@curiousjim, thank you so much for the kind words. My problem is I have so much music, I can never decide what to play. Most times I just get lazy and end up listening to FM stereo all day.

Ozzy Osbourne, “Ordinary Man”. Ozzy’s latest, very catchy tunes. |

Mary Stallings, "Fine And Mellow" vinyl LP Ozzy Osbourne, "Ordinary Man" CD
When I saw David Ten's pick, it reminded me I had a Mary Stallings LP from around 1990-93 that I had not heard for quite a while. I went to two extremes between a Jazz singer and Ozzy. Thanks david_ten for reminding me.

The Doors, “Absolutely Live” |
@uberwaltz,
Pornografitti and III Sides To Every Story are their two best IMHO. |
I just found my old Sheffield Track and Drum Cd. The two drum tracks were amazing. The drums sounded so clean and tight. At one point, the drums were whacking me in the chest. Feeling pretty pleased right now. |
The Who, “Who”
I have really tried to like this as it’s my sixth time playing it. I don’t like this, it is too mellow which I understand because Daltry doesn’t have the vocal range any longer. This should have been something under Pete and Rogers name, not The Who as it doesn’t even remotely sound like The Who.
My verdict, one BIG stinkeroo. |
|
Jimi Hendrix, “Band of Gypsy’s” On Vinyl
received this vinyl reissue today via FedEx from Music Direct. Excellent dynamics, very clean sounding. One of the best live Fillmore East recordings. Bass goes very low and not at all thin sounding. Of course all the songs are first rate. Highly recommended! |
Analog FM Radio via a MagnumDynalab MD 100 tuner. FM 94.1 in Rhode Island. Very relaxing. |
Roger Waters, “Amused To Death“ SACD A sonic masterpiece. David Gilmour, “On An Island” CD David Gilmour, “Live At Pompeii” Double Vinyl |
The MC5, “Kick Out The Jams” 1991 re-issue The MC5, “Back In The USA”
one of my biggest regrets is never having been to one of their live concerts. When they came to my area, I was very ill and didn’t go. A BIG regret. Waiting for Wayne Kramer’s MC50 to come around my neck of the woods.

@uberwaltz,
I will keep my fingers crossed for your wife’s safety. I am glad my wife retired from the hospital she worked for 43 years. The lab she worked in has no gloves, masks or protective gear, yet they still have to work. It’s criminal. Browsing the forums takes the edge off a little. We found out today that a person our Son works with in northern New Jersey has the virus yet my sons doctor told him he can’t get tested unless he has 3 symptoms of the virus. So much for anyone can get tested and piece of mind. |
Pretty much listening to FM radio the past few weeks. I’m quite depressed with Covid 19, and very worried about family and friends catching the disease. Doubtful my depression will end until this nightmare is over. I wake up in the morning and wonder will this be the day that I or another family member comes down with it. Before this fiasco, 99% of the time I was a very happy and content person. I just can’t really enjoy my systems right now and I apologize for being a Debbie Downer.
|
Ozzy Osborne, “Ordinary Man” |
@ozzy ,
that’s amazing. I was very much into them when they were together. Is it true that all the other original members are no longer with us? I distinctly remember buying the “Kick Out The Jams” record the first day it came out. I hurried to the local record store to buy one. I remember at the time the owner told me he only ordered 6 copies of it. I just finished reading Wayne Kramers Book, “The Hard Stuff”. Quite a story. Thank you for sharing that information, much appreciated. |
Tom Petty, “Damn The Torpedos” Vinyl CSN&Y, “Deja Vu” Vinyl |
Jeff Beck, “Blow By Blow” SACD |
|
Nirvana, “From The Muddy Banks Of The wishkah” CD |
Frank Zappa, “Hot Rats” Vinyl
This ends today’s listening session. Wife and I are going to binge watch Dateline tonight with 4 of the latest ready to play. Let’s keep washing those hands and keep social distancing. |
I did a comparison between Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were here on the Sony Legacy Cd with SBM (super bullshit marketing) and the stereo layer of Acoustic Sounds “Wish You Were Here” SACD. I paid $50.00 for the Sony Legacy CD from Tower Records in Boston (remember Tower Records?) and about the same price for the SACD from Acoustic Sounds. I have heard both probably a gazillion times and after very careful listening, the Sony Legacy CD really sounds much better and more natural than the SACD version. There are more dynamic swings to the music on the Sony Legacy CD as evidenced by the meters on my Mac power amp.
The bass is much deeper and more taut, and the highs seem to have a little extra sparkle. In the midrange, David Gilmour’s voice seems more relaxed where the SACD version sounds a bit ragged and even screechy at one point. I do know that I enjoyed the Sony Legacy version much more on my system. I do want to point out that SBM really stands for Super Bit Mapping and it seems to make the CD sound more realistic. So, there you go, I know everyone was dying to know. |
