According to discogs CUN is a 1980's reissue.

Steve

From Sticky Fingers to Black and Blue (1976) the Rolling Stone label prefix is COC, from Some Girls (1978) onward it's CUN and reissues of the earlier albums are also prefixed the same, so yes this is a later pressing but from the A1/B1 matrix it would be the first repress in the late '70s. SQ should be good.

Steve

If only it were that straightforward, Steve. I have a CUN copy of Goats Head Soup which I bought in 1973. Both COC and CUN were released simultaneously from the off, in different parts of the world.

And both equally amusing still, but in different ways of course.

I was only commenting on UK releases. I should have mentioned that given the international nature of the forum.

....but I bought it in Petersfield Hampshire. Menzies, I think....

I enjoy listening to Roy, but for some reason don't have this one. Thanks for the reminder, Don.

Pat

A busy night tonight - Please excuse the long (though only) post.

Four Seasons

Ripped as FLAC.

A revelation on the SQ2. Realized I hadn't played much classical on it so ...

Klemperer

29th, 40th and 41st Absolutely brilliant. Ripped as FLAC.

Followed by

Beethoven

7th, esp second movement. Ripped as FLAC.

Then moved back to my normal listening habits.

Caress of Steel

24bit 96kHz FLAC

Then

Broadsword

Ripped to FLAC.

and finally

Cat Stevens

Ripped as FLAC and I think it's ADDICTIVE.

I played this at the party tonight.

Man.. i need to get a hold of UK pressing or something.

My US original vinyl has NO bass.

Agreed kuma. I've said here before that the Stones' pre 'Some Girls' vinyl sounds like it was mastered for AM radio.

Kuma and Joe Uk first press bass line so easy to follow,not over the top either.

Thanks Steve.

Hope I'll look out for one. What's the label?

Light & Gold

A friend sent me a copy of this. He is apparently one the finest current choral composers of our time. This sounds wonderful over my main system.

Karajan program is always pretty and luxurious but missing a bit of involvement for me.

Posted on: 06 January 2014 by ewemon

Couple of sample trax off this which is due out in Feb. Does nothing for me in fact sounds like one of those artists who wouldn't get an album issued if he hadn't been in a famous band. Will need to hear a little more.

Never a truer word has been said. If there is another artists that should go away quietly it is Ringo.

I shouldn't be too hard on Richie. Truth be told he still makes a lot of folks happy. My son and I have enjoyed Ringo in concert twice together. He is still savvy enough to surround himself with an "All Star Band" and actually puts on a very tight performance now in his early 70's. But as far as making any new LPs , well, ........

Always have liked this album apart from the track feat Kid Rock.
