Gotta get off my butt and start buying those KC releases.
Was going to get them randomly but now I'll thing I start chronologically with ITCOTCK, ITWOP and Lizard.
Just placed an order with ED last week.
Wish I'd known they'd get their hands on it this quickly. Would have added WYWH to the order.
It usually takes awhile for AP titles to filter their way down to the other suppliers
When I spoke with Acoustic Sounds yesterday they confirmed the press run was 10,000.
Though the guy I spoke to wasn't sure, he acknowledged it doesn't necessarily mean it's limited to that number.
There could be a second press run if necessary.
I would think Analogue Productions would press...
Rush - Moving Pictures DVD-A
The Fixx - 1011 Woodland DVD-A
Styx - Cyclorama DVD-A
John Coltrane - Standard Coltrane SACD
Rickie Lee Jones - It's Like This SACD
Played the Rush in 2 channel 24/96 (not a surround fan).
It's OK, didn't blow my socks off sonically.
But I had...
Little Feat - Waiting For Columbus, MoFi Gold
Suzi Quatro - If You Knew Suzi , Vinyl
Alicia Bridges - Alicia Bridges, Vinyl
The Alicia Bridges album was a huge surprise.
The only song I knew "I Love the Night Life" so I was expecting a disco album.
Not so.
A very good record...
A real combination of obscure and rarely played discs from my collection:
The Stampeders - Ballsy
Mary Lee's Corvette - True Lovers of Adventure
Lloyd Cole - Plastic Wood
My Concord pre Christmas SACD order finally arrived:
Wes Montgomery - The Incredible Jazz Guitar of
Zoot Sims - ...and the Gershwin Brothers
Bobby Timmons - This Here Is...
Eric Dolphy - Out There
Art Blakey - Keystone 3
Karrin Allyson - Sweet Home Cookin'
Mike, must admit...haven't listened to it.
I have many SACDs sent to my niece in Seattle (to ensure free shipping within the US).
This one has arrived there but is not in my hands just yet.
She'll bring it up on her next visit...the waiting is killing me.
Mark Knopfler - Sailing To...
The money doesn't really bother me but being unemployed at the moment I shouldn't be spending anything on music.
I probably paid too much for Security and I too am unsure of how much impreovement there is.
Some of the PG SACDs (I have all of them except 2 & 3) are noticably improved...
A bit behind in reporting my Hi-Rez discs lately:
SACD
Martha's Trouble - Still
Peter Gabriel - Security
Nat King Cole - After Midnight
Nat King Cole - Where Did Everyone Go?
Ray Charles - Genius Sings the Blues
Eleanor McEvoy - Still Here
Mark Knopfler - Shangri La...
Have yet to see a single episode of this series, but thanks to overwhelmingly positive reviews everywhere I looked I decided to buy all three sets on Blu-ray. Can't resist at this price. Seriously doubt I'll be disappointed.
