| MoFi v/s UHQR @cundare2: I have another "problem" with Tea For The Tillerman: I just don't like Cat Stevens that much . Do you have the 2-LP/45RPM version of the Analogue Productions UHQR Kind Of Blue, or the single LP/33-1/3 version? I went with the sin... | |
| MoFi v/s UHQR @cleeds: It wouldn’t surprise me if Fremer also covered the Tea For The Tillerman subject in his Stereophile column. This would have been quite a few years back now, but may be available in the mag’s archives. I have a lot of Harmonia Mundi... | |
| Mary Martin Died @onhwy61: I’ve read about the Mary Martin/Hawks story in a number of places over the years, most recently in a new book I’m currently reading (see below). Before Dylan even knew about The Hawlks, Robertson and Levon Helm had been hired by John... | |
| The Aaron Copland / Bob Dylan connection I signed up for the 3-LP Third Man Records pressing of the '74 tour recordings, don't know if I'm gonna spring for the 27 CD boxset. | |
| MoFi v/s UHQR @cleeds: The information regarding the Dolby issue came from Bernie Grundman, Chad Kassem, and Michael Fremer. Fremer posted a video on his Analog Corner website telling the story, which was subsequently further discussed with Grundman in anoth... | |
| Best Covers Buddy Miller doesn't do much songwriting (his wife Julie is in charge of that), so does a lot of covers. Here he is doing a Tom T. Hall song, displaying why I consider him one of my favorite living singers: https://youtu.be/q2tXW0OhfKI?si=8e0N... | |
| Best Covers The original by Jackie DeShannon, who wrote the song: https://youtu.be/IZf6YdPVwNY?si=XAqHgc-TqwFfahmP&t=9 A cover by Agnetha Faltskog of ABBA: https://youtu.be/SzE5akQDSEo?si=dQw1x7n0s_vzdDBe The Searchers did a version in 1964, ... | |
| MoFi v/s UHQR Regarding Cat Stevens’ Tea For The Tillerman (the recorded sound quality of which is stunning): For years the go-to version was the original "pink label" Island Records pressing. When Chad Kassem acquired the rights to reissue it on his Analog... | |
| Experienced Maggie Lovers Please Advise @aniwolfe: Your wise recommendation (and choice) of the Eminent Technology LFT-8b will no doubt be ignored, as always. I’m a long-time Maggie owner, starting with the Magneplanar Tympani T-I purchased in 1973, and currently the Tympani T-IVa (t... | |
| MoFi v/s UHQR I should have mentioned that original pressings of 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s LP’s are plentiful, and often available at low cost if you live in a city/town with a good used record store. Just yesterday I found a NM copy of the original pressing of t... | |
| MoFi v/s UHQR For those wanting to access the quality of MoFi vs. Analogue Productions versions of the same album, compare the pressings of Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis. AP offers the album in both 1-LP/33-1/3 RPM and 2-LP 45 RPM versions. Lumping all MoFi ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw: Rodney played at The Roxy on Sunset Blvd. in support of the release of The Houston Kid, just he playing an acoustic guitar accompanied by an electric guitarist (Steuert Smith) and bassist (the great Jerry Scheff, a favorite of mine and T... | |
| New In 2024 @jafant: In addition to the 27-CD boxset of Dylan’s 1974 Live Recordings that Sony Records is issuing on September 20th (27 CD’s !), Third Man Records is issuing a 3-LP set of (some of) those recordings that augments the original 2-LP set from ... |
