@uberwaltz,

We've discussed this before but...have you sought out JT "Catfish Rising"? The second lp is cut at 45rpm...it's pretty special.

@slaw 

I only have catfish rising saved in my Tidal albums.

So the original vinyl is cut at 45rpm or is that a special remastered release that is cut at 45rpm?

OP
Aja is definitely a great test album for sure, I have it too, a fairly decent copy.

I have heard that the I robot by alan parsons is good but I have not heard it yet, on my todo list!

I did find catfish rising by JT on Discogs only for the 45rpm version.

$46.50 shipped cheapest.

Is it a worthy contender for a great audition album and all round great l.p.?
