Thanks for this new set of rips... there is some great sounding stuff here.  The first thing that really stood out to me was the Dire Straits album.  Sounds really crisp and pristine.  I was also surprised by the Neil Merryweather album, which I had never heard.  This is one I will listen to some more, and can add to the list of albums I have discovered through PB's rips.  Looking forward to checking some more of these out.

Thank you PB. Many here I look forward to give a go.
Ohio Players, Pulp, ZZ Top, Dire Straits, Ween (awesome share this one) and Cold. And we got the SAP 😉

The Cornelius Brothers And Sister Rose album was a album I never had heard before, so look forward to your upgrade.

Thank you very much!  I was shocked to check out this latest post and see my favorite Talking Heads album "Naked" in the fold.  Sounds fantastic and clean with all instruments coming through beautifully.  Your work has changed how I listen to music in a great way.

Here's a link to the forum section called "Dead Links"  https://tonepoet.fans/forum/forum/dead-links-forum/

Check out the topic about Bob Marley there.

Hey thank you!! I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know. I should have checked the dead links first! But much appreciated.

Many times I think a old rip wins over a new one.
I also notice that many rips before Sugarcube can be better than after Sugarcube.

I think it depends partly on how you like the bass to sound.  I'm finding that ATV150 and earlier has a slightly boomier bass and Black Ice and after it tends to sound tighter.  That's just personal observations though, I could be off track.

Thank you for the great June archive. I am currently renting, between moves, but brought my NAS drive and several small speakers.

Great to see another Albert King added to the archive. King Albert combines some tasteful blues and soul resulting in a nice listen.

The Buffalo Springfield mono sounds great and can’t wait to listen to it when I get my regular system back up and running.

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – So Far is a great way to listen to their early greatest hits.

I once owned the Anglo/German band Epitaph – Outside The Law and this provides a good mix of dual guitar rock with progressive elements.

Free – Tons Of Sobs is their blusiest album and a precursor of great things to follow.

My first “big” June surprise was King Crimson – Lizard. Surprisingly, never heard this before, but as their 3rd album now ranks up with their first two as my favorites. It has a jazzier sound with horns, a new lead singer, and some intense drumming.

The second surprise was Mahavishnu Orchestra – Birds Of Fire (2010 Friday Music Reissue). I had the album upon initial release and saw this version of the band live. Somehow over the next 35+ years I forgot about the band, until now. On a MO kick now and really enjoying the sound of this archive.

Also special thanks for the Robert Palmer – Sneakin’ Sally Through The Alley re-archive, The Impressions – This Is My Country with Curtis Mayfield, The Herd – Lookin’ Through You with Peter Framptom, and the UHQR ZZ Top – Tres Hombres.
