Listening now to this stereo/mono CD.

Sons Of Champlin/Loosen Up Naturally - Love this band, saw 'em many times live, always a great show! Their 1st album here I'd describe as psychedelic, jazz/rock. One of the SF bands that never achieved the success as some of the others but should have. Of course the SM3 treatment made it sound amazing!!! Listening to the song "Get High" the xylophone in the break floated around my living room, just mesmerizing. So it's that time again to turn down the lights, turn on the lava lamps, light some incense, spark up a fat one, set your mind free and let your freak flag fly! For your listening pleasure "Get High".

I wasn't aware of this particular album, listened to your clip, and it's right up my alley. Bill Champlin is super obviously. I found a used vinyl copy on ebay, we'll see how good their Very Good+ rating is on the media. Hard to find a good copy, seems it's totally out of print (vinyl), CD can be found, though I couldn't find the version you have.

Just out of curiosity, how does one go about adding these audio clips? I've not experienced this on other forums. Thx!

I'm curious as well. I've never done it.

I bought it several years ago but as many of the Japanese mini lp's they seem to go out of print pretty quick.

I put them in iTunes, from there I drag and drop to my desktop, drag and drop to my post, when finished with download click insert and there you have it. This is with a Mac I don't know if it's the same with PC. Hope that helps.

Here's a good value which also includes their 2nd and 3rd albums, all good. These were remastered by BGO who does a very good job with their reissues.

10cc/Bloody Tourists - Saw them at the Paramount in Portland, Oregon when they were touring in support of this album. Great concert, knocked my socks off, went home barefoot. So much fun listening to this through the SM3 which sounded really amazing!!! Not gonna post any songs as I'm sure most people are familiar with this and if not, shame on you!!!

 

[user 15634]

10cc/Ten Out Of 10 - Another great 10cc album, as they all are and should be given the Dolby Atmos treatment, I think! Again married with the SM3 sounded amazing!!! Here at the notel motel.

 

[Electric Moo]

I just put this on, bought it from Ike & got it signed at one of his gigs a few years ago. Amazing player, and a kickass show!!

Even more impressive when you realize he's playing all the bass parts on the Moog with his other hand.

Mastered by Brian Gardner at Bernie Grundman Mastering, LA

I just checked online & see he passed away in 2021. Man, what a shame. And what a career:

WHAM! THE FINAL [SONY K2 HD remaster/disc made in Japan] Exceptional remaster and much better than you think!

You're very welcome.

Thanks to @Uncle Obscure I found a copy of the Family Tree cd to buy. Lots of rave reviews,,,,1968 here I come!

 

[Uncle Obscure]

Let me know what you think!

 

[cbmmm3]

several versions of this CD in my library already but I just had to get this for disc 2 - Undressed Versions. What a wonderful musical experience. And the original release aint too shabby either

 

[cbmmm3]

1976 Charlie. This remaster turns the album into a gem. BTW - this is the original album cover, you are most likely familiar with a different cover.

 

[The Rang]

Ultravox - Rage In Eden

This was a blind buy (I might have heard The Voice back in the day but that’s it).
What a great album, presented beautifully on this 40th Anniversary box set. The SW remix, when compared to the original, is great.
The big surprise is the excellent Hammersmith Odeon concert on discs 4 & 5 which sounds amazing.
