on a scale of 1-11.......it's a "JackiE LEVEN" lmao

Just kidding of course..never heard it....just feeling a bit witty.

It's excellent. Some fans consider it to be his best, but I like Night Lilies and maybe Forbidden Songs of the Dying West better.

Rolling Stones-Honk 3 cd set[bought it for the live disc and also since i'm a Stones completist]

 

[ar surround]

These two just arrived in the mailbox today:

By far the clearest and most detailed version of Petula Clark's Downtown that I've ever heard is on the 1963-64 disc. Even my Petula Clark loving, non-audiophile wife said, "That's really clear and you can hear all the instruments." And finally, after getting so Tired Of Waiting For It, a stereo (DES) version of the Kinks, Tired Of Waiting For You...a Kinks song that I never get Tired Of Hearing.

 

[ar surround]

Oh, and this one was in the box too:

It seems that my interests in music are going back in time rather than ahead. Sorry Ms. Swift.

AR, if you're a Petula Clark Fan, you might like this Stereo SACD: https://www.hraudio.net/showmusic.php?title=6279#tracks

Thanks, Ralph. Unfortunately, highfidelityreview.com said:

"Kiss Me Goodbye features the original versions of all of Petula Clark’s big hits. However, listening to the SACD leaves me with the impression that the remastering engineer didn’t have access to the original master tapes for this release. As a result, I think listeners will find that sonically this SACD sounds very close to the CD version of these hits rather than offering the sonic improvements we’ve heard in some of Top Music’s earlier SACD releases."

So I think I won't be buying this particular SACD. Besides, it's my wife who is the Petula uberfan.

OK, AR ...... I think it sounds great but who am I. Besides, it's OOP anyway and would probably not be worth the trouble....nor expense!

I have this as I am a fan of her music. But I remember not being blown away with the sound when I played it. Been a few years I don't even know where the disc is.....
She is still performing......

King Crimson Live in Newcastle, Bert Lams/Fabio Mittino Movimenti both arrived in the mail today.
I am on the fence about ordering Bonerama Plays Zeppelin. Love the horns, but to put it in perspective, the best review I have ever read about Bonerama "Mark Mullins the Michael Jordan of Basketball on trombone ... the Michael Jordan of Baseball on vocals".

Ralph, Who Am I is a song on the album. Did you think I wouldn't catch that? Stuff seems to be only OOP if I want it, so it figures that one can find it here for $35:

It might be a nice gift for your wife and that's about what I paid for it. Perhaps the next time Elusive Discs has one of their 10% off sales would be an opportune time to order it.

My wife would rather recommend something that comes from a florist...or better yet, bling!
