Whats on your turntable tonight?

Your post @no_regrets , reminds me so much of why some prefer originals to reissues.

Just listened to a newly acquired John Lee Hooker lp on King last night. While I don't have a new pressing of that title to compare, I do have the Classic Records "The Healer" and a pp as well.

Chuck Prophet "Bobby Fuller Died for my Sins" 

2017/yep roc

The Eagles - One of these Nights - Mofi One Step - I can't say I am a big Eagles guy but damn this record sounds fantastic! The vinyl is likely the most quiet I have heard. Completely dead silent and the SQ and soundstage are EXCELLENT

Bill Evans - Explorations - from the AP 45rpm box set - phenomenal

With the Tone Poet, it feels more laid back and reserved.

Interesting observation. I concur, but as you say, it’s still quite good. Very good. I’ve had the CD for years, so my only comparison. I have to wonder if these releases were closer to what Van Gelder captured directly on tape, and cut as that. I did find myself wanting to crank the volume to get ‘more’ out of it, and that did help.

Regardless, a stellar release.
