The title track on that record is tremendous. Such a great groove. And when she belts out "Noooobody knows your melancholy miiiiiiind" --- good fucking Jesus it gives me chills.

Not Crap!

Mmmmm...David Essex doing "Rock On" doesn't sound at all dated.

Even if that's the only thing he ever did that caught on, for some reason that sounds like it could have been recorded last week.

yeah, i like heart's dreamboat annie.. i was surprised

Agree about “Riot” by Sly Stone … wasn’t Bobby Womack involved in that? Love the squelchy, rubber-band base sound, the frosty drums. Each instrument has got some unique little quirk, but that doesn’t isolate it, detract from the whole. Great, great record. I’m not a Beatles fan but I always thought their records sounded good, confident and direct. I think Steve’s recording of the Dirty 3’s “Ocean Songs” is gorgeous. It’s really dirty and muffled a lot of the time, but it has a magical quality it might not have if the instruments were cleaner and more separated. Really lo-fi stuff works sometimes too. There’s that version of “New Puritan” recorded in Mark E Smith’s living room, or “Spector V Rector,” a couple of my favourite early Fall tracks. I think they captured something on those that they didn’t on the more studio sounding recordings. A bit like someone’s personality often coming over better from a snapshot than from a posed photo. A lot of early rockabilly and 60’s/70’s reggae sounds great as well.

Most 60's - 70's pressings of the Beatles "With The Beatles" are spot ON.

After the LOVE disk, the whole catalogue cries out for re-mastering. . Let it be soon.

BACK IN BLACK.

Breach - It's Me God
I can't really describe why I love how this album sounds, but it's the best hardcore/metal sound I've ever heard. So abrasive, so dirty ans so powerful.

Shora - Malval
When I listen to this album, it sounds like the band is playing right next to me.

Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
It's perfectly recorded. Simple and spot on.

Mile Davis - Kind Of Blue

Def Leppard - Hysteria

Yo!

EA forumist Hip Priest was kind enough to send me the 'deluxe edition' (two CD).

It's unopened.

Say the word and it's yours.

Yeah, that was my first thought as well.
