Porter was all-in with the unboxing experience, but to his surprise…no treats inside. Btw Danny, killer slippers. I should get a pair.

[@SonicFlare]

indeed!!! I'll have to tell Craig to include a treat next time..... lol .... slippers.... yes, thank you! Herring......

Great show Paul Weller was leader of the seminal British band The Jam before setting up Style Council. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@SonicFlare]

OMG, absolutely - I can't believe I didn't mention that. I had a complete mental moment!!!

[@adamweeks4258]

Love the channel. Thank you for your efforts. I’m largely alone out here in Arkansas when it comes to my love of vinyl.

[@AnalogueOctober]

You’re never truly alone!

[@SonicFlare]

Thanks Adam! Appreciate you tuning in!

I remember when I started watching soccer, my local radio station was talking about this phenomenal player from Cameroon, Roger Milla

[@SonicFlare]

They sure produced some incredible players!

Rock on bro!

[@hayleytomkins2760]

Great unboxing video. Analogue October is my local record shop and is by far the best around.

[@SonicFlare]

Can't wait to visit in person one day! Already asked Craig if I can intern over next summer. LOL!

[@dobbzie6564]

I go in Analogue October Records quite a lot, bought loads of albums that Craig and his daughter Charlotte have recommended to me. I’m lucky enough to only live five miles away. You’re right about the quality of the pressings Craig only gets the best.

[@SonicFlare]

Heck yeah!

[@jazzmetalaudiophile]

Ok I thought my NKC unboxing set the bar for Level crazy this Christmas. Ich senke mein Haupt. Der Titel geht an dich 😅

Danny, that Lloyd McNeill Quartet is DOPE! If you don't have his other SoulJazz reissues... you need them. (Nobody ever talks about him).

[@SonicFlare]

Wilco! Roger that!

[@theboomerscalper]

I am interested on your thoughts on those Lost Recordings.

[@SonicFlare]

eh, it's the music you are getting...... sonically most of these albums are so-so or worse. Keep in mind that these recordings are "lost" because most of them were never intended for release and were recorded by national TV or radio stations for special broadcasts, etc. My guess is it was clever marketing by Devialet, since getting the licenses was likely very inexpensive and no artwork had to be recreated. Sadly, some of them are pressed at questionable plants and out of the 6 I have now, not one of them came with rice paper inner sleeves, which given the label's supposed commitment to high-end is inexcusable. So what do I think of them? Not much LOL. The music is fabulous and that's what I got these for. Incidentally these two Sara Vaughan titles sound quite good, the Blossom not so much.

[@theboomerscalper]

I always forget to update the Discord invite link…….. sorry folks! They always expire after 7 days… here you go if you are interested! discord.gg/cWSZH9EQ

[@bradleykay]

Cool stuff. Definitely will dig into a few of these. Have you heard the the DCC Elton Greatest Hits? I wonder how your original UK compares to it.

[@SonicFlare]

I have not....... indeed, curious to compare myself! Cheers!

[@quinnmarshall8653]

Hey Danny - nice eclectic mix there! Have you had a chance to listen to the Lloyd McNeill Washington Suite yet? I have Elegia and I like that a lot, not sure yet whether I will expand to his other records. Heard anything else by him?

[@SonicFlare]

It’s KILLER!!! My first record of his………..

[@mikeballard7776]

I laughed at your hair then I looked in the mirror!

[@ergloo6660]

Real World is a great Label try listening to Sheila Chandra, what a voice

[@SonicFlare]

thanks for the tip, gotta check it out!

[@terrywho22]

Ok, so how good are the sonics/pressing quality of the Lost Recordings LPs? Are we talking "Dream with Dean" on 45 good or is it more like Tone Poet good? I ask because I'm thinking of bypassing the Blakey Blue Note Tokyo concert LP (at least for now) in favor of ordering the Blakey Lost Recording in Scheveningen (also I think Golson was a better fit with Blakey's band though it seems I'm in the minority on that one!) I might also bag that Blossom Dearie CD... 😬not sure yet. BTW, Dream with Dean is killer. Had to chuckle a bit when I saw "DK" etched into the runout groove. Nice touch by AP.

[@SonicFlare]

See post above..... "The Waxed"........ so-so. I'd say on average not even Tone Poet. It could be good, it could be shitty. Try streaming it online before - they really are very much hit or miss, mostly miss!

[@terrywho22]

@@SonicFlare Super helpful!! Appreciate it and thanks for the Christmas reply!

[@SonicFlare]

[@terrywho22]

@@SonicFlare BTW, Santa brought me the Dead Can Dance live CD you recommended. 👍🙏Very nice!! Really has a proper concert sound: big & reverberant. My little bookshelf Focals are sweating it out in a huge way trying to make my living room sound like the Greek Theater!!😅

[@SonicFlare]

Niiiiiiice!!! It’s a killer live album!!! Enjoy!

[@jabensergei]

Hi Danny, buying records is great, but shouldn't be in disadvantage of buying coffee and thats what I was wondering, where is the coffee? Cheers!

[@SonicFlare]

LOL! Agreed…….. next episode!

[@Simon-dn9kv]

I bet Porter's butt is disappointed, that it didn't get unboxed. And maybe it's just me, but I did find the background music in the video too loud and a had hard time focusing on what you were saying Danny.

[@raynewcomb337]

Per the Mark Knopfler box, Miles Showell said The Ragpicker's Dream sounds best, fwiw.

[@SonicFlare]

Will have to give them a proper play, my expectations aren't all that high admittedly - every time I read "cut at Abbey Road, half speed this, that the other", my BS meter goes off.

[@raynewcomb337]

@@SonicFlare check out the video he does of it on the Mark Knopfler youtube channel

[@SonicFlare]

It’s a nice set - pressings are so-so, alas, it’s ok overall. Mastering is nice, though as Miles said, there’s not much to “master” really…
