GREAT MUSIC - SO POORLY RECORDED...
@skipskip Appreciate your post. Very interesting inside info. 
Your Top Five Blues LPs, SQ-wise...
@slaw thnx for tip on TYA. Unfortunately not their greatest fan. They make a great playlist though. But what is "S/T". See it often in vinyl threads.Isn't Lyle Lovett "Music from the movies" rather blue? 
Whats playing on your system today?
Taj Mahal - Giant Steps, The real thing etc.

Would that be vinyl pressings? The cd (streaming) transfer of Bring the Family is not very listenable IMO. However the last "blues" album by Hiatt "The Eclipse Recordings" is a gem. Both songs and SQ. He belongs to the (few) artists that still can... 
Tidal - why only remastered versions?
Some are better and some are worse. Often the remastered version or original cd has been mastered with a compressed sound with lower bass and higher mids and treble. I suppose this is partly done to get a different sound that they can say has impr...

@ slaw shows how different sounding masterings can be of the same music. My UK version is actually little dark with beautiful vocals (lots of 3D). Reference to me because I can play it at any level without hearing fatigue. The same for a newly acc...
