Default Best Sounding Newly Remastered Vinyl

I just picked up a copy of the Paul McCartney Ram Album and have to say it is one of the best sounding reissues I have so far. I also picked up a new reissue of Paul Simon Graceland which is also very good. A few other reissues which also sound very good are : Heart -Dream Boat Annie, Eric Clapton-Unplugged. Please post some of your favorites.

Grateful Dead Skull and Bones by MoFi. (MoFi is obviously dedicated to the art)
Paul Simon Graceland on Sony.

Thanks Dave. I have read here n' there about RAM and many others. Plan on getting a mega order out today -- I'm way behind on placing any orders lately & need to refresh the UPS drivers mind on where I live before the directions to it lapses.

Thanks Dave -- like visiting family after a 10 year lapse. And thanks for everyone who has welcomed me back from my hiatus (well, it wasn't a vacation, I can tell you that).

I could have used the help -- 64 hours alone this past Mon-Thurs. I'm beat, but am greatly satisfied, I made the project due date 3 days early (drop dead date is 8AM tomorrow).

May start a new thread as have bunches of photos. Sort of interesting.

Now, back to the regular program.
