Jeff Beck's Blow By Blow and Wired. Lynyrd Skynyrd's Second Helping and Nuthin' Fancy. Looking forward to Are You Experienced and Axis: Bold As Love later this year...
CCRs and the Beach Boys, Nat King Cole are probably tops for me. Dusty In Memphis, Brubeck's Time Out probably next.
Three words: CCR. Just marvelous. AP seems to be more adventurous than MoFi, but I prefer their masterings overall slightly less. They contract outside mastering engineers so you really never know exactly what a disc is going to sound like. I'm just glad they embrace jazz and classical more than MoFi does. On a different note, does anyone know why all the major audiophile labels seem to have come to a hault with releases lately? It seems like it's been forever since something new came out.
All of their Living Stereo and Decca classical discs that I have heard are superb. Since buying many of these discs I find the old BMG Living Stereo SACDs to pale in comparison.
Miles Davis- Relaxin While I like the SACD format I don't see myself buying anymore. I don't listen to SACD's all that often. Primarily consume my music through: records, CD's, streaming, Mp3 and FLAC.
NKC and CCR, of course. But how about Patsy Cline - Greatest Hits. The SRV Texas Hurricane set is also nice. John Lee Hooker - It Serve You Right to Suffer. Junior Wells - Hoodoo Man Blues. Johnny Hartman - The Voice That Is! And a few more that I'd like to hear but haven't yet, Johnny Hartman - Once in Every Life and Harry Belafonte - Live At Carnegie Deli and Sings the Blues.
No, I didn't. I am asking for people's favorites because I own very few AP SACDs and I am considering buying some, especially the jazz titles.
These jazz titles come into my mind quickly. Blues and the Abstract Truth Mingus x5 The Black Saint and The Sinner Lady Out of the cool Out of the Afternoon Somethin Else Idle Moments Dippin Introducing Johnny Griffin After Midnight
