I'm not sure the artist lineup suites your taste but the Cheskey label produces excellent recordings. Also look at yesasia.com, they offer some excellent 192k/24 bit recordings.

I can't add much to Asr and LFF's posts, but I've found it best to research each title individually.

Be careful with the various gold and OOP discs. Some get a collector's vibe and prices skyrocket, where you can get great sound for less by buying something cheaper. I'm more interested in havin a good recording than collecting rare discs.

i have the found the recordings put out by chesky and mapleshade to be of uniformly excellent sound quality. the mapleshade recordings are very reasonably priced too.

Layla is something special. I believe the MFSL is a flat transfer of the master tape with full dynamics left intact. I think that makes it a worthwhile acquisition. That said, the master tape does NOT sound good. I remastered it for myself and it was one hell of an album to get right. Each song sounds so different and needs different things to get all of them to play nice. That said, I would put my version of Layla up against any other release.


Having just downloaded the 24/96 version of Layla (HDTracks), it really puts the others to shame. I have several versions including a somewhat odd (different), but sonically good remaster (20th anni?).

I'd love to hear your remaster... any chance?  wink_face.gif
