Hello all,
Just one of my Little Question.. Here it is: What is your prefered music album (CD or LP). You know that's the one that you will bring with you on a desert island. Of course this desert island must have electricity so you can use your Hi-Fi gear. ![]() |

I would have a hard time with that, but taking this logically, it would probably be Scritti Politti's "Songs To Remember", for me. Because as advertised, they are songs to remember. I bought it when it first came out, and its the only album from that period that I still listen to today. Its full of style, depth and soul. It has a bit of everything; jazz, funk, reggae, soul, pop, you name it. I have both the original LP and the original CD version, and of course, it would be the LP version for me. I've compared the two and there's no contest as to which is superior and more faithful and accurate to the original sound of the music. |

With those three I could like on a desert island, so long as my hut had walls and electricity. But wait, where's Beethoven? Where's Mozart? Where's the Beatles? Where's Louie? Where's...... |

And I'm a cat-lover. Enough said? 2) "The Harry Nilsson Anthology" on CD To my mind, perhaps the most underappreciated and creative pop/rock musician in the US over the last fifty years. Wears better than the Beatles, and that's saying a lot. Besides, I get to slip in two disks, this way..... :=) 3) "The Verdi Requiem" via Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra and Temple Choir on 7-1/2" open reel tape. Sublime and uplifting music and a superb performance. I never get tired of it. With those three I could like on a desert island, so long as my hut had walls and electricity.

Got the reissue that has the versions with and without the horns added plus some live performances. I've found some of the old FM stuff with Peter Green available for download at e-music. I've been downloading some stuff to compare CD vs. MP3 and can tell no difference. Hell, I can tell differences between various cd masterings of the same album.

Actually it was blind, I had my wife run the 2 sources, one a CD I owned and the other an MP3 of the same music burned to a CD. For my money Heifetz is the very best, I have a recording of him playing The Swan that will make grown men cry. On CD of course. CD's aren't "that" bad. Like any other source, only as good as the master, thte CD is just always going to be more faithful to that master and not have the added noise present on LP. |

But everybody's taste is different. Any comments on the work of Loris Tjeknavorian? I have enjoyed 2 works he did on the Chalfon label, Sheherazade and Beethoven Symphony No. 5 in C-minor, both on Chalfont LP's. |

Thanks for the recommendation John. I am familiar with the Durufle, but I can't recall which version I have. A wonderful piece of work as well.
