Which recordings do you miss most

Longer? time will be the judge.

The 200 gm audiofile lps are much better than anything made back in the vinyl days. Far better. And it's not my imagination, the cartridge is a better quality and that little phono preamp makes a big difference. Good point on the selective and smaller buying public making the product improve. CDs have been so mass marketted that the companies aren't satisfied at selling 500 million units at $15 a pop. In many (not all) cases, the quality is suffering. (this may make some cringe) To me, on a psychological level, cds have been lowered to the status of blank tapes.

BTW. I listened to a used, first printing 1972 copy of Yes "Close To The Edge" this afternoon that I bought Saturday for $7. That happens to be one of those albums that the remastered expensive copy I bought ended up in a used CD store. Just didn't do it for me. The vinyl...ahhhhh!

Season 3 Episode 2: Butternut Squash (4 x 4)

Tough talking macho cop, Jim Bergerac is on holiday and the Jersey police department have unwisely decided to allow the camp but musically talented Julian Lloyd Webber (Alexei Sayle) to head up operations. He soon has his work cut out when he is forced to interrupt a routine hypnosis session involving lunatic Jersey businessman Charlie Hungerford (Terence Alexander). Charlie has been trying to stop smoking but has inadvertantly been regressed to the age of 7 years old and is suffering from a life endangering panic attack. The only thing that can snap him out of it is a butternut squash and Julian has only 35 mins to get one. The fast paced action of the pair rushing all over Jersey in a souped up 4 wheel drive Subaru is beautifully balanced with tranquil shots of pre-war Strasbourg taken from Charlie's subconscious mind.

Orgy With Pigs-Magic without tears. Anyone who's got a copy of that wouldn't give it up without a fight.

I had a limited run CD of a seventies progressive album called "The Long Hello volume one", it was David Jackson, Guy Evans and Hugh Banton from Van Der Graaf Generator, along with some guitarist dude called er someone messina. Very, very good, canterburyis MOR elnglis jazz for the most part. Very atmosepheric, pastoral. I lent it to a guy I was in a band with, I got hoofed from the band in rather obnoxious circumstances, and never got the bloody thing back. Very annoying, it's one of my favourite albums ever. Would love to get another copy, but it's as rare as hen's teeth.

one of my high school music teachers told my class once about the nearly religious experience he had buying Deutsche Grammafone records because they felt like they were sacred. They were made really thick and always made of excellent quality. It changed the whole listening experience. I thought he was nuts unitl I got my hands on some, too.

Actually, their cds are made the same way. Not your regular sort of flopply junk.
