Best Sounding LP's

I recently setup my LP playback system after a long break, and I have
really been enjoying listening to it. I notice a VAST difference in
the sound quality of various LP's, and I am interested in suggestions
for some good sounding LP's. I may end up trying to buy some of these
from Ebay, and I would really appreciate input. FWIW, I am mostly
interested in popular vocal music with a strong emotional quality.

My own nomination for the best sounding LP is Heart's first album.
WOW! Everytime I listen to it, I end up somewhere a million miles
away. Not sure how they did it, but the band, producer, and engineers
really deserve a pat on the back.

My recommendation should improve the sound of almost all your records.
A record cleaning machine, such as the VPI.
I consider it one of my best sounding pieces of audio equipment!

Good luck, Brian

Do you own the VPI, Art? I'm wondering, because after more than 20 years, my
Nitty Gritty is really showing signs of dying, and I'm thinking about getting
something new. I've been researching this a little, but I've found few people
that can compare one to the other, since most people pretty much buy one and
stick with it.

I don't want to buy another Nitty Gritty, because I dislike the way the plastic
clamp keeps coming apart, even though I've taken it back to Nitty Gritty a
couple of times to fix/replace it (the company is located nearby). I would
also prefer having a flat 12" platter, like on the VPI, to place the record
while scrubbing, even though some people say it's not good to have this because
it pollutes the entire side of the record. (The Nitty Gritty's platform is
basically the size of a record label, which keeps the down side clean while
scrubbing the other side. However, the record wiggles and flops around too
much if you really have to scrub. If you use the Disc Doctor in conjunction
with a record cleaning machine, you'll know what I mean.)

Marc, I've owned a VPI 16.5 RCM for about 10 years, and it is built like a
tank. I've virtually had no maintenance or replacement problems with it and
the only think I've ever added to it is a 2nd wand (cf. below) and a
replacement of the "mat" that comes with it after the original wore out. It
may interest you to know that I follow the Disc Doctor protocol and use both
products together. And yes, it is very easy to clean records right on the VPI
RCM's 12" platter with a DD brush and cleaning solution. I use one brush and
DD cleaner as directed by DD, then clean it off with the first wand, then apply
the distilled water rinse with the 2nd DD brush, and then dry the record with
the 2nd VPI wand. This combination of using the DD brushes for
cleaning/rinsing and the VPI RCM for drying both the cleaned record and the
rinsed record seems to work fine.

As for the listener's question about fine sounding LP's, depending on one's
musical tastes, I'd certainly recommend getting some Sheffield direct-to-disc
records on eBay. Most of them are not too expensive, and they are generally
considered among the best sounding LPs ever made. (I like the famous Thelma
Houston disc - I've Got the Music In Me, and for jazz lovers, it's hard to beat
the Harry James big band showpieces).

That's exactly what I needed to hear. It's the 16.5 for me! Thanks, Doc!

I've had good luck with the Nautilus Half-Speed Masters, too. The Police's
Ghost In The Machine is very clean and natural-sounding, with virtually no
surface noise, even after twenty years. I also like the Opus 3 LPs, but the
performances and performers tend to be of the somewhat obscure variety. I also
agree that MFSLs are hit-and-miss and generally overrated.

I'll second that recommendation. The Eric Bibb album is very good, and one of
my favorite folk music records. I've also got some nice Opus 3 LPs featuring,
unfortunately, some rather obscure jazz combos, but are highly listenable.

I get very specific visuals of life in Scandinavia during the winter when I
listen to it. It's pretty amazing music.

Also, Opus 3 CDs sound pretty good, but not as good as the LPs.

Here is a short list off the top of my head.

Simon and Garfunkel Book Ends Original pressing.

Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy later U.S. pressing with GP written in the dead
wax.

Donovan A gift from a flower to a Garden. Original Epic stereo

Genesis Tresspass. Japanese pressing

Grateful Dead American Beauty original US pressing

These are just a few that are easy to find for the most part.

