Listening again to Hank Mobley "Workout" Blue Note Japan RVG LP facsimile cd. Listening yesterday led me to remember how often my best and oldest friend and I listened to this in the early 'nineties and marveled at the music and the sound. That's what I love about the quality of my system--I can instantly connect to memories and the music, the better the system becomes the deeper and faster the connection. Reminding me yes, I'm an audiophile, but I really am driven by music. I don't know what I would do without music in my life. I'd be someone completely different, that's certain. .. .

It is Brad. Thanks! I added to our PM thread.

Hank Mobley "Workout" Blue Note Japan RVG lp facsimile cd

PM answered. Just a note to the thread: I'm not sure that a bonus disc came with this release but if it did it is not for sale at this time.

"Blue and Sentimental," Ike Quebec Japanese RVG lp facsimile Blue Note cd. Man this sounds great! I hadn't heard the album in a while, and it deserves the fine reputation it has. I am really growing fond of these Japanese RVGs as my system really likes them these days, and I've been lucky to get about a dozen this year for good prices. A few have covers beat up a bit but I don't care. The sound is what I'm after. Looking for more. . . I have exactly 40 in the LP facsimile fashion right now, a few more later reissues in jewel case.

Should appeal, when used properly, to audiophiles as well.

Wayne Shorter "Adam's Apple" Blue Note Japan RVG lp facsimile. Love the sound of this disc. The music is great, one of my favorite Shorter album

Well, I don't experience things the same way as many there do. I honestly think some of them look at a waveform and form an opinion that tells them what they hear rather than experiencing what they hear. You're right, many there are dismissive of these. I and a few others have enjoyed them. To me I can get them at certain volume level and they really come alive and they sound to me the way that I remember hearing these (Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna, Quicksilver Messenger Service) in the 'seventies at parties and at a friend's house who had big JBL speakers and a really good turntable and reel-to-reel. Really brings back "that" sound to me on my system. So I enjoy them. . . I tried one or two and then bought the complete series of those three artists. We're all different, all our rooms and systems and tastes are different, and I don't just take what Hoffmanites say for the s'truth.

I believe they are licensed. The sound works for rock music imo. Would be interesting to see what they did with jazz.

Eric Dolphy "The Illinois Concert" Blue Note cd

Keith Jarrett "Always Let me Go" ECM disc 2 Eric Dolphy "Other Aspects" Blue Note

Cassandra Wilson "Belly of the Blues"

Al and I are Facebook friends (and a mutual friend of ours there) and he seems to be fine, if not posting at organissimo.

I have a musician friend in Austin, trumpeter and pianist Mel Winters, whose father led a territory band in San Antonio and environs for decades and hired the Caceres brothers so often that he knew them as Uncle Ernie and Uncle Emilio. Says they were really nice and kind gentlemen.

I see they have released a late Donald Byrd on LP. I have their Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna and Quicksilver Messenger Service LP facsimile releases. I like the sound but they are loud, compressed. Works for these rock acts on my system. Not sure how they would work with jazz titles.

Right now, Japanese Blue Note RVG lp facsimile cd: Ike Quebec, "You Must Believe in Spring"

Finally had a day to myself after a week of Lucy being off work and full of first anxiety and then grief over her sister's hospitalization and passing. Sigh. It's tough. We're both now at an age where family members and friends are leaving us. It's something you don't want to get used to. I had an issue with one silver wire I use as a jumper to connect the ribbon tweeters on my speakers and replaced an internet bought cryo treated silver wire with Duelund silver hookup wire on both speakers, which made a subtle and interesting difference to the sound. It was a task necessarily done carefully and a bit stressfully, but I got it done. So I listened to a few cds that I know very well to assess the sound: Antonio Carlos Jobim "Stone Flower" CTI Supreme Series Blu-Spec CD from Japan Carmen McRae "Carmen Sings Monk" Sony Blu-Spec CD2 from Japan Then I listened to: Serge Chaloff "Blue Serge" TOCJ cd from Japan Duke Ellington "Soul Call" Verve Universal cd from Japan Keith Jarrett Trio "Bye Bye Blackbird" ECM cd What a relief it was to have music playing disc after disc. Couldn't chronicle it as it happened as I had a lap dog rather than a laptop. . . .

I honestly like it all, especially the Venus titles (and I'm NOT a Venus label fan) and the French releases. Definitely recommend: 1987 La note bleue (Ida) 1987 French Ballads (Ida) 1989 Wild Dogs of the Ruwenzori (Ida) 1990 Paris Moods (Alfa) 1991 Sanctuary (Ida) 1992 Dream time (Deux) 1993 Talisman (Ida) 1994 Le Ca: New York Romance (Venus) 1995 Passione (Venus)

Okay, I am seeing some of your points about the article as being off base, it's an article about one record label, and not film soundtracks or even early stereo recording in general. I was not addressing the thread as a whole. Discuss that all you wish, but don't expect more of that wiki article than it was designed to deliver. In that article they are taking about music intended to be released as commercial recordings on LP. Nothing whatsoever to do with film recording. Hope that's clear. I'm out of volleying back and forth. Yes.
