ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE QUESTION TO ANSWER ...

Hello to all...

Hypothetical question: You are going into an audio store to listen to a Cambridge Audio CDX81 Integrated amp and a CDX CD Transport thru speakers you are familiar with (or have at home in your system). You are allowed to bring only ONE CD TO LISTEN TO, by one group and/or one artist - WHAT IS IT AND WHY?

OF COURSE - there were those who will say I don't do CDs - so in that case you can only access ONE COMPLETE ALBUM OF MUSIC BY ONE GROUP OR ARTIST.

NO SINGLE SONGS PLEASE...

NO TWO CHOICES PLEASE - NO "... IF I COULDs PLEASE... "

My Choice: BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS  by Blood Sweat and Tears, 1962. Great tunes, fairly well recorded; lots of horns, drums and "odd sounds"; loud and soft levels throughout; different vocalists solo and in harmony - and lots of Toe-tappin' Music.

What would your choice be?

Blood on the Tracks - Bob Dylan

If for no other reason than it was my first demo disc when I was checking out my first turntable.

It's still a great recording today in any format.

Jeff Wayne’s amazing recording of War of the Worlds! After all the dynamics, Richard Burton’s voice better be ’right’, it is very revealing.

I’ve also got the LP version, bring that too, leave it in the car, then ....!

"Abbey Road." Once through, start to finish, and you'll know if what you are auditioning is right. (You'll know sooner than that, of course, but why not listen anyway.)