As for audiophile reissues I would say that MFSL is hit and miss and tend to be
way over priced. Classics are mostly excellent but they have a few turkies as
well. And DCC when you can find them are consistantly excellent. Speakers
Corner reissues are also excellent. EMI Century reissues are usually good and
the EMI millenium reissues are usually bad. Simply Vinyl varies widely from
title to title.

Then ther is classical and Jazz and other genres. Books have been written on
the subject.

That Heart album does really sound good, doesn't it?

My best sounding LPs are as follows:

Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances/Vocalise, recorded by Donald Johanson and the
Dallas S.O., on the Athena label. This is by far the best sounding LP I've
heard. Incredible dynamics.

Sonny Rollins' Way Out West. Shelly Manne's drum kit sounds absolutely real to
me, especially the ride cymbal.

Tsuyushi Yamamoto's Midnight Sugar, on the Three Blind Mice label. Most
realistic piano I've heard on a recording.

Thomas Dolby's The Flat Earth. I know it's mostly synthesizers, but the detail
is incredible, and it sounds clean and punchy.

The Minutemen's Double Nickels On The Dime. One of the greatest rock albums of
all time. The recording is minimalist, as it should be for a rock trio, but it
sounds very, very realistic.

I also have an original Parlophone UK pressing of Sgt. Pepper (not the mono,
unfortunately), and I continue to be amazed at how good it sounds, especially
when compared to other Beatles LPs.

There are many, many more.

Of course, a lot of this depends on musical tastes, but here are a few of my
favorite nominations, from different genres, for best sounding LPs:

Classical:

(1) Fremaux, Birmingham Symphony, Saint-Saens Symphony No. 3 (The "Organ"
Symphony) - on a Klavier Heavy Vinyl release/reissue (if you can't find or
afford the original). Awe-inspiring with great dynamics. As an aside, the
famous melody from this work was heard throughout the soundtrack of "Babe" -
lol.

(2) L.A. Philharmonic, Various selections by Wagner, on a Sheffield
Direct-to-Disc LP - got a Grammy award for engineering excellence when
originally released. Wait until you hear Ride of the Valkyries on this one!

Jazz:

(1) Dave Brubeck - Take Five - on a Columbia Six-Eye, or if too hard to find,
the Classic Records reissue of this jazz classic is excellent.

(2) Any of the 3 Harry James big band LP's on Sheffield Direct-to-Disc LPs - I
like King James version best, but all are exceptional, and you'll think the
musicians are in the room!

(3) Bill Berry - For Duke - on M&K - another fabulous and justly well known
direct-to-disc classic with staggering sonics.

(4) Manhattan Transfer - Live! - on Mobile Fidelity. (Most of the Manhattan
Transfer recordings, even in their non-MoFi versions, are very well done).

(5) L.A. Four - Pavane Pour Une Infante Defunte - on East Wind Direct to Disc
LP - one of the best sounding direct to disc LPs you will ever hear, and worth
what you have to pay for it :) Mostly brazilian music such as Black Orpheus,
and if you like this you might also want try and find a copy on Verve of "Jazz
Samba" with Stan Getz & Charlie Byrd.

Popular:

(1) Eric Clapton - Unplugged (my copy is on German vinyl) - very realistic,
live recording.

(2) Muddy Waters - Folk Singer - on Mobile Fidelity - one of the best sounding
blues records you will ever hear. Unfortunately, the high demand has driven up
the price for this, but if you hear it and want a truly great listening
experience, you might be tempted to search for a reasonably priced copy.

(3) Soundtrack - Cat People (a Georgio Moroder score), and a hair raising
performance by David Bowie of "Putting Out the Fire With Gasoline". Very dark,
dynamic music that richly conveys the themes of the film. When I was first
trying to decide if purchasing electrostatics would be OK with pulsating,
driving, dynamic music, this was one of the LPs used for a test. I now own
Martin Logans - 'nuff said.

(4) And for something completely different, the Ry Cooder recording of "Jazz".
An unusual collection of different musical instruments, ragtime, slide guitar -
hard to categorize, but Ry Cooder is worth hearing on just about *any* of his
LPs (Chicken Skin Music is also highly recommended). Unless you've won a
lottery, you won't be able to afford the Mobile Fidelity version of "Jazz" ,
but the everyday Warner Bros. version is very good sounding.

