Thanks for posting this. I just purchased a used copy of a German Import CD of Dan's The Royal Scam. It should sound quite good and it's early '80's pressing too.
Never say it's blasphemy when you prefer a CD over a record. I'm always looking for the best sound from an album, and often enough, the compact disc will provide the best sound. This is a good list. My only exception is that I prefer the Japanese Blu-Spec CD version of Dylan's Highway 61. If you haven't heard it, it's worth seeking out. The Blu-Spec CD version of Blood On The Tracks is also the superior version of that album.
Very amusing video thank you for sharing. I too collect vinyl and cd and love both. Try Neil Diamonds original Hot August Night on vinyl, you really can feel he is in the room and you do feel him breathing! Have a great New Year.
Great ( sounding) selections . These are some CDs in my collection that have great sound : Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd Aja by Steely Dan I Robot by Alan Parsons Project Ziggy Stardust by David Bowie Crime of the Century by Supertramp Heartbeat City by The Cars Cheers !
Great video. My CD edition of Rumours has an extra track stuck in the middle of it, which I find annoying, not sure why they didn’t put it on the end!! 😀👍🏼
I'm testing sound systems...The best cd sounding cd i use...believe it or not...is Mezzanine (Massive Attack)...palette of sounds max large...female and male singing....max palette of sounds....
I’ve been curious about the Let It Bleed SACD for years now. Do you think I would benefit from this copy, considering that I have a dedicated CD player, but not an SACD player?
The first pressing of Fleetwood Mac's "Rumors" was not up to par... the sound level was very low and required cranking the volume, but then, when the next CD would start, it would hurt my ears!
i still collect rock cd`s too !!! but i also remember my first cd copy of Led Zeppelin 2 sounded like shit !!! it was only after Jimmy Page had the entire Zeppelin catalog remastered for cd that the sound quality was where it needed to be !!! I bought some early cd`s that sounded terrible !!! back when they were new tech and were $30 a pop so they have come a long way ! but I`m not giving up my vinyl LOL !!!!!
Hi Jeff, you had me believing you until around the three minute mark with the comment about Christine McVeigh's tear drop, tear drops running down cheeks do not make noise. Well done, you had the most cynical person I know, me, believing you for three minutes. The only music that does sound good on CD is the music it was actually designed for because of the quiet and silent sections in the music: that is Classical music. Keep up the good work. I won't get fooled again........
Thank you for sticking up for CDs! Thumbs up! Trish
Haha! Great video Jeff. I died when you said on “Let it bleed.” “You can actually smell the nicotine on Keith Richards fingers!” Love your humor man.
Thank you! 😀
and Christine McVie's tear at 2:24
I wish I was smoking what he is

So hilarious. Great classic albums by the way. Love the CD sleeves😊

"Hear a tear drop." I've never heard that sound before. Ill have to find that cd.
I've noticed on the 2019 reissue of Abbey Road that you can smell John's unshowered hair ever so slightly during I Want You.
😂😂😂 So that’s what that smell was!
I mostly listen to cds in the car these but there are a few albums I like better on cd than vinyl. Pretty good topic. All great albums you showed.
Thanks Jeff for posting this video.
I appreciate and think that this is an important topic.
Thank you1
Where do you purchase the day sleeves? That’s what I need.

Happy new year Tony!
cds are a great format - rumours , let it bleed, abbey all great happy new year
Happy new year John!
Journey's first album (before Steve Perry) spars code aad.
At 2min12 you can hear a tear drop run down Christine Mcvie's face! HA! Subscribed!
Thanks Robert! 😀
At 2:12 a teardrop running don her face! Oh stop it....
You can hear it more clearly on the Walmart vinyl pressing.
Good video. I never paid attention to the Fleetwood Mac track. I'll have to check it out.
Awesome man fantastic video
Thank you bro!
Great ( sounding) selections .
These are some CDs in my collection that have great sound :
Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd
Aja by Steely Dan
I Robot by Alan Parsons Project
Ziggy Stardust by David Bowie
Crime of the Century by Supertramp
Heartbeat City by The Cars
Cheers !
Those are all classics and sound great! Crime of the Century is the only one I have on vinyl but not CD.
Does the Rumours cd have the extended version of Gold Dust Woman that was only available on 8 track tape?
No unfortunately!
Deadpan perfected!
Great video. My CD edition of Rumours has an extra track stuck in the middle of it, which I find annoying, not sure why they didn’t put it on the end!! 😀👍🏼
Wow! I’m not a fan of breaking up the flow of a classic album like that either.
@@jeffwhitchervinyldestinati4486 I think they said the track was originally meant to be there, but have since taken it off later editions
One of my best sounding albums is Aja by Steely Dan which is also one of my best sounding CDs
Hard to top Aja, one of the best recorded and produced albums of all time. 👍👍
I'm testing sound systems...The best cd sounding cd i use...believe it or not...is Mezzanine (Massive Attack)...palette of sounds max large...female and male singing....max palette of sounds....
I need to pick that one up!
Paul McCartney greatest hits is a really good one.
Thank you for mentioning Abbey Road without mentioning the ultra-rare 1983 " black triangle version " that Hoffmanites pay hundreds of dollars for.
Anybody listens to Pendulum by CCR?
Would you mind sharing the upc code for that version on Romours? Or a link to where it might be available on line.
The UPC code is 8122796778. I actually bought it on Amazon.
@@jeffwhitchervinyldestinati4486 thank you. Love your honest videos.
I’ve been curious about the Let It Bleed SACD for years now. Do you think I would benefit from this copy, considering that I have a dedicated CD player, but not an SACD player?
I don’t have an SACD player and it still sounds amazing. Worth the purchase!
Good to know! Thank you!
The first pressing of Fleetwood Mac's "Rumors" was not up to par... the sound level was very low and required cranking the volume, but then, when the next CD would start, it would hurt my ears!
Yes! That was my experience also.

I bought some early cd`s that sounded terrible !!! back when they were new tech and were $30 a pop so they have come a long way ! but I`m not giving up my vinyl LOL !!!!!
Yes, those early Zeppelin CDs sound like garbage!
Listen to John Lennon singing "shoot me" on Come Together. Talk about irony.

The few CD's of the Beatles I own sound HORRIBLE....................
Piano stops not teardrops.
