Hi Slowgeezr, thanks for posting about the JitPS. I do have it in DSD and was wondering which vinyl pressing would be worth getting. So, you're saying the FIM pressing in the one to go for?

I think it sounds fantastic. Mine is the 33&1/3rpm version and I understand a 45rpm version was also made, but unlike some other albums that are available in both 45 and 33, I have no desire to buy the 45rpm version because of the sound quality of the one I have. Per the liner notes, the vinyl is his fifth and best version of the performance.

One of the best albums I own is Yo-Yo Ma play Ennio Morricone. k2 HD Version
I picked up the new vinyl album of Quentin Tarantino's, "The Hateful Eight" today. It is music composed and orchestrated by Ennio Morricone. I haven't even seen the movie or heard any of the soundtrack, just hoping this music has some of the magic of his earlier works. It's nice having a record shop about two miles from my home!
I think it's the best film Tarantino ever made. It's a homage to spaghetti westerns... in a way... although it's not really a western, just set in that time and place. It feels like he took some common elements and characters from spaghetti sub-genre - and condensed and compressed it all into one film, with a new twist.
Soundtrack for "The Hateful Eight" has some new melodies which bear a strong Morricone trademark, but you'll also hear his old works in it.

I'm a Tarantino film fan, like every one he made. What you describe is exactly what I was hoping for the music to be. Thanks!

Pat Methany Group, "Missouri, June 1979". BB Presents. This is one of two "bootleg" albums I picked up at Half Priced Books. There is no cover, just a thick plastic sleeve, which the record slides into. The vinyl is clear (no color) and the recording is decent, but not an "audiophile" recording. It's a live album and the group really lets go and seem to be having a lot of fun. Sound staging seems to vary a bit, but the music is there and good. I think I gave $9 for each album. On the plastic sleeve there is what appears to be Russian or Greek writing and it says it is licensed by Alfa/RVI, Tokyo - limited edition 500 copies. I read on one site that this is a bootleg of a Warner Brothers promotional LP and was recorded at the Blue Note, NYC. Anyway, fun album.
Check The Great Silence / Il grande Silenzio soundtrack and film (try to watch it the same weekend with The Hateful Eight) :happy:

Back from a nice trip to Big Bend National Park and the first piece of vinyl I'm playing is the excellent Bonnie Raitt album, "The Lost Broadcast, Philadelphia 1972", put out by Let Them Eat Vinyl. Very well done live album. I recommend adding this one to your vinyl collection.
