osprey,

What's your format? I have a Best of the Boomtown Rats CD from 2005 (Mercury/Universal 987022-7) and frankly was disappointed. Found the overall sound narrow, flat, and disengaging. Still I hang on to it for a rare listen.

1996 vinyl. A much better press and SQ than the Live at the BBC LP.

Joe, it's a (very thin) vinyl from 1979 (Mercury ‎– 6310 960, Scandinavia pressing). Sound is good to me but I have listened to this version over 30 years so it might be also that I have just used to it. Sorry to hear that CD is disappointing.

Thanks osprey,

I've yet to come across any Boomtown Rats vinyl during my s/h picking, but will grab one if I ever see it. I remember hearing their sound from my older brother's room when I was a teen and it was exciting back in the day.

Now something different

This 1970 album constitutes Traffic's recommitment to itself and its music, in the wake of near-constant personnel shuffling early in its existence. It was not the last time the group made the most of such changes, but it signifies that point in time when Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi and Chris Wood rediscovered the chemistry they shared. 

A nice sunny morning here this suites the weather....

Does what is say's on the tin.....

Hi, what do you think about it?

Antonio Forcione - Acoustic Revenge

Personally I believe this is one of the better albums of Forcione

Folk in its purist form:

Unfortunately the 2005 Remasters (overseen by Geldof and Briquette) are another example of woefully loud and poor remastering. (Although Tonic isn't as bad as some of the others, Surfacing is headache inducing)

Loudmouth from 1996 has most of Rats hits and sounds comparable to my vinyl.

SJB

Some more Texas boogie ,next one from the CD box set:-

ZZ Top - Eliminator

One of my favourite lave albums. Up the with the best.

   Great trio, great album, enough said.

On CD:-

great album

CD rip - HDX

I can't have played this since I originally bought it. Boy have I missed a trick. Doh! The music is just fantastic. There are versions of songs, like The Long and Winding Road, which I think are better than on the original album. Some of the stripped down songs are so intimate. I'll be playing this more frequently now. 

Reminiscing

Old classic 

Last one tonight

Love this album

+1. Nice to hear the Let It Be album tracks without Phil Spector's horrendous post production! The Let It Be Naked LP is excellent and McCartney should be applauded for pushing that project to completion when there was not a lot of other internal support for it within "The Beatles" team (based on what I've read).
