    decided to listen on MOG because I don't have the deluxe version. Actually, I will probably never have the deluxe version since I just ordered this:

    You picked a good time to buy, gdpeck. That album [Little Feat, WFC on MFSL] has been just lately discontinued. Prices will only go up from here.

    I'm currently listening to something I'm sure many of you will laugh at and I can't believe I'm about to post this.....but it is, after all, what I'm listening too right now. Lots of good younger years [women, smoking, drinking, partying and mischief] memories from this album.

    Regarding the MFSL Waiting for Columbus, I put off buying it when it first came out, not realizing it was a limited release. So I'm glad I was reminded to get it before all of the "reasonably priced" copies were gone. I'm excited to have it, but even at the price I paid it's expensive for a red book CD. Especially considering I recently got two Allman Brothers Band 2-disc MFSL SACDs for about what I paid for the WFC red book.

    Regarding Dokken, I have some good memories of listening to them as well...

    Right now, I'm continuing with more Little Feat.

    Bluegrass Mandolin Extravaganza Acoustic Disc (1999) CD -> ALAC

    The humblest of beginnings can beget the best prizes, as is the case with this spectacular summit meeting of bluegrass mandolinists. The story goes like this: Ronnie McCoury, son of the great Del, is driving his father's 1954 GMC coach in the (where else?) Shenandoah Valley and has a minor epiphany, dreaming up what he describes as a "Bluegrass Mandolin 101." When he shares the idea with Acoustic Disc founder (and mandolin virtuoso) David Grisman, the project is off with a sprint. Next thing you know, there's eight great mandolin pickers--veterans Jesse McReynolds, Bobby Osborne, Frank Wakefield, and Buck White, and (relatively) younger maestros Sam Bush, Ricky Skaggs, McCoury, and Grisman, with Del McCoury on guitar--grabbing 34 tunes for their collective own. They open with a unison reading of "Blue Moon of Kentucky" that recalls how important mandolin ensemble music was in bridging the worlds of concert and popular music generations ago. Then the ensemble's off on a solo-rich ride, with fiddle tunes like "Old Joe Clark" offering everyone a moment in the picking light and Bill Monroe's "Roanoke" giving the session's two planners a chance to speed through in unison. Then there are banjo-tune adaptations like "The Cakewalk" and numerous episodes of influence, where you have Wakefield, one of Grisman's 1960s-era mentors, jamming on "Mexican Stomp." The pickers also get an opportunity to introduce many of the cuts with a short monologue on the tune's genesis and intent. As if that all weren't enough, the set also comes slipcased with a generously colorful booklet that breaks down each tune and features mini-essays on each soloist and lovely photos of their preferred mandolin. Far more than a simple anthology of trad-grass mandolin music, this is a lengthy paean to the instrument and its great practitioners. --Andrew Bartlett

    hochpt21: you must've received your albums from George. Hooker & Heat. Albert King. Some good stuff there. George still has some really good Savoy Brown available, I already have a good SB collection or I'd be all over it. Muddy Waters Hard Again is also an awesome album, produced by Johnny Winter, and JW plays on it as well. James Cotton might play harp on it too if my memory serves me. Maybe even Pinetop Perkins.

    This came a day early from Amazon. It's the CD, not vinyl. So far I've only briefly compared it to my old copy, which is the single CD release with missing songs. The MFSL copy is really nice. Everything is clearer and things (voices, drums) are much more distinct. The bass texture is amazing on the MFSL. I'm very pleased with the purchase!

    I'm still listening to the MFSL CD of Waiting for Columbus. It is much better than I even imagined. The original CD sounds nice in terms of extension. I'd say it has some dynamics, but it's just nice sounds in the speakers. The MFSL just comes alive. It has more presence and is more "in the room". Everything is more textured and actually seems out in space rather than coming from speakers. A couple of good examples are the organ parts in Spanish Moon. Kind of swirling in space and a little spooky, but very present. Also the vocal at the beginning of Mercenary Territory is so clear and legible. I hate to bust out the "hearing things I never heard" cliche, but I really couldn't make out the opening lyrics of Mercenary Territory, and truthfully I never cared to try. On the MFSL they were just right there.
