I also have the reissue of JT's Aqualung and Tom Petty's Live Anthology from previous special edition multi format issues.

Oh, and Donald Fagen's Nightfly (on back order).

Which Shelby Lynne LP version did you get? 45 or 33 1/3 RPM? Excellent choices!

Had a credit from Acoustic Sounds, which is APO, so tried a few pressings from their Blue Heaven Studio. The Weepin' Willie is excellent. All are very quiet and well recorded, but WW stood out, music-wise. The APO pressing of Pat Matheny's "Blue" is also excellent.

OK I have these 2 coming these week. The Styx version is the one to get and I have been waiting for months on the Range remaster too The Bruce Hornsby and the Range was most likely their best record and was a cut above and so different than all the other 80s music at the time. Of course Mr Lewis was involved too

I got the 33 1/3 version. Its a touch noisy, even after a good spin on the RCM. Fidelity wise it is excellent, as are the other two (digital) versions I have.

Let us know on these, specifically Styx from Friday Music. I have a couple from them and Joe Reagoso has done pretty good job. I have Yes~Close To the Edge and Boston~Don't Look Back.

Thanks in advance
