Top 10 Audiophile Editions (Which are not your Usual Suspects)

[@brothermax9159]

I’m hooked on these videos and I’m learning so much about audiophile worthy records. Thank you for keeping us entertained and informed. I have invested in many of your outstanding recommendations. Thank you again!

[@thomasedward2231]

That Lou Reed is so so good sounding

[@deedee1132]

Huge thanks for recommending the Speaker‘s Corner edition of „Transformer“. It just arrived today - and wow: It sounds SO INCREDIBLY GOOD! I had high expectations but it‘s even better. Always an amazing experience when you listen to songs that you have heard hundreds of times before for the first time on a really great vinyl edition and your jaw drops because you discover a whole new world!

[@richardriley4415]

I'm going to look for that Taj Mahal

[@stefanhansen5882]

Wonderful selection! Especially, Spiritchaser is a stunning album, in my opinion. Transformer also. The Taj Mahal record was new to me. What a great recommendation. Thanks!

[@vinylrulesok8470]

That Speakers Corner edition of Transformer is amazing. Dead Can Dance do a few great sounding LPs, Into the Labyrinth, The Serpents Egg are very good.

[@pseudoty]

This was a great video thank you for sharing your collection. Out of these I only have Transformer but I just ordered Bolero. I have liked that song from the first time I heard it back in 1979 in the movie 10 that scene really leaves an impression on a teenage boy.

[@Michael45RPM]

Tell me when you heard the Bolero

[@djtrishm]

Take five is a song I found on a compilation CD and a few year ago I found the full album on CD. Love the Beach Boys. Their Harmonies were the best.Thumbs up. Trish

[@russputin6294]

Good point. A great recording puts you in the room with the artist, not the artist in your room.

[@skyehenderson8869]

Thanks for sharing your collection.

[@keithzoll5687]

Thanks Michael, Just ordered the Taj Mahal record. On the same page with you that life is way too short to listen to bad recordings when there are so many good ones. Looking forward to the video on your system.

[@joepiro4948]

This was fun. You should do more, maybe one list could be all classical, another list jazz and so on.

[@Michael45RPM]

There will be more Lists for sure, i love them

[@hectoralvarez941]

I enjoyed this video. I have some of these records and agree that this music is not in the common lanes , but beautifully made. I will find a copy of Taj Mahal....thank you.

[@jamesellis8456]

Interesting that you chose a number of live recordings. I too like live recordings very much. I have all your list apart from the Bruckner. We share very similar tastes so will check that one out. Keep doing the videos 😊

[@Michael45RPM]

The Bruckner is a highlight you will love that one

[@1971Anti]

you sure hurt my pocket book, but I love you lists and reviews! thanks!

[@cwilko11]

the Speakers Corner Transformer is really good.. mine gets a constant work out on the platter.

[@gijsvanhoogstraten4378]

Instantly ordered Taj Mahal, listening right now; amazing amazing amazing!!!😌

[@audiotomb]

The Berlin Philharmonic also did a Brahms set direct to disc - it was very expensive and i passed on it

[@NosTubes58]

Simply amazing channel you’ve here Michael........., as I’ve rather severe bouts of Gout since March 2010, which forced me from spinning records, over to computer audio, where I always pursued Japanese | German | Canadian pressings in that order, as a shed a tear in memories of what was, I thank thee.

[@a.vonende7885]

Nice list. I just got The Well on Vinyl stil sealed, The innersleeves were the pink plastic ones. They leave a oily residu on the vinyl. I hope they wil clean up.

[@jamesellis8456]

Check out Leo Kottke 6 and 12 String Guitar dbl 45 on Analogue Productions if you don’t know it. Brilliant record and just astounding sound.

[@Michael45RPM]

Thx for the tip ..will go into that one for sure

[@NotedArchived]

LOVELY selections here and thanks for not going the expected route. Hard to argue w/ the Beach Boys or the Buddy Holly. Both are cornerstones. Most of the records of Munch w/ the Boston Symphony Orchestra are just top-notch. Here is a nice video of the Bruckner box from the VC member I mentioned to you the other day (Poetry on Plastic) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jp3Nn3ygr8iEnNE. Thanks for the heads up on the Taj Mahal - I'm not familiar w/ that release. Thanks, Michael. Prosit and happy weekend.

