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!
Ccryder, You do have the Classic records 33 1/3 with a red label. It will state on the back cover at the bottom "Manufactured under license..." but will not say "Classic" anywhere on the record or cover. Canadian records on RCA/BMG were German pressed and had Black labels with silver nomenclature and state "BMG Canada" on the back. You’re in great shape with that pressing. Enjoy!
