Any good recorded drum solo CDs that can be purchased? I love drums and bass together! Sometimes I also enjoy listening trio jazz groups. Thanks. S.
Hi everyone, I used to be a big Prince fan, but don't have much of his work since the AFKAP Symbol album. 'Purple Rain', 'Parade', and 'Sign o' the Times' are among my favourites of all time, but since the 'Symbol' album I only have...
There is a debate going on in another forum about heavyweight PVC record sleeves, even external ones, having a chemical reaction with the vinyl inside the record cover! Apparently causing a sort of fogging of the disc surface and eventual sound...
The Brilliant Classic complete BACH Edition. Of the 155 CDs then at least 140 are class leading. ATB from George
Vinyl aficionados, pray draw near and give attendance. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-29628063 John.
I just got an email with another exclusive Beatles stuff. I do not care which format: one more release of any Beatles stuff and I'm gonna top myself!

Can anybody give me a view on whether these are worth buying? SQ on the vinyl and CDs is awful to my ears, so was hoping the remasters are significantly better. Thanks David
Just listened to U2's new album 'Songs of Innocence' on Qobuz. Sadly the benefits of lossless resolution, as opposed to Itunes, not so apparent. Like quite a few recent recordings (e.g. The Verve's last LP) it sounds squashed. Music/recording lacks...

I've got the Sgt. Pepper coming in the mail but wondering how is the MMT comparatively to the stereo pressing? I've got a 1971 US Apple Label Magical Mystery Tour reissue and the sounds is thin and very little bass coming through...
Not strictly a Hi-Fi question but..... I have just purchased a copy of this album and cannot release the disc from the packaging to play it The disc seem to be held on by a strange foam pad The disc does not seem to want to release Any ideas as I...
This newly available high definition download is completely to be recommended, in my view. Anyone else tried it? It was aways a favourite of mine on vinyl, but I think this offering moves the game, for the majority anyway.

How cool is this? From an exhibit appearing in the UK presently.
Is this a good thing for the RCO? Daniele Gatti
One of our most underrated songwriters, Lynsey de Paul suffered a brain haemorrhage and died in a London hospital. Her death was completely unexpected: she was a vegetarian, didn't smoke or drink. It is simply very sad.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hvaOvDOhsM One of the greatest of pianists, and one whom the composer admired, in a performance that combines a Leonine [and Apollonian] strength with enough warmth to convey the music without a hint of false sentimentality. ATB from George
I noticed that these became available on Qobuz today, and I have bought the Barber of Seville (1957) in 96/24. The downloaded tracks are correctly numbered, but I had to do a job on the metadata to get it to appear as one album in Nserve. Just...
Just treated myself to two albums I missed while growing up. The Kinks 'Muswell Hillbillies' and Blur 'Parklife'. Both bought as 96/24 from HDTracks. Have just started to listen to the latter. No matter about the provenance, it sounds very good to me,...
