There are 6 versions of the recording. The one that Stevie got on cd was made from a copy by someone at Warners of the 30ips 1/4 inch tape. The first copies were supposedly all pulled by WB in the US but some leaked out however WB sneakly sent them to Europe for release over here. Check your cd’s if the matrix ends in 021 02 then it is an analogue copy so go out and buy another one. Stevie Wonder also got a copy of the mixes from a Sony PCM F1 as Nichols I believe had the first of those in the US.

I have two Target discs. One Japanese 32XD and the other is a Wesr German and the matrix ends in 021 03 which is a later version. I also have the DVD-A

I think I’ve said this here before, but after my wife died it took me a while to feel I could listen to Magic and Loss, but when I did it was part of the healing process.

This might seem a bit plastic pop, but it’s rather enjoyable.

Coming up to its fortieth birthday, what a glorious sounding recording this is. My Audirvana+ analysis shows a DR of 18 and dynamic range of 6.5db.

Destroyer - Poison Season. I’ve not played this for a bit, as I tend to get drawn to their album before this, Kaputt, but listening to it now I think I’ll be playing it more often.

@ewemon Played this yesterday I’m belatedly going along with the flow, a very fine British blues band IMO who sadly never made it.
