Dylan - Blond on Blond - 45 rpm reissue from MFSL. I'm impressed with the sonics of this reissue. I'd been hearing a fair number of negative comments, but in my system and to my ears this is a terrific release.
Roy Gaines - I got the T-Bone Walker Blues - if you love the blues, you'll love this release by Roy Gaines from Groove Note Records. Four sides of 45 rpm goodness.
Poulenc - Gloria | Concerto for Organ, Strings and Timpani - Pretre/French National Radio Orchestra, Rosanna Carteri-soprano, Maurice Durufle-organist - EMI ASD 2835 - my favorite recording of both the Gloria and the Organ Concerto. Pretre captures this music superbly. Perhaps not the greatest recording sonically (a demonstrate disc when recorded in 1961 but not up to the best-of-the-best standards for today), but the EMI engineering is still very acceptable. Play it and fall in love with the huge French organ of Saint Etienne du Mont and the playing of Durufle.
