I have most of the Classic Records reissues, but would like to know how good the AP pressings are. I'm interested in the 45RPM pressings of Afterglow and Solace.

I considered getting Solace (love that LP) but didn't spring for it... yet. Maybe next order...Magico M-Project, CAT JL7SE, CH Precision L1/X1/P1, Kronos Pro Limited Edition/SME 3012R/Atlas SL/Opus-1, Schiit Yggdrasil, ZenWave D4 ICs & SCsComment

I have 3 or 4 of these Sarah McLachlan APO 45's.....they suck!
well....maybe not suck....but I prefer the digital mostly. or the earlier 33's I have of the particular albums.
I'm at work now and don't recall exactly which one's I have (mostly because I've only played them once)
I'm a 45rpm completest...and have almost every single 45rpm record ever pressed. but after acquiring the Sarah Mc 45's I have......I did not buy more.Comment

They didn't do much for me. My favorite is The Freedom Sessions and that didn't get reissued. Wintersong was also nice but outside of the holidays, how many times can you listen to it?Originally posted by Johnny Vinyl View Post
BTW, her Shine On album was unlistenable. Unbearably bad sounding. The engineer (s) must have been stone deaf. So bad I threw it away.Myles B. Astor, PhD, Administrator

Thanks to all for your impressions! I'm a bit surprised about the lack of enthusiasm for these as AP has such a good, if not great, rep. I think I'll pass on these 45RPM's.Dynavector DV20x2L MC cartridge - Genesis G7.1f speakers - Marantz Reference PM-KI-Pearl Int.

Maybe I need to rethink this as we have some opposing views expressed. Afterglow is the only Classic I don't have......ok, I don't have Wintersong either, but that doesn't interest me.Originally posted by Ptplayers View PostDynavector DV20x2L MC cartridge - Genesis G7.1f speakers - Marantz Reference PM-KI-Pearl Int.