(5) Rickie Lee Jones - Try her first album "Rickie Lee Jones" or "Pop Pop" -
the latter is very closely miked, very intimate, and is very well recorded.

They then try to shill for their products on NGs even after being continually

Your inability to comprehend English is duly noted. I'd suggest you try and
get some help for your latest set of delusions.
And since you don't know much of anything about records, which complements
nicely your lack of knowledge about how to successfully design or market
loudspeakers, perhaps you should consider taking up a less demanding topic to
discuss - such as your contributions to meaningful conversation on newsgroups.

Of course, "experts" like Singh also think their speakers (and I use the word

No, I don't - not that it would matter to your delusional views of the audio
products that others own. I can't believe that either Gayle Sanders or Peter
Walker ever managed to design worthwhile productgs without consulting you.
Somehow they managed to make a go ot it.

So when can we expect glowing testimonials re. your speakers sold on Audiogon
for perhaps the cost of materials?

It's only a matter of time now. You don't want to admit to the
possibility that I may have one of the best sounding speakers on the
market because you're not really interested in good sound. You're too
busy buying brand names.

As you've already hesitatingly admitted, you don't know anything about me and
have never met me. Therefore, you have no idea about what I might or might not
believe or what I mght or might not buy?

You, on the other hand, as many on RAO have pointed out, have never been known
to concede that you don't know as much as you think you do about just about any
topic under discussion. I've never bought any audio product without making
extensive comparisons first. And in answer to your stupid assumption about my
buying habits, unlike the few suckers that you conned when selling gear, I'm
not a member of the "component of the month or year" club. I've owned the same
speakers, amplifier, etc. for a number of years and rarely upgrade pieces of my
system without a very good reason to do so. And when I *didd* own a pair of
Quad ESL 57's many years ago, I( certainly didn't buy them because of the
"brand name"; at the time I auditioned them, I knew very little about either
electrostatics or Quads specifically.

Sorry to shatter yet another of your wildly inaccurate false claims.

Bruce, if you owned ESL57s and "graduated" to Martin Logans then you
went in the wrong direction. ESL57s, withing their operating limits,
are bordering on perfect. Especially if you have some really good
electronics behind them, which, unfortunately, you probably didn't.
Now, I may be wrong and you may have a valid explanation for the reasons
for switching to Martin Logans, but I tend to doubt it. You may also
have had good sounding electronics at one time, but I tend to doubt that
too. You do listen to vinyl, which is certainly a step in the right
direction, but if I remember correctly you listen to it on a VPI, which
tends to produce fairly unexciting, uninvolving sound. But of course
VPI, like Martin Logan, reviews well, so you could see why I would say
that you're merely buying brand names. Moreover, you alluded to the
"research" you do before making a purchase, which presumably has to do
with finding out which brands are reviewed well. You're bitching about
me "not knowing what I'm talking about" is simply a weak defense
mechanism, because you couldn't last five minutes in an audio

actual listening comparisons. And of course, your comments about VPI

English turntables like Linn Sondek, which you probably favor (and probably
sold along with other English brands). But thanks for validating my previous
observation that you've been known to bash other brands simply to try and

Since you have been proven over and over again to be RAO's most widely despised

I've never claimed to be an audio manufacturer. You, on the other hand, have

dedicated to nothing more than the denial of individual differences in
selection oif audio equipment.

Why don't you and Greg get a room, Arny? You two obviously have a lot in

about audio, music, and products that very few people want.

Krueger likes to use cut-and-paste methodology to more efficiently repeat his

Why don't you and Greg get a room, Arny? You two obviously have a
lot in common - e.g. narcissistic posting, constant lying about what
others think and do, and of course, shameless attempts to promote
your self-serving propaganda about audio, music, and products that
very few people want.

Not you. That's for sure. Your sole purpose in being here is
either to shill for your speakers or fight with others.
That would be plural - purposes.

Of course, your

same time, correct?
This differs from you how, Bruce?

