It sure is! Didn't watch much of the last season, but man there are some really funny moments in that series.

Yeah, the American one is supposed to be over the top I think. I really like it. Always have. Watching The Sarah Connor Chronicals, Second (final) Season. Pretty lightweight, but it's okay. I love Blu-Ray. Things look and sound so good.

If I had to buy a car and one that seats five, I'd go with the Chevy HHR. It's just . . . cool. Especially in the panel van (but that won't fit five, but it would be the one I'd buy.)

Hans, Deus, Okay. I have one system that is on the bright side here and these discs sound worse on that. Also a friend of mine's system that is bright these sound worse on. On my more neutral system it does not. That was what my comment meant. Nothing more than that. If one does have a bright system, I don't think this is the best choice.

This music is just incredible. The booklet is amazing. I am quite happy with the sound on these. I've worked hard to have a very flexible sound system and that has paid off for me. If you have a bright sounding system the Davies transfers on MOJ or HEP may be a better choice. At this price, and if you have a tone control, don't hesitate.

Intereting.

I suspect that like me he interpreted the statement on the invoices to mean that the backordered discs would not be filled and shipped. I have a number of duplicates as well because I ordered copies of items oldies did not ship in my first order. These are listed here: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...njazz@yahoo.com

I agree that the show is excellent in many ways, but I can't relax and enjoy the "rat pack" like behavior of the men and don't even find the women characters appealing. I'm not surprised I feel this way, and it really mars my enjoyment of an otherwise excellent show. Draper just becomes seedier and seedier to me and more repellent. I DON'T feel empathetic with the characters, that's the rub for me. More power to those that do, that's the missing element that would put me over the top in enjoyment, but I just can't or won't. I won't foul the waters of this thread with lots of posts as obviously this is an unpopular opinion. I'm still watching it, still feeling conflicted about it, enjoying it a bit less episode by episode.

You'd be surprised. . . I bet Jsngry would be interested in the sermons. I have Il Divo and Marc Anthony cds that are here for my girlfriend. . . I don't think anyone here would be too interested. . . .

I had to quote your response and then go to the blog page with the image to see it. No, I don't think it's your cup of tea. But the first two lps are really neat Hendrix-funk-something else. Nasty Gal is good too. I'm hoping that eventually Light in the Attic will reissue the "Crashin' from Passion" and "Hangin' out in Hollywood" material.

But. . if you did the right investigating, you'd know who she is!

Welcome Back! You were missed!

Just something I wonder about? Am I right or wrong to assume that the Dead were tossing around the "First there is a Mountain, then there is no Mountain, then there is" riff in jams, before the Allman Bros?

I agree. Here's hoping it has time to develop.

I believe there's a Cafe Society in Chicago NOW, but I didn't know there was one then. . . .

This week it's 240 from Amazon; went up ten bucks this week.

Wow, this is a convoluted thing, this MMT release. I don't hear any fake stereo on the stereo cd (but that is a weird sounding release in stereo or mono to me). Here's what wikipedia says: When standardising The Beatles' releases for Compact Disc in the late 1980s, the American LP version (which was imported into the UK, peaked on the British album charts at #31 as an American import, and was issued by[Parlophone Records in Britain in 1976) was included with the British album line-up instead of the British EP, with true stereo recordings replacing the earlier processed ones (except for the portion of "I Am the Walrus"). (The true-stereo version of the Magical Mystery Tour LP was first issued in Germany in 1971, but the 1976 Parlophone issue used the Capitol masters with the fake stereo.) Capitol quietly reissued the Magical Mystery Tour LP using the German masters in the US with catalogue number C1-48061 in true stereo. The remaining Beatles non-LP single sides were compiled in the two-volume Past Masters compilation.

Cool! I want the cd though. The first two released by Light in the Attic are awesome releases.

To be honest I haven't noticed much of a difference between them in dynamic range . . . .The punchiness is not so much dynamic range I don't think as a sort of full soundstage, full spectrum wave that seems more "forceful", maybe due to compression(?) Anyway, I really think only Beatleholics like JETman and those who just love the first records NEED the mono set. The stereos sound fantastic (though I haven't heard the first four albums in stereo form, yet).

I have some of the stereo, and over the last few nights have been able to hear a half a dozen of the mono discs, borrowed the mono set of a friend of a friend (literally). There IS less bass on the mono versions I've heard. Not that significant, but the bass lines are more clearly delineated in stereo and seem "louder." There are instances in the mono where in comparison to the stereo whole clusters of the instrumentation are "more distant" than in the stereo. What they do mention about the mono versions, that they have more punch, seems to me to be the most significant determining factor between them.

Thanks for posting that. Quite interesting.

Bruce, I'm so glad you're doing so well. Good to "see" you!

I just ordered this from HMV. Thanks for the heads up and the information.

Many many happy happy returns!

I've heard both. Markedly better? It does sound better, to me, not a huge improvement but noticeable.
