Nirvana - Nevermind

This was my first listen to a Nirvana album

and I really enjoyed it. One of my first thoughts was that it had a Foo Fighters sound and then

, I realized that it is Foo Fighters that have a Nirvana sound to some of its music. As many or most of you know, this is a great album and I am glad I added it to my collection.

The Fabulous Wailers

The Northwest's dominant rock n roll band in the late 50's and 60's. Tall Cool One was a national hit in 1959 and they cut the definitive version of Louie Louie. Nothing but pure fun

And then late yesterday afternoon/early evening before the Ian Anderson concert we listened to

Jethro Tull This Was; Stand Up; Aqualung; Benefit; Songs from the Wood

The concert was incredible.

Hi Toni,

Thanks for the links. It was an interesting read, but I disagree completely with Fremer's take on the DSD remasters (particulary Let It Bleed). He's entitled to his opinion of course. I'll continue to recommend the DSD remaster of Let It Bleed for a number of reasons: 1) I think it simply sounds better than the original, 2) It is a very low-noise pressing, 3) Finding near-mint, high quality originals is becoming both difficult and expensive. I only bought the London pressings that I have because an unexpected purchase of opportunity fell into my lap and the price was right. I'll will be listening to a UK DECCA pressing this Saturday so my opinion may be subject to change. But regardless of how that turns out I think the 180g DSD remaster is a fine sounding record.

Sly & The Family Stone - Greatest Hits

The CD version just never did these songs justice. While the jacket
is a little weathered the delectable piece of vinyl inside is in perfect
shape and sounds awesome.

J. Geils Band - Bloodshot

Atlantic red colored vinyl.

Brownsville Station - Yeah!

Alice Cooper - Killer

@Jerome,

I don't see any "complete disagreement".
Mr. Fremer pinpoints Bob Ludwig's DSD remaster with only minor,
subtle differences behind the UK Decca wide silver band original.

After seeing this comment I went back and re-read the entire article. I see your point. In fact, I am now having a hard time finding the precise comments in that article that provoked such as strong objection from me in the first place.

Dang, senility must be just around the corner for me.

Toni,

I was browsing through this thread and noticed that you have two different copies of Let It Bleed. One looks like a Decca UK pressing and the other a London label pressing that doesn't look familiar to me. Don't go out of your way, but if you have had occasion to compare the two would you mind sharing your thoughts about them. I'm curious.

Fair enough. Enjoying the music, after all, is the only thing that's important.

Well I'll be danged, I've got every one of those Tull LPs too except "Stand Up". Usually I have no idea what ya'll are talking about.

It's a good thing I heard Sabbath's music before seeing that album cover. Yikes!

Their first self-titled LP cover is really creepy. Sorry, but I don't have the artwork to attach. This reminds me to ask, where do you all get the nice album artwork and post it here? Do you need to drop it into the AC gallery first?

Thx

I've got most of the Sabbath LPs, but yeah the 1st one is better. I guess it's supposed to be a witch or something. I always think of Cheech Marin when I see the Paranoid cover.

The interwebs have all sorts of album covers. Any link to a JPEG\GIF etc. you can stick between two [img] tags will work.

A few clicks with Google image search and you're good to go.

I scan my album covers using a flatbed scanner and Adobe Photoshop. I then upload the scans in jpeg format to my website and use IMG tags when posting to imbed a HTTP link to the content. Most people who don't have their own website space probably use a free image hosting service such as Photobucket or put them in the AC gallery.
