I agree Flez, that whole album is great, I think I'll spin that one here in a few minutes, I'm just enjoying the system today with no plans on going out anywhere, got about 10 inches of snow yesterday with drifts over 2 feet and its 10 degrees out there. I think I'll just light the fireplace and enjoy some tunes.

Fernando, Love over Gold is really a phenom LP. I have thought it to be of reference quality from the
first release days.
Right now I am listening to some of the Opus 3 LP's... Test Record 1--Depth of Image, Test Record 2- Timbre and Maytan and Friends.
If you don't know these, the 1st track on 'Depth of Image' called Tiden Bara Gar is IMHO one of the best sounding tracks ever laid to vinyl.
They are not kidding when they call this LP 'Depth of Image'....
All of the Opus 3 LP's are amazing... I have used them as reference pressings for many years. Usually if someone hasn't heard them, they typically drop their jaw to the floor once they hear the 1st track.

Hi Dave - I do have those Opus records but nor sure if all in vinyl, many years ago I found them quite boring and stored them way down in my rack - but I can give them a try, it is incredible that with many of those stored records one can find true treasures again.
Thanks for the heads-up.

Gary - I love Pink Martini but was unaware of this particular one - I will look for it right away!

There were two LPs that really stood out last night: the 45 RPM reissue of Herbie Hancock” Maiden Voyage” and the M&K Direct to Disc “For Duke.” First of all, I want to say thanks to whoever it was on this forum that recommended the Maiden Voyage LP. It is truly outstanding in the both the quality of the playing and the quality of the recording. When you think that Maiden Voyage was recorded in 1965, it makes you sad when you think about most of today’s “modern” recordings. Modern day recording engineers should hang their heads in shame and get on their knees and beg forgiveness for all of the dirt roads they have driven us down. Another LP that should be a wake-up call to where we have gone so wrong is Sonny Rollins “Way Out West.” Wasn’t that recorded in 1957? That LP is scary good sounding.
If you are lucky enough to own the D2D LP “For Duke,” you are rewarded by a very realistic live recording. On the cut “Take the “A” Train,” when that cornet comes in, if you don’t involuntarily blink, something is amiss with your system. That cornet cuts through the air just like it would in real life if you were standing right next to it. In fact, when it comes in, you could almost swear he was in the room blowing that horn it sounds so real and that my friends is a hard feat to pull off.

I brought out a BB King recording the other day that I hadn't played in years. It has seen slightly better days, so I am now officially on the hunt for another copy, but what a pleasure it was to hear again.
