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.

I enjoyed the Ronstadt/Riddle recordings very much, and than Natalie Cole released 'Unforgettable, With Love' and I pretty much forgot about the Ronstadt recordings!
Bifwynne ...

I'm happy that you're enjoying the recordings. They're among my favorites.

Here's another must have: Dean Martin's "Dream With Dean." Its just been re-released by acoustic sounds on a two-record set ... 45rpm. But, if you can find a clean copy of the original, its simply magic. This is what you're looking for: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DEAN-MARTIN-LP-REPRISE-RS-6123-STEREO-DREAM-WITH-DEAN-/351071651187?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51bd804573

If you get this album, you will be freaking out. It that good.

You see What's New around a lot in thrift shops. All these recordings are great,good stuff.
Bif, Now listen to Sinatra sing What's New, on his 1958 album, "Only the Lonely". Make sure there are no sharp instruments around when you do listen to it. Of course, the song was written for him.
