And, just ran the DR app on my rip and it's good. It does just sound great. After de-clicking, it sounds amazing. Nearly perfect...

Me too my man. I forgot how much I love this album....at least for me...every song is a hit. We used to play cassette of the LP that we copied. Fun times.....

Hi all
Its little old me back on my recent soapbox...
I thought its best if I keep my thoughts to this thread as its stereo in its concept but nearly full surround in how I'm ripping and playing it!! Via JRiver
Playing one of my all time favourite albums
The Band - The Brown Album

This was the second album I bought way back when..blimey its 50 years ago it was released, and 49 years ago when I got mine!!
Will it get a anniversary surround release this year?

It just has everything going on that I look for in a bands abilities.
The musicianship
The eye watering vocals
The writing
The recording

This one:

Just utterly fantastic!!

Here is another. I bought this LP purely by chance in 1974
Loved it ever since
Not a household name here in the UK
But I'm a fan of his

Ben Sidran
Don't let go

Soooooo groovy and cool

When I think of movie soundtracks...the Big Chill and Easy Rider come to mind...of course there are the Quentin Tarantino films....
