Her version of Wild Horses is without a doubt my favorite rendition of this great song!

I learned of her some time ago through Roon. I wasn’t aware she was Norwegian until I found the link from Wikipedia

Just finished listening to  a rebroadcast of yesterday's  Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols from Kings College at Cambridge.



 A rebroadcast from the BBC.  Gotta love the way internet streaming has put the whole musical world at our fingertips.

Ronstadt makes another visit to the American Standards catalog but this time with a Smaller Big Band backing her as opposed to Nelson Riddle and his orchestra.

Jethro Tull - Aqualung



192/24 FLAC Classic Records Back-up Master

An interesting article comparing various vinyl releases of Aqualung.

https://thevinylpress.com/jethro-tull-aqualung-vinyl-shoot-out/

Unfortunately, it predates the release of the Analogue Productions 45 RPM UHQR pressing. I would have been interested in seeing how that stacked up against other versions.
