Listening now to this stereo/mono CD.

Tom Jones - Green, Green Grass of Home

Another good album, a few peppier songs than the previous release.

World of Epoch UK CD

Often, I'll listen to box sets over several days. A disc or two at a time, interspersed with other selections and genres. Today, I finished a couple box sets. So, I began these this morning or will this afternoon. All are second spins:

Sunrise & Salvation (Mercury Albums) - Spirit 8 CD half is unreleased!
5 Albums - Klaus Doldinger German 5 CD
Rockpalast '80, '83 & '90 - Jack Bruce German 5 CD/2 DVD
Original Mono Albums Collection (Columbia) - Miles Davis Czech 9 CD

Jethro Tull Rocks On The Road

 

[Blackwood]

Jethro Tull Rocks On The Road

Think I still have that one somewhere. If I recall, during one of the songs Ian mentioned something about the road crew liking one part of the song coming up... “the only reason they’re here” or something like that. Always strange what odd fragments gets lodged in one’s head.

Thanks
Double thanks actually.
First Amazon US order since November and by doing so with your suggestion I discovered I’ve unknowingly been paying $14.99 a month for Prime.
So many Amazon Canada lines on my VISA bill every month I didn’t notice. Musta ticked the wrong box or something. Got them to refund me 3 of the 4 charges and cancel the service.

Tom Jones - 13 Smash Hits

Despite what the album title implies, this isn’t a compilation. His renditions of hits of the era. Thankfully the strings and orchestration is toned down a bit.

Tom Jones - Delilah

Though I’m enjoying this box set, other than the occasional hit, these albums are kinda interchangeable.
I’ve noticed with all of these discs (so far) that while his voice is dead centre, most off the instruments lean way to the left resulting in a lopsided sound. My other player lets me output L+R, will see how that sounds.

Edit : L+R (ie mono) sounds flat, is robbed of ambience. Playing the L side out of both speakers (eliminating the R) strips away the strings and BVs along with some vocal ambiance.
Like it better that way.

Impera - Ghost
continuing w/Jack Bruce, Miles Davis, Klaus Doldinger & Spirit boxes

Beatles Red playing Blue again Here Comes The Sun

 

[The Rang]

Tom Jones - Help Yourself

Another good record, plenty to like here.

 

[The Rang]

Tom Jones - This Is Tom Jones

More zest, less verging on easy listening. Sounds more “stereo” which has me wondering if the prior albums were fake stereo converted from mono (if that’s possible).

Enjoying Aqualung.
