I have the Harvest 3 CD set issued in 1995 that is an import.
Book of Taliesyn doesn't sound real great, but it is better than a CD version I had earlier that must have been transferred from LP. I think I played my LP quite a bit on my girlfriend's (at the time) parent's Magnavox console stereo, which didn't do it any good. I think the stylus needed to be replaced. They had separate Magnavox bookshelf speakers in the family room downstairs. We could turn off the console speakers upstairs, play our tunes and make out on the couch downstairs. Oh, those were the days. Other LPs that we listened to were Iron Butterfly's Ball, Blood, Sweat & Tears 2nd LP, Big Brother & The Holding Co. Cheap Thrills and The Stone's Beggars Banquet.
Blood, Sweat & Tears LP sound very good on the Magnavox for some reason or other.
Tom, do you listen to the TJB any more?
The first LP that I bought with my hard earned money was Whipped Cream & Other Delights. I ended up collecting, back then, all the TJB albums through The Brass Are Comin' with the exception of the Christmas Album and Greatest Hits. I still enjoy listening to most of them. I have all them on CD with the exception of Bullish. Those that have been reissued and what hasn't been, I have versions that have been pains takingly transferred from LP to CD.

I had kind of forgotten them , tho I really liked H Alpert's "Rise" , until I found a double LP ..called 4 sider ....like a GH , but remastered ( I Think )
http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/stor...,42834,00.html
The suitably named Four Sider contains two LPs -- or four sides -- of material from Alpert's back catalog. The higher ratio of well-chosen deep cut album tracks should appeal to those searching for an alternative to the typical "best-of" anthology. "The Lonely Bull" was the one that launched Alpert into the center ring and quickly established him as a formidable arranger with an ear toward hip and fresh interpretations of practically any musical genre. "Taste of Honey," the Allen Toussaint-penned "Whipped Cream," "Tijuana Taxi," and "This Guy's in Love with You" are all classic chart hits that are worthy of their respective inclusions. There is also a fair sampling of show tunes from the stage ("Hello, Dolly!" and "If I Were a Rich Man") to the screen ("Casino Royale" and "Last Tango in Paris"), plus the pop standards "More," "The Shadow of Your Smile," "Sunny," and Harry Nilsson's "Without Her." While the digital revolution has yielded longer and equally thorough Alpert collections, few (if any) have captured the purity of the artist's progression or the sheer sense of sonic panache that has all but defined him as clearly as Four Sider. ~ Lindsay Planer, All Music Guide

Product Description
Believe it or not, this landmark album, the record that changed FM rock forever in the early-'70s, has never been reissued from the original master tapes...'til now! But that's only the beginning...in addition to the original nine tracks, disc one adds six bonus tracks that were recorded at The Record Plant in March 1971, ('Baby Don't You Do It', 'Getting In Tune', 'Pure and Easy', 'Love Ain't For Keeping', Behind Blue Eyes' & 'Won't Get Fooled Again') three of which have never been available and the other three of which are here in their full-length versions for the first time. Then disc two captures a largely-unreleased April 26, 1971 gig at London's Old Vic Theatre (including the previously unreleased tracks - 'Love Ain't For Keeping', 'Pure And Easy', 'Young Man Blues', 'Time Is Passing', 'Behind Blue Eyes', 'I Don't Even Know Myself', 'Too Much Of Anything', 'Getting In Tune', 'Bargain', 'My Wife'

Tom, do you have an earlier version of Who's Next on CD to compare this 2003 edition to? I have one from 1995, nothing in the booklet that indicated it was remastered from the original master tapes. Just curious since I wouldn't mind a version that may sound a lot better.
....Dr. John that is.... The Definite Pop Collection. Atco/Rhino R2 70814. 30 tracks o' New Orleans boogie-woogie shufflin' gumbo!
Kept this one repeatin' all night! What a fine way to wake up finally! Dr. John and that piano with a backup vocal section and Horns! ...Makin' Whoopee! So cool!

... I have some "me [alone] time" tonight!It's critical listening time! So far, I've enjoyed:
Blues to the Bone - Etta James: I bought this disc about a year ago, and honestly, totally forgot about it. Cued (or queued???) it up tonight, and wow - great album full of gritty, hard blues tracks done by an amazing artist with the chops and experience to actually perform them. Her rendition of The Sky is Crying alone was worth the purchase price of the disc, but honestly, almost all of the tracks are exceptionally well done, and as an added bonus, the album is very well mastered.
Van Lear Rose - Loretta Lynn: Another artist with the real-life experience to truly add to her interpretation of the songs she sings. I've had this disc for several years, and continue to enjoy it each time I play it. With a minimalist recording approach, there's a previously unheard rawness to this album, thanks to collaboration with Jack White and the fact that every song was written by Lynn herself. There's honestly not a song on this recording that I don't truly enjoy.
Ultra Dance 06 - Various Artists: OK, ok, ok ... yeah, so dance/trance/house (I can never quite figure out which is which) is a guilty pleasure of mine. Some great tracks on this disc from a pure enjoyment perspective. That being said, as with most pop/dance albums, the mastering leaves quite a bit to be desired...
Now I've just got to figure out what's next - the night is young!
Great Album!
Definitely - one of those albums that makes you forget that you're listening on JBL speakers with XYZ amp, and ABC interconnects on an EFG CD player, etc.; you just become completely involved in the music to the point that everything else fades into the background...
Great Album!
IN THE CAR THIS MORNING, on my way to work, something I hadn't heard for too long. This is one of my all-time favorite albums--and this band's best, IMHO; unlike all other Child Prodigy Bolan albums, there's not a stupid klinker in the bunch--every song's a pop-art gem, especially "Mambo Sun." And "Bang a Gong" still sounds like the monster hit it was. Who played bass in this band?--whoever it was, he was a master rock bassist.
That would be Steve Currie
