Since this particular posting is about music, and not about format, it would be nice if Eldragon expanded on his comments. It appeared to me that the Mozart "Requiem" Berliner Philharmoniker with Claudio Abbado on DG label was the winner, and on CD. But, perhaps the judgement was one of musical performance and or content, and did not involve a judgement about LP versus CD. It would be interesting to know.
albert, how did you like tower? aside form local used stores, its where i go now for product. i LOVE getting used vinyl for a fraction of the new prices. los angeles is plentiful with this kind of outlet. (poor english, i know). everyone is excited about patricia barber and rightly so, but her '91 album 'a distortion of love' is a masterpiece. thats all you get this time peeeeeeple, one title. regards........tr
Tommy, Liked Tower very much. I did not find anything this visit, but will return again soon. I have been going strong on EBAY, they seem to always have multiple titles that I want. I just missed a T Bone Walker, outbid by .50 cents! Anyway, I just ordered 24 new titles from Classic Records, 8 of which are the 45 RPM pressings. Can hardly wait to hear all of them.
albert, i havent gotten any of the classics but the kind of blue interests me a lot. with about 6k LPs, i have plenty of choices at home. it doesnt stop me from buying more tho. sometimes buying a new cartridge is like buying new records. thats what happened when i got the oc9. evay sounds like a good thing, but sight unseen is difficult for me. there are a multitude of places to get used vinyl here in LA, and i feel fortunate. theres a hi fi swap llisted in the audio asylum genersal asylum on 30apr plus a record swap at the same loc. hit upscaleaudio.com for info.
Anything by GENTLE GIANT the best 70's progressive band. Also anything by Pat Metheny, Flim + The BB's , Bela Fleck on the jazz side.
