What is new in my music library? (recent purchases I enjoy)

[LL21]

Invincible - epic music - soundtrack-like
Piano Guys 2 - cello and piano, charming and lyrical combination of classical composition with modern wit
Tunnel of Love - Japanese remaster of LP...supposedly a bit nicer sounding version

 

[Johnny Vinyl]

Finally received ECM's Steve Reich - Music for 18 Musicians. Only took a little over 2 weeks . No other digital purchases though.

Have Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road coming from Speakers Corner on vinyl, and also Keb' Mo' - S/T Debut from Pure Pleasure on vinyl. Should be here tomorrow or Saturday.

Tunnel of Love - Japanese remaster of LP...supposedly a bit nicer sounding version

Tunnel of Love LP by Dire Straits or another artist? I'm a bit confused if it's by Dire Straits because Tunnel of Love was a track on the Making Movies album and as far as I know was released only as a 7"; http://www.discogs.com/Dire-Straits-Tunnel-Of-Love/release/419090

Bruce Springsteen. His regular CDs are great music but some of the worst imho in my collection of music in terms of compression and 'unlistenability'. I have come across recommendations recently that the Japanese reissues from 2005 were quite good and am giving them a try on two albums...one I don't have anyway, and the other I really like...and just cannot stand listening to the original CD. and I own 1800 and don't say that about probably more than (well)...this one. maybe 2 or 3 others, but that's it.

Must be this one; http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=MHCP-734
Nice find since it's out of print! New or second hand? Just make sure that the OBI is still included if it's second hand.

Just ordered:
- Gould - Bach Goldberg Variations - State of Wonder version. Apparently the 1981 Goldberg was the digital recording when they were just beginning to do digital recordings. The State of Wonder is a remaster that came from Sony discovering the analog recording of the performance and apparently preferring it.
- Gould - Japanese remaster of Well tempered Clavier I & II (Bach)
- Tureck, Goldberg Variations (remastered)
- Richter - Russian Melodiya Remaster Well Tempered Clavier (Book I)

As requested, coming back on the Japanese remasterings. Big success after so many tinny Bruce Springsteen CDs. Just got Tunnel of Love and first 2 tracks are really great. On a scale of 1-10, the originals were 3-4 (reserving 1-2 for historic recordings which are outright scratchy). This one seems more like a 7-7.5 so far. No its not FIM, but its darned good and extremely listenable from an audiophile perspective...and helped by the fact that its good music.

Great, I'm not surprised to hear that the SQ is better

Johnny,
Steve Reich - Music for 18 Musicians was recorded in 1976 - it is one of my oldest ECM LPs. Are you sure that your version is a digital LP?
