As we all jazz lovers know everybody want to be a cat

That's the reason we love them

Thanks

My cat, a long hair black old lady, disappeared one night. Everything as usual, she wanted to go outside so I opened the door, expecting to see her in the morning. I never saw her again, I think she went to die somewhere far from me, this is a different attitude of cats compared to humans. I still miss her.

Like girls...

Zip cover, US pressing

Yeah, Atlantic Records were awful. BUT when the original stereo tapes are in masterful hands, the results are usually great. Who said: It's all in the mastering?

And what about some blues records with guitar on left channel and voice on right one, like Lighting Hopkins' Prestige and Bluesville, if you don't have a mono button on your amp, you're fuc***! Agree.

BTW all the early Pink Floyd albums are better in mono, IMO. Overall I think that most sound engineers handled stereo after a lot of mistakes, particularly in rock records.

The one's made by George Martin's son?

I prefer the mono version of Sgt Pepper compared to the stereo, never heard a remix.

Always loved this one

Original Mono.

A Ryko reissue, coloured vinyl, some bonus tracks, going on sale, I keep my old pressing. I admit Bowie, like Genesis, wasn't my cup of tea then, nor he's now.

Speaker Corner reissue

Little girls and me, at least. I always thought Ringo was/is a great drummer, I thought the same of Paul McCartney on bass. They were not just the rhythm section of the Beatles, actually I don't think the Beatles had a rhythm section at all.

Parlophono, mono.

Old Parlophone mono, with the fair amount of noise, pops and clicks, the real way to listen to early Beatles, IMO.

The Beatles' White Album, Mobile Fidelity reissue.

You never find such things on Braxton's cover, I presume.

Japanese pressing

All Transatlantic of Pentangle (and family) I've got are marvellous sounding, agree about crisper and polite, the white label's are less relaxed then later pressings/issues, that I find a little dull

That guy, whoever's name, knew what he was doing. I find the twoofers' sound excellent, it was my introducion to a lot of new music, maybe I am not really impartial about it.

Is it a transatlantic white label? I've got great sounding records of Pentangle, Renbourn and Jansch.

Wow! Thanks.
