I'm cetainly not an audiophile but really enjoyed watching this video and learning what makes various pressings wonderful. Quite a selection you have there. Thank you for sharing.

Another wonderful video with great information…truly enjoy your positivity.

Hi Melinda, great video! 👍 Since discovering your Channel last month, I've been really enjoying your content! So, just periodically working through all your previous videos! 😊👍

Great choices!

Good Morning 🌞 Melinda - Surrealistic Pillow is one of my all time favorite albums & I love the original master recording pressing. The Marty Balin tracks Today & Coming Back To Me are my favorites. I love the " echo " on the album. Have a wonderful day 😊

Great job on the video really cool records thanks for being you"😊 hope you have a wonderful and amazing week. 😊👍👍💯

Ooh thank you for walking us through your fav audiophile records, love the variety including classical. I took a jazz history class Yusef Lateef in 2001 at UMass Amherst. I wish I knew then how great of a musician he was.

Great list!

My favorites are definitely all my Tone poets, but I do have the 50th anniversary of CSNY Deja Vu ($100.00 version), it blows me away every time I play it. It is my reference record. Great video as always!

What an awesome group of records, your collection is amazing, I bet your home is filled with beautiful music. Have a great week, Peace.

I have to agree with some of the comments I love my original pressings which I enjoy playing when I can! And yes the clicks and pops strangley bring back memories ! My dad who passed at a young age had a love of classical music and Pink floyd!! He got me into classical through his vinyl collection!! Another great video Melinda!! Cannot go wrong with your choices!!

You are a lady of taste Melinda! Some beautiful records there Great feature

Hotel California is amazing, One Of These Nights, also amazing. UHQR Miles Davis.....amazing. Excellent vlog, aloha

I really enjoy your vinyl reviews! Love from The Hague in the Netherlands!

I agree with you on the jazz albums. Blue note is knocking it out of the park with their quality pressing. One of my favorite label

just bought a new turntable - i love jazz, and your channel

Melinda magnificent great albums you picked I luck up on the Craft Yusef Lateef and when I got it it blew me away it’s mastered so perfectly. I agree with you about the Pink Floyd Dark side the 30th Anniversary is my go to always for that album .

I have the Analog Productions 45 rpm pressings of all of The Doors records a while back. Glad I got that out of the way! I'm a fan of Anne Sophie Mutter so it's nice to see Deutsche Grammophon selling vinyl. Thanks! Fall has arrived. There's that unmistakable chill in the air.

Awesome records Melinda. The Doors LA woman is one of my favorite albums. And I only have it on a cassette I brought in 1992. I'll have to buy a vinyl LA Woman one day. Thanks for the video Melinda.

I like your description of how to enjoy the Dean Martin record. That made me want to listen to it. Band on the Run and Surfer Girl have to sound amazing I bet. Even my copies sound good so I can only imagine how wonderful your copies sound. Oh man I bet “The Last Resort “ sounds amazing on that version of Hotel California. Ha! Look at you making that joke before showing Blood, Sweat, and Tears! Good one👍. The lighter side of Melinda. You are the second person I watched today in the VC who was wearing a jean jacket. I think I need to dig mine out 😁 Wonderful video Melinda that makes me want to listen to some of these and be on the lookout for if any of these drop in price. Have a great week!

Absolutely agree with you on “The Witch Doctor” that one blows me away and love the hot drums that are just off the chain

Thanks for sharing your favs. I have a few of them and heartily agree with you. I freaking LOVE the Blood Sweat & Tears one-step. Like you, I’ve been fond of the music since early childhood, and the music really does hold up beautifully. (Ditto for Suite Judy Blue Eyes and Beginnings). The one step version sounds incredible. To any of your subscribers looking to build their audiophile classical collection, I would recommend the RCA Living Stereo titles reissued by Analogue Productions and pressed by QRP. They cost $40 for a 33rpm LP and sound stunningly beautiful, despite being recorded in the late 50s. For now, there are about 40-50 titles in stock. The Deutsche Grammaphone Original Source Series you mentioned are pressed in limited quantities and sell out after a couple months. I think the RCAs sound better, too. Thanks for another great video!!

