Great sounding CDs out there...


Hi. Hoping to share some info on well-recorded, great-sounding CDs available. I am a vinyl & digital enthusiast, and I do enjoy well-recorded CDs almost as much as good vinyl. Here are a few of my suggestions. Please pass along others:

Beck: Sea Change
Warner Brothers remasters of Fleetwood Mac & Rumours
Hope Waits
All Alison Krauss releases; especially live
Talking Heads "Special New Edition"; Warner Bros./Sire
Mark Knopfler "One take Radio Sessions";
Mark Knopfler "Sailing to Philidelphia"
MFSL Natalie Merchant "Tiger Lily"
Warren Zevon "Excitible Boy" Rhino remaster
10,000 Maniacs "Unplugged"; Elektra

These are just a few. I would really appreciate other suggestions. Thanks!

Aqualung? Seriously? Great album, a true classic, but a abysmal recording even on first pressing vinyl. I have purchased this album on digital disc three different times and even the latest version culled from the long lost,but suddenly found, first generation master tape sounds brutal. Flat, compressed, dry, harsh, congested. Sometimes first generation master or not, some recordings, especially mutli-tracked rock recordings, are just plain bad.
