What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XI)

I've got a few Tull albums and like most of them but this and Benefit are my top two with Aqualung coming third.

SHMCD rip. Much better than the AAD CD I also have.

A superb album, Steve.  My CD is remaster on the MCA Decca label and the reproduction is very good (better than on my Pilgrimage CD).  Might explore a SHMCD though.  

Mike, I too have the SHMCD of this and it is a step above. You will find it at the same Japanese site you got the Dire Straits album from.

Possibly my favourite album of all time. I have the Japanese 1st mastering, UK Nimbus 1st mastering, SHM sacd and the Deluxe

Great (modern) ZZ stuff in my opinion and one of my favourites but not generally liked for some strange reason.

Dylan and the Bands - Before The Flood on Mobile Fidelity vinyl. Think I prefer it to the original vinyl I have - first had it after recording it off the radio onto my Pye cassette recorder, and became the first live album I ever bought after The Who Live at Leeds.

Vinyl, bought at Berkeley Rasputin's for 1.95$ some years ago ...

Different from my normal genre, but liking this greatly. Thats the beauty of this musical genre.

Very classy late night listening (as one might expect from the title I guess ).  Or at anytime really.  Via Tidal.

That's a really good album. Scary bass line, especially in the 24 bit version.

Yes the living room is certainly reverberating somewhat at the moment - bliss (better turn it down soon before there's trouble).

Channeling the 80s for a while...
