@bkeske, you just reminded me that I need to track down McMurtry’s “Too Long in the Wasteland” on vinyl. I was managing a record store in 1989 when that came out and I had the cd on repeat in the shop for weeks!

I’ve found all my vinyl replacements are better than my CD versions. Of course I don’t have a digital rig set-up like @tomic601

In every case, especially with my vinyl rig now, LP’s just sound ‘right’; More natural, with better timbre and tone. 

I won’t replace them all, but the more important ones? Yes, when I can or if they are available.

Manfred Mann "Watch"  

All this talk on Mayall, I had to play them.

John Mayall  "Blues From Laurel Canyon"  A second trip through the Degritter has helped quite a bit.  The quietest song on the album though, First Time Alone, is the noisiest.  Darn...  But what a great album.  And mine, after all, is an English pressing.

John Mayall  "John Mayall & Friends"  And what friends they are on this album.  Peter Green, Gary Moore, Mick Fleetwood, Mick Taylor, Billy F Gibbons, Steve Miller, John McVie, and several others.  These cuts were made in 2001 and the album (at least in vinyl) was released last year.  Unless I am mistaken, I know that I was on the waiting list for several months.  This pressing is made in Germany and the vinyl is very quiet, the plating/pressing is excellent, and the overall SQ is about as good as it gets without having to pay for 1-Step, IMHO.

  "John Mayall & Friends"  

I’ve had my eyes on that one too. Almost all my Mayall collection is pre-80’s, but I’ve head some of his newer releases are very good. Should just check them out on Tidal I guess, to take a listen.
