Hey Johnny I hear  the Dire Straits and Fleetwood Mac 45 releases are great

That sure wouldn’t surprise me. The Analogue Productions’ 45s’ clarity, smoothness, dynamic range, and in-the-room sensation definitely raises the bar. Even the 1957 recording of "After Midnight" puts Nat King Cole in the room. It's one of my very best records for doing that even thgouh the original recording date was 59 years ago. It turns a stereo system into a virtual reality device and from there to a time machine on these old recordings by long gone artists.

I am going to order them rumours too 

Yes, Rumours and to a lesser degree S/T are both great sounding reissues. Cheers,

oleschool, please let me commiserate on your lost collection (and house!), here in Malibu I go nuts each time temp in the Valley reaches 100 and I realize that one flick of a cigarette butt by a passing asshole or a "friendly citizen" starting another fire, and thats it for my collection!
If I may, does anyone have enything nice to say about Soviet-era pressings from Melodiya? Thats all I had when growing up, totally hated it for warped records, learned that LPs can be totally and consistently flat only after visiting Poland in late 80-ies and bringing back Jethro Tull, Genesis, DireStraits, PF... Was totally stunned when John Schwarts from Chicago ProMusica mentioned that Melodiya made excellent-sounding records!??!!? John is like God to me, but this one statement goes against all my personal experiences! Maybe he just wanted to make me feel better about my x-citizenship?
