Smashing Pumpkins - siamese dream
Shovels & Rope - O' Be Joyful
and
Junior Boys - Big Black Coat (for my wife)
On one hand I am stoked that records are making a comeback, but on the other hand, if artists are just pressing the mp3 versions of their digital music to vinyl it kinda defeats the whole "sounds better" aspect.
also: Innerspaceboy, i was just looking into that album not long ago, glad to see I'm not the only one  |
Very cool! I'm fortunate in that, for the vast majority of the recordings I seek, quality mastering is the standard and not the exception. Reissues from analog-sourced masters from Brain, Ohr, ECM, DG, and Nonesuch are always well done.
I think the only bum master I own is the Plain Recordings reissue of Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space, but I was well-aware of that going into the purchase.
Also - excellent scores from the record club! May I ask the name of the service to which you've subscribed?
