Stevie Ray Vaughan

I hate 45's, I must be lazy!

Several rooms at the recent Chicago AXPONA show were playing some "test pressings" from the new AP SRV 45RPM release, and I have to say that the sound was absolutely stunning! You could feel the vibration of Stevie's guitar strings and the dynamics of the drum kit were just amazing. The vinyl surfaces were also notably absent of noise. Given what I heard I expect that these will become a new reference for SRV fans. It was like he was back with us for the moment.

Wow cool Bill - guess I have to learn to like 45's - sounds like they are amazing.

there was a 6-lp set listed in the last Music Direct catalogue, but the 45 rpm set was 12 discs.

As deserved as praise and admiration for SRV is, it has always been puzzling to me that people in the US almost completely ignore Gary Moore whose playing, to me, was a few notches above SRV's, especially in the pain Gary was able to convey and the note sustain. Both amazing guitar players prematurely passing. Very sad indeed.
