What are you listening to? (VOL VI)

Second time this week - what a remarkable, powerful opera!

A bit of this? Nice pic, not seen it before. And now i see Sir Peelip in the TV pic.

Indeed!

(are small faces still alowed?)

Oliver,

My Mother has just donated her Blue Note original version of this to me, as they no longer have a turntable.

Lovely big slab of thick vinyl. The cover has seen better days but the vinyl is fine and the inner sleeve has pictures of 72 other Blue Note titles and a banner celebrating "27 Years of Blue Note the first name in jazz 1939-1966". I've got a fair number of them, but I suspect you have the lot!

Regards

Nic

What a great gift.

My Blue Note vinyl is in storage in the US, don't have too many on the black.

On CD I must have over 500 titles, so some of them I got multiple times:
Original CD (German or US)
Japanese First Pressings
Japan Blue Note Works series
Japan Mini LPs
A few on Gold CDs
... and now these outstanding AudioWave XRCDs.

From the same batch of my Mother's donated vinyl, although mine is a mono version on Verve.

Regards

Some of these Mono recordings are the best.

First listen. Some of it a bit samey. Mr Lightbody seems to use the same vocal formula for nearly every track. But that aside there is the odd decent song.

I totally agree.

you should start listening to some of these things on spotify - it will save you a lot of money and space. for me it is disposable.

Spot on Adrian. I listened on Spotify and whilst I enjoyed it, I'm glad I didn't buy it.

James,
What do they sound like?

Now that I have has a considered listen to all three (Deuce, Blueprint and Fresh Evidence), although the balance is slightly bass-heavy (though nowhere near as bad as the almost unbearable UK remasterings), these Japanese CDs sound better than the SHM Rory CDs I have (which sound slightly artificial), and the UK 'original' CDs and the more recent remasters.

Although of course I like listening to the vinyl (of course), they have a wider sound spectrum than at least some of the LPs, which can sound a bit thin. These Japanese CDs, although - as I said - slightly bassy, are the most vinyl-like Rory CDs I've heard.

(Must be ... SWMBO has just told me to turn it down, and I don't normally turn up CDs very high!)

So a real bargain at £5 and £6 each! Sorry those who've got to buy at £20+

James

Listening to all request Friday on the local classical station. Streaming available.

Great shame I can't get Spotify here in NZ. I did however listen to excerpts on Amazon. I'm not sure why, but even after I do that I quite often get it wrong. Maybe they just play the best bit's of the songs
