| Neil Young goes Blu Ray think it will catch on? Hey Azmoon. He got on thin ice with me with his 80s output. Trans. Re-act-or. Everybody's Rockin'. Landing On Water.I admire any artist who experiments with with new sounds and technologies, but these were phoned in.He has always had a tendency to... | |
| Neil Young goes Blu Ray think it will catch on? IT would seem to me that BluRay has to be the successor format. Goodbye, DVD-A and SACD. It's already won the format war with HD-DVD and it has all the resolution anyone could ever need. When it comes to the extras, I'm old-fashioned though. I sti... | |
| The Tubes I was going to say, Prairie Prince would be sad to hear that he has died. He's making custom drums, selling his art and photography and still drumming on occasion. He's a North Carolina native (Charlotte), but grew up in Phoenix. Original member o... | |
| The most haunting music you ever heard? You want haunting, even transporting. Find the original 1970 Exuma LP. Transcendent. | |
| choice of ref pre amps C-J Act 2, hands down. | |
| Snakes and Arrows on Vinyl Hey Zigonht. I let one wife leave to keep the vinyl already. I'm just sayin'. | |
| Good Country recordings The country/rock is pretty-well covered in the other thread. But I also like some of the Jesse Winchester and early Jesse Colin Young. Keeping on the Jess(i/e) theme, I just picked up a Jessi Colter album this weekend from the mid to late 1970s ca... | |
| Amy Winehouse LP Sound Quality The CD sounds fine. The LP sounds awful. And I love the music. It has nothing to do with AMy, Onhwy61. I just think people should save the $6 and go with the CD version on this one. | |
| Fleetwood Mac Rumours reissue I've got the original CD release from 1986 and the new remaster. They sound different but neither is terribly good. Both are too bright.Buy 5 or 6 NM copies of the original WB release on vinyl (they're everywhere!) and play them all in a listening... | |
| Mapleshade recordings I don't get the Mapleshade attraction. Good recordings of artists that no one has ever heard of. Is that what this hobby is about? I thought it was about the music. Silly me! | |
| Amy Winehouse LP Sound Quality I bought it from Elusive Disc and was so excited when it arrived. That excitement did not last. It sounded absolutely flat. The worst new album I've bought in the last year. | |
| Was just Listening to Dan Fogelberg... IT is interesting to see Dan Fogelberg being re-evaluated. He'd been pretty much thrown to the scrap heap for what many considered to be schmaltzy saccharin pop. I too have come across some great copies of most of his 70s albums recently which I a... | |
| Audiogon "Recordings to Die for" a complete summary One of the best stock pressings I have every heard is the original ATCO release "Trafalgar" from the Bee Gees. Brilliantly recorded and pressed. If you can find it NM, grab it. If you don't like the Bee Gees, you may find you do a little and the s... | |
| Canadian Pressings. I just listened to a Canadian pressing of Don Henly's "Building the Perfect Beast" and it was unlistenable. Is the US version as bad? Maybe it's just a bad mastering job. Or a dud pressing. | |
| Best sounding LP nobody else has ever heard of... There are so many great recordings from the late 1950s and early 1960s. One that I just found in shockingly NM condition and played and was blown away by was "Blazing Latin Brass" by Nick Perito and his Orchestra on United Artists (WWS-8502). Its ... |
