What are you listening to right now? (VOL I)

Posted by: Tam on 06 June 2005

Anyway, to kick things off, I'm currently, and probably for most of the rest of this week, listening to Radio 3's Beethoven Experience. They're doing one of the piano concertos at the moment and (number 2 with Glenn Gould). Anyway, the experience thing probably needs its own thread, but, even on this cheapo radio it's proving fairly enjoyable.

So, what are you listening to right now?

The very thin plastic near the hole gives my cdi a hard job getting a grip to play it
properly... got it going okay after a bit of fiddling around.
That slippery looking snake on the cd cover doesn't help either ; )

The music is very good!

The serial killer one.

Haven't heard this album for at least 20 years

Best of Joe Walsh and The James Gang.

Ewen, I am going ot have to ask you, what are the best pressings for Joe Walsh stuff?

Oh and btw, have you got the RLJ anthology, it sounds excellent to my ears, I'd be suprised if anything can better it...

Just buy a normal copy of "Smoker" preferably with the no MCLD 19020. There isn't any better and it costs just a couple of pounds.

There is also a twofer disc from Canada "Smoker/Sick Mind" that sounds good. Cat no MCAD 5869

"Barnstorm", it's a toss up between the MFSL and the orignal Jap copy on MCA. Don't buy a copy of the disc on Hip-O as it was badly mastered. I have the MFSL which I am very happy with.

"So What" the best version is the original Jap cat no WMC5-288 it is so smooth sounding compared to the normal pressing which is a reach for the cotton wool job. I find it very dynamic but I haven't seen many up for sale.

I agree with you on the RLJ Anthology excellent sounding.

The James Gang stuff I am not sure about so can't answer that but some folk say the original Jap pressings which are WMC5 cat no's

The only James Gang disc I have is the MFSL Live disc and there is a debate about whats the best. Personally I think it is the best but some folk think it is not any better than the normal One Way cheap pressing.

Hope you are still playing that U2- good isn't it.

It was used in the Japanese film (Real) Killers and in Manhunter and in Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare - none of which have I seen, but it is all in the book that comes with the deluxe version.
