The finest technically recorded album. LP or CD

I second Egoss on Amused to Death.....wow! Waters does it like no other in the rock world.

"Technically recorded" What does this mean? I meant to say recording with the most "presence". Why esle would we buy Hi-end equipment? I thought it was to recreate the actual preformance in our own listening rooms as close as possible.

Lugnut, Count Basie "Basie Jam" The album name Jam #3 is a killer! I just bought it last night along with Janis Ian and Joni Mitchell's "Court and Spark", also I got in mint condition Kenny Barron's "Scratch" on Enja label. WOW what recordings! Thanks for some great leads!

Champtree, I too have #3 as well as #2. By far, the content and realizm of the original is best. It's readily available on Pablo records for next to nothing. It's also avilable from Analogue Productions (the same company that did "Breaking Silence) and is the absolute best. While I agree with Viridian and others that 45 rpm D to D is the ultimate way to go, generic recording technology, especially when you judge content, can so good it's spooky. I've said for years that a good recording is equal or better than thousands of dollars in new equipment. Glad you like my suggestions. You are most welcome!
