Listening now to this stereo/mono CD.

[JediJoker]

I used to own a CD player that decoded HDCD but it’s been years. Now all I have for playing discs is an OPPO 103D.

The 103D also decodes HDCD. The 10X players were the last from Oppo to do so.

Lou Reed - Legendary Hearts

Apparently this album didn’t do well on original release. Can’t judge it against his catalog (it’s only the 2nd Lou album I’ve heard) but I like it. Simple production so it comes down to the songs.
Excellent sound on this Iconoclassic reissue.

Now we know where Daft Punk stole their idea from for the cover on their album Random Access Memories.

LOL!
I knew that album cover looked familiar

Thanks, I didn’t realize that.

A WONDERFUL ALTERNATIVE TO 'SAPPY' HOLIDAY MUSIC. THIS ONE ROCKS!

I've got a few of Lou's, I think my fav is Sally Can't Dance, just checked and I got 3 copies. The original LP (now ripped), an early CD, and a 2001 remaster. Guess I really liked it back in the day? LOL
I also liked Berlin quite a bit.

Hey I got that one, forgot about it till I saw your cover, I've had it so many years now.

What are you going to listen to in February?

What are you going to listen to in February?

I just counted 65 digital discs for Miles Davis, so i'm not worried until April . . . the cruelest month!
EDIT: make that 67–i missed these two:

Robert Fripp - Washington Square Church

Restored Frippertronics performances, they found the solos (which weren’t usually recorded) and matched them up with the archived backing tapes.
Kinda ambient, kinda weird.
Love Fripp but this stuff borders on annoying.
Sound on 24/48 LPCM is fine I guess.

Too funny! And does that include Live At The Plugged Nickel?

 

[Quad Linda]

Which release of Plugged Nickel? 2 LP, 2 CD, 2 different Japan CD boxes or US CD box? First Japan box was complete, but only from one set of reels.

Oh, you KNOW it does! I used to BUMP this set at school during free periods and lunch. Turned a LOT of kids on to jazz through miles of Miles!

[Quad Linda]

Bought US CD box at Disc-O-Rama in Greenwich Village when new. Best value and both sets of tapes.

BTW: have over 500 CD's of Miles, plus Japan & US SACD's, DVD-A. BDs. DVD-v, LPs etc. Perhaps a couple dozen CD boxes. Missing only the last few, thanks to other artists' 5.1, Super Deluxe and SACD releases.

Caught Miles live 6 times. RIP
