Ella Fitzgerald And Louis Armstrong – Ella And Louis
Such a fantastic pressing. I have an original UK pressing but you can barely hear the music over the surface noise. Listening to this feels like im listening to the music for the first time. Fantastic album!
However, I cant seem to find it on discogs. The label says its a german pressing but the sleeve says 'made in the usa' with April 1960 hand written in the corner. Hmmm.

Such a great album that I would have never discovered without this (that) forum.

roger waters - the wall
so glad he toured this. i remember watching vhs/dvd bootlegs of 80-81 wall shows back in the day and just wishing i could have seen a show like that. i'm glad i got the opportunity. i will say the mix on this release is really strange. on another brick part II right now and it's like the guitars are right in front of me while the rest of the sounds are pushed back a bit. i don't like it.

This is me and my girlfriends favorite album. Think it was the second record I owned on vinyl and god, what can really be said about it? One of the most pure, heart opening, genuine, grin inducing pieces of music ever produced. Thanks for sharing!

dammit - there's a scratch that causes a clicking pop for about a minute straight on this. this is the second defective record from my last box.
EDIT: of course they're sold out, so they can't even replace it. I guess I will need to get a refund and buy a standard copy.
EDIT2: taking a chance with one of the ones on Discogs as I did get the refund.

"The High Priestess of Soul, Nina Simone, was 34 years old in 1967. She'd been making music her whole life — she was trained as a classical pianist — and, at 21, started singing in clubs. For the next decade, she bounced around, recording jazz and blues standards, and steadily earning a reputation as a remarkable performer. People loved watching and hearing Nina Simone perform, though critics weren't quite sure what to do with her. Was she a blues singer? A jazz pianist and performer? And what about those original songs — how did they fit in? When Simone made the move to RCA in 1967, those questions started to become less important, and the focus now found itself on her voice — that voice! Slip-sliding between sultry sensuality ("In the Dark"), heart-wrenching reminiscences ("My Man's Gone Now") and the biting social commentary ("Backlash Blues," a song she co-wrote with Langston Hughes), Nina Simone proved, with Sings the Blues, that hers was a voice capable of anything. It made people fall in and out of love, it made them pay attention to the past, and it forced them to become aware of the social inequalities all around them." —Elena See (Folk Alley/Minnesota Public Radio)
