I was well pleased with Analogue Productions' versions of "Pretzel Logic" and "Can't Buy A Thrill," but this one sounded flat to me. I'm no sound expert, and maybe the CD ...

John Coltrane Quartet: Crescent | Ben Leggett - July 7, 2025

Puccini: Madama Butterfly - Karajan | John Broggio - Today 05:20 am

Holst: The Planets - Martin | John Broggio - June 29, 2025
