Of the post-Green era, I think this is Mac's second best album behind Rumours, but still damned good though. This CD also has excellent reproduction quality.
Amen to that MDS. Another lovely album to dig out and spin up. The vinyl is farking good too.
John.
NIN: With Teeth
Haven't listened to this since the release. Surprisingly good sounding digitally recorded vinyl.
Quintessential American *alterntative* rock with their lead singer sounding like a dude from Wilco with perpetual cold but on steroids.
Pink Floyd. The Wall (1979). On CD, Columbia 1997 release. Every now and then I like to sit back and let my hard earned system "wow" me. This recording certainly ticks all the hi fi boxes; wonderful soundstage depth and width, a great dynamic range, rock solid bottom end, and sweet highs. Musically, it ticks all my boxes as well. Best heard at comfortably loud volume in a dark room with eyes closed and no one else around 
.
An endearing selection of UK folky influences from the past, by a chap from Rockford, Illinois.
Multiple splashes of apparent reincarnation of those we have loved and lost. Delightful.
John.
Do you have the vinyl version John - and if so where from?

On vinyl.
Matt,
Thanks for the post, reminds me I've got a few gaps to fill in my NY catalog. Just ordered the CD for a fin off ebay. I'm envious of your vinyl as it is now rather cost prohibitive 
. I'm very much looking forward to hearing the CD.
Been playing this for a week. Really good album in places out tomorrow.
My listening this week.

I got my vinyl copy from Normans Records online. I had to wait a few weeks for them to get it in though.
Just right for a Sunday morning.
Just start at the beginning and press play...
A bunch of Trax off the new Dan Auerbach collabaration group called The ARCS due out in September.
