Jan playing solo piano. MQA layer being played. I like it!
Incredible sound but I’m sure this is down to the fastidious recording and mastering by 2L for this album. Recorded in DXD 24bit/352.8kHz

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here - CD Discovery Edition - (2011)
Pink Floyd released their ninth studio album ‘Wish You Were Here’ today 12/09/75, in the UK. The album which explores themes of absence, the music business, and former band-mate Syd Barrett’s mental decline peaked at No.1 on both sides of the Atlantic and went on to spend a total of 84 weeks on the chart.

This Qobuz file is the best mastering I’ve heard. Not hires, or the Bob Ludwig of my cd as far as I can see.

Rolling Stones ‘Emotional Rescue’ on CD. Very far from their best but still a very enjoyable listen. I particularly like ‘Down in the hole’.

From September 1981, their peak acheivement, and one of the greatest double albums ever released. Steve Hillage is at the controls, and Derek Forbes ascends ever higher into the pantheon of bass guitar gods. They would never be this good again.
My original UK pressings, bought the day they came out. We’d just left school, and I remember buying this the day it came out. We played “Theme For Great Cities” about 20 times in a row that day.

Agreed. ‘Real to Real…’ also. The later stuff was never as interesting.

Albinoni, Pachelbel, Bach, Purcell, Vivaldi, Corelli, Locatelli. CD. Lovely.
I wonder if they could have imagined that their music would still be played over 300 yrs later.

Yes. Always a bit of an ‘in-betweener’ for me…but still great.

More Stones on CD, ‘Tattoo You’. Again, not up with their very very best but a great album nevertheless. Any other band might consider it a career peak.
