Listening now to this stereo/mono CD.

Perps - it depended on the release and was yer lil red hdcd light lit up ?

I haven’t listened to HDCD proper since the very early 2000’s. I have several HDCD discs still to this day and none of them made a difference back then. With technology advances, maybe they do now, but I can give a rats ass.

And I suppose you can no longer hear those ticks, pops and swishes with your newly found love affair with, er, VINYL? LOL!

No love affair here. It serves its purpose, but not that often.

Visage BEAT BOY [Rubellan remaster] Another superb remaster with copious bonus tracks

 

[Jeffrey Michael]

I like Ultravox but I never did warm up to Visage.

By the way, I just preordered the two Slow Children CD’s from Rubellan Remasters. I used to have all 3 released records on Vinyl but they were lost in a UPS shipment when I moved in the early nineties. I managed to pick up the two US release albums from a used record store last Fall. It’s odd that Scott chose to use the European release cover on/for the first album.

The North American release looked like this:

I was wondering about those two Rubellan SLOW CHILDREN remasters. Never heard of them. Will have to do a You Tube search!

Continuing with Muddy. This disc has some great sonics IMHO and when upmixed through the Denon has lots of surround and overhead spatial information. Great music plus the bonus sonics!!

Well, today, I would say they’re an acquired taste. When they first came out, I couldn’t believe how good they were. Personally, I feel they still are. Pal Shazar has a different type of voice. More talking than singing. In other words, she talks more than sings through the songs. That’s the best way I can describe it. I’ve never heard anything since. Though, you have to really dig the music in order to appreciate it. There are free mp3’s of their music off a link on Wikipedia.

George Winston's stunning new album...featuring Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah and Laura Nyro's He's A Runner [RCA]

 

[Electric Moo]

Spinning a CD with Miles Davis, Cannonball Adderly, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers, James Cobb, Wynton Kelly. Teo Macero had his fingers in there somewhere, too?

Not my pic, but it's this Columbia CD

A friend picked this up at a flea market. Starts in 1947. First disc was amazing. Had never heard these original versions. Disc 2 today.

[Jeffrey Michael]

Karla Bonoff - All My Life: The Best Of Karla Bonoff

 

[The Rang]

Lisa Germano - Happiness

The original version of this album, on Capitol, before she went to 4AD where it was partially remixed, resequenced and a couple of song (including These Boots Were Made For Walking) were dropped in favour of other tracks.
Which iteration is better?
I’m thinking maybe the 4AD, but nice to have the “lost” tracks and original mixes.

 

[Gimme 4]

...including These Boots Were Made For Walking

You reminded me of Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood Some Velvet Morning
