Harry Pearson's TAS lists

388 Posts
Not an audiophile by any means, Im usually displaying an 
attitude.Ive come across a few records high in demand from being hyped up by Harry Pearson of The Absolute Sound magazine est. 1973. It isn't the first time I've been sure I'm feeling the effects of what exactly he's sipping on, the sounds I've been exposed to are pretty intoxicating. 
He has this "Super LP list" that circulates the web, some of the titles I've struck on aren't listed on it, but each one still has the "TAS list" rep on the web that he gave them in his magazine reviews somewhere along the line. Anyone have access to a mega-collective of all his picks from older issues?Another maybe silly question. He clarifies the origins of each album on this list, but I do believe his picks on Reprise, etc. the versions were from the European factories? Ive heard bad press about their stateside QA and realize as someone from the UK he would most likely be reviewing their output.For anyone interested,Harry Pearson's Super LP List Since I was in swaddling clothes (well, maybe not quite that far back) there has been just one "bible" for the LP collector interested in great music and great sound: Harry Pearson's Super Disk List. Those of us who grew up reading the absolute sound carried it with us to used (and new) record stores, garage sales, swap meets, library sales, the houses of widows looking to unload their late husbands' vinyl collections You name a place where "black gold" could be discovered and, odds are, you'd find a copy of Harry's Super Disk List in a bargain-hunter's back pocket. Many of us have committed the thing to memory, and, some of us have been so inspired by HP's list that we've become serious record collectors, too. (The Lord only knows how many audiophiles got their introduction to classical music via Harry's efforts.) So, here it is in its latest and most updatest edition. Those of you who know the musical and sonic treasures in store will doubtlessly start with the many new entries. And those few of you who don't know HP's list are in for a gen-u-ine treat. Herein are true marvels of the analog arts, arranged with the pick of the litter at the start.
