A + | Transcoded DSD

(2016)

Josefin Öhrn + The liberation

Because its one of my favourite albums of the year and a bit of a break from the seasonal dross that abounds at the moment

Nils Lofgren "Acoustic Live" on vynal
A prezzie yesterday, I am in heaven! Sorry still cant post a pic.

search "album covers" or "post covers" or similar and hopefully you will find some of the variety of ways. I use amazon.com album cover images, "control/click" (on a mac) on the image and at the dropdown "save image address" and then on this thread click "take action/reply" or at the bottom of the page "add reply" window, and when you have the window, on the task bar at the top click the "insert/edit image" icon and on a mac use "apple (command) key/v" and the address should show in the "source box, click "ok", add comments and click "post reply". Expect pc is similar but use right click instead of control/click.

Good luck.

The mono version of this on Tidal sounds very stale and I'm too lazy to get the vinyl out!

My UK vinyl edition doesn't have White Rabit ☹️

1994 - Tidal...

Not listened to this in a long while. It starts very strong and then goes down quickly. Pity really as she has a great voice. The haunting Island is the best track on the album.

These 2009 sessions pair him with frequent collaborator Ben Riley and fellow veteran George Mraz on bass. While most of the focus is on familiar standards, the opener is Barron's slinky "Minor Blues," in which Barron and Mraz both shine backed by Riley's brushwork, though the drummer switches to sticks for his breaks. This is yet another fine example of Kenny Barron's superb chops in a small-group setting. Sorry, was unable to find a full sound track, only Amazon sampler. Highly recommended.

Why don't you get a mono US pressing? You'll have the best of both worlds. Plenty out there to choose from but if don't fancy taking the risk on a dodgy copy then there is the 2015 MFSL remaster on 2x180g pressings. They've had good reviews.