Nice picks! I literally just finished listening to Blood Sweat and Tears. Love that album! I have the original 2 eye first pressing 💪🏻

Hello Melinda! It is great fun to see your diversity in music appreciation. Classical music is very underrated. I’ve got a dozen+ of my favourites on vinyl. They’re not audiophile records but the pressing are from the late 50’s to mid 80’s and are really well done : Pachelbel - Canon and gigue Tchaikovsky-Piano concerto No 1 Barber - Adiago for strings Bach - Air Debussy - Clair de lune Chopin - Nocturne No 9 Grieg - Morning Tchaikovski - Swan lake Strauss - Blue danube Holst - The planets Ravel - String quartet M35 Wagner - Die valkyrie Vivaldi - Four seasons Beethoven - Ode to joy I can think of 5-10 more that I would want to own , but one step at a time , ladies and gentlemen , please. Take care. /R (A at work)

Love that art Blakey good choice Melinda

I enjoyed your video, as usual. I have the Speakers Corer of Toto 4 but I've not played it yet. Some of your other titles I'm not familiar with. I will do my diligence to see what I like. Once again nice video.

My gosh Melinda , i just had to chime in bout the Dean Martin record you presented ...... such a cool recording - sounds incredible . I,m a big " Dinno " fan for life ( Movie s / television and of course Deans music Thanx Melinda , Luv this channel , your the best ! 😊💯

Melinda, Thanks for the "Band on the run" version recommendation. Didn't know this pressing before and just bought it in NM condition. Killer sounding version🙂

Melinda, thanks for this wonderful video. Among the records you mentioned I have the UHQR of "Kind of Blue"; the limited-edition (1000 copies) of Yusef Lateef's "Eastern sounds" (I have no idea how I lucked out on getting that, but I did!); the one-step of Carol King's "Tapestry"; and the one-step of "Blood Sweat and Tears." What will strike you as strange is that I have not yet listened to any of them! At first I told myself, after I bought each of them, that I was waiting to get a better turntable (with cartridge and phono amp) and integrated amplifier. Well, I've done those things. So now I'm waiting for the weather to get milder so that I can listen to a whole record without the air conditioner or the heater coming on. I saw Blood Sweat and Tears perform the music from this album at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, in the summer of 1969, when I was sixteen years old. It's an amphitheater venue with a large roofed area near the stage, and an unroofed area on a rising hillside, which is where I sat with my older sister and her fiancé, under the evening sky. I was amazed that the sound was just as good as it was on the album. That was a memorable experience. Just a side note, you said that you love the 70s sound of "Blood Sweat and Tears," but the album is actually from 1968.

I have mostly First Pressings of the LPs you mentioned which were mastered by greats like George Marino, Bernie Grundman and the engineers at Columbia, Atantic, Capitol, Parlophone, Decca and RCA Victor so I was never attracted to the expensive MoFis and One Steps etcetera - I am attracted to the box sets of Blood Sweat and Tears, Pink Floyd & The Eagles - those look like they're worth the price to me - as usual Melinda you entertain all of us with your impeccable knowledge - your down-to-earth manners and your awesome beauty❤- See You Next Week!

Very good list, Melinda. On AP, Time Out and Getz Gilberto both in 45 are sublime, worth checking. And in jazz, never to late to take the leap of fate and try MMJ

As for my choice of Audiophile recordings.. of the ones Ive listened to: Wayne Shorter’s ETC (Tone Poet). Side 2 is just an amazing ride. The drums.. the mesmerizing sax. Stunning.

