I've got to follow up on this.  Warnes' "The Hunter" has been alongside "Famous Blue Raincoat" and "The Well"  as her standout albums for quite some time.  And every piece of equipment I've ever auditioned has eventually played pieces from it. 
But the music on the 180g LP remastered by Bernie Grundman studios is on a different level.  If this isn't the finest recording I have, it's clearly in the top few.  Ok, it's not especially cheap, but it was well worth the price to my old ears. 

Got a spare $35-40?  You won't be sorry.

The Art of Pablo Casals     on RCA  shaded dog from  1964.  This is a compilation of short pieces Casals recorded in 1926-1928 from the vaults of Radio Corporation of America.  Soulful playing if limited by the recording methods of the day.

Roger Waters: US & Them, Hyde Park London July 6, 2018



Columbia 2 CD Set

Well this is the most disappoint recording I have bought in a long time. It is  pressed manufactured CDs on a professionally printed Digpak with Columbia Records logos and copyrights all over it. So I assumed it was an officially released commercial recording. WRONG!

This is a bootlegged audience recording, and not even a very good one at that. It captures the event OK but with mediocre SQ at best. It made my main system sound like a cheap clock radio.

And in my house there aren't many things that are a bigger no-no than bad sounding Pink Floyd.

I had to play some of this, if for nothing else but to clean the aural sh#t out of my ears from that last CD.

I must 20 different Brubeck albums, but I don't have that one.  How does it compare?
