I must agree, Schurink. Thanks for the recommendation, were you the OP? I love this album. Looking forward to hearing more from these guys.
One of my all-time favorites...
Coldplay "A Rush Of Blood To The Head"
2015. CD
This album never strays too far from the CD player.
1999 vinyl reissue.

I think you ask yourself was I the original poster, yes I was...
Bruce Springsteen. Tunnel Of Love. On original vinyl from 1987. A DMM pressing with a very fast, if not somewhat clinical SQ. An enjoyable album showing a nice mix of The Boss' pop and passionate sides.

I like to see this ready availability of live music. I recall while leaving a McCartney concert in 2002 saying to my wife something like "Gee, wouldn't it be great if we could walk out and buy a CD of the fantastic performance we just heard? You'd think the technology is in place to do so." Pay $15 and wait a minute while a CD recording fresh off the mixing board is burned for you. Well, of course there has to be some editing and approvals involved in the process, but it seems Springsteen's got the right idea with a quick turnaround of his performances available for MP3 download. Bruce has the power and following to make this model successful. It will be interesting to see where other artists go with this notion in the future. Maybe others are doing it and I'm not aware.