Kruger is once again lying and making things up, as is his custom. He asked
his insulting question, which is in itself a lie, simply to try and generate
flames in a discussion in which he was not previously involved. This is
typical Krueger behavior, i.e. interject insulting comments or questions in a
conversation not previously involving him.

Since you have been proven over and over again to be RAO's most
widely despised and hated poster for your lengthy history of
character assassination, lyiing about others, and smearing any and
all who disagree with you, your question is worthless, Arny. Your
hypocrisy in defense of Singh simply validates all the scorn you've
richly earned over the years on RAO.

Oh yes Bruce, you don't make anything audio to shill.
I've never claimed to be an audio manufacturer.
Doncha think this is a rather defensive response to a simple statement of
fact, Bruce?
No, Arny. But your delusional interpretation makes you appear even more
foolish than usual, doesn't it?
Post by Arny Krueger

You, on the other
hand, have constantly tried to spread your anti-preference,
anti-subjective opinion bullshit on RAO by making false claims about
your agenda-driven website dedicated to nothing more than the denial
of individual differences in selection oif audio equipment.

Just another answer of Arny's deceptive cut-and-paste repetitions of prevfious
lies.

The so-called "querstion" to which Krueger was referring was asked with no
answer either anticipated or wanted. Like his friend and ally, Singh, Krueger
asks questions only to perpetuate his usual personal insults in a different
grammatical form. It's typical of his transpareent dissemblikng, but fools
nobody.

Trots is so knowledgable about audio he can pass judgment on
equipment he has never heard, all he needs to know is the
country of origin. How can you compete with knowledge
like that?

If I've been tracking the story of ScottW, he's a guy who drives a pickup

No, I gave him a limited amount of credit for actually getting his hands

limited try. Who else?

Yup, a really brave dude. No name, no address, no job, big filthy mouth, and
red hot at making up photo-renditions of his make-believe world with

(1) Dave Brubeck - Take Five -
No such record.
Take Five (Columbia 31769)
Okay, it's really the Dave Brubeck Quartet...
Is that a single? I'm pretty sure Bruce was referring to LPs. Not that
you much give a shit about the facts, of course.

I do care about facts, which is why I posted the catalogue number.
Speaking of caring about facts, why did you say "no such record" if you
were sure Bruce was talking about an lp? Doesn't seem very rigorous to
make a blanket statement when a specific correction is called for.

Columbia 31769 is the hit single, a different performance from the one
on the "Time Out" album.

There's a new standard for argument: make up a mistake and bet someone
else made it.

Here's a quiz for Greg:

I'll bet you were one of those idiots who

a) rhyme ZZ Top's "Tush" with 'push'

b) refer to Sheryl Crow's "The First Cut Is The Deepest" as a 'Rod
Stewart song'

c) pronounce Kinksmen Ray and Dave's last name 'day-vees'

Well, to be fair to Greg, I did once write "the Talking Heads". In
Greg's world, this is a horrible sin, even though it was probably just
a "conversational" gaffe. Frankly, I have no idea whether or not I
*never* made that gaffe when announcing their music. I certainly
wasn't perfect in my announcing duties over the years. In thousands of
on-air hours, I'm sure I said things that anal fucks like Greg could
have called me on.

Frankly, a guy who didn't even know every single little detail about
King Crimson should probably turn in their Prog Card. Especially since
ScottW kicked his butt in that regard.

It's tough to be a casual Crimson fan. I saw the relatively recent Ian
McDonald obituaries and had to do research to figure out how the guy who
wrote about Shostakovich and the Beatles (odd enough to start with) was
involved with Quiet Sun and Manzanera but not Crimson and Foreigner.

Sorry, the King Crimsons and the Foreigners.

I have that album by the Talking Heads.

Have any more minutia to whine about?

No lying involved, but there's there's no use explaining why because you

(2) Muddy Waters - Folk Singer - on Mobile Fidelity - one of the best sounding
blues records you will ever hear. Unfortunately, the high demand has driven up
the price for this, but if you hear it and want a truly great listening
experience, you might be tempted to search for a reasonably priced copy.
I actually like my Chess pressing better than my MFSL.

