Whats on your turntable tonight?

One of my top albums all time, finally on vinyl. IMHO the pinnacle of his career. Remastered by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound. It's 99% gotta be from digital source, but SQ is good-to-excellent varying by track. Quiet pressing. I

MHO the ballads are noticeably improved vs. the CD, w/acoustic guitars especially full-bodied & lead vocals popping off a black background, but dynamics on piano, horns & blockbusters(e.g. Church) ...I was hoping for more wham & texture.

Overall:  Music: 10/10     Sound: 8.5/10

@slaw no issues w/ side 3.

Big +1 for Romantic Warrior, the LP that got this pre-teen rocker into jazz eons ago.

@bslon @slaw My Classic Records Rough Mix sounds great. "Street In The City" is a demo track. Perhaps my standards are lower. I looked and they appear to have only done one run, so probably same batch.

"The Shins performance on October 6th, 2012 inaugurated the groove-carving voyage of Third Man Record's 1953 Scully Lathe that previously churned out masters for Cincinnati's legendary King Records. The 8 tracks on this live recording mark Third Man Record's first ever cut live direct-to-acetate."
