A while back I thought I would buy another CD as a back up for the one I have already  I found one on ebay for $300!! The song Misty is on my CD and I love the way they perform that song  My son was considering a stereo rig after he heard this vid I made of one of the songs from the CD

Nice video!

The instruments used and the performances must have provided an awesome demonstration of high end sound.

Most threads on Agon make me wish there was a block button available.  This one makes me wish there was a like button!  Some many albums to revisit and more importantly, so many to experience for the first time!  Thanks to everyone who has and will contribute to this!  

if it weren't for the dreadful sonics, the '38 benny goodman allstar jazz concert at carnegie hall would be top of the list. it was hearing that recording that made me get involved with digital audio restoration in the first place!