[@Michael45RPM]

Thanks for the link Michael. And also for the response, see you soon.... i hope :-)

[@robertmitchell6015]

Thank you Michael you have cost me more money 💰🙄 I ordered the Taj Mahal Vinyl unfortunately with shipping it is very expensive here in Australia

[@Michael45RPM]

Absolutely!! Shipping is a real pain.... But i am quite sure the listening experience of the Taj Mahal will make up to it :-)

[@michaelneary888neary7]

I just bought the 'Lou Reed' remix of transformer and love the pressing, good quite vinyl, everything sounds clear and the dynamics on the backing vocals of WalkOTWSide are knock out, woundering now how it compares to the speakers corner pressing?

[@cwilko11]

we need a top 10 list of our top ten lists !!!

[@elijahdoughly1678]

I want to get that Nathan Davis album but it is hard to find in stock. Hopefully they will Repress it again soon.

[@Michael45RPM]

Chances are good that they do i think.

[@bradleykay]

The Bruckner is a beautiful recording. I hope they continue this series with direct to disc recordings.

[@Michael45RPM]

I hope so too, they are getting better with every Release so far

[@benjaminqilafku5714]

[@simonossitt2541]

Just wanted you to know that due to my addiction to your videos I am now awaiting delivery of Fragile : UltraDisc One Step, Lou Donaldson - Blues Walk - 45rpm Analog Prod and monks Dream from Impex. My wife wants a stern word with us both.

[@Michael45RPM]

Tell me early enough when i have to leave the country :-)

[@coolmickey68]

hahahahaha too funny I just did the same thing,

[@spittindatruthaboutrecords9421]

Michael i like you without the beard, what made you grow it?

[@gilbertgiroux7880]

Hello Michael Another top notch video as always.I have a question for you.What kind of outer sleeves are you using with the gatefold albums?It's the first time that I see that and the way you can open the jacket I find it very interesting.

[@Michael45RPM]

Those are fro the Vinyl Storage Solutions

[@gilbertgiroux7880]

45 RPM Audiophile Thanks

[@dondraper217]

Just found your channel and am very impressed with all you've done! I'd love to see you bring up some of the analog records from other labels, like Rhino. Especially in the instances (but not only) where there's also an MFSL release and how they compare. Like the Dylan mono box albums vs MFSL, Grateful Dead Rhino vs MFSL, Forever changes Rhino vs MFSL. Also, I'm curious your opinion on the Abbey Road Half-Speed Master releases and if any are worth owning.

[@Michael45RPM]

Welcome to the Channel Don, and thx for the recommendations

[@dondraper217]

@@Michael45RPM Good informative reviews on the half-speed pressings! Thanks for getting to them.

[@juanmauricioperez2036]

THE BEST SELECTIONS I´M NOT FAN OF VINIL AS I WAS ON 80´S BUT YOUR INCREDIBLE SELECTION I LOOKING ON TIDAL I FIND A LOT OF THEM

[@grahaminkpen5436]

Have you a first press of Electric Warrior by T Rex on the Fly label. ? That is another outstanding recording that is done in a studio but somehow sounds live. One of the favs in my collection.

[@greencraig8570]

Great topic idea.

[@antonysandersonfromenglandshef]

Very good vinyl records I'm starting to collections

[@analoguecity3454]

If you get a "good" system, you will be hooked! I guarantee!

[@erniecf]

What sleeves do you use ? Great video !

[@Michael45RPM]

I use Vinyl Storage Solutions

[@sorono3]

Friday Night in San Francisco one was issued numerous times by other audiophile labels. Do you have other versions (ORG 45 RPM, Speakers Corner, or the 33 RPM from Impex)? If so, do they sound as good as the Impex 45 RPM?

[@Michael45RPM]

I only have the Impex Version

[@davidmorgen4558]

Speaking of have you ever come across any audiophile vinyl of the jam band Phish?

[@henrikduende]

I struggle to find 45s Are There any shops (online) the focus on 45s?

[@twraven1]

How are you putting the albums in plastic surrounding the inside and the outside?

[@Michael45RPM]

Look here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipymp5ltd5KWrJo

[@thomasandersen1784]

If you continue use the fraise "Outstanding", it will loose it's meaning ;-) (just kidding'). Fun to see the list here, where some titles doesn't appear on a regular basis in other forums. Now you had me thinking of a list too :-)

[@benjaminqilafku5714]

In the black pitch night I can see a German audiophile coming.

[@Michael45RPM]

How?

[@benjaminqilafku5714]

@@Michael45RPM By the way your system is great Smart move to have it naturally integrated by having all the gear made by the same house so have inherited synergy.
