I purchased L.A. Woman based on your recommendation on a previous video. It is stunning; I've never heard it sound better.

Analogue Productions deserve the highest praise for their work. I can't afford as many as I'd like but the ones I have are superb.

Tennessee Ernie Ford, great album, amazing voice, and those low notes!!

Again MIchael, a simple, useful, motivational video. 5 stars!

Herbie Hancock headhunters 45 rpm and counting crows August 45 rpm also sound so amazing

I own all the doors analog productions and they sound amazing I also have the son house ,the folk singer , Nora Jones , time out ,love supreme , they all sound so amazing

Just got the Analog Productions version of LA Woman. All I can say is wow. Think I will be picking up the self titled and Morrison Hotel now as well.

I have loved every Analogue Productions title I have. They all have a very solid "presence" to them that is so engaging. Sometimes even more than other audiophile pressings. The Doors albums to me sound so much better than I have ever heard them. Like magic! Thanks for another great video!

Thank you for another great video. I have 14 of the 20 albums you listed. Your channel continues to cost me money. :)

Look at that record cover. As a teenager I enjoyed my records and the Doors were my favorite.

Great video, in my opinion, Analogue Productions is one of the rare companies which offers consistently high quality. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much for the wonderful selection. Many years ago I was listening to NPR radio interviewing Tony Bennett, they asked him what would be the best song you ever performed, he said Blue Velvet, he sang it on radio and it blew me away. I went looking for his version of BV, and found out it was only performed live at Carnegie Hall. I bought the double cds, it’s one of my favorite live albums. I’m going to order the 45’s and give it a listen.

I should also add that I’m a recent fan of audiophile recordings and your videos are extremely helpful. For example, I had never heard of In and Out Records, Vinyl Solutions or Impex before I started watching your channel. Yours is the channel I check daily to see if you have new videos.

Yes, I'm going for the first three Lynyrd Skynyrd albums on 45rpm. Thanks for the recommendation!

Schön video Michael. I agree with your selection. It's fantastic! I would add: - Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Steves, - Love is the thing by Nat King Cole, - Scheherezade by Reiner and the Chicago, - Amused to Death by Roger Waters.

Hello from Montreal, your channel is simple and honest. And yes costing me money!

Thanks to this video and respect for your advice and opinions, I just ordered 'LA Woman' and the Doors debut album from Analogue Productions. I can barely wait to hear them! A seller on Discogs said that The Door's debut from AP is only being sold now on 180gr vinyl rather than the 200gr. I wonder if there is a difference in quality? I didn't want to risk it, so I found a different seller and got the 200gr version. Thank you so much for all your advice. It's protecting us from buying those well-hidden "stinkers" out there on vinyl.😊

So excited for this video.

I've only got 2- Freddie Hubbard's Hub Cap and Paul Chambers Whims of Chambers. Both are 45 pm and sound great.

Once I saw the title, I knew this was going to be a great video. The only recommendation I am not entirely with is Pet Sounds. I had the 2016 180 gram vinyl edition and thought the mastering was not great. Maybe the one presently available is better? That said, I received my copy of Bill Evans at the Montreux Jazz Festival on 45. 😮Simply stunning! Jack DeJohnette is captured in a way I had not heard before. Very glad you recommended it!

Hello Michael really enjoy your channel I bought the LA woman by The Doors the only rock group that really matters to me and the sun house who is my favourite blues man when they first came out almost 60 maybe you more years ago and they’re still my favourites great to see that you are letting people know about the older recordings that still sound good take care

Another great Video - Absolutely loving your Channel - I would consider myself to be an audiophile and I have picked up so many great recordings based on your recommendations - Northern New Jersey loves you :)

Great video, as always!

4 stops for ads during this video. When not skipping all the ads, I really enjoyed your video! :) I'd not really heard of Analogue Productions previously, but after seeing this am keen to seek some out. I think my copy of Roger Waters's 'Amused to death' is issued by them.

I did not get the 33 1/3 RPM Love Supreme when it was readily available as I have the 45RPM version. I’m kicking myself now!

The original pressing of 'L.A. Woman' is a great recording in its own right,very dynamic and forceful. I'm sure that is one reason the new mastering came out so well. I would be interested in your doing a comparison of the two!

Love Analogue Productions like I do MFSL. The Doors box set by Analogue Productions is must for fans of The Doors. Right now I only have the SACD box set as a placeholder until I can find the vinyl box set for a reasonable price.

I wish AP would release an audiophile version of the Beach Boys Christmas album.

Great channel and excellent recommendations! I have the original first pressings of 4 of these albums in NM quality, but would love to try the modern audiophile versions! Some of the albums are already too expensive to buy as first pressings and even as reissues, so I would probably end up buying all 20 albums 😊 I wish you and your channel a lot of success! Greetings from your southerly neighbour down in Switzerland.

The only title from the Analogue Productions label that I have among the ones you showed is "Time Out", which is absolutely fantastic. I also have The Doors' debut album, Miles Davis' "Seven Steps To Heaven" and Jeff Beck's "Blow By Blow". I'd love to get the 45 RPM version of Herbie Hancock's "Head Hunters", but it's expensive.

Some great reviews I really enjoy all your videos you are one of the best to watch on weather or not to make the purchase

AAA labels are sought after for the first A as much as the two others, therefore it would be somewhat counterproductive for them to part ways with this first A ... Again, this is only my understanding as a rookie into the world of AAA.

I've got originals of most of those--at least the ones I'm interested in. It's great that Chad does such a great service in reissuing a lot of classic LPs, but I can't rationalize buying them again just so i can compare and OG to one of his records. I've done it on occasion (Like with Miles Relaxin") and I still like playing the OG, even if it's got a few pops and ticks. I will say that around $40 a pop, they are a good value--better that the Mofis, IMHO. (I'm a graphic designer and I've always hated how MoFi has to ad their little strip across the top of so many classic LP covers.)
