Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young Live at Fillmore East 1969 [Rhino Records] A nice surprise from the folks at Rhino in stunning sonics, Includes Acoustic and Electric sets and a stunning version of Neil's Down By The River!

Antonio Carlos Jobim Original Album Series [WARNER MUSIC/5 RBCDs in Mini LP cardboard in slipcase]. I spent a delightful morning listening to these 5 superbly remastered lesser known Jobim RBCDs. Very highest recommendation

 

[4-earredwonder]

Keith Jarrett ORIGINAL ALBUM SERIES [Atlantic Records/5 RBCDs in mini LP sleeves in slipcase] Early Jarrett before he transitioned to ECM Records

 

[The Rang]

Toyah - Anthem

Dwight Twilley - Twilley

The Soul Searchers - Salt of the Earth

The Toyah is a great album, includes a 2nd CD with live tracks, remixes etc., and a DVD

Twilley has some really good songs, sound is fine, not bad/not good. I like his stuff but still don’t quite get the adulation some feel for him.

The Soul Searchers album is very good as is the sound.

 

[The Rang]

Dwight Twilley - Scuba Divers

Another decent Twilley release from Iconoclassic. Some good pop songs here. Sound is kinda lo-fi to my ears but I suppose it suits the music.
Edit: forgot to mention, I almost like the Blueprint bonus tracks more than the final album.

A great album!

These MQA CD's sound great. I'm listening to them as regular CD's as I have no way to "unfold" them. They seem to have a bit more "analogue" sound than do other releases.

 

[par4ken]

This box set for "Cherry Red". Blown away by the first few tracks, Camel and (Mark 1) Deep Purple, Yes.

I totally agree with you. Lots of people on QQ like to debate the pros and cons of MQA, I don't.
I do know that they are re-mastered from some cat in Japan, I forget his name, he's always on the liner notes, mastered from DSD masters, whatever that means?
What I am trying to get at, is yes just as a RBCD, they sound really good as a level of care was put into them for release.
Japan was pumping them out pretty regular and that has slowed down now, due to the sale of MQA and others might say the demise.
Glad you like them as I do to.

There are several more MQA tiles that I have my eye on but they are becoming scarce so the price has gone away up. I do have Rare Earth "Get Ready" on order.

On the contrary, Par4ken, the prices of MQA CDs has come WAY down. Here is a list still available [well, not ALL as some are sold out] from CDJapan:

Yes good prices for sure but many titles show as "no longer available". I'll have to remember to look there first before looking someplace else!
