Toni,

Hejira and Out of the Woods are two of my desert island discs. Good choices!

Toni,

I just heard / learned of Amon Düül II and "Yeti" back in November. I heard them playing through a music store sound system and was really digging it. I thought it sounded a little like a young / early Getty Lee of RUSH. The clerk had just got the remastered seedee and also recommended CAN for similar psych rock.

How do you like the vinyl sound quality? The cd was $18 so I thought I would hold out and keep looking for used LP.

Thx
Kenreau

Hi kenreau,

the record set is a new TELDEC reissue from 1978.
The sound quality is surprisingly good, with "deep" bass and fine and detailed high frequencies.
Surfaces are immaculate without a single tick or pop.
Check out the 1970s original on Liberty Records too.

Regards Toni

I gave myself a present recently:
45rpm LPs: Basie Jam, Satchmo Plays King Oliver, Ella "Fine & Mellow" and "Ella & Oscar"
33rpm LPs: Clap Hands Here Comes Charlie, Ella sings Let No Man Write my Epitaph, new release of the original Blood Sweat & Tears, and a reissue of Chicago (the rock band, not the musical).

All great reissues, but the Red Bank Blues on Basie Jam is stunning - almost frightening. The Ella recordings are the best I've heard, and I thought I had heard them all.
