Eclection - Another time, another place (HQ) (HD)

After 15 years of record collecting and very, very extensive A/B testing between vinyl and CD (more than 400 albums at the moment) I have become a great believer in CDs over vinyl, BUT there are some cases where the vinyl record simply sounds better than the CD. And then there are cases, like Eclection, where the CD issue went terribly wrong. I seriously believe the two CD issues of Eclection was made from an old cassette tape! No joke! So, the original record still sounds better. Which is what I present to you here. Recorded with the magnificent Rega RP-3 with a Rega Exact needle (Rega's best MM needle) and the magnificent Parasound Z-Phono phono stage. Honestly, I only like "Violet Dew" and especially "Another time another place" (the latter I see as a bonafide classic), which is why I haven't uploaded the rest.

Another time, another place
Perhaps alone we could have seen
That maybe if we tried to look at life another way
We might have been
Together on our way towards the everlasting love of life
That must be true
But nothing in this world can keep us apart from doing
What we want to do
So try to find a way to understand
Please try to find a way to understand
When I think about the days we know
And every hour spent for things to come
And now I see it's not the way we live
But the way we think that makes our pleasures numb
Another time, another place
Perhaps together we would be
A step ahead of all those things that we should never see
But all those years we stumbled through without a care
of what to do
And now I've learned from present on the past
And found that life is you

This album is amazing. Little known. What a loss that they weren't cultivated and didn't put out more albums.
