Best POP audiophile recording/album...

Albert, I am jealous, you found Goldfrapp on LP? Did you get it straight from UK? I have trolled Ebay for a while and never seen one available.

Yes, I own all three Goldfrapp LP's, British pressings, try Amazon UK.

The last time I visited the site they were still showing as available. All three LP's are wonderful and Alison Goldfrapp is extremely cute, (very tiny) little blonde headed girl with an angel voice. I enjoy looking at the LP art almost as much as the music :^).

Anything by Tom Petty ( a fanatic about sound quality )
INXS ( also fanatical about sound)
Simple Minds (again fanatical about sound quality)
Mark Knopfler ( of course who else woudl be fanatical - the first CD no less - Bro's in Arms)
Susan Vega ( absolutely great sound )
Robbie Williams ( again a fanatic about sound quality )
Dixie Chicks (I don't care for 'em but again great sound quality)
Enya
Kate Bush
Lou Reed
Stevie Wonder
Peter Gabriel
Tina Turner
Toto

No need to mention which speakers were used in the recording/mastering process...

Just dug out and dusted down Supertramp cd-Breakfast in America. Superb.

My Captain &Tennille record sounds fantastic on my new system.
"Love Will Keep Us Together" has never sounded SOOO good,the Captain's organ is IN the room and Tennille(gotta luv'er) is RIGHT THERE.
Makes it all worth it.
