Whats on your turntable tonight?

I love Williams’ canon. Out of loyalty to my great aunt (the founder) I have the Angel Records release with Adrian Boult conducting but was looking for something with a more fidelity.

I love Boult conducting Williams, and yes, most all are on Angel. I have a few of them. Many folks I know who primarily listen to classical, also really enjoy those Angel releases, still. 

I forgot that, yes, you did mention once that your great aunt was a founder of Angel. Pretty incredible. I have many many Angel LP’s, and they are all consistently good.

The Chandos release definitely has more ‘fidelity’. That one was a 1985 reissue/DMM remaster release, but have a feeling the original from 1979 was true analog. Regardless, sounds fantastic.

A rare occurrence a rock recording(Squire) takes the SQ trophy tonight. No recordings  had below average SQ. 1977 was a great deep year for "Classic Rock" Pat Travers is almost always overlooked, a great guitar recording.
