Great CD!

 

Reflections of Spain - David Russell
Love this guy what a talent.

No more sad refrains - Sandy Denny

 

I finally bit the bullet and bought the Alison Krauss Live record, which is OOP. What a great performance! No wonder this thing is so well regarded. Live recordings are a joy when they are even decently recorded.

 

Before Elton John turned into an old lady (along with Paul McCartney), he rocked. Listening to the self-titled on an early DJames UK pressing. I forgot how good he was and how good this record in particular is. Take me to the Pilot.

Yes that first album is a gem in my book. Songs are a good mix.

Bill, are you talking about the out of print MFSL pressing? If so, I totally agree with you about the LP....it's crazy good, IMHO.
When it first came out, I raved about it, but to my surprise, many thought I was crazy as it is apparently a digital recording, not sure IF they would be so dismissive now.

Yep, i forgot how good it was. I think it is the first album for us in US, but may be his second album if memory serves, in UK market.

Yep, and i know I can tell by the traces of high frequency brightness, but given how much can and usually does go wrong with live recordings, it really is top notch sonically too. Her performances are wonderful. I have got to catch her live.

 

I just fired up my "RL' pressing of Zep II. I cleaned it using the Audio Desk. It sounds even better than it did before. Even though this isn't my favorite Zep album (the first one is), there's a whole lot to love about this record. And the 'RL' just kicks ass. Unfortunately, mint ones are as rare as unicorns.

I've always loved it but many claim it's the worst record they put out.

My experience with some fans of the Doors is that they pick some of the very worst Doors songs as being something special. Songs like Wild Child and Back Door Man seem to get more radio play than Runnin' Blue or Wishful Sinful, two songs that I rank among their best. I think that L.A. Woman is not nearly as good as The Soft Parade.
