What CD sound is the best?

Thank you, Mapman, for those lyrics! I remember seeing ELP during their Brain Salad Surgery tour - BEST concert I have ever attended!! - and Greg Lake slipped in "Confusion will be my epitaph" during "Take A Pebble". The crowd went wild!!!

To the OP, I believe that most of the King Crimson and Moodie Blues albums are available as hi-res versions. I have most of the King Crimson albums that were re-mastered/mixed by Stephen Wilson and they sound *fabulous*. And, being multi-channel, they sound much better to me than the 2-channel CD versions...

On a side note neither King Crimson, nor The Moody Blues, have even been nominated I am pretty sure to be in the R&R hall of fame to date. No ELP either.

On a brighter note, Yes is nominated this year and will surely make it, FWIW.

Great art doesn't just go away though. Hopefully, each will get all the recognition they deserve.

no matter what's being tried to re-master, very seldom i would like it vs. the first release. particularly in king crimson 'court of the...' it's never outperformed an original release.

"particularly in king crimson 'court of the...' it's never outperformed an original release."

Are you talking about vinyl? As far as CDs, everyone is recommending the 40th Anniversary remaster above all other other versions.

-RW-: Thanks for reminding me of the "Cunfusion.." being slipped in. I totaly forgot about that. I think I have an ELP live LP (the one with 3 LP's?) that has it recorded.
Sheesh, hope we did'nt hijack this thread too much.
