Record of the Day – 008: Liz Story

This one goes way back to my early audiophile days, when anything that was “half-speed mastered” or “recorded on audiophile vinyl” caught my attention and my wallet.

A trip to my favorite hifi store of the day, Audio Emporium, just outside of Milwaukee, WI where they were playing Ms. Story’s Solid Colors on a pair of Magnepan Tympanis.

Recorded by well known engineer Steven Miller, and pressed at RTI (yep, that’s how long they’ve been around…) this was great music on the Windham Hill label before they got labeled with the new age moniker. Captured at 30ips on a 2-track Studer, this is some amazing piano playing that sounds fantastic. Who says audiophile quality equals boring?

You can still find a copy of this very reasonable. It’s pressed on JVC vinyl and is a good addition to your reference collection.
