"I want you my love, but I feel destined for a different sort of medicine
I’ve got to transcribe what's inside into these cylinders of Edison."

A bit of a rough live version here....

I was going through my SACD collection and came across an unopened SACD of a MOFI version of “Kind of Blue”, serial# 00231.
The sound is clean, clean, clean! I played this on the main rig with the volume control set at 50 which is the highest I have ever had it.


We all know how excellent the music is but the absence of any noise or hiss and the extended dynamic range made this a truly special experience. At one point my non audiophile wife said it sounds like they are playing in our living room! I couldn’t have said it any better.

NIN

Roy Harper - Live in Concert at Metropolis Studios London (DVD.)

+666 arcticdeth I appreciate all your metal postings it’s a breath of fresh air on Audiogon! Most of my metal collection is on CD’s vinyl is expensive new or old with very marginal SQ improvements with metal recordings. When you find great sounding metal releases on vinyl or CD please let the Audiogon community know about it. I’m sure there are plenty of closet metalheads here.

  Y&T are so under rated it’s sick!
they had some time and fame in the late 70’s and 80’s, most of their catalog is just overlooked, Maniketti is so damn good, smooth, such a great guitar player, songwriter.
own all their albums, DVD’s etc.
get regular play in our house!

  Love the Maniketti blues cds! So good!!’

'twas the Faces as what made Rod.

+1 nutty Y & T do get overlooked by the mainstream metal crowd. I think the media(radio) thought they sounded to much like Sammy Hagar/Van Hagar which limited radio play,

The Smashing Pumpkins “Siamese Dreams 2011 Deluxe Edition”

In my opinion, their best album.  Everything else they did can’t match this. 

Uriah Heep, “The Magicians Birthday”

@dayglow 
Enjoyed the Y&T post. I'm a big fan. Check out front man Dave Meniketti. His solo music is great as well. Self titled Meniketti and On the Blue Side. For your consideration - "Bad Feeling"

FYI: Snowy White played most of the solos on "In the Skies". He's put out plenty of his own recordings, if you like his style. 

A remastered, expanded version of "The End of the Game" was recently released, which features some of P. Green's most unfettered soloing in a more open-ended rock style than you'll encounter on most F. Mac recordings. It's a bit unfocused for my tastes, but you might like it.

Have you heard the "Live in Boston" Mac material ? If not, check it out-- some great performances alternating more traditional Blues material with jam-oriented tunes that emerged with the release of "Then Play On". I'd suggest you start with with Vol. one (the first of the three cds). 

Y & T-In Rock We Trust(Japanese CD) vinyl night gets an a** kicking warm up.

"I gotta go, got some people to see
Don't wanna keep them waiting for me
Just remember what I said to you now
The clock is ticking but your life will go on for

Always, always, always....".
