Definitive Audiophile pressings

[TenderLovingKiller®]

I'm with @Ghost on this one, definitely not about it being inoffensive. I don't repeat listen to loads at the minute, but whenever I do pull out Scenery for a listen I really enjoy it. Definitely not the most boring title mentioned in the definitive Audiophile pressings thread. I've said it before, but if we all had the same tastes then all this music would very quickly become boring.

That could be a new fun thread, 'definitively boring vinyl pressings'.

Completely agree. My position is kinda nuanced and is more regarding to the hype behind the album than the music being made. I am completely happy that you and many others enjoy it. It’s just a milquetoast example (again, IMO) of the style for the internet to pull off the scrap heap of overlooked 1970s Jazz albums and champion. Like if I had friend who really liked the album, I wouldn’t have much to say about it. It’s fine, to each their own but if felt like 2 or 3 years ago this became an highly regarded album in the record collecting community and I personally don’t get the hype when compared with other albums of the same style.

You know what; I have still never given ol’ Jon even a cursory listen. I get the VMP Forum meme but haven’t ever listened to a single note of his music.

You’re missing absolutely nothing! I only spun it once while I had the globetrotting copy here!

What genre does he fall under? Strictly based on the album cover, I always assumed he made some sub-James Tayloreque 1970s singer/songwriter type jams.

(I kid...never given Jonny a listen either). I'm guessing your initial instinct is right.

This... is disappointing.

Kinda yes but not as good and without that velvet voice. Honestly it’s just mediocre non offensive 70s pop meh.

I shouldn't have, but I did grab Iron Butterfly...........I think it's a safe "investment"

Yea...sometimes I will buy some MoFis to trade for something else lately. I'd guess this is the last restock of that one.

I have it, it's pretty solid.

Also side note, just picked up the Parlophone Coldplay "Parachutes" on yellow vinyl and holy crap, this sounds incredible. It's the only Coldplay album I need to own and wow. 3 songs in and this is gorgeous.
