I wasn't sure if your 1995 vinyl uses the 1995 Bob Ludwig remastering that the '95 CD does. The SHM-CD Platinum uses a new (2013) remastering and sounds superb. If you are also a CD man, maybe consider it - it even comes with a real zip, like your vinyl  

1996 vinyl compilation of the great man's biggest hits:

Francesco Piemontesi recorded two albums for Naive, after which it became quiet around him. His first album included recordings of the Schumann and Dvorak piano concertos; the Schumann has little to recommend it, but the Dvorak is excellent. Psychology at work - I never cared much for the CD because the performance of the Schumann tainted my opinion of the Dvorak. However, I've long since given the CD away and now repurchased the Dvorak half of this album as a high-res download. Voila, issue solved. I prefer this issue to the famous Richter / Kleiber record.

'Kiss it Off' positively holographic in WAV from NAS.

This twofer is of course about the two sets of Diabelli, one on a grand, the other on a fortepiano, but Op. 111 as 'filler' is not to be underestimated. Schiff's boogiewoogie variation in Op.111 is not as swinging as some, but a lot better than you might expect from him. A great record.

(1998)

Mistakenly underrated album of his by some people. I always thought it was one of his best in the '90s.

U2, Achtung Baby, first time I've listened to this since I got my hugo I think, and it sounds very good indeed.  I sometimes think later U2 albums can get a bit lost in the mix but this is really clear and musical.  24 bit flac via Audirvana/Hugo

On HDCD - my favourite Dead studio album:

Another Byrds album from my youth. I never tire of listening to it.

That's a great album and also a favourite of mine, Kev. Funny bit is that I have the album and  sleeve but can't remember for the life of me  where  I put the cover. It's a mystery!

It's probably down to the brown acid John Sebastian warned us all about at Woodstock...

Yep, I don't know how but it must  have been the hell of a trip.

The Stereophonics, Performance and Cocktails, brilliant album from when they still knew how to rock.  I saw them on this tour and they were superb, pity they have lost their way since.  IMO they never hhit these heights again. Flac via Audirvana/hugo

First run - like it....

Really enjoying this. They should be huwge...

Ed Sheeran, +, because my son loves it and its a damned good album by a talented, rather nice artist.

The strange case of.. - Halestorm.

Excellent 21st Century Metal.
