Hi Guido glad you included “Fragile” by Yes. Excellent album.
-
I bought New headphones for 900$ and I am happy I did it.I do not care about the lost money as long as it makes up in happines.
-
Wow, I don't disagree with any of these selections. They are all great and you motivate us to go out and get these records. They even sound good through the YouTube sonics.
-
You have terrific equipment - even on YouTube - the tracks sound magnificent
-
Earl Klugh - Heart String - is one of the first jazz albums I ever owned. Klugh is a wonderful guitarist. Roundabout is one of the greatest prog tunes ever! I love the backwards pianos in the beginning and Steve Howe's guitar and Chris Squire's bass are just stellar.... And you can't go wrong with anything Fagan....
-
Excellent video. Loved some of the albums especially the rock group YES. One of my personal favourites.
-
Awesome video! You passion for our hobby is infectious!

1972, I was 20 and liiving in Japan. I was a DJ in a very cool club in Osaka and all the touring bands would come thru after a show. I got to meet all the band from Yes, especially Rick Wakeman, who had just finished his first solo album. He was amazing, long blonde hair, flowing cape and more keyboards than anyone else. Awesome band live. Also met their cover artist, Roger Dean the same time. Fragile is extraordinary.

My dad bought the Thelma Houston & Pressure Cooker direct cut album and it sounded TERRIFIC back in the late 70s. I inherited it and it still sounds awesome almost 50 year later.
-
Beautifully produced video and explanations. Thanks for making the list available easily too!
-
Thanks I enjoyed this and dig all the selections for which I had one in my collection (Nightfly D.F.). I made list and will keep eye out for the rest !
-
Great material. Thanks for pulling this together and sharing your thoughts. Much appreciated!
-
Great video: Thelma Houston's I've Got The Music In Me was my first introduction to direct-to-disk and moving coil cartridges in the 70s and is now unobtainium ($$$) but the A Woman's Touch CD is highly musical and inexpensive. I enjoy Earl Klugh's Collaboration (with George Benson) and Low Ride, it took years to find on CD at a reasonable price. Enjoy!
-
You have excellent taste, sir, bravo!
-
I always gravitated around Serge’s records. You have convinced me now. 👌👏👍
-
What??? I can't stop smiling. I just watched this on my phone....amazing sound. I can't believe this. I can't imagine how it really sounds. Unreal.
-
Hi: Great video I have some of those lp's. Point of interest "Earl Klugh" - Klugh is actually pronounced "clue". Keep the videos coming!🙂
-
I have spent a good amount of cash based on your recommendations over the last couple of years - I do not regret any of the purchases!
-
Thanks for sharing these. Some are new to me and will seed my music explorations. For me, if I could only choose one LP, it would be Ry Cooder's Bop 'til You Drop. I love it for the writing, the performances and the superb recording. I have what must be the original pressing (1982, I think) and it sounds better today than most of my vinyl collection, including some brand new high fidelity pressings.
-
Thanks a lot for this. Very, very good sound of the Video, astonishing!!! Your equipment is top. I owned some of your albums (Thelma Houston, Earl Klugh, Donald Fagen) and you chose the same Tracks I love the most.
