    Joey Long

    Anybody ever hear of Joey Long? I found this on another forum. Apparently Johnny Winter, Stevie Ray and Billy Gibbons have cited him as an inspiration. I must say that I suspect that I know where Billy got some of his guitar licks: His story is an interesting one as well. Found this while surfing for info: https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/flo76
  4. There are a lot of classical rips. Elvis Presley's "It's now or Never" is "O' Sole Mio." Billy Joel used the melody from Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 8 (Pathetique) for one of his songs (I can't remember which one). Edit: The Billy Joel tune ripped from Beethoven is the chorus of "The Night."
  5. I'm planning to buy a CD copy of the Beatles "Revolver" album. I noticed that there is a 2009 remaster but fear that it's been remastered for ipods. I know that there were UK versions, U.S. versions and Japanese versions (I think). Can anyone comment on the best version to buy?
  6. Interesting thought. I catch myself selecting my best recordings when I want to sit down and listen to something instead of selecting a specific genre or piece of music. I'm listening to my Brothers in Arms recording right now. Love it. The good recordings do spoil one. Thanks to LT for the BST lead. What a gentleman.
  7. Just bought this one yesterday for $6.00 in perfect LP format.
  8. Four of them passed away? Ronnie Van Zant, Allen Collins, Billy Powell and Bob Burns?
  9. Wow. $319.00 for the CD: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLOOD-SWEAT-AND-TEARS-Father-To-Man-MFSL-24K-SEALED-CD-/350262179144?hash=item518d40b548
  10. Thanks Jim. Will have to check those out. Seems that my jazz albums/CD's are some of the best recordings I have. They also tend to have quiet passages that accentuate a nice, noise-free system. Looks like "The Planets" is a favorite as well. Don't have a copy right now so will be looking.
  11. Never heard of this album so had to look it up. Very strange genre for Frank Zappa considering... From Wikipedia: "Francesco Zappa (born in 1717 most probably in Milan, died on 17 January 1803 in The Hague[1]) was an Italian cellist and composer who lived most of his adult life in The Hague, the Netherlands. He was highly regarded for his virtuoso cello playing and his compositions were published and distributed throughout Europe. Zappa was of importance to the musical life of the Netherlands, and made substantial contributions to the quality, vibrancy and international outlook of The Hague's 18th-century music scene as a performer, composer, concert organiser and teacher.)
  12. Thanks to all. I'm writing these down and building a list of recordings to acquire.
  13. I just ordered the CD. Will have to look for an original vinyl now.
  14. I'm interesting in hearing what others think are the best vinyl or CD recordings from a recording quality perspective. In another thread, Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms CD (1985 recording) is cited as having been recorded with exceptional clarity. The 2000 remastered CD is cited as being of lesser sound quality. The best recording in my collection is a 1957 recording of Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section. To my ear the recording is exceptional. Does anyone have a particular recording to recommend?
