alberta Hunter-Look For The Silver Lining Side 2 Beethoven/Brahms-Rubinstein and Szeryng(LSC-2620 AP repress) Side 2 SQ Audiophile Poison-Open Up And Say ... Ahh! Side 1 Stan Rogers-Between The Breaks... Live! Side 1 SQ* The Rolling Stones-Lacerated(IMP 2-108) Side 4 Cleo Laine-Woman To Woman Side 2 Pete Townshend-Empty Glass Side 1 Very rarely do I post/play vinyl on back to back nights but why not take advantage of the best(cleanest) power evening! Even the Stones "bootleg" sounded decent. SQ* would have to play Stan Rogers again but it has borderline Audiophile SQ and is a 5* recording. Forgot how great the writing is on "Empty Glass" wish the SQ was better. Cleo Laine great vocal jazz album(1989) worth seeking out, CD might have better SQ? |
John Mayall - Empty Rooms Had to play it again, just got it the other day. Wonderful album Procol Harum - Broken Barricades Awesome album! And sounds great. Procol Harum - S/T Just got this today, Music On Vinyl reissue. Originally a mono album and remastered still in mono. Great music, very flat and quiet vinyl. MOV always does a good job but this SQ is not good. The original recording quality leaves a lot to be desired. No real bass to speak of and fairly thin sounding vocals and instruments. Rather disappointing. Too bad, I was looking forward to this one. |
Hey there Gents. I saw today that Friday Music is taking pre-orders for a new “remastered” reissue of Dave Mason’s solo debut “Alone Together”. I had thought that all the master, etc., tapes of Dave’s work went up in flames. Does anyone know the source of this new issue? I’m guessing digital files but don’t know for sure. I emailed Friday Music but don’t expect to hear back from them until next Friday. |
