Voltron Posted December 23, 2008 Report Posted December 23, 2008 Well, I had made certain assumptions based upon a thread that is no longer available (disappeared), but it does not seem to be known who is remastering these titles.
Voltron Posted December 23, 2008 Report Posted December 23, 2008 Just purchased from Acoustic Sounds: Muddy Waters Folk Singer 200 Gram Vinyl LP Shakey Jake Mouth Harp Blues 45 RPM Vinyl LP Lightnin' Hopkins Goin' Away 45 RPM Vinyl LP John Lee Hooker That's My Story 45 RPM Vinyl LP Neil Young Live at Fillmore East 200 Gram Vinyl LP Van Morrison Moondance 180 Gram Vinyl LP (Preorder) Blue Christmas to me!
Salt Peanuts Posted December 23, 2008 Report Posted December 23, 2008 A used copy of Bud Powell's The Complete Blue Note & Roost Recordings box set, pre-RVG remasters. Let's hope that it arrives safe and sound.
jp11801 Posted December 23, 2008 Report Posted December 23, 2008 a bunch of steeplechase jazz records great stuff when you find them Chet Baker Jackie McClean Niels Pedersen ( my fav bass player) Boulou Ferre Quartet (great acoustic guitar)
Voltron Posted December 23, 2008 Report Posted December 23, 2008 I kinda like that BFQ record myself! Helping me forget that I have misplaced my Manitas de Plata CD.
catscratch Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 "Soundscapes and Modern Tales" by Shulman. Wow, this is some serious electronica. Very much in the vein of Shpongle's "Are You Shpongled?" though perhaps with somewhat more melody. Still, there's the same sense of utter psychedelic chaos that assembles itself into catchy infections rhythms and grooves, melodies that sporadically apear out of the madness and swirl effortlessly into the mix, and layers upon layers of hidden inner meaning. It will take me weeks of listening to disect all of this stuff. Needless to say, I like it a lot. Time to check out the rest of the discography.
Dusty Chalk Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 Damn, you make that sound really appealing... (wanders off to check it out)

jp11801 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 Deadly week for me, do not read the Hoffman music forums in the vicinity of your credit card. I subscribed to the Music Matters Blue Note 45 RPM series, ordered the Miles Davis Analogue Productions 45 RPM box set and picked up a copy of the Beatles White Album on the advice of the guys over at the Analog Room in San Jose.
Dusty Chalk Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 Yeah, they're good at that. That's one reason you won't see me over there much.

I've got a real itchy finger for that Miles Davis box. I really want it but its hard to stomach dropping $300 like that. Easier to space it out over a few months.

postjack Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 Elusive Disc has a 10% off coupon if that makes it easier it made it a little easier. box has been ordered. don't know if you are aware but they are doing a Bill Evans one as well. I'm definitely getting that one too. In other purchases, I just got in the Death Magnetic 5x45RPM vinyl box.
guzziguy Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 Bag's Groove CD from Border's. They are currently having a 30% off sale of all CDs and DVDs. Blue Moods Heard this playing at a friend's house on NY Eve. Liked the music but the system wasn't enough to reveal the quality of the recording. Ordered from CD Universe.
jp11801 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) it made it a little easier. box has been ordered. don't know if you are aware but they are doing a Bill Evans one as well. I'm definitely getting that one too. In other purchases, I just got in the Death Magnetic 5x45RPM vinyl box. Damn you Postjack I'm going to have to get the Evans box! Has there been a release date announced yet. How is Death Magnetic, I had not heard great things about the LPs? Yesterday I picked up VanMorrison Moondance the Steve Hoffman mastered LP and David Bowie Hunky Dory on Simple Vinyl. They both sounded great but I think I like the Bowie better sonically not Moondance was bad (it's great) it is just that the Bowie album is superb. I just wish they had used better vinyl it is a bit noisy even after a good cleaning. Edited January 4, 2009 by jp11801

How is Death Magnetic, I had not heard great things about the LPs? Not sure on the release date for the Bill Evans box, but I'm pretty sure its a done deal. The DM Box pretty much sounds like shit, but I think they did a nice job with Hetfield's vocals. I just bought it because I really really like the album, and wanted to own the set since I own all the other Metallica original studio releases on vinyl, except St. Anger, which I pretend didn't happen.

postjack Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 St. Anger is better than Reload...and probably Load, too. really? i quite liked Load. i mean Load and Black Album are crushing disappointments compared to AJFA, but still I liked them. To me DM is the natural sequel to AJFA.
grawk Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 I pretend they broke up just before ...And Justice For All
grawk Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 Look at it from my perspective...listen to the albums that came before it, and then the travesty that was AJFA
