Name the record you have played more than...

[Mr MidFi]

On the subject of Genesis A Trick of the Tail, is there any consensus to what version sounds best?

Is there ever?

I long for the original vinyl of my youth, but that thing died a long time ago. The original CD I had for years sucked hippo balls. I picked up the most recent remaster, and it definitely sounds better... but aside from the compression/loudness issues you mention (which don't bother me to death), they couldn't help themselves from tweaking and 'fixing' the mix here and there. Most of their choices were good ones, but some were not (IMO). The real reason to get that release is disc 2, which includes an interesting dts mix, a 1975 concert film featuring Bill Bruford on drums, and more.

The "making of" doc video on disc two leaves me with the tacit impression that Tony Banks was never really a big fan of this album, and would "fix" even more in the mix if he thought he could get away with it.

Well, other than various classical albums, it's probably Miles Davis' Kind of Blue. I have CD and SACD (non-hybrid) versions.

[Mr MidFi]

I don't have a whole lot of jazz in my collection, but I definitely have that one, Feanor. A true classic.

Your daughter at least 18?

She's 20, and was 12 when she bought that record (obviously, I did something right in my child rearing). Now let's talk about something else, anything else, please.

Hit google with ... pbthal genesis trick of the tail japanese flac ... like I said, sounds pretty good. Probably won't be much help with that dead thing, though.

Slosh Song of the Day

Copycat. I need to update mine more often. I forget what is loaded right now. Probably good, though

I might steal that song of the day idea too...I like it.

Kinda reminds me of way back when and doing group comps where everyone picked a song. Don't think there are enough people around here for that nowadays though.

Also, Slosh I assume if you had your daughter buying Clash records at 12 you are a fine example of modern fatherhood and are to be commended.

If we're talking ever, it'd have to be this, since I first started listening to it on 8-track when I was 6:



This one has also stuck with me through the years, since it was first released:
