"The Ride" (2013)
Second release in the trilogy (The Hang, The Ride, The Job), midwest US rock and roll for the last 42 years
Music on Vinyl x3 
I have been wondering how the SQ on this compares with the CD version - does anyone have experience of both.
Thanks
Clive
Not me sorry however, the music on these three albums is superb and the SQ from a digital source is good. So would imagine the CD set will sound ok.
Thanks - in fact it's the other way round - I have the CDs and I agree about the music. I was wondering if the vinyl would be an improvement. The CDs have gone through something called the No-noise system to reduce tape hiss - and no doubt interfering with other elements of the sound quality. I might get in touch with MoV who do sometimes respond to queries of this sort.
The cd has had all the life taken out of it because of the use of No Noise. Now when were talking good sounding Animals comps. Get this one and it is dirt cheap.
Thanks for this suggestion - it looks a good compilation, but initially what I want is a good collection of the early stuff (i.e. Mickie Most produced). I have contacted MoV to see if they will tell me what the source is.
Hi Cbd, as I posted last week the info on the back cover states digital remasters (p) 1990 the vinyl Is mono and very flat the sq is also good in my opinion. Hope this helps.
Thanks, Quad. That's the same date as the CD but what I really want to find out is whether the MoV files have the NoNoise software.
Just in case anyone else was interested in this thread. I heard back from MoV today and they couldn't answer the specific question about NoNoise. The reply stated that 'We received and used high res audio files (96 KHZ / 24 BIT) of the original master' but that on NonNoise, 'Unfortunately we can’t trace back if that kind of software has been used'. Good customer service, I thought.
Cdb,
MOV are good at what they do.
Some LPs sound brilliant.
Some not so.
95.5% of the time there main source is direct from Sony and there massive back catalogue of albums.
At the end of the day they are just a pressing plant that sell records.
Surprised it took Simon so long to come up with the idea to be honest.
If you ever want to see it in action?
They are happy to show you round the place If you are ever over there?
Lots on youtube.
Dammit ewemon you're doing it to me again! 
Braids - Flourish//Perish (2013)
Streaming - CD rip to FLAC
Second album from the Canadian indie / electronica band with a female vocalist
Worth a listen
The Doors debut LP from 1967. On Elektra butterfly label vinyl, circa 1970. Love the keyboards/organ throughout this album.
The Doors. Weird Scenes Inside The Gold Mine. 2 LP reissue from earlier this year. In a mood for more Doors.
Van Halen II. Remaster of the 1979 release on HDCD from 2000. In a mood for metal.
B.B. King. There Must Be A Better World Somewhere. On vinyl from 1981. An excellent LP that I should play more often.
Dammit ewemon you're doing it to me again!
Get your brother on the case as this is well worth it. I have the 4 disc set. It has the extra trax that didn't make the album.
An audio rip of this brilliant Black Crowes gig from Koln in 92 for German TV.

Nice as side music
Great band! I'm wating to get the live album with Jimmi Page.
On Spotify, 1st CD is really good , especially like Black Sunday Afternoon, the 2nd CD of covers is not so good IMO:-
Anna Trenheim - Leaving On A Mayday
Just played a couple of LPs from the 70s.
From 18=976 on vinyl: Blue Oyster Cult - Agents of Fortune
Followed by (also on vinyl from 1972): The Bunch - "Rock on"
Haven't played this for ages, but a really interesting album from a collection of (then) present and future members of Fairport Convention covering some well known classic songs. Members of the Bunch included, Richard Thompson, Sandy Denny, Gerry Conway, Pat Donaldson, Dave Mattacks, Ashley Hutchings, Linda Peters (before she married Richard) & Trevor Lucas (Sandy Denny's future husband).