I only have 3 Mo-Fi records, Miles Davis On The Corner, Beatles "White Album" and just recently picked up Beatles Abbey Road. Love all 3. One 3 record set I can think of that is not labeled as audiophile but sure sounds like it is Frank Zappa's Joe's Garage Act I, II and III. Both the originals (single and double LPs) on Zappa records or the mid 80's box set on Barking Pumpkin records sound fantastic. My German KISS Music from The Elder Half- Speed master is pretty killer too. I have the Creatures Half-Speed but I haven't opened it yet! Great video and take care!

Some of my fav audiophile copies are a quiex Neil Young's Prairie Wind. Much like the legend of Zeppelin 2 Ludwig pressing, it will skip the needle on lesser set ups, the bass lives large on Prairie Wind and the songs are magic. I also quite enjoy all of my Analog Production CCR titles. I think I picked my favorite 3 but in hindsight, I probably should have gotten them all. Those are the standouts. My copy of the Reservoir Dogs soundtrack also stands out for just how absolutely dead quiet it is between tracks, although I don't know offhand the exact pressing. I thoroughly enjoyed this one Melinda, nice work and nice choices. I'll be searching out the viability vs personal desirability ratio on at least a few of your picks. Cheers!

Great selections! Band on the Run on CBS Mastersounds was a good surprise. I'll have to get that one. I don't know if I could list off my top audiophile LPs. Too many to narrow it down to a few, but I do wish I had the BS&T set. I know that's got to be awesome! Cheers.

Mofi’s aren’t really my thing (they’re not readily available in the UK) but I love your take on them & enjoy your videos a great deal. Keep doing what you’re doing!

Good Melinda all was good

Great video Melinda! That AP Beach Boys Mono Surfer Girl is mind blowing. I Totally agree that the 30th Anniversary Dark Side of the Moon is Absolutely incredible too! It Definitely beats the current Grundman pressing by a landslide! That pressing of The Cars beats the crap out of All previous pressings! And I Have done the A/B comparisons with Mofi and the OG. This Rhino HiFi wins hands down. When picking my favorite “audiophile” pressings I’d have to say All of my Analog Productions albums (especially Beach Boys and Buddy Holly) and Pink Floyd Dark Side 30th anniversary. Hard to choose really cuz I have some Amazing pressings. Thanks have a great day 😊

Great video love the Blood, Sweat & Tears album by far the best Blood, Sweat & Tears album they ever made I do have the original Columbia Records 2 eyes pressing and I see a bunch of those albums at the antique mall in my local town and I also have The Beach Boys Surfer Girl and Dean Martin both in original pressing.

You showed a lot of great records! I don’t have the one-step but the Blood, Sweat and Tears record, I feel is an essential record that all music lovers should have in their collection. I had multiple copies including an original that sounded amazing! When I sold off a majority of my records, I kept my ORG 45 rpm pressing which is probably between all of the ones I owned the best sounding version. I adore that album and really wish I could afford the one-step version. I also own that album on MoFi SACD as well as the Audio Fidelity SACD. Have I mentioned I LOVE the BS&T album? 😊

100% agree with your choices.. I have everyone you’ve mentioned except for a love supreme by John Coltrane. I have it on vinyl but not the UHQR for some reason I just can’t get into that album and and the fact that it cost 150 bucks. Thank you Melinda

I have the same Band On The Run album and it does sound fantastic!

I collect mostly obscure psych nowadays, that these labels would never touch. However, I have bought a few AP and MOFI reissues over the years of the classics I absolutely love (and usually own many different pressings of).

I have the ORG 2 LP 45 RPM of that blood sweat and tears record it's a mind blower how good it sounds. Also I just listened to that doors record you have behind you two days ago the analog productions Doug Sax 45 RPM remaster listening to riders on the Storm amazing I was blown away. I forgot how great that song is and how wonderful it sounds on that record.

Such a great video and great pics Melinda. Beach Boys, Donald Fagan, Band on the Run! A big fan of Marty Balin, his vocals on Miracles does not get any better. I noticed you showed that classical record, have you ever listened to Max Richter? Love his stuff and would think that would be a great gateway into classical. 😊

Another must have...one of David Crosby's last albums...Here If You Listen...some of his most beautiful work and highly recommended.

