Viva la Vinyl!!


Hey fellow vinylphiles! How about some feedback on any new vinyl discoveries, particularly on the fairly regular stream of reissues. Any real gems? Any dogs to avoid? None of us want to drop 25-30 bucks on a 180 gram slab 'o' vinyl only to discover something better heard on CD (OK you CD diehards, no offense - I listen to the silver discs too, just not NEARLY as often) Anyway, let's hear it for the continuing vinyl renaissance!

I just got a copy of the new Jimi Hendrix LP Axis..Bold As Love on Classic reissue label. It is a MONO recording, and the sound is INCREDIBLE. This is a winner! Here are a few other sonic masterpieces that I have: * Kind Of Blue-Miles Davis... Classic Records * Sarah McLachlin-Surfacing... Classic Records * Santana-Abraxas...ARS [German Reissue Label] These are just a few. Many of the older Mobile Fidelity reissues sound great, such as Supertramp-Crime of the Century. These are the ones on Japanese PURE vinyl that were mastered by Stan Ricker. There is a lot of great sounding LPs out there. Enjoy!
Try the 2 albums by Jacintha on Groove Note. Bonus with each is a 45 rpm recording of 4 songs. I have one of them, which has "Here's to Love" and "Autumn Leaves". Great recordings of a really nice singer. The other LP, which I don't have, has a recording of "The Look of Love", which I have not heard. Supposedly very nice (per a review I read).
ANYTHING by Classic Records is great, and their 45 RPM limited stuff is un real! Miles Davis Kinda Blue for sure. Learning that Dead can dance, Yellow, and Bjork is great stuff. Anything done By Roger Waters also.\ Peace, soundnught
