Make a Audio Fidelity 2 CD/SACD Best Of Collection pulled from titles already released

Title says it all. If you could put together a Audio Fidelity 2 CD/SACD 'Best Of' collection of material, already put out on the label, what would be on it? It can be from releases from both Steve and Kevin that have been released up to this point. Only real criteria is it must fit on a 2 CD compilation. Also it must contain a variety of tracks - one CD can't be just Pet Sounds, ha. Think of it as a Best of the Best to promote the label. Should be fun.

Ok, you start.

 

I will put mine together later. I don't have all the CD's that AF has released but will pull from what I have. I know some titles won't be accounted for because of time constraints on the discs.

Considering some of the variety this could be quite the challenge. Phil Collins...Dio...Jon Anderson...CSN.

 

This must include "Memories Of Green" from the Blade Runner soundtrack that they did. I LOVE that SACD, probably my most listened to title. I would also put "Go Your Own Way" by Fleetwood Mac on here from the Legends - Get It On SACD. The best I've ever heard that song. I can't really think of anything I've bought from AF that sounded anything short of outstanding.

 

Yea, a real challenge. Makes it interesting and fun.

What a cop out.

 

I did not delete it in time.

CD 1 - Faces - A Nod is as Good as a Wink**
CD 2 - someone else can do that one.

**Qualifies as there is still room on CD 1 for other "stuff"

 

My first go at the track listing. My criteria was I really liked the song and the song sounds awesome on the release it was taken from. Of course I have to own the CD and the songs must fit on the the space available.

As long as you want a licensing nightmare, why not go after a real challenge: Superstars of the 70's (WB)

This is a made-up compilation from the titles that AF already has released. Kind of a Best Of for Audio Fidelity.

I know. Sorry for veering off-topic a little. Just thought as long as we're dealing with licensing challenges, might as well daydream a bit. Now back to our regular programming...

Cheers!

 

I listened to the tracks I picked, in the order I listed them, and it flows pretty well. I might sub a few tracks though.
