Oooh! Me first!
This, on CD - haven't heard it in years.
The Youngbloods
Original Decca mono vinyl.
Original 1981 vinyl. Early 80s ponytail-tastic!
first listen even though I have it years. bought in some sale.
SJB
You gotta love the Gristle. On CD.
Streaming from CD rip
Just managed to get a copy of this first almost unknown and publicised Evanescence Album.
The recording quality makes the others sound awful.
It is nice to hear their music uncompressed and hear the vocals unadulterated - it is so stunningly better that it made me laugh!
Musically the following Album 'Fallen' is superb, but recording Q took the sadly inevitable deterioration into compression and 'improving' the vocals when Amy does not need that. I did purchase the album after Fallen but it did not musically work for me and the recording quality degraded even farther so I never play it.
...for all that 'Origin' is totally different and gives a view on what some of the Artists were really capable of.

One more before heading off: on 180g vinyl, from the deluxe box set:
Piano Concertos [Box set]
Ashkenazy (Artist), Previn (Artist), London Symphony Orch. (Artist) | Format: Audio CD
On top of everything else, worth listening to for the drum work alone. Xanadu and Cygnus-X1 also have lashings of atmosphere. Best listened to in a darkened room
