Direct 2 Disc

Sheffield did some good D2D recordings.  I like a couple of their Harry James records--"Still Harry After All These Years" and "King James Version"; also
Amanda McBroom-"West of Oz" and "Growing Up in Hollywood Town";

M&K Realtime Records did some really good D2D discs, such as:
Bill Berry--"For Duke"
Earl Hines -- "Fatha"
Dukas-"Sorcerer's Apprentice," Chabrier-"Espana", Debussy-"Nocturnes"

On Concord Jazz:
LA4-"Just Friends"

There are certain labels that did terrific sounding records that are not D2D but just as vibrant and alive as that type of records.  Look for the Japanese Label East Wind, the original issues are better than the reissues, so pay more and get the originals.

The D2D that you refer to are probably from Blue Heaven Studios in Salinas Kansas and they offer up quite a few selections of seldom or never recorded artist which I have about 20 of and they are all well done. My favorite of theirs is a Pinetop Perkins recording at 45 rpm, check them out.

The albums I referred to above are D2D even the 45 rpm one by Pintop Perkins.

D2D's are somewhat hard to find, but if you live in a large city, or can get to a near by one, many of the larger record stores can and do have a fairly large collection of Sheffield Labs D2D's. Or other D2D labels for that matter. Just examine them very closely for condition. Some of the earlier Sheffield's I had developed a lot of surface noise, even though I handled them carefully and had a proper TT setup.

Dear @larryi  : Even that are not D2D  the ones I own from East Wind are very good recordings and a must to own.
