Anybody own any direct-to-disc LP's?

The LPs were great - one of the things that got me into this madness, even though I was only playing them through a Technics receiver, a Sanyo turntable and Infinity Qas, circa 1979.

Try Dave Grusin Discovered Again if you don't mind elevatorey, contemporary instrumental music aka "jazz".

It's an excellent recording, which to my ears was never surpassed or even equaled on later CD releases.

As Pkubic points out, you can find all of these D2Ds in good condition and sometimes unopened on Ebay, if not here on Audiogon.

I'm a jazz fanatic. Any jazz recorded in this format?

I have all of the Sheffield D2D LPs. I think they are excellent. You can still find them on ebay or here from time to time.

There is another 45rmp D2D LP of "The Bill Cunliffe Trio Live at Bernie's" released by Groove Note. It might still be in print. I don't know if you like the music but the recording and the transfer are absolutely first rated.

I have a ton of D2D records and I agree, they are quite good.

There were several jazz D2D titles released back in the mid to late 70's - one that is truly exceptional is "The Three" which featured Joe Sample, Ray Brown and Shelly Manne on the East Wind label. It was also later released on LP from the master tape, but it paled in comparison to the original D2D release. Other labels that offered D2D LPs were Nautilus (that had a John Klemmer title) and Sheffield Labs.

Acoustic Sounds recently started recording some new titles which they released in D2D LPs, and it looks like they're mostly jazz and blues. I haven't heard these, but from experience with Acoustic Sounds I'm confident that they'll be great quality recordings. As far as whether you'll like the music I can't say...
