DCC Releases.

Can someone recomend the best sounding ones? I have Van Halen, and Eagles Hotel California.
Thanks Jon

 

Metallica Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets sound great as well.

 

No matter what, get them when you find them. They all sound amazing. For example, I still picked up the DCC Jethro Tull Aqualung C.D., even if some have preferred another pressing, it's still my go to copy.

 

Ringo is my personal favorite. I don't have that many, but I do have Hotel California which I agree sounds great.

 

I have been eying that one on ebay.

 

All the DCC Doors titles I have are excellent!

 

Ringo Starr’s “Ringo”
Badfinger’s “No Dice” & “Straight Up”
Jim Croce’s “24 karat Gold in a Bottle”
Jethro Tull’s “Aqualung”

 

I have every DCC gold CD (including 2 or 3 which never got released). My two highest lights of a series with many highlights are probably McCartney and Highway 51 Revisited.

 

The Doors DCCs are superb. I love Joni Mitchell's 'Blue' and 'Court & Spark'. Al Green's & Roy Orbison's Greatest Hits DCCs are must haves for me, as is Gerry Rafferty's 'City to City' and Cream's 'Fresh Cream' and 'Wheels Of Fire'.

Start saving.

 

Audiophile DCC Gold CD 24-Karat

I've always enjoyed this list.

 

the DCC of the first doors album is awesome. i am not a fan a of strange days though.

 

From 2010-2014, I gathered up 44 of them, inc. some DCC vinyl : DCC Gold...Do Ya Ever...

 

Electric Light Orchestra - Eldorado
10cc - The Original Soundtrack
Both Beach Boys gold discs.

Really, just grab any you can find.

 

I have all the CCR discs, I always wondered why DCC didn't do the first album (Suzie Q album as I call it)?

 

I have every DCC Gold disc... ’bout a half are still my digital reference.

 

they are all great, but I love in particular the two Jackson Browne discs, Vince Guaraldi's "Black Orpheus", and "Eagles Greatest Hits"

 

Is this for Vinyl or CD?
I only have vinyl. Hotel California is better than any other mastering.

I really like my Al Green's Greatest Hits and the Doors' L.A. Woman. I have all the Doors releases, but I like L.A. Woman the most. I wish they had finished releasing the series.

 

Has anyone compared the unreleased DCC Soft Parade that is "available" to the AF version.

 

I have many...you can't go wrong...it's what price you are willing to pay. If you have favorite albums you usually can't do better than the DCC...

 

Wow, I had no idea Iron Maiden's Number Of The Beast was a planned release.

 

Again, vinyl or CD
The Doors LA Woman is one of the best ( I like both CD and vinyl)

 

Yeah, the archieves of this forum are filled with some incredible stories that almost came to be. Not to mention the stories that did come to be.

Steve H could write a book... Hell, maybe he is.

Edit: That list is only for Gold CD's. I can tell you that certain titles where created. For example, I have a vinyl DCC pressing of (GZS 1084) Never A Dull Moment.

 

Plenty of SHMF threads.
Would be much easier to ask:
"Which DCC Releases To Avoid"

Really why don't you ask for specific genres, artists, or titles.
DCC titles pretty much cover the gamut:
DCC Compact Classics

Enjoy.

 

I have it and I prefer it to the AF Gold CD. Be careful though supposedly one of the downloads that is "out there" is the same mastering as the AF. The DCC one is more dynamic.

 

Great, thanks! I wish the unreleased Van Halen 1984 DCC mastering was "available".
