Davetik (Mapleshade). Looking at the Mapleshade site, it appears this is no longer available. Couldn't hurt to make contact.

Sound Roots- Andy McKee and Next. Same story, but you should contact the Mapleshade owner and recording engineer, Pierre Sprey, cause he is one of the best recording engineers working and he never uses dynamic compression that I can tell. Like, there is never a veil or window to have to lift or wipe. Imagery and resolution, air and space are so very clear and 3D tangible.

Ralph Towner: Blue Sun 1982

Nice CB. Had his 1st two LPs back in the day. Guess I need to restock them.

Thanks, by all means restock. Excellent stuff. I have most of his lp's and saw him about 15 times in concert, twice with The Mahavishnu Orchestra in '74 & '75 and with RTF a couple years ago.

That's a Towner lp I don't have. Want!
