All Just dug out my copy of every picture tells a story by Rod Stewart. (Not played for Ages) The sound quality I am getting from it is abissma.  It sounds all muffled and lost.  The condition is good and lovely and clean and...

I was listening to some speakers at an audition a couple of weeks ago, and one of the tracks played during the warm up was by Mercedes Sosa,  It was a haunting and beautiful track, but I did not at the time ask the title or the album.  I...

Although I have all the original MCLD MCA Dan CD's I was concious of missing the track FM, which is not on any of the studio albums. 'Decade' has it as track 1 so I thought I could buy it (£2.75!) and skip the rest if the mastering was duff.......well it is very very good. Bob Ludwig and Roger Nicholls from the original master tapes. 'Do it Again' is a particular revelation. Highly recommended. MCAD-5570 DIDX-306. G

Was anyone else disappointed with the sound for this live broadcast?  I listened to the FM with my Naim NAT05 - the sound seemed a little dull and lifeless, certainly not as good as usual from this event.  Also, there seemed less information...

I bought this recently, having seen it appear on lots of year-end best album lists and being sufficiently intrigued by the descriptions and reviews I had read. What an unusual album it is, and I really like it. Slightly cheesy 80's sound...

Hope some of you at least caught the OGWT on BBC4 last night. Recorded in 77, I was a bit too young to have watched it at the time. In amongst the bad hair and teeth there was some great performances - Patti Smith, Bob Marley and...

Bruce is playing in 2012 and it's made me think. I have never "got" what he is about and wondered if you fans could set me right. I've never heard an LP of his because the singles have left me untouched (Born to Run, River, Dancing in the Dark,...

Amazon quotes Sony Music re-launches the first six albums of the Rory Gallagher catalogue, Rory Gallagher, Deuce, Live! In Europe, Blueprint, Tattoo and Irish Tour in 2012 As Daniel Gallagher, Rory’s Nephew and producer of the re-issues states: "What better way to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Rory Gallagher's solo career than with the release of his first six solo albums, re-mastered from the original 1/4 inch master tapes?” The titles have all been re-mastered, use enhanced versions of...

Just downloaded tango in The night from hd tracks 24 bit 192 kHz version. Had a listen through my ndx and compared to my rip of the cd. Unfortunately I cannot tell any difference. Very disappointing. Has anyone else done this comparison?
