  White Album - I have 4 copies and am not completely satisfied with any of them:
  1) My original US copy purchased 2/69 at a J.C. Penney's in Hanford CA. I love the sound of this version except that it has a few ticks here and there. I played this a lot on my "toy" record player so it's amazing it isn't trashed.

  2) UK reissue (Apple label - vintage unknown). Plays dead quiet but the sound is just good, not great.

  3) An orange label US copy I picked up for $2. Initially it was unlistenable so I used Go-Gone on it and it is very listenable. About like my original US.

  4) An early 80's US reissue (on Capitol with the black & rainbow label) recommended on Hoffman forum. My least favorite. Sounds like a CD to me, very clean and clean but no soundstage.

  The radio edit is the version you probably are familiar with, and it's better than the slower single edit.

      It sounds amazing. I used it to demonstrate a SET (300B eight watts per channel)system last night. My visitor likes modern music (techno, industrial, etc..) and this was perfect for him.

      He was stunned to hear how good and loud this album sounded with only eight watts...I had it good and loud, the sound was was crystal clear with very deep bass.

  His first album, fresh as the day it came out. I think he was lying about his age at the time, telling the press he was 17 when he was in his 20's. No matter, this is strong stuff...

  XTC from 1980, I missed listening to this one at the time, but just found a good used copy.
  Shankar from 1981 on ECM. First use of his custom-built 10-string double neck violin.

  On an Odyssey Lp. Budget vinyl maybe, but set this at the right volume and it is very impressive. I doubt this ever made it to CD. CBS/Sony/BMG have always been bad about reissuing much of the modern classical they recorded.

  Charlie Bird is a very pleasant musician, here he plays acoustic guitar with: Nat Adderly-cornet, Joe Byrd-electric bass, Johnny Rae-drums, Depo Indetto-percussion.

  This is one of my favorite albums of his, accessable and tunefull. I think Charlie Byrd is a gem who often plays other peoples music with terrific feeling - a class act IMO.

  It 'aint analog but I spend approximately 250+ stays a year in a hotel room so I gotta have something.

      Have you heard/do you have "That's It"? Grisman and Garcia jammin' on some Miles tunes. CD only but nice stuff. Another nice one is "Dawg '90" (no Garcia) again on CD only but his CDs are always a cut above.

        all of his stuff is desert island material. To really stress a CD based system...any of the Tone-poems...I like the first one the best but only a hair bit better than the rest.

        And although I don't play, I'd kill to have some of the instruments pictured in the CD booklets. I keep a pretty good Yamaha around for those who have fingers that aren't stuck up their noses. Mine? They're permanently stuck!

        "Hello, Ry...I have a 1937 Martin 000-45 and a 1937 National Style O steeltop that I'd love to hear you play...could you come over for dinner some evening?" (I cheated and got out the Tone Poem booklets).
