@ghosthouse ,

One of my very all time favorite lps is BS&T...the one that begins with 'Variations of a Theme...."...so as to not have this title confused with their other's...  

I own several pressings, but, by far and away, the best sounding one is my ORG!
Okay, @slaw ...that would be the self-titled BS&T which is their 2nd.
Track 1 (below) Variations On A Theme By Erik Satie.

You will forgive me my preference for Child is Father. I like Al Kooper’s voice (and songs) better than David Clayton Thomas’ HUGE pipes. Am in a minority though. A LOT of people seem to have preferred that 2nd album w/DCT. It charted way higher than the first and produced a number of hit singles. To each his own.

That was yesterday though...
Right now, Chick Corea’s Three Quartets

I don’t buy much new vinyl but did with this composition once I heard it (not all that long ago) thanks to Frogman. It is a 2016 release on "Stretch Records". Nice piece of vinyl - flat, good weight and quiet.

What is "ORG"? (original pressing??)



ORG = Original Recording Group

DCT = David Clayton Thomas.

"Frogman" _ I'm surprised you aren't aware of (ORG)
Yeah, DCT is as you have it.

Frogman is a frequent poster over on Jazz Aficionados.  He referenced Three Quartets...maybe included a link to music from it.  Don't recall.  It was a must buy after spending some time with it.  Got new vinyl and a CD version.

re ORG, I might have heard of that label.  Not sure.  Like I said, I don't buy much new vinyl.  Most vinyl purchases are for old stuff...original pressings or as close as I can afford to get  :-)  I get off holding a 40+ year old piece of plastic that sounds fantastic.  Case in point:

Peter Framton's self-titled studio release playing now.  Black with rainbow colors in his white block letter name.  A lot the music on Frampton Comes Alive is on this recording.
