Good Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Sessions"?


I just listened to a new CJ Trin Sessions (RCA 8568-1-R). What a HUGE dissappointment compared to the Gold CD. I could tell this thing sucked from the first 5 seconds where I could barely hear the the ventilaton system running in the background in the church.

Is there an LP pressing of this album worth getting, i.e. better than the CD?

Mine is also 8568-2-R. The first song has a very noticeable background noise because of the solo vocal, but I still enjoy it . The rest of the CD is also not of the absolute highest quality, but it certainly has satisfied my new-found taste for the CJs. I am listening to this 1988 recording for the music, and I like it very much. BUT: I do understand your point Metaphysics.
I have never cared much for this recording, so my original issue LP has only been played a few times. If you are interested in buying it, I'll sell it for $15 plus shipping.
There is an LP pressing on the Simply Vinyl catalog. I've not heard it, but is ispressed on 180 gram vinyl. The best pressing is of course Classic Records' long out of print re-issue. I MAY have a "line" on a sealed copy, which I will put up for sale on Audiogon if/when it arrives (I have a pefect copy of it, so don't another one). Whatch the auctions!
I have the trinity session on both vinyl and the RCA cd. The vinyl version is much better. I always thought the rca cd was a great recording, but the vinyl trounces it. I hope it comes out on SACD. It actually is a direct to digital recording.
get in touch with SdCampbell.
imo, the original Lp pressing is the one to have.

Best,
