Just got to ask, is take five available on SACD or other format that should sound better? It's not that my copy doesn't sound great, but I would like get the best I can for that recording.

 

[Grainger49]

Yes, I have it on Gold CD and SACD.  Not to mention the 4 LP 45 RPM set.

 

[4krow]

Sooold

 

[4krow]

  Heh, heh, just got 'Time Out' on SACD. Good lord, I may be late for work because of this. Boy that Dave Clark Five sure knows how to buzz. Heh heh, sorry Grainger, you kno that I can't resist! Bait anyone?

  P.S. thanks for leading to this great recording.

Dire Straits, Alchemy

Little Feat, everything when Lowell George was still kickin

The Moody Blues

These are my must haves.

 

[Wanderer]

Beetohovan, 9th Symphony, Herbert von Karajan, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, the 1962 recording on DG.  Herbie the K recorded the 9th a number of times but only the 1962 has the magic for me.   

J. S. Bach, Brandenburg Concertos, My fave on LP is Gustav Leonhardt leading Collegium Aureum on Harmonia Mundi.  On Nonesuch the Karl Ristenpart/Saar Chamber Orchestra is a decent runner up.  ( On CeeDy there are other choices) 

Frank Zappa, "Hot Rats", an original on the Bizarre label if you can dig one up.

Jethro Tull, "Minstrel in the Gallery" and/or "Songs from the Wood"

"Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall" fairly recent LP that has gone out of print but worth seeking out. 

Ella Fitzgerald, "Mack the Knife - Ella in Berlin"  on Verve. The scatting on "How High the Moon" is breathtaking!

   

 

[Grainger49]

I keep doing this, as I changed the font and color I chose "Biege" instead of "Blue" above in reply #22.  The text disappears.

 

[4krow]

The beginning of Love Over Gold has intrigued me. I listen as carefully as possible to hear that first tone or rumble. Love the album! Again, this will send me SACD hunting.

 

[Grainger49]

Is there an SACD of Love Over Gold?

 

[4krow]

So far, the ones that I looked at were like $90!!! Too afraid to see if they were SACD, but seems like they were. The regular ones were MUCH cheaper, so that's my guess. Man, it's just not worth it to me, and yet, I do have a couple of high priced SACD's in my collection. Patricia Barber comes to mind. I did hint to my son about a few choices for Fathers day. Let's see what happens.

 

[4krow]

Update. I just found an SACD for $50 on fleabay. Yah, believe me I still think that this close to absurd. I bought it because it is one of the VERY few albums that I would throw this kind of money at. Usually, I will pay about $30 for SACD, but this is also one of the new SHM SACD's from Japan and will ONLY play on an SACD player. I have never owned one before, so this will be a first.

 

[Grainger49]

I bough the other one that they had.  It will take 2 weeks coming from Japan.

Back to the subject at hand...

Last night we got together with some old friends, about 15 years younger.  I threw on a lot of vinyl.  Chicago Chicago Transit Authority, 180g remaster, Cowboy Junkies Trinity Sessions, D. Brubeck already mentioned, The Beatles Love, Santana MOFI Abraxis and Fleetwood Mac Fleetwood Mac and Rumours.

 

[4krow]

Grainger, You always bring me to a new train of music memory. This time, I was inspired to listen to Fleewood Mac, 'The Dance'. It seems to have it all for me.

Just got the reissue 200g lp of King Crimson In The Court of the Crimson King.  I couldn't be happier.  Any drummers out there I think should own this album.

 

[Grainger49]

I have a very old copy of this.  It is excellent.  And I was a drummer in the 60s.

 

[Downhome Upstate]

How about some Allman Brothers?  MoFi has some decent reissues.
