+1 @noromance Ian and Sylvia... Nice One! Tonight: Ennio Morricone - The Mission |
@sbank yes, I am up in Georgetown. Not sure how to send you a PM on this site? |
Some days our systems seem to sound better than others. Today is one of those really good days. Yeah! Leon Russell - S/T Audio Fidelity reissue, remastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio, limited edition #243 Jethro Tull - This Was the steven Wilson remaster on Parlophone Records. This album is fantastic! |
@65-gto @sbank Hey guys, next year, around August, I will be flying to Tallahassee. My son is finishing his PhD at FSU by then and I will join him to travel back to Southern California. We will be driving in his car, taking the I-10 all the way. Austin is not far from the I-10 as we pass through Texas. I know it's a year away, but if it works out, we can stop by and say hello. And of course, listen to a few tunes before we are on our way again. I'll keep in touch. |
@mammothguy54 for sure, keep in touch on that. Austin is not much of a diversion off I10 and likely a nice break Charles Lloyd and the Marvels - One Poem - Tone Poet Nathan Davis - Sam Records |

@jek05 - Welcome to the best (and most popular) thread on AudiogoN. Thanks for sharing, and keep 'em coming... |
@jek05 Welcome to this thread. It is fabulous and you will have fun. I look forward to your contributions, too. An early '80s album. You can really tell it was the early dawn of digital recording. But I do enjoy the music. INXS - Shabooh Shoobah A couple of premium MoFi albums I got over the past couple of months. Great music and outstanding mastering/pressing. ELO - Eldorado Alan Parsons Project - Eye In The Sky |
Dark - Round the Corners. I usually run away from proper Prog-Rock like a dog who just got out of the yard - but man, that fuzztone guitar work. An album stuck between genre’s for sure. JassStereo’s Henry Red Allen / Coleman Hawkins discs. I listened to several volumes in succession. Great albums by great players and in stereo - a novelty for them at the time. Vol 2 - High Standards has the best version of Summertime I own - and I own about 20 versions without looking too hard. Most of the songs can be found on other jazz labels, but the JassStereo’s engineers do them justice. Les Differents - S/T. Great Canadian garage punk. I have no idea what they are singing about, but they obviously feel very strongly about it. |
@bslon: Is your A Whiter Shade Of Pale LP (A fantastic album!) a "stereo" pressing? I put stereo in quotes because the original U.S.A. A & M pressing was a "Reprocessed For Stereo" (fake stereo) only release. For that reason we Procol Harum fans sought the UK Regal Zonophone pressing, which was mono only. The only downside of the UK LP is that, as was the custom at that time in the UK, the LP did not contain the hit single! By the way, in the late-90's/early-2000's, Classic Records reissued the album in a 200 gram Quiex SV-P vinyl pressing, and included a second 12" disc containing the song "A Whiter Shade Of Pale", 33-1/3 RPM on one side, 45 on the other. Also included is a 7" 45 containing an alternate take of the song on one side, the song "Lime Street Blues" (in true stereo) on the other. A fantastic release, imo worth what they now sell for. |
Yes, in small print on the jacket’s front is “Electronically Reprocessed For Stereo”. I don’t know about “fake stereo” but the effect is (imo) comparable to the other stereo records I have that were released back then—not exactly gimmicky but maybe not as pleasant as later stereo records. I agree it’s a fantastic album either way. A newer re-issue would be welcome! |
Regarding the Procol Harum album (I am a big fan of Procol Harum and was fortunate to see them in 1971, in a very close seating position), I recently purchased it as a reissue from MOV. The SQ was so poor that I contacted MOV and inquired about it. The person who responded told me that it is from a digital file, is a really bad source material, and that another copy would not provide any better SQ. I contacted Acoustic Sounds and requested an RA for full refund, not an exchange. They were kind enough to oblige. I would like to seek out a Classic Records copy, now that I just learned it exists. By the way, my original copy of Broken Barricades sounds fantastic and is highly recommended, if you can find a NM/M- copy. My copy of A Salty Dog sounds great but has too much vinyl noise. I wish that I could find a copy of the MoFi reissue at a reasonable price. My copy of Home also sounds great but also has too much vinyl noise. It was never reissued so I will live with what I have. |
@mammothguy54 - Hey Joel! I have a copy of the MoFi - "A Salty Dog". The cleaning sticker I put on it shows I bought it in Dec 2018. I'm kinda frugal, so it must not have been too expensive. Hopefully you can find a nice one for a good price. It's a great album. |
