"The ideal is a composition in which poetic content is combined with perfection of construction... Music gets its eternal beauty from an ideal balance of emotion and intellect." — Andrzej Panufnik
Trinity Sessions/Cowboy Junkies RCA Red Label LP (with Blue Moon). Just got it yesterday via ebay. Wow, is it a great pressing of a great album.
Ccryder, This is not meant to "one up you" in any way yet, if you like the RCA copy, try the Classic Records 33 1/3 or 45 for the ultimate expression of this album. These versions will take your breath away and so will the prices. I own all three and can attest to the Classic 45ips being the best in that it has greater surface blackness and much more dynamics. Happy Listening!
R f - I almost bought the 45's here on A'gon for $115 (and have seen them for $200), but just couldn't bring myself to that price point. I can't imagine this sounding better, although I am sure you're telling the truth. It is a beautiful piece of music.
R f - the record I got on ebay was advertised as being a Classic pressing. Record label says RTH 8568, is RCA Red label, heavy vinyl, has Blue Moon on it. Jacket says BMG Entertainment. I am thrilled by the sound, but now I am curious about what I have. I suspect it's the Classic, but I'm no expert on how pressings are labled. Brief Google search seems to support the theory it's the Classic pressing, but not real clear. Can you shed any light on what I have? Many thanks!
