That Sam Cooke sounds enticing. Unfortunately I have no vinyl from him, just a few CDs. I'm sure it sounds great. I think I know what you mean about those stripped down recordings. RE: the Beach Boys I never delved as deep as I should have, beyond the obvious stuff like Pet Sounds, Smile, or hits collections I heard here and there. I'm not a mono nut like some folks are but I can appreciate mono recordings. Earlier today I spent some time listening to 70s 2xLP reissues of 50s mono material from Art Pepper and Miles Davis. Although nowhere near the very best stuff from either artist I really enjoyed those.

Sorry for the late reply. I have to be honest, I don’t own any album, either LP or CD. I was just considering buying one of three possible (physical) media, namely the LP, CD or SACD. The SACD seems to recreate the original multi-channel recording.

Currently listening to Confessin' The Blues. Five 10" vinyl boxed set with tracks selected by members of The Rolling Stones and a steal at less than £50.

More great contemporary jazz coming out of the UK. The pressing itself isn't the best (Optimal I think)...some light spots of non-fill here and there but doesn't detract from enjoying the music too much.

Two recent diverse Vinyl purchases arrived today.
Mobile Fidelity - Upstairs at Erics (Yazoo) haven't heard this for a lot of years excellent musically (if it floats your boat) and dead quiet pressing listened a louder on my volume control than normal which likely reflects a dynamic and relatively low velocity recording and exceptionally clean recording and rendition of Alison's voice. Second was a new 'UB40 collected' release believe like Yazoo limited edition this on Gold double vinyl; echo the pressing, music comments above if not quite as dynamic. This is the second album I have in the 'collected' range the first Fats Domino was also excellent - may have to see what else is available in this range as come well recommended. |

I got this one fairly recently also and was very impressed. I never really listened to the band before getting this one and finding a U.S. copy of their second album in the used bin maybe a month ago. As with the other recent MOFI records I have, little to no compression seems to have been used during mastering so you have to crank them up so they "bloom". According to a friend that has the original UK pressing of "Upstairs" that one has more of a "V" shaped EQ emphasizing the high and low end while the MOFI pressing sounds more balanced and even handed. If I ever come across a clean UK LP I'll pick it up for my own comparison.
