Listening now to this stereo/mono CD.

Stanley Turrentine - Common Touch

My first foray into these recent Blue Note UHQ CDs from Japan, mastered by Kevin Gray.
Good album but you really have to crank it (not a bad thing) for the sound to flesh out.
Will buy more, have a Lee Morgan on the way.
There are a bunch of these BN’s released…I fear I’m on the edge of falling into yet another rabbit hole LOL

The Complete Beach Boys 50 Greatest Hits CD​

Dwight Twilley - Wild Dogs

Unfortunate story behind this album as the label got caught up in a payola scandal just before its release torpedoing any chance of success.
It’s an OK album but nothing here that really sticks with me.
Wish I liked it more because of the original effort then, and now for Iconoclassic to give it another chance.

I love it when you go to the rack and pull out a selection you've not visited in Many years. And you push 'Play' and you just smile cuz its better than you remember !

I'm really enjoying the latest from Isaiah Collier, and it sounds spectacular through the Surround Master!

Enjoy listening.....

Peter Frampton - Frampton Forgets the Words

This very good album really highlights his underrated guitar playing.
Sounds kinda hazy and murky in places but maybe that’s the “sound” they were going for.

For some strange reason, i find myself jonesing for some Cheap Trick! This Rick Nielsen pick is PRICELESS! A true treasure in my collection!

The Neon Philharmonic - The Moth Confesses

Found this on a recent vacation, at a thrift shop in Pendleton OR of all places, for $1.
Ambitious and complex. It’s good but not surprised it wasn’t successful.
The sound is clear but thin, no bass.

Makes me realize I’ve completely lost touch with the Sundazed label. I used to buy lots from them.

Duke Jupiter - 1

Actually their third album despite the title. Solid early 80’s rock. Like so many other talented bands they never really took off but deserved to.
Hope Iconoclassic releases more from this band.
