The "Vinyl" police is going to knock at my door!
I believe the 'vinyl' police work under the 'no-knock' law.

I haven't booted my PC up in a dog's age. I can play FLACs and actually have a whole wad of MFSL rips from my less ethical days. Sometime when I'm home, I'll have to have a dig through and see what there is on there.

Kev, I posted the lesser of her "Emerson's Moog" vids. The truly amazing one is her take on Pictures At An Exhibition. Seems she had better control of the operation on that one.

Just finishing up 2112. I'll have a listen. Picture At An Exhibition seems like a good starting point.

@KevinJS you're right about her voice in the front 1959 this sounds absolutely remarkable! Very warm smooth recording. Steven Hoffman doing his magic tricks again.

Interesting thing about THE GRASSROOTS. Their 1st self-titled album was PF Sloan, who wrote most of the songs, and some studio musicians. DUNHILL was fairly surprised at the success of that record, so they shopped around for some local bands in the LA area to carry the GRASSROOTS name. They discovered Rob Grill's band and the rest is history. Btw, after Grill and The 13th Floor(the local band I referred to earlier), took over, The GRASSROOTS became THE GRASS ROOTS.

That is mind blowing. It's a good performance in any case, but when you consider she is blind it's hard to believe what's going on.

Over the weekend while I was at my job y'all had a rather lively discussion about feeling old and run down vs the vitality that active music listening and collecting brings us.
Well tonight the Mrs and I went out to eat up in the historic district of Lewes. Jerry's Seafood House...We both had the Crab Bomb, good god the bomb is awesome. A pint of Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA on draft for $3.50, crazy!

Anyways, when we got home the Mrs asks me hypothetically if I felt like we were as old as the patrons around us. Where we live is Florida North. This area is crawling with retirees from D.C., Jersey, Baltimore, NY and Philly.
She posed this question based on how she feels about herself juxtaposed by what she sees in the mirror. My reply was that she still looks exactly like the day I met her 30 years ago with just a couple of years of slight wear and tear but still garage kept.
Told her I was still 19 years old in my opinion but when I see a picture of myself I'm shocked, then I showed her the album I was fixing to clean and she was like "You're 56 going on 65!!! Why do I even talk to you?"
Freshly cleaned and playing like it's 1965 all over again.

Hah! I guess I got Public Enemy and Porcupine Tree confused. I guess I'm probably the first one dumb enough to do that.
ALSO: Listening to that album makes me love my speakers.

In FLAC format, of course.
EDIT: Just realized that this is one of the only 96khz resolution album I have, now paired with my 96khz multibit dac. Does it change the way it sounds? Probably not. But it's nice to use everything to its fullest.
Taylor does pop like it should be done on this record. Just as good is the fact that she's finally added some decent, sometimes great, lyrics to these 80s infused modern pop tracks. The emotion that comes through in tracks like "Style" and "Wildest Dreams" feels far deeper than anything TayTay has ever performed.
Favorite tracks: Style, I Know Places, Welcome to New York. Out of the Woods...I have to stop before I list the whole album.
Least favorite track: This Love, Shake it Off.

Right Kev, her hands are going exactly where they need to go at exactly the right moment. It gives you an appreciation for the complexities of what Keith Emerson was doing when he worked it all out in '71, but to see this young girl manipulating the keys in such a fashion is humbling.
It was the hope of many an ELP fan that she and Greg would somehow find a way to collaborate in the wake of Keith's passing...we didn't know how ill Greg was and that performing was the farthest thing from his mind.

Btw, I still believe that the 1st album with PF SLOAN doing the vocals is their best one. For those not familiar with Mr Sloan, other songs he wrote were EVE OF DESTRUCTION for Barry McQuire, SECRET AGENT MAN for Johnny Rivers, A MUST TO AVOID by Herman's Hermits, YOU BABY and LET ME BE for the Turtles.
