It’s pretty good Brian. I had never heard it, nor streamed it, just took a chance. Familiar old Van. Not great, but pretty darn good. Worth having in the collection.

Nice 1st post @matt212121…also an Enya fan here with several CDs but no LPs ☹️ |
Johnny Mathis-Romeo And Juliet(CS 9909) Side 1 Bob Dylan-Real Live Side 2 War-Greatest Hits Side 2 SQ Audiophile Bob James-Touchdown(25AP1184 Master Sound 76) Side A SQ Audiophile Doobie Brothers-Cycles Side 1 Luther Vandross-Busy Body Side B SQ Audiophile Chopin-Chopin By Starlight(SP 8371) Side 1 Eurythmics-Sweet Dreams(are made of this) Side B SQ* Another diverse vinyl night. Played 2 of my M- Goodwill finds... Chopin was decent but Mathis just OK. Cycles what a great "comeback" album. Many 70's "Classic Rock" artists had strong albums that year(89). SQ* Sweet Dreams might have Audiophile SQ but would need another spin. Very tough 3 way SQ tonight but Touchdown edges out Vandross/War. |
@bslon Thx. War is difficult to categorize, a little Santana/Tower of Power and some of the song writing ability of Stevie Wonder. FWIW Acoustic Sounds will be reissuing the first 5 Bad Company recordings on 45 rpm vinyl. |
@dayglow Hard to categorize War but fun music and high end sonics. Analogue Productions latest project is "75 for 75" a new series of 75 vinyl releases from Atlantic Records' storied catalog to celebrate the label's 75th Anniversary. The initial list includes Bad Company, Yes, others. It should be interesting! |
Beethoven Symphonies, William Steinberg and the Pittsburgh Symphony on Command. I was unaware of this set, and Googling it has been considered an early stereo audiophile recording because Command used 35 mm tape. Despite that I found it sonically disappointing, harsh, prone to overload at the climaxes. The Hall seems to have a lot of resonance and the veteran Steinberg doesn’t seem to allow for it, with a muddy sound produced by not letting echoes decay. It makes me wonder if the set was recorded in a different venue from where the Orchestra routinely played. I found the Brahms Symphony cycle from the same forces, reissued on DG on CD, to be much better sonically and interpretively. |
@slaw love Jenny seen her several times. |
Jack Jones-Our Story Side 2 Sammy Hagar-Live 1980 Side 1 George Muribus-Trio 77 Side A SQ Audiophile The Who-Meaty Beaty And Bouncy Side 1 Teena Marie-Starchild Side 1 SQ Audiophile K.D. Lange And The Reclines-Absolute Torch And Twang Side 2 SQ Audiophile Yes-The Yes Album Side 2 SQ * Three Dog Night-Around The World Side C+D SQ* Not sure if I have an OP of Yes? TDN Floyd Sneed’s drum solo had Audiophile SQ but the album fluctuates in SQ. K.D. Lange takes the SQ crown. |
for the first time in a long time i actually sat in my living room w/o any distractions and listened to some randoms discs, specifically: jesus and mary chain, darklands--not sure if i like this poppier iteration more than the skronky debut, but it is unique joe jackson, night and day--this sorta sophisto-pop isn’t my cup of java, and i still think he’s a lousy singer, but he is a very good musician and this is a very well-engineered set green on red, gravity talks--best of the bunch
