I love RAM so I had to have it. I haven't played it back to back with the stereo version but it does sound very good. Quote

I don't have the mono pressing of RAM, but I have the September 2014 mono reissues of the Beatles EMI/Parlophone albums. They are quite a revelation and have spoiled me compared to the stereo Capitol pressings we're all used to. The Mono remasters are richer, fuller, and have a powerful "in-the-room" presence. The cartridge stylus doesn't have to work as hard to extract the music as a stereo cartridge would. Edited April 11, 2019 by JohnnyB Quote

Things disappear through the years. I must have lost a box of albums in a move. Everything Works if You Let It is another great CT soundtrack song, up there with Reach Out and I Must be Dreamin' from the Heavy Metal soundtrack. 1 Quote

JohnnyB Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) In the aftermath of a crippling snowstorm this past February, I bought a used Jeep Grand Cherokee. Later I noticed that it had a CD slot in the radio panel, so I gathered up a couple handfuls of big band CDs from the house and started playing them when I'm running errands in the Jeep. Today I was having a lot of fun with Buddy Rich's "Big Swing Face," a live album of new charts generated for his newly formed band in 1966, a scant 53 years ago (but then, so is Revolver). One of my favorite cuts (and it's legendary among BR fans) is this rendition of Cole Porter's "Love for Sale." Pay attention to the break at 3:54 for the blistering single stroke roll that kicks off the final chorus. The crowd always went nuts when he did that. Edited May 18, 2019 by JohnnyB Make the wording gooder. 1 Quote

JohnnyB Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) A couple of tracks from a CD, Ray Sings, Basie Swings, that I've been playing when I'm driving. According to the Wikipedia entry for this recording: Quote "Ray Sings, Basie Swings" is a posthumous album that mixes previously unreleased Ray Charles vocal performances, recorded at live concerts in the mid-1970s, with newly recorded instrumental tracks by the contemporary Count Basie Orchestra. Quincy Jones did the arranging and conducting. Probably no one knew Basie's tempos and orchestrations like Quincy. He had joined Basie's band in mid-tour when he was 15! Drummer Butch Miles was Basie's drummer for several years, and also makes this album worth a listen. Edited May 1, 2019 by JohnnyB 2 Quote
gorch Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) Queen The Miracle rediscovered the other day, CD spinning in the car for about two weeks now. What's been the LP backside really has it, very classic Queen with lots of Deacy amp sounds to hear. Really love it. Tend to rewind from #7 or #8 til end. Title signaled what came aware shortly before the show had to go on. just ordered the original LP as I went for the CD at the time. Edited May 1, 2019 by gorch 1 Quote
