Stevie Ray Vaughn box set 45 rpm 5 lp list done

LOL.....

Judges rule that counts as one!

 

[Mike Lavigne]

ok, i'll play.

here are 5 reissues that come to mind at the moment that are definitely in the top tier. so my momentary top 5 if you will.....

-Ben Webster, at the Renaissance, AP Lp 45rpm 2 discs, S7646.

when I have visitors this is the record that people go simply nuts over (Georgia on my Mind). and you have to play it a bit loud since it's a live recording.

-Gounod 'Faust' and Bizet 'Carmen', original Classic Records 45 rpm 4 discs, LSC-2449. I also have the 45rpm Classic Clarity vinyl box set which I've never opened.

so many great tracks, amazingly wonderful full orchestral recording, a force of nature. I especially love disc 2, second track, 'funeral march of the marionette' (Hitchcock theme).

-Bruch, Scottish Fantasia, Hindsmith, Violin Concerto, Oistrakh, ORG, 45rpm Lp, 2 discs. I also have the Speakers Corner 33rpm Decca reissue and the Tape Project 15ips 1/4" reissue. all three are very good. in this case the 45 is slightly better than the 33, which is actually better than the tape.....go figure.

anyway......this one has a wonderful tone and is lovingly played. you melt into it.

-Weavers Reunion at Carnegie Hall, 1963. Classic Records 45rpm Lp box set. 6 discs.

super live recording, perfect really. and so dynamic. if your system can capture all the bass on this recording it will amaze you. and maybe the all-time 'imaging' standard. and it's great music (if you like folk music) wonderfully performed.

-The Royal Ballet Gala Performances, Ansermet. original Classic Records 45rpm 9 disc box set. the Classic 33rpm is also very very good (the CD is also very good), but the 45 is to die for.

a Kenneth Wilkinson Decca recording at his very best. you hear buses and the subway outside of hall in London where they were recorded. fantastic.

I couldn't argue with any of your choices Mike! In fact, anyone would be insane to!

People should by hook or crook wrangle a listen to the Tape Project's release of Bruch and Hindemith! While everyone plays the Bruch (perhaps because everyone wants to compare it to the Heifetz recording), I really love the sound and music on the other reel!

I've got the Clarity of the Gounod because Chad recently had it on sale but haven't opened it. Both the original and CR reissues go for big bucks on ePay now.

Weavers? 'Nuff said!
