I have a 2014 Cosmos version on Fantasy pressed at QRP that sounds pretty good. It's  the same year as the Analog Productions release and both were pressed at QRP. Same lacquer? Maybe.

 

The Kinks - Arthur Or The Decline and Fall of the British Empire

1969/1975 Reprise Records Reissue

An interesting mix of old and new albums, today.

Fleetwood Mac  -  Then Play On   Got this one back in 1971 or 72.  It saw many plays on my parents Magnavox console, and sounds it (very noisy vinyl).  I have the early US issue that has 'Oh Well' on it.  Not too many of these were made.  Awesome album, I will have to get the double LP issue, once it comes off of backorder.

Robin Trower  -  Bridge of Sighs   This is my second attempt at hopefully getting a good sounding copy.  They both sound terrible.  Damn it, I love the album.

Oscar Peterson Trio  -  We Get Requests   AP/QRP Verve reissue.  Wonderful!

Earl Klugh & Bob James  -  Two Of A Kind   Great modern jazz album.  Great SQ.

Blue Stingrays  -  Surf-N-Burn   Got this a few weeks ago (thanks to this thread) and am enjoying it several times now.  Great surf music album!

Dimeola McLaughlin De Lucia  -  Saturday Night In San Francisco.  This is my fourth time to play this new acquisition during the past few weeks.  Impex really knows how to produce a fine piece of vinyl.  Wish I could have been at that concert.

Steel Dan  -  Everything Must Go   Third time I have played this recent acquisition.  Of course, there is plenty of digital recording for this album, it was made in 2003.  But man, the mastering for analog (vinyl) and the plating/pressing is phenomenal.  One the very best studio albums for demo of your system.  And of course, the music is fantastic, especially the title track.  The bass and kick drum on this album are just stunning.  


Linda Ronstadt / Greatest Hits Volume Two
1980 Asylum

Nice song selections, surprising good SQ.
