As a present to myself, I scored some Mo-Fi albums today at really great prices. The DCD MFSL SACD's are getting pretty rare and to get them at a decent price was pleasing. I can't wait to compare the MFSL of Into the Labyrinth to the CD I recently acquired.

Just finished listening to my newly acquired NM- copy of Roxy Music-Avalon. It's an EU pressed copy from Simply Vinyl and whisper quiet. NM- is a pretty aggressive rating for used vinyl, but man...he was spot on. It's got dynamics and space coming out of my ...well, you know what! Very happy with this addition! :D
 
Picked up these 2 LP's today. Hope to have a listen to them a little later.
The Donald Fagan is a new release.
The Eric Clapton Reptile is going back in time, but it's a sealed copy.

Love Roxy Music. Brian Ferry, as a person, not so much.
 
I can't make you love me SCORE!!! [...at least I hope...]

Well, don't laugh too hard but I do just so happen like Country music as well and after hearing this song for what seems like the hundredth time on the radio? I decided to buy the CD for one song and one song only. ? I can't make you love me ? by Bonnie Raitt. I have always admired this song and when I put it into the rig and hit play, I was floored by the amount of musical content of that song that I never realized was there. Man, did I ever hear some serious potential with this recording.

So, I just emptied my audio piggy bank more for one song than I ever have in my life just to hear the best attainable playback possible. I was able to snag the Luck of the Draw album on an out of print DCC 24-Karat Gold CD that just so happens to be sealed.

:) :) :)

Now I'm just praying that DCC can deliver the way I'm hoping they can. What a beautiful song.....even those audiophiles who don't like Country music would truly appreciate the musical artistry of this song.

Just got the Love "Forever Changes" 180 gm LP from my local indie music store. It was a Record Store Day release. Great!

Furtwangler Beethoven Symphonies 1-9...from Tahra or Audite...by every account i could find (plus listening to mp3 on headfone for sanity check)...the best historical remastering jobs of these WWII and early '50s live recordings of his masterful conducting. I have enjoyed Karajan '63 Remastered for some time now...and i have to admit to being absolutely blown away by how much more i feel like Furtwangler (for me) interpreted every line/note/phrase of these magnificent symphonies. It is like listening to elements which remain forgotten on other renditions that suddenly make sense and are critical phrases of the music.

I am very excited...just ordered and look forward to listening...quite a few seem like they should feel like good quality '60s recordings so generally quite good, perhaps all of them. Quite a few other companies remaster these and they sound like they came from a 1940's table radio...the audiophile in me cannot stand it, despite being captivated by the musical expression/interpretation.

I was a huge Bonny Raitt fan back in the days of 'Give it Up.' If there is one song of hers that is absolutely timeless, and worth owning, out of all of her work, it is 'Angel from Montgomery.' (which, if memory serves, is not on that album, but on the third or fourth album, sorry it's been awhile).
She is somebody who has done an enormous amount for old-time blues musicians through various initiatives.
 
The Allman Brothers Band - Idlewild South - MFSL 1-301 (Serial #003919)

Haven't listened to this in years....should be a fun ride!
 
Oh, I'm on a roll I guess :). I just ordered what I would consider a "must have" in any musical library. David Gilmore, Live in Gdansk. A 5 LP 180g boxset.
415Ftrxa8PL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

I had the pleasure of listening to this many moons ago on a freshly opened and properly cleaned LP on my rig at an audio event a couple of years back. While I just rec'd the CD/DVD set? As I listen to it now, even with much time passing by, the LP simply sounded better. It's not like I'm not enjoying the CD but the LP of this concert offered more to these ears. Figured that I'd better get it before the prices go sky high and I am sooooooo looking forward to experiencing the LP once again.

Let the good times roll....

Congrats Tom! What an absolutely terrific set this is on vinyl, and it's one of my favourites! I would encourage anyone with in an interest in live recordings and Pink Floyd to get this. As you now it's now OOP, but copies are still around at a reasonable price. Was even thinking of picking up a second copy and keeping it sealed.
 
Gary...is that an original pressing???

(Must not be jealous, must not be jealous...)
 
Gary,
I've only watched the preview...We missed it in the theater but I think it's in our Netflix queue.
