Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,

Check out these three audiophile albums on the small dutch label Sound Liaison.
Carmen Gomes inc. 'Torn'..best Blues ballad album ever.
Poul Berner Band 'Road to Memphis'.. beautifully told Elvis Presley "saga"
and Carmen Gomes inc. 'Thousand Shades of Blue'..intimacy, the band is so well recorded that you can practically reach out and touch them,and there's an absolutely haunting version of Bruce Springsteen's I'm on Fire.

Not the best recording, but I love King Crimson, "Discipline" from early 80s.

Heard it in my car and had to go home and play the LP.
SON VOLT - Honky Tonk [Rounder 11661-9145-1]

Albertporter, nice one love when that happens
this is a great thread...I am just starting to discover Jazz at an old age...wow...I have jumped in with both feet and have purchased a hundred albums and cd's over the last month. Digging in to late forties to early sixties styles so far.

So tonight it will be:

Original Columbia copy of The Jazz Messengers Hard Bop.

Mulligan meets Monk

The Blue Note Re-Issue Series Freddie Hubbard first spin of this LP
Johhny Griffin, A Blowing Session, Blue Note 1559 (Music Matters 45 rpm reissue) with Lee Moran, Hank Mobley, John Coltrane, Wynton Kelly, Paul Cambers and Art Blakey. What a fantastic line up!

Dexter Gordon, A Swingin' Affair, Blue Note ST-84133 (Music Matters 45 rpm reissue). Another outstanding LP and reissue.

Ravel, Rapsodie Espagnole, Reiner/CSO, RCA LSC 2183 (Classic Records 45 rpm reissue). One of the great orchestral recordings and performances, in fantastic sound quality. If you've heard and discounted the 33 rpm reissues from Classic Records, I don't blame you. But the 45 rpm reissues are entirely different and far better. Bernie Grundman had changed his mastering chain by the time he started mastering these 45s and the vast improvements in naturalness and timbral balance are immediately apparent.
