The very best sound: Direct to Disc

@bdp24  : All those you posted about Keltner/Ron we can listen clear in the Sheffield recording. Good.

I love the music and performance on the M&K D2D “FOR DUKE” by Bill Berry and his Ellington All Stars

Dear @rvpiano and friends: We are talking of D2D qualityb recording alternative and with out doubt the well recorded ones are in other different league than the LP recordings coming from the R2R.

We all know that exist several labels ( ACT Music, ATR, FIM, Opus3, Stockfish, Clarity, Stereophile, Audioquest, RR, same Sheffield, Wilson, Water Lily, Athena, Levinson, Rega, Propirous, VTL, OMR, etc, etc. ) with great quality recordings that are not D2D recorded and against the well recorded D2D LP’s just can beats it or even it and against the top D2D LPs no contest at all, these ones are just untouchable.

Well in my opinion and first hand experiences exist one tape recorded LP that can be in the same league as the well recorded D2D and this LP is a must to have for any one of us that like top qualityb recording.

The LP comes from Original Master Recording label ( MFSL 004 . ) and was recorded between 1975 and 1977, title: The Power and the Majesty.

It’s the recording of 1940’s steam locomotive and an outstanding live Thunderstorm.
In this track when one drop of the rain hits a window and when rain drops hits the already rainy flor is extremely real as if you was exactly there and one of the thunders too, I said the track is outstanding but this is a misunderstood because there are not words to explain it other than a live/real event: nothing less. Astonishing quality recording for say the least.

Recorded by Brad Miller and the Remote 4/2 channel recording system were designed by Carl Countryman ( totally unknow for me. ) and master laquers by Stan Ricker.

If you can’t own/buy it at least look for a friend that has it and listen it. A high resolution room/system is a must to.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
R.

Also Earl Hines M&K title “Fatiha”

Correction “Fatha” as in father