Al Stewart Year of the Cat. See if Al Stewart's lisp comes through.
Post by BrianEWilliams
I recently setup my LP playback system after a long break, and I have
really been enjoying listening to it. I notice a VAST difference in
the sound quality of various LP's, and I am interested in suggestions
for some good sounding LP's. I may end up trying to buy some of these
from Ebay, and I would really appreciate input. FWIW, I am mostly
interested in popular vocal music with a strong emotional quality.
My own nomination for the best sounding LP is Heart's first album.
WOW! Everytime I listen to it, I end up somewhere a million miles
away. Not sure how they did it, but the band, producer, and engineers
really deserve a pat on the back.

Are you talking about the MFSL version? I've heard that a couple of times over
the years, and I loved it. I went on e-Bay, however, once or twice to find
one, and decent copies were going for a lot of money. Maybe an original
pressing sounds as good, if not better?

This is one of those albums (Columbia pressing - 1Cx, which I assume
is a pretty early pressing) that has sat unheard in my collection (you
might remember that I actually "inherited" a bunch of albums from an
errant roomie and this is one of them).

Wow.

Booker T. did a wonderful production job, espcecially with the
keyboards, which is a little of a surprise in the sense that the
keyboards are mixed back a little - almost perfect to my ear.

I seem to remember The Red Headed Stranger also sounding great, so I'm
going to have to pull that out and listen.

PS, I prefer the sound of Dog and Butterfly to Dreamboat Annie,
especially side 2 (side 1 has never done a lot for me songwise).
Dreamboat Annie always struck me a just a little too much of a good
thing, sonics-wise.

I should now make the requisite Hounds of Love Kate Bush reference.
Once again, side 2 is just extraordinary.

I haven't owned any Heart LPs for a long time, probably since I went through my
punk phase in the 80s and sold all my records that were "old school," a
decision I regret today. I always remember Little Queen as being my favorite
album, but I remember really liking the song "Dog and Butterfly." Dreamboat
Annie always sounded really good to me back then, especially "Magic Man."
Hell, "Magic Man" sounds good on my car radio.

Agreed. I have a really nice UK pressing of "The Dreaming," which I used to
use as a reference disc. It's a complex, cluttered mix, and can sound really
awful on inferior equipment. But with the right system, it's pretty awesome.

punk phase in the 80s and sold all my records that were "old school," a
decision I regret today. I always remember Little Queen as being my favorite
album, but I remember really liking the song "Dog and Butterfly." Dreamboat
Annie always sounded really good to me back then, especially "Magic Man."
Hell, "Magic Man" sounds good on my car radio.
The word I heard is that "Dreamboat Annie" was recorded in an old
recording studio in Seattle, with tube based equipment. I have no idea
if this is true or not. Both the Nautilus half-speed of "Dreamboat
Annie" and the CBS Mastersound of "Little Queen" are pretty good
sounding records.

I think that the thing that I have a problem with in terms of
Dreamboat Annie is the apparent overuse of the Aural Aphex Exciter,
which makes it sound good on the radio, but makes it sound a little
"overblown" on a good system.

However, I haven't heard it in a long time, so maybe I should go back
and reinvestigate it. I remember the impact that it made when it came
out of nowhere and I'm sure that I wore it out in the year or so after
its release.

Having just put on Little Queen, I still give the edge to Dog and
Butterfly.

"After being in Vancouver for a while, Flicker got wind that someone
was actually attempting to build a good studio in town. "The guy who
was building it basically had a broadcast studio in his mind with the
thought that someday it could also be a recording studio, but he was
building it properly. It was built halfway into a hillside, and he was
going to put some good equipment in there. Unfortunately, in midstream
he had some health problems and was forced to retire. So with help
from some investors we bought his half and then put together the first
16-track studio in Vancouver. Back then it was called Can Base Studios
[short for Canadian Base], which was the name of the investment
company. Later it became known as Mushroom Studios."

