On vintage vinyl from 1968, whole LP is great.

That was pretty cool -- I'd never heard that before.

Thanks, Guildx. Don't know how I missed that. Guess I've just not been adequately conscientious about tending the garden of my mind. Maybe you can give me a hand identifying the beat, here:

Anybody else remember "Pandora's Box" on the Sunset Strip?
A couple buddies and I got tossed out of there one night in about 1965 because they realized we were only high school juniors:

Here's an odd duck from the '60s. Guitar part is pretty far off the beaten track for those times and that genre:

I know we're trying to keep things short and sweet -- sorry in advance. This is one of my favorite albums -- recorded back in the 80s in a large church in Toronto. It was recorded with a single stereo mic direct to a Betamax machine -- so the story goes. No mixing or post production tweaking -- what is on the original tape is whats on the album. With the exception of one song, the entire album was recorded in one day (the other, an a cappella tune, was recorded in the same venue with the same equipment a couple days later. I bought the CD back in the mid 90s and it's been in regular rotation ever since. I finally decided to break down and buy a 2017 LP version which is a remaster by the band and the original engineer of the original tapes. It showed up a couple days ago and I've listened to it a few times and compared it to the CD version. It's a double LP set -- the packaging is top notch, the records are in premium sleeves, and the gatefold cover was in perfect condition. I didn't do a deep clean on the records -- just a quick treatment with the Discwasher and a couple passes with the carbon fiber brush. Both LPs were flawless -- not a single pop, click, or crackle. I listened to both LPs in one sitting. I knew right away that I preferred it to the CD -- but I wasn't really sure why. Further listening against the CD revealed something that I had not really noted before. There was sibilance on the CD, particularly with Margo Timmin's voice, that is not apparent on the LP. Now that I know it's there it's become distracting to me. With the CD I felt like I was watching the band on a small stage in front of me. With the LP I felt like I was sitting on the floor right next to the musicians. The sound of the venue was much more apparent on the LP. The acoustics in the form of reverb was more apparent on the record -- again most notably with Margo's voice. There were many instances where her voice ended in silence but you could hear the decay. It really is an amazing accomplishment. This is the 2017 remaster from Music on Vinyl -- the best 33 bucks I've spent in a long time. Below is a song from the original CD -- I couldn't find anything from the remaster.

Big Cowboy Junkies fan.
My favourite album from the early nineties Is The Caution Horses. Very much a studio album but I love it.
I still listen to the original CD. It may be time to look for a re-mastered version.

Rickie at her finest. Great blend of vocals with horns. Of course I can only decipher maybe 8% of her lyric, lol.

Diana Krall, The Girl in the Other Room. CD. Having recently finished ripping our 800 CDs to a Brennan B2, I was embarrassed to realise I didn't own any albums by some of my favourite artists, so I've been buying some more. I never expected that to happen, fully expecting new music would only be streamed. Of course, the new CDs are going straight on the B2 for easy playback.

I started digitizing some of my old vinyl records that I had never bought the CD's for. I started alphabetically and got to the album Straight Up by Badfinger. I love this album. Produced by George Harrison and Todd Rundgren. Every song on it is really good. They did The Beatles thing almost as good as The Beatles. I like this one particularly. It's titled "Sometimes". Kind of an "I Feel Fine" vibe but different.

Not too bad for 1970: I was thinking that they sound a little derivative at times but then realized that they may actually pre-date some of the bands they appear to be emulating.
There certainly were worse bands at the time that "made it" to one degree or another.
I guess they didn't.