Innocent Man is one of my favorite Billy Joel albums. I'm a Dean Martin fan so I really should pick that record up. Some very good selections.

Love your shows, I have a Pallas Pressing of Fleetwood Mac 45 rpm Rumors that sounds pretty good.

Harvest by Neil Young on a really good clean piece of vinyl sounds fantastic. I’m just not a fan of his music, but the LP harvest is an amazingly good sounding album.

Other than the 45rpm Doors albums, I really don’t play too many of my top notch audiophile albums as much. Sometimes they are definitely a nice treat to put on though. The UHQR Kind of Blue 45rpm is unreal. I bet that Coltrane is as well. Recently, I’ve been enjoying the reward of finding a 1st pressing of some older albums and sometimes they can be mind blowing as well. I bet that 30th anniversary of Dark Side has to be fantastic! The classical albums that Chad reissues are an amazing treat too! You almost need those quiet pressings for classical.

I recently visited Mike at The In Groove when seeing Metallica in Phoenix, and picked up “Moanin’” by Art Blakey from Blue Note, which he said was the album that got him into jazz music, and it has become a favorite of mine, “A Charlie Brown Christmas” was the album that got me into jazz just two years ago, so fairly new still, but very stoked to add another Blue Note to my collection😎👌🥁

I have the original of that BS&T, but I remember it from high school so I double-checked, and it was released in 1968. Ahead of its time. Haven't played it in a while, though. The only audiophile record I can remember off the top of my head is "Time Out" by the Dave Brubeck Quartet; it was a Classic Records release and I remember how amazing it sounded on my previous system; the whole thing was live, in my room! Can't imagine how it would sound on my current system, as the speakers are the only holdover from the previous one. There's a Telarc of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra doing Stravinsky and Borodin I haven't played, too, and a MoFi Billie Holiday, "Body and Soul;" don't remember how it sounds. If the records you showed sound anything like my "Time Out," you're having a blast with them. I continue to live in the vinyl world vicariously through your videos.

My first audiophile recordings that I bought new was the 202 Newvelle Records "New Orleans Collection" my favorite of the four is Irma Thomas "Love Is The Foundation" NVN0001. The other three artists in this collection are all pretty good too. Ellis Marsalis, Little Freddie King and Jon Cleary. These came out in 2020, last I heard they still had some.

Many great choices there, Melinda - I especially concur about the Dylan Mo Fi records - I tend to think of Bringing it all Back Home, Return to Highway 61 and Blonde on Blonde as a single quadruple album - can never play one without the others. Have you come across Chesky Records, I wonder? They make very high quality recordings, although they don't put nearly enough of them onto vinyl. Worth checking their catalog on-line - Melissa Menago's 'Little Crimes' with her great version of Cohen's Hallelujah is a wonderful listen.

This is a nice change of pace away from Russell Brand and Danny Masterson. I'm thankful for channels like yours. I know what you mean about Jazz records. I'm just happy my copies of Take Five and Bitches Brew don't skip.

fine stuff, but I think they real works with good hifi setup 😀👍

The Allman Brothers Band at Fillmore East. I bought the audiophile version in the early 1980s. It is on an audiophile label that I don't think exits anymore called Nautilus SuperDiscs. Anyway, it sounds superb.

I bought that Blood Sweat and Tears One-Step a few months back and it is fabulous! I thoroughly enjoy it, however Hotel California is fabulous at times, and other times I find it grating on my nerves! I guess listening to music has to depend on the mood! Cheers

Some excellent choices, Melinda! If you don’t already have it (and it’s still available), treat yourself to the Analogue Productions 45-RPM version of Surfer Girl. You won’t regret it!

