Sonny Rollins at the Village Vanguard. Yesterday I played all four of the Sonny Rollins albums which I own one after the other and enjoyed them so much that I decided to explore more of his music. The Penguin guide gave the RVG remaster of this recording a rosette, so that's what I've gone for.

Hi Kuma,

I just ordered this on CD & Vinyl.  Currently, they are saying delivery range is mid December to mid January.  Often this is improved on but we'll see.

A charity shop find

but, it was buy one, get one free and the assistant would not let me have just one, so I went back to the rack and picked up the first one - 

I have never heard of Wheeler Brothers, but played the two discs one after the other. I got what I expected from the Vaughans.  Wheeler Brothers was a pleasant surprise. An underlying feeling of similarity to Counting Crows. What really stood out fof me was the comparison of the percussion on thd two discs. When it comes down to it the Vaughans is a rather monotonous whack, whack, whack. Wheeler Brothers contains some really subtle complex stick work. Worth a listen!

Great album, Bert. It looks like you're filling in some gaps in your Santana collection. I hope you've got Caravaserai - definitely my favourite, which I only discovered from this forum a couple of years ago.

Bert have you bought the new remastered CD of The Beatles White Album?

The 4-LP edition will have to wait until funds become available. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to diving into this in the coming days...

How do you listen to CDs Kevin ? Naim CD player or ripped CDs through a Naim Streamer? 

Love to know your opinion of these new White album CDs. I put mine on order Friday and will get them Tuesday.

Hi [@mention:47746326255127503] - I listen to CDs on an Oppo 205, which is equipped with a serious DAC (it's a brilliant and versatile machine) and which also has the capability to play hi-res files and music Blu-rays, so I will listen to Giles Martin's 2018 mix in 24/96 PCM stereo on Blu-ray and the outakes/Esher demos on CD.

My brother has that player , he is impressed with the 205. I use the 203 for movies only . I use a naim streamer for music .

No I have all Beatles albums, but I am not a real die hard fan, at least not so far. So no need for me to get the improved mastering.

Yes I have that one. Now more or less close to complete. While not sure if I need his in between spiritual period. My favorite album is by the way Blues for Salvador.
