Ole, a couple of people have urged me to go to one of the Utrecht shows- likely where a lot of this stuff is going to show up. As to prices, I doubt you'll find any bargains on stuff like Il Balletto di Bronzo. But if you wanted to go wild, that's probably the place. The guy I would reach out to here in the States is Ken Golden, who I think I mentioned upthread- he seems more on top of collectible and obscure prog than anybody I know- he does sell new vinyl, and represents a number of new bands in the prog, prog/metal and fusion areas, but may also have some suggestions for older prog copies or sources. In some cases, there are good older alternative pressings, e.g. the King Records Seven Seas imprint which I think I mentioned earlier. Ken has several companies- i believe they are all under the umbrella of The Laser's Edge. He just wrote a column about some prog obscurities that I published last week.
Why do I keep torturing myself with remasters?
I am really beginning to believe these 180 remasters are mixed for a 500.00 system.It seems every one I buy it's either super bright,or has an ass load of bass in all the wrong places.The Bowie i have the soundstage is all wacked out .I have a decent setup but i can't imagine how much more obvious it must be on a serious setup.I can say the Yes fragile I got lately (cut fromt he original tapes) sounds pretty good ,Zeppelin In thru the outdoor Yikes! so bright waste of 25.00 again.....