Its amazing to me what sounds best on vinyl. Some more expensive, thicker brand new vinyl can be amazing. But i also have records so thin and floppy from the eighties which defy the laws of audiophile physics. Just amazing. Lol Cheers

Quiex vinyl is slightly transparent,if you hold it up to the light

Ugh... I can't stand jazz, but I adore your channel. When you talk about your favorite rock albums, go into detail about them, I'm mesmerized. When you do talk about "jazz" I still listen, but I'm just not into jazz. Thank you, though, for taking time out of your day to do this channel for all of us record fans! Btw, my mom was crazy over Dean Martin! 😁🤘🏻

An Innocent Man is my favorite Billy Joel album, I would love to find an affordable MoFi copy but for now my original will have to do. I don’t have many MoFi or Analog Production records but the ones I do have I think are phenomenal! I hoping to see some more of my favorite titles get the the audiophile care!

Haha, Blood, Sweat & Tears has that old-fashioned sound. I remember when it was new.😊

I havent heard the mono Surfer Girl, but I do have the AP Stereo version and it sounds exquisite. As does the 45 RPM Stereo Pet Sounds.

Hi Melinda, there is a great album by Art Pepper that has been issued by Analogue Productions. It is called The Intimate Art Pepper. So cool and so classy.

Awesome video! Many of those are my demo records; most days I think the MFSL UltraDisc of Blood Sweat and Tears is the greatest sounding thing I own. Unrelated note, hoping you're coming down to the St. Augustine record fair this weekend! :-)

I have the Rhino Cars S/T, and it is indeed amazing. Would love to see a show about your thoughts on the Atlantic 75 AP releases just announced.

We had that Beach Boys album on an Stereo 8-Track Endless Loop.

Did a comparison of the Cars Rhino vs Mo-Fi. The Rhino is has more dynamic range (louder stuff gets louder, and quieter parts get softer), where the the MoFi has a fatter sound. If I'm cranking it, the Rhino delivers. For more moderate levels the MoFi is nice to have. The Mofi Cars record that really blows me away is their Candy-O pressing. Props to Heartbeat City and Shake It up too. Well worth getting those. Just picked up an original pressing of Door to Door, and it's magnificent. There's so little surface noise, it may be the quietest record I own.

yea classical music aint for everyone; however i respect your musical choices beautiful melinda. billy joel an innocent man awesome record . takes me back to 1983 when i was in middle school 😂 . almost 40 years ago. . the cars excellent band. RIP Ric ocasek and Benjamin Orr. great video as always beautiful melinda

I Remember The First Time I Saw Paul McCartney/Band On The Run...So Many Times I Overlooked That Actor Charles Bronson Was In The LP Cover...

Hello Melinda! Great video as always. I really enjoyed this video. Do you have any other DG Original Source Series titles?

I Too Remember The Early Days Hearing Spinning Wheel On An 8 Track Tape My Father Had...It Also Appeared On BLOOD SWEAT & TEARS Greatest Hits From 1972...I Have That 1968 Self Tilted Original Pressing LP That Purchased From The Flea Market And The Debut: Child Is The Father To The Man~Also From 1968...Other Than Spinning Wheel...My Most Favorite Track Is: Sometimes In Winter...Performed By Guitarist: Steve Katz...If I Could Meet Him~Id Shake His Hand And Thank Him For Writing A Track About My Favorite And Best Most Splendid Season Of All: Winter... Everything About Thst Track Screams Winter...Thr Vibe...The Feel...The Flute... Fitting For A Cold/Cloudy[Or Occasional Sunny] Winter Day...A Cup Of Coffee~Some Sort Of Pastry & This Track: Sometimes In Winter... Splendid Indeed... Kudos To Steve Katz...

Hi Melinda, what outer sleeve (size) did you use for The Cars album. It seems that the standard size does not fit mine. Thanks for the videos!

A great video, Melinda; thanks! In my opinion, the eponymous Eagles OneStep is pretty darn close to MFSL's 'Hotel California' release; I can't wait to hear what they do with Joni Mitchell.

