The Band released this album of rock'n'roll, blues, and r'n'b covers in 1973 as a sort of sabbatical from the pressure of producing all original songs. They poured their hearts into it -- every song gets an inspired performance. Great sound and Bob Ludwig disc mastering to boot! If you love real rock'n'roll don't miss this! The attached poster (not shown) of the Hawks hangin' round outside the pool hall is classic too.

Elvis Costello - My Aim Is True

MFSL 180g vinyl. OMG!! If you like Elvis Costello then buy this record!!
Amazing sound. Be advised though that the levels on this LP are a little
low and you will need to lean on your amp a little more than usual...but
the sound quality is immaculate and everything sounds just right. This
could be the best sounding LP I have bought in the last few months.

Ben Webster - See You At The Fair

45RPM goodness from Analogue Productions on two 180g LPs. Marvelous!

The Chicago Transit Authority

Another nice job from Rhino on two 180g LPs.

The Stone Roses

20th Anniversary Edition 180g vinyl. Quite possibly the best Britpop album
ever recorded.

The Rolling Stones - A Bigger Bang

The Apples in Stereo - New Magnetic Wonder

Highly recommended for indie pop fans. Get it if you don't have it.

Roxy Music - Stranded

Capitol "From the Vault" series on 180g vinyl in a beautiful gatefold jacket.
Very nice. So far I couldn't be happier with these Roxy Music reissues.

Nick Lowe - Jesus of Cool

Yep Roc Records on two 180g LPs.

Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

200g vinyl from the Rhino 1970-1975 boxed set.

Poulenc: Concerto for Organ, Strings & Timpani / Concert champetre for Harpsichord & Orchestra
Preston, Previn, LSO
EMI

Verite du Clavecin
Works by Champion de Chambonnieres, Duphly & Scarlatti
Chapelin, harpsichord
Sarastro

... by the way, in TAS issue 17, page 4, Edward Mendelson joined the staff as a member of the
record reviewing team:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Mendelson

Quote from: Edward Mendelson, TAS 17, page 77

My first official act on joining this magazine was to play this record for HP, who immediately added it to his reference discs. It is beyond doubt the best-sounding harpsichord record ever made. Sarastro, a small french label which uses analogue tapes and 45-rpm pressings, made its debut with this disc, and for once, a record company got it right the first time around....

... those were the days.

The Decemberists - The Hazzards of Love

U2- War 2009 remastered edition on 180g vinyl. Remastering at BGM and directed by The Edge. Includes a booklet of pictures, lyrics and info about both the original and remastered editions

Very nice recording on quality vinyl.

Fever Tree - Fever Tree Sundazed reissue on 180 gram vinyl from the original analog tapes. This reissue is very good. The quality of the pressing is high--no surface noise, black background and great sound.

My Morning Jacket -- Evil Urges

This is a great indie rock album. I really like the way they incorporate the slide guitar into their music. James' lyrics are very spiritual.

Chicago Transit Authority-- Rhino remastered on 180g vinyl. Ths is an exceptional record and Rhino did a great job. Much better than the original which was mixed for AM radio.

Ian Anderson -- Walk into Light I was lucky to find a mint condition promo copy of the album in Reno last week.

Jethro Tull -- Minstrels in the Gallery

Have it on CD...didn't know it was available on vinyl. Time to spend a few $.

Yes indeed. I recently bought the Rhino remasters of Chicago Transit Authority and Chicago II on 180g vinyl and can give an enthusiastic thumbs up to them both.
