Audioquest recordings.......

> Mighty Sam McClain, Audioquest

I have this on CD...nice recording of gospel/blues...you will enjoy this for sure especially the sound quality.

Also Give it up to Love also by Sam McClain.

These are sometimes used as demo CD's by high-end Hi-Fi stores...guarenteed to turn heads and make people stop and listen. (as we all know great recordings really help to sell high end hi fi, which is why I ALWAYS use my own test CD's)

I don't know if the Vinyl is better as I have not heard it (obviously some on these forums will state that categorically it must be)...however 99% of quality comes from the studio miking/mix mastering, IMHO, ...so I expect the Vinyl is great too!

They are all well recorded, both the vinyl and CD versions are excellent. If you like the blues I really enjoy Doug MacLeod's albums.

PS--many of these you will find were re-released on other labels. Most notably JVC XRCD.

If you like the Blues Robert Lucas will not disapoint you. I have all of his recordings on CD and even some of the newer Canned Heat CD's where Robert is now a member and handles the vocals. Good stuff.

Wow I never knew how many there were, when I played the vinyl I posted about I recalled another album that had the same Center label but in a different color, turns out I have atleast another on vinyl I have "Kei Akagi, Mirror Puzzle"......both sound fantastic. I think I may give them to my father to play as he has a pile of money wraped up in his Mont Blanc and Sky cables.
As always thanks for the great info, Rives I talked to a rep at your company and some business may be in the works for my dads new consruction............cheers.
