I'd like to add:

Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home (MFSL 45rpm)
Talk Talk - Spirit Of Eden (EMI, 2012)
Wilco - The Whole Love

 

Monkees "Head" (Rhino)
Love "Forever Changes" (Rhino)
... both are Chris Bellman masterings

 

Pink Floyd reissues are amazing?

 

Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out (AP, 45rpm 200g)
Elvis Presley - Elvis 24 Karat Hits! (AP, 45rpm 200g)

 

I second this, the best I've heard, and I have a very first mint stereo copy.

 

Well this sounds good, but it's not the original mix, but the Rhino remix:

Grateful Dead - Live/Dead (MFSL)

so, I can't recommend it.

 

Going to recommend adding Carl Broemel's "All Birds Say". Got this about a year ago and dug it out again tonight. I had forgotten what a nice slice of alt/folk/country it is and it sounds fabulous, especially (unfortunately) by today's standards.

 

A few I can think of....

Disturbed ‎– The Collection (RSD 2012 vinyl boxed set)
The Replacements - Don't Tell a Soul (ORG reissue)
U2 - War (2008 Remaster)
Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues
John Frusciante - DC EP (reissue)
Michael Kiwanuka - I'm Getting Ready (might be the UK version only - heard that the US pressing may be different)
Moving Mountains - New Light EP
Neon Trees - Picture Show
Yeasayer - Odd Blood

 

Here is one I heartily commend/recommend & say amen to:

Cat Power "The Covers Record."

Sublime sound & a highly enjoyable record.

 

I've got the 2011 Wish You Were Here and I like it quite a lot. There were definitely some high-profile negative reviews here and there, and doctrinaire opponents of digital sourcing threw in a few kicks as well, but see this thread for a largely positive and enthusiastic assessment:

Had no idea the Deep Purple Flashback series was good. Will have to pick one up next time I visit the store.

 

Wow, some great suggestions there Thurenity and dirtymac. Gonna pick up several! Thanks.

I love this forum.

 

Thanks PJJK, I think you just cost me about $200.

I got the PF 2011 Discovery reissues and they do sound really good. Supposedly it's the best they've sounded on CD (except maybe the Oh By The Way reissues).

 

I have a number of these titles and I completely agree. A lot of these are overlooked (i.e. Dot Hacker, Divine Fits, GZA, LITA releases, One Day as a Lion, Brendan Benson) . Great list, I need to look at my list and see if I have any to add. This can be a very resourceful thread.

 

the Brubeck is wonderful

the best aqualung is the classic records 200 gram 45rpm clarity box set ......not the 40th reissue

 

R.E.M. - Life's Rich Pageant (MoFi)
R.E.M. - Document (MoFi)
Pete Yorn - Back and Forth (WG/NRP United)
Kings of Leon - Youth and Young Manhood, Aha Shake Heartbreak, Because of The Times ( all 2013 reissues, all by Chris Bellman)
Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes and Helplessness Blues
Wilco - really everything
Mumford & Sons - Babel
Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker, Ashes & Fire
Pavement - Terror Twilight
Spoon - Gimme Fiction
U2 2008 reissues Boy, War, The unforgettable fire

Those aren't just favorite albums but what I feel are truly a notch above sonicly in my collection. that haven't already been mentioned.

 

I would definitely add the MOFI Dead Can Dance Into the Labyrinth--absolutely demo-worthy on my system (unfortunately, their new album, Anastasis, sounds like compressed mush, even on vinyl).

The current vinyl issue of Godspeed You! Black Emperor's Raise Yer Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven sounds wonderful as well--haven't heard the vinyl version of their latest yet, but looking forward to it.

All the Music Matters Blue Note reissues sound amazing.

 

Sorry to ask, but what the hell are "Deep Purple Flashback series"?

 

I love musicforthemorningafter and the anniversary edition is also a nice pressing, FAR superior to the CD.

Amazon shows the label for Back and Forth as Sony and AcousticSounds shows it as Columbia. Are either of these the one you are referring to?

Just realized you are likely the "Carey" that has the review on AcousticSounds. But I wonder where Amazon is getting the Sony reference.

 

The non-remastered Deep Purple Warner Bros. CDs reissued in the budget line Flashback series.

 

Thanks!

Are the same as the original Warner Bros CDs?

I remember liking 'Machine Head' very much , but 'In Rock' had the butchered 'Speed King'

 

Yes they are the same as the original Warner Bros. CDs

 

The CD issue of the original Engelbert Humperdinck Greatest Hits LP is excellent sounding and this comp has most of the essential 60s classics.

 

ManCave, I'm looking at the record right now. It says copyright 2009 Sony Music Entertainment on the lower left corner on the back | manufactured & distributed by Columbia Records, a Division of Sony Music Enterainment. So I guess both sites are technically right. I think there is only one pressing and it's 2xLP and even though it isn't advertised, this copy is definitely 180g vinyl.

Ha. And yes that is my review. I feel like I owe those guys. Chad Stelly over there did a great job setting up my TT when I bought it. Great people to deal with. So I try and review stuff when I have time.
