Hi Sorren, I have this one. It's not outrageously good but it is on a typical high IQ quality. For me IQ has become a bit repetitive....... So I don't dislike it, but I wouldn't also give a 100% recommendation.

Cheers,

Bert

Thanks Bert. The quality is good and I think I liked the second disk better. I'm sure it will grow on me given a few more listens. Russell

It's indeed good I even have the feeling that I prefer the new mix even more - but it needs some more listening.

Having neglected this album among my DS collection for quite a while it's now getting something of a resurrection. I seem to have discovered qualities in it that I'd previously overlooked .

Apologies missed your question. The album is indeed Ella and Louis and it's a 192KHZ high res version - hope that helps.

Thanks BERT .

Steely Dan - Gaucho

This just gets better and better with every play

PJ Harvey. 4 Track Demos. (Yamaha MT 2X 4-track recorder). 1993.

Streaming.

One of my favourite albums if the 90's

With Dry and Rid of Me, the three best albums she has done. Out of the three, this one sounding superb. Powerful song writing, simple a raw compositions and frankly one of a kind female in this genre. Everything after this and up to 'Let England Shake' are too soft and commercial for me.

Jason.
