Linda Ronstadt/Nelson Riddle

Just picked up a 3 record box set of Linda Ronstadt singing old standards with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra. I think the records may be original Asylum/Electra pressings made in the early/mid 80s.

Folks, Linda Ronstadt and Nelson Riddle were very special artists. I suggest that if you can source these classics on vinyl or CD that you treat yourself to real music.

@Oregonpapa ... I think the Linda/Nelson experience is being helped along by my ARC Ref 150 SE amp which just came back from the factory. Out if the box, it's very magical.

Fair point Ebm.

Anyway, I listened to all 3 records. Wow. Just terrific! I repeat my suggestion that it would be worthwhile to pick up this special collection.

I think Oregonpapa alerted me to the eBay site where the set was auctioned. Thanks man!!

P.S. On another subject, while I think it's too early to post detailed comments on the SE upgrade to my ARC Ref 150, suffice to say, I think the amp sounds better than it did before. Still waiting for the flowers to bloom because the amp is just starting beak-in.

This was also released on DVD-A as a multi-channel recording. Great sound, back in the day when Linda could sing like an angel.