I have to say my friend you have a very nice collection. Have you ever done a video of your top 10 favorite albums .

Another couple...Alison Krauss...what a voice!...and that band, although that's changed. Forget About It...and New Favorite. If you can play Choctaw Hayride and not feel the urge to smack your volume control you better check your pulse. Great music and very nicely recorded.

Abbey Road Half Speed masters are always worth a look. Limited runs though.

Yeah that Fagan LP is stellar even on regular CD. the Nightfly.

Very jealous of your Donald Fagan promo, I believe this is another album that there is not a bad sounding version. I can't afford the 1 steps or uhqr's but I will splurge for a Tone Poet here & there. My favorite tone Poet is Coltrane - Blue Train

They say Rudy Van Gelder's house was too small for the piano, they were wrong on Lateef- Eastern Sounds, thanks Mrs. Murphy for this beautiful record! This will my best record tonally to buy! To me, the original vinyl Billy Joel- Piano man, is one of the best recorded vinyl that I have ever heard. The original Paul McCartney-Ram, has great sound. The UQHR Miles Davis-Kind Of Blue, is one of the best sounding records I've heard. I am going to try to find the older MFSL records to listen to. But I have heard many of the newer versions of MFSL vinyl, & here is my list of the best of them, starting at the top in order. I love the original David Crosby-If I could remember My Name, but everyone I know says the MFSL version of it is the best sounding MFSL record that MFSL ever made. Nest is the 2 Akan Parson MFSL records. But the MFSL & the Analogue Productions Alan Parsons-Eye in the Sky, remasters didnt use the original analog tapes that couldnt be found. Next is the Santana MFSL records. Another much improved with less distortion is the vinyl MFSL Beck- Sea Change, but if you want to save $500, instead buy the MFSL cd Beck-Sea change that sounds 99% as good as the vinyl version of it sounds. Mrs. Murphy likes classical, I bet she doesnt know that orchestras dont use saxophones, because they sound too good to be used in orchestras. Here is great sounding vinyl that was released years after the cds were released. Ry Cooder-Meeting by the River, that is 100% analog record. The best recorded record I've heard. Next is. Nils Lofgren-Acoustic Live, the most dynamic acoustic guitar I've heard. Next is. Wilco- Being There. This is a different category now. The Grateful Dead - Live/Dead (Vinyl, 1969), is one of the greatest sounding albums I've heard. One of the best sounding piano & best seller piano is Windham Hill, George Winston- December. George Winston just died. Another category. Some great sounding guitar not found on vinyl, but found on cd is: Michael Hedges-Oracle. Bill Frisell With Dave Holland & Elvin Jones. Mrs. Murphy was talking about speakers. The best speakers under $1,000 are Canadian PSB-B1 speakers that were $200 new, but just discontinued, but found used on Ebay. These were the world's best selli9ng audiophile speakers, that were Stereophiles speakers of the year for 2 separate years. Stereophile reviews the world's best speakers, but named these speakers, speakers of the year. These speakers are less bright than other speakers.

That's a pretty diverse mix of recordings you chose for this video. You will almost always have me in the palm of your hand if you talk about jazz. Art Blakey was known as a kind of "jazz university". Many promising young jazz musicians came up in his band. You mentioned some notable ones, and Freddie Hubbard was another one. I decided to purchase the Coltrane ALS UHQR; I just love the album as well, just a top notch release in every way. 😻😻😻😻😻 Many people say it beats the first pressing. I must agree that The Beach Boys mono Surfer Girl album pressed by AP/QRP and mastered from the original analogue tapes in all analogue sounds positively terrific. 😻You'd be hard pressed to find a better sounding version of that album. I'm intrigued by the Deutsche Grammophon classical music album you mentioned. I'd like to check that out. Is it an all analogue recording? 🤔 If you like violin based classical music, I recommend checking out the Deutsche Grammophon release of violinist Hilary Hahn's Retrospective album. It's a two lp set, and one of the records is recorded direct-to-disc (D2D). Hahn is widely hailed as the greatest violinist of her generation and has been compared to the truly great Jascha Heifetz by her fans. She also performs really good contemporary music as well. Still a young woman, I'd love ❤ to see her perform live. 🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻

