Back to swooning over Sade's "Promise," especially "Is It A Crime," "War Of The Hearts" and "Mr. Wrong." Great music and amazing sonics for a big, studio pop album.
Also, Bonnie Raitt, "Nick Of Time" on the original vinyl release - "Cry On My Shoulder" is mesmerizing.

For sure I am not playing any recent 45's redo's of same old stuff, it's just a cynical attitude of some in the Remastering Industry to vaste more of the foreign oil and my and your money. A culture cannot be converted into obsession with impunity - when we set out to describe a sound of things musical, we have thus defined the nature of apathy towards the essence of humanity, as all music is politically suspect (Plato).
In modern times we can prove this by having no high fidelity recordings of the sounds of the Omaha Beach, the battle of Stalingrad, even the Hitler's speeches are recorded somewhat lacking in bass, not to mention them being plagued with a lot of grunge. Do we need re-mastering there ? Where are those Master tapes ?
Wait, there's more....
Well Cheers

Just received "Can't Buy a Thrill" by Steely Dan. Ordered the 180g LP from Soundstagedirect.com. On my turntable tonight. If you're a Steely Dan fan, then this album is a must purchase. The quality of the recording is excellent and I received it very quickly. Great album! Highly recommended.

You know I bought a VPI 17 and sold my VPI 16, and I must say it's much easier to clean records with this thing. Easier than I thought it would be, and there's a big difference in the records. The automatic wash wand obviously does a better job than I did manually.

Moody Blues - A Question of Balance. Haven't played this in I don't know how many years (probably decades). Not sure when I bought it. 1970 gatefold with lyric sheet and London Records sleeve. Great sonics. Nice bass. I don't listen exclusively to vinyl. Have plenty CDs. But sometimes you really have to wonder, "digital?" - what were they thinking?! Get a lot of pleasure playing a medium from almost 40 yrs. ago.

Paul Berner Band: 'Road to Memphis'
beautiful laid back,jazz instrumental,Elvis Tribute.
If they would ever make a movie on Elvis focusing on the saga of a country boy becoming a king,this would be the soundtrack.
track 6 "the Colonel" always gives me goosebumps and ads a whole new dimension to the Elvis manager Colonel Parker.

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.

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:

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.

We've been doing some critical listening to a set of power cords loaned to us for audition. It's always a challenge deciding on a few recordings to use. Our practice for doing this is 1) to listen critically to a selected few cuts on our system as it exists, 2) swap gear and burn in the new gear for the requisite period of time, 3) listen critically to those same selected few cuts and note what we hear, 4) switch back to our original gear, burn in again, then listen critically one more time. By the time we do this, we have a very good handle on what we're hearing. And, we always find that we've heard the same things when we compare our listening notes.
So, here's the recent selected few cuts for this adventure:
Klimo Open Window OW 002, Music for Barque Violin and Harpsichord: Uccelini: Son II. Son e Correnti, op4 / Banchini and Darmstadt
Groove Note GRV 1043 -45rpm, Dvorak Piano Trio No. 3: Finale / Jung Trio
RCA LSC 2183 -45rpm Classic Records, Ravel, Rapsodie Espagnole: Habanera / Reiner/LSO
S&P Records SNP 501, Eva Cassidy, Songbird: Fields of Gold
So, why this set of recordings? All are acoustic, and all are very realistically and naturally reproduced capturing well the distinctive timbre of the instruments involved. Each brings a different combination of instruments and acoustic environments. And, we know these recordings very well through many years of listening.

For Albertporter or any other Crimson fan, most of my KC recordings are very poor. Steve Wilson and Robert Fripp are reissuing the KC catalogue from Robert Fripp's original master tapes both digitally and on vinyl. The recordings are superb, although they are not cheap, especially when you add shipping from England. They are available on "The Burning Shed" website.
