    Been WAY too long. GREAT music. I really, really can't see why they're not more popular.

    Very well could be my all time favorite CD.

    I'm not a big EC fan, but this one has always been highly listenable. SV did a really nice job with it.

    What's up BlueMDPicker?

    Listening to SACD of Rebecca Pidgeon, Spanish Harlem off "The world's greatest Audiophile Vocal Recordings" The song has grown on me and the recording is fantastic........

    Up next, SACD of Godsmack, "The Other Side".

    As soon as the IC's I just purchased gets here, I'll be turning myself back onto vinyl in my rig. Ten years and many moons have passed since I have had vinyl on my rig, then I'll be listening to a stack of records taller than me. Can't wait!

    Somewhere in the record collection is a six or seven LP set by the group Chicago. On one of the records there was a drum solo that I have been wanting to hear again for the first time [again] since I was popping zits.

    "I'm a Man!" I believe had a long percussion riff.

    Hi treitz3! Like you, I have well over 2000 LPs I collected over 40+ years. Probably 80% were only played once to make a cassette tape. I'm glad I resisted the urge to get rid of them because I've heard nothing out there with the dynamics and realism--except maybe R2R (which I also have a ton of. :) )

    Jerry Lee Lewis - S/T
    1979, Electra 6E-184, LP to CD conversion

    If you like rock, blues or country, you've got to be on board with "The Killer". This album, to my knowledge, has never been reissued on CD. A friend made an excellent conversion for me.

    Elton John - Honky Chateau Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs Ed


    114265.jpg


    By the time Elton John went to France to cut HONKY CHATEAU in 1972, he had already become the first act since the Beatles to land four albums in the American Top 10 simultaneously. Up to that point, John had performed in a trio rounded out by bassist Dee Murray and drummer Nigel Olsson. The addition of guitarist Davey Johnstone on HONKY CHATEAU added another dimension to the overall sound. The results were successful, as the nonsensical "Honky Cat" and the Bowie-inspired "Rocket Man" became John's first Top 10 hits since the release of "Your Song" two years prior. John and co. reined in the lengthy, moody excesses of MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER, turning in a highly focused collection of beautifully crafted pop. The rollicking "I Think I'm Gonna Kill Myself," the sassy "Susie (Dramas)," and the stirring "Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters" are all standouts. The John/Bernie Taupin partnership also yielded a number of songs with vivid imagery, including the Civil War-era American South of "Slave" and a front-row pew before a gospel choir in the inspirational "Salvation." Pound for pound, HONKY CHATEAU may be one the strongest, most consistent, and most pleasurable records in the mammoth John discography.

    Good stuff here. Hercules sounds great on SDA's.
    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!

    Jimi Hendrix - Moods
    1974, Trip TLP-9512, LP

    Mostly instrumental outtakes and jams, but a different vibe from most of the commercial releases before his death.
