What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report


I enjoy vinyl and digital (lately, with recent changes, vinyl actually sounds better than digital to me), BUT given what seems an overall preference for analog/vinyl on A'gon, I'm curious what the non-vinyl "1/2" is listening to. I tried to see if this was a previously posted question. Did not seem so.

This evening for me, it's Genesis (definitive edition remaster) "A Trick of the Tail".

@ghosthouse - Lee Michaels, "Who Could Want More"

Now THAT’S what I’m talking about. Do You Know What I Mean? Great tune from a great artist........
@reubent

Glad someone else remembers. Lee is kinda overlooked nowadays. Personally, probably able to appreciate him more now than back when. Started looking tonight at his material on Tidal because of an obit someone posted a link to on Audio Asylum. Turns out Barry "Frosty" Smith, the drummer Lee worked with on several albums, died mid April. More sad news.

In my CD Player tonight - The still incredible "Frampton Comes Alive" 1998 Doug Sax Digital Remaster.

I know this record was mega-popular and was overplayed back in the day, and still to this day. But it was, and is, an influential recording that deserves the acclaim it received.

For me, the slow tracks on the record are the stars - "All I Wanna Be (Is by Your Side)", "Winds of Change" and "Lines on my Face" are the big winners for me.
Wow...Lee Michaels. 

I think I might still have "Barrel" on vinyl somewhere. I know I've burned it into the Sony Hap but haven't listened in a while.

I share your appreciation for Comes Alive.  Listened to it a ton back when first released.  I no longer have it.  I do remember enjoying the songs, the playing and the excitement from the crowd noise.    Maybe I need to reacquire it.  Many strong, well written songs...Lines On My Face being one of my favorites too.  Also, Baby, I Love Your Way, especially the lines: 

Clouds are stalking islands in the sun
I wish I could buy one
       Out of season

You like the sonics on that Doug Sax remaster?  Nothing better since 1998???

Talking Frampton:  I do have the 1975 studio album (Frampton in large block, mostly white letters w/some rainbow colors) in vinyl.  Many of the Comes Alive songs are from this.  My vinyl is not an original release, unfortunately. The sonics on it are really excellent though for a nothing special 2nd or 3rd pressing...or whatever.  (I'll Give You) Money is a great closing track...crank it UP.