,,,,, P. S. .........your right,spinning wheel was magical when i heard that on the radio,,it really does take me back,,,spot on description of that song,,.i mean,,way back,imo=(how about light my fire,doors,,,pictures of matchstick men)

Perfect 👏🏻👏🏻🤘🏻🇧🇷

I have some discontinued audiophile releases. DCC, Nautilus, some MoFi, Capitol special (forget name) but was a collectors' club I think.

Thanks Melinda. You are so right about the Blood, Sweat and Tears OS. That pressing is one of the best sounding one steps for sure. The horn section is off the charts. For some reason I felt that was getting poo-pooed a lot, but recently it seems to be getting the praise it so deserves… I do have a question for you: what one step/UHRQ outer sleeves do you use? I haven’t found one yet that fits all that well. Thank you

Michael Parkinson who was a famous chat show presenter in Britain is at the cover of Band on the run. amongst other celebrities, he died a few weeks ago, u may not have heard of him in states

There is a Lullaby on that Billy Joel album Goodnight Sweetheart it's time to go.......

Great video!! I have a few audiophile records!! I can’t wait to to get steely dan Aja from analog productions!! My favorite audiophile is my Bob Dylan greatest hits!! I compared it with the original I have and it blew me away!! Do you know what happened to mofi’s one step of Van Halen one because back in March it said coming soon and I went to the record store and got it reserved and now it says preorder again and all the rest of the vh mofi’s say coming soon do you know what’s up with that or what happens in the process of why they did that??

And just for good measure...Jeff Beck>Emotion & Commotion...a real knockout album and some of his most thoughtful music. And a classic...Cat Stevens>Teaser and the Firecat...wonderful music from the early 70's...classic for the times...nicely recorded with great detail.

Hey Melinda - great choices all around. Just as a help and not to be snooty - Deutsche is pronounced like Doy-shuh. German is tough if you’re not familiar. Keep on putting out the good stuff.

If you like Jazz aswell there was a Jazz influenced musician called Amy Winehouse.She was quite good.Songs like Back to Black and Rehab.But she died at only 27.

There should be a label on the Donald Fagen album saying this album is available on DVD-Audio disc with multi-channel surround sound.

I have the Mofi and CBS Mastersound pressing of Toto IV. Mofi takes the cake! I agree, CBS Mastersounds can be hit or miss. The Dire Straits Mofi's can't be beat! Another favorite Mofi pressing is Queen The Game. They did a superb job on this release. Have to mention, Analogue Productions pressing of Pet Sounds is a masterpiece!!

Hey Melinda, are the Beach Boys albums from AP still readily available new or have most made their way to collections by now?

Melinda is sloop John b on that surfer girl album

Blood sweat and Tears. You make me so very happy was our wedding song. How come your copy still sealed ? I am glad that that issue is that good. I will watch for it. Thanks for this review.

Nice video. Enjoyed your comment about sipping a bourbon while listening to Dean Martin. I'm curious as to whether your choice was deliberate or not? I ask because I'm not a huge bourbon drinker, preferring beers or whiskies, but then I realized that while listening to Dean, you should be drinking bourbon! Or a martini.

More for your ears...Pink Floyd>Meddle...Beach Boys>Endless Summer...Billy Joel>The Stranger. If you had a CD player I would tell you to get copies of Bluesiana Triangle and Bluesiana II...your mention of Art reminded me. Those two are remarkable recordings guaranteed to show off your system. I can give a solid recommendation for a single box player that can give you an entry point to music that never made it to vinyl and won't cost an arm and a leg.
