| Best double live vinyl? A lot of people are mentioning Little Feat’s ‘Waiting For Columbus’. I will agree that the recording is pretty good for when it was recorded but I saw Jean Luc Ponty at the Lisner Auditorium and that hall has the worse acoustics of any hall I’ve b... | |
| Best double live vinyl? Can't remember when I last heard this album, maybe sometime in the mid seventies but James Brown's 'Live At The Apollo' has always been considered one of the best live records of all time. MOFI reissued it around 1993. | |
| Mono Recommendations tablejockey, I like the Ella, 'Harold Arlen Songbook Volume 2' from that time period. I run hot and cold with Ella. I had a copy of 'Like Someone In Love' and the portamento was off. Then I figured out that the string section was recorded first an... | |
| Mono Recommendations bdp24, I'll look into on my end. I would make the assumption that if they were offered individually, that they'd be available online. I can ask someone I know at one of the record stores here. Anyway, thanks for clarifying and I'll look into it fu... | |
| Mono Recommendations bdp24, sorry about the confusion. I know I've heard those albums but it was so long ago I cannot remember. It would be preferable if I could buy those two mono records separately. Same with the Rolling Stones mono box set. I want the Decca Between... | |
| Mono Recommendations Thanks all, I know this topic is a bit arcane so I am appreciative for every response. | |

| Mono Recommendations noromance, I noticed the Carmen McRae 'Bittersweet which I'm not familiar with. I have the mono Alfie which apparently is sought out in Paris. A record store around the 11h Arrondissement wanted around sixty euros for a mono Alfie. I paid about se... | |
| Mono Recommendations bdp24, I was disappointed with the Beatles mono remasters but I had a different cartridge then so maybe I should try Rubber Soul again. I have the MOFI Dylan on cd, it's exceptional. Do you know if there's a good mono pressing of 'Odyssey and Orac... | |
| Looking for Blues with High Fidelity Someone who likely has never been mentioned on Audiogon before, the late Jump Blues pianist/singer; H Bomb Ferguson. Unfortunately, his records can;t live up to his live performances. | |
| Speakers with a slightly warm midrange Quad 57's. | |
| Looks like PS Audio has a hit on their hands with the new speaker I believe Steinway speakers are around the 28 K range. | |
| Looking for Blues with High Fidelity The Empress of the Blues; The Complete Bessie Smith on Frog Records. https://www.frog-records.co.uk/ Columbia released a Complete Bessie Smith box set years ago. If you own the Columbia box set, sell it and start collecting these Frog volumes in... | |

| Looking for Blues with High Fidelity The Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs remaster of 'Hooker and Heat'. Featuring John Lee Hooker on vocals and Canned Heat on instrumentals. Blind Al Wilson plays some great guitar licks and blows the harmonica like his life depends on it. it's a three rec... |
