Tellytubbies on acid, I like looking at the back of my head, sometimes. 

From the inside or the outside?

It arrived today from the USA. I have been receiving two albums approximately every two months from Music Matters. Its one of the latest two of twelve releases from their all analogue Limited Edition 33rpm series, Sonny Clarke's Cool Strutting being the other. All the albums have superb SQ, however, this might just be the best of the bunch.

 

I've just realised I preordered this MM LP from Amazon back in February. It's now over £50. The preorder price back then was £35. It's due for delivery in a couple of weeks.

I think this might be my favourite Joni Mitchell album

Posted on: 27 October 2014 by Sorren

Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Ripped to FLAC. A classic album with some unforgettable melodies.

In this special edition, we talked with Andy Tillison and featured both live and recorded music by Andy, The Tangent and Parallel Or 90 Degrees.  Oh, and a Rush track too!

Hi Clive, head over to Qobuz UK you will get it there. 

I've streamed both albums on Qobuz and Spotify and the SQ on Qobuz is  definitely more transparent and precise. A bit disappointed with the "extra material" on both but HOTH is the best album by a mile.

Especially with sax very airy, a bit too much laid back in most songs in my opinion.

IV cd sounds too bright on my system and overall don't like the compression on both cd's so I gave them away to a friend
