The Art of Pablo Casals     on RCA  shaded dog from  1964.  This is a compilation of short pieces Casals recorded in 1926-1928 from the vaults of Radio Corporation of America.  Soulful playing if limited by the recording methods of the day.

Roger Waters: US & Them, Hyde Park London July 6, 2018



Columbia 2 CD Set

Well this is the most disappoint recording I have bought in a long time. It is  pressed manufactured CDs on a professionally printed Digpak with Columbia Records logos and copyrights all over it. So I assumed it was an officially released commercial recording. WRONG!

This is a bootlegged audience recording, and not even a very good one at that. It captures the event OK but with mediocre SQ at best. It made my main system sound like a cheap clock radio.

And in my house there aren't many things that are a bigger no-no than bad sounding Pink Floyd.

I had to play some of this, if for nothing else but to clean the aural sh#t out of my ears from that last CD.

I must 20 different Brubeck albums, but I don't have that one.  How does it compare?

The Beatles: Abbey Road Super Deluxe Edition (2019 Remix)



Qobuz 96/24 Streaming

When I listened to this with my son we both liked the new mix bit he felts some of the instruments felt had and somewhat artificial when compared to the MoFi vinyl.

But since I liked the mix, so last time I was at Mr. Cheapo's I took the opportunity to grab the 180g LP (which was pressed at Chad Kassem's QRP plant).

This now marries the best of both worlds. The new LP has the natural sound of the MoFi along with the clarity and improved soundstaging of the new remix.   :thumb:

If you like Abbey Road the new LP is definitely worth picking up.