Flicker equipped the studio with an Ampex MM1000, 2-inch
16-track-"which is what we recorded Dreamboat Annie on," he says-and a
custom console "we bought in a fire sale from United Artists, when
they owned UA and Western Studios. They were putting in new
solid-state consoles and we bought one of their old tube boards from
United Studio A. That console is the guts of part of the front end of
the board that still sits in there after three or four different
reincarnations. It was a good console but only had 18 tube preamps."
The cinderblock studio room had a 20-foot ceiling, and Flicker notes
that "we were working on LEDE [Live End, Dead-End ] principles that
were popular at the time. The studio quickly became the hottest
recording room in town, and Flicker began to establish himself as a
draw to the studio as well".

Maybe I'll look for that CBS "Little Queen," then. Thanks!

This is one of those albums (Columbia pressing - 1Cx, which I assume
is a pretty early pressing) that has sat unheard in my collection (you
might remember that I actually "inherited" a bunch of albums from an
errant roomie and this is one of them).
Wow.
Booker T. did a wonderful production job, espcecially with the
keyboards, which is a little of a surprise in the sense that the
keyboards are mixed back a little - almost perfect to my ear.
I seem to remember The Red Headed Stranger also sounding great, so I'm
going to have to pull that out and listen.
Did it and found out that Stardust is quite a bit better. If you
hadn't heard Stardust recently, it would sound extremely good. Yet,
Stardust sounds so much more natural.

PS, I prefer the sound of Dog and Butterfly to Dreamboat Annie,
especially side 2 (side 1 has never done a lot for me songwise).
Dreamboat Annie always struck me a just a little too much of a good
thing, sonics-wise.
I haven't owned any Heart LPs for a long time, probably since I went through my
punk phase in the 80s and sold all my records that were "old school," a
decision I regret today. I always remember Little Queen as being my favorite
album, but I remember really liking the song "Dog and Butterfly." Dreamboat
Annie always sounded really good to me back then, especially "Magic Man."
Hell, "Magic Man" sounds good on my car radio.
When I inherited the large stash of LPs, I got a lot of things that I
had in my pre-punk days. You know, all of the Kansas albums - Ted
Nugent, Pat Travers, Journey, etc. Of course, I got a buttload of
half-speed mastered stuff and some choice classical stuff as well. But
i also got some things that might be considered "guilty pleasure"
stuff as well, like Heart, Loggins and Messina, etc. And I got almost
all of the Heart except for the first one, including a half-speed
mastered Little Queen, which I'm going to go put on and see if it's
worn well (I still love Barracuda <g>). Nada One/Mistral Wind are
worth the price of admission alone on Dog and Butterfly. I still like
calling side one the "Dog" side. <g>

I should now make the requisite Hounds of Love Kate Bush reference.
Once again, side 2 is just extraordinary.
Agreed. I have a really nice UK pressing of "The Dreaming," which I used to
use as a reference disc. It's a complex, cluttered mix, and can sound really
awful on inferior equipment. But with the right system, it's pretty awesome.
I've got a nice German pressing as well as a slightly battered US
pressing. Fortunately, I just replaced my trashed version of Hounds of
Love with a mint British marbled vinyl copy, a record that I'm playing
quite sparingly, thank you very much.

The dynamics on side two of Hounds of Love is are just amazing, and,
as you say about The Dreaming, quite cluttered at times. I love
listening to it on a rainy night at 1 am.

Actually, I think "Nada One/Mistral Wind" is the song I'm talking about,
instead of "Dog and Butterfly." Is that the long, almost epic-length song that
starts out all quiet and pretty and then turns into a balls-out rocker?

I recently setup my LP playback system after a long break, and I have
really been enjoying listening to it. I notice a VAST difference in
the sound quality of various LP's, and I am interested in suggestions
for some good sounding LP's. I may end up trying to buy some of these
from Ebay, and I would really appreciate input. FWIW, I am mostly
interested in popular vocal music with a strong emotional quality.
My own nomination for the best sounding LP is Heart's first album.
WOW! Everytime I listen to it, I end up somewhere a million miles
away. Not sure how they did it, but the band, producer, and engineers
really deserve a pat on the back.
Dude,

That's a great record. If you want to hear something that'll really
knock the socks of your ass, check out BACK IN BLACK on vinyl. I'm
tellin' you, it'll blow you away. If you want crunch, look no further.

Rock On,

There's a new release. Anyone heard it?
