Weather Report Albums We’ve Reviewed
We recently compiled a list of records we think every audiophile should get to know better, along the lines of “the 1001 records you need to hear before you die,” but with less accent on morbidity and more on the joy these amazing audiophile-quality recordings can bring to your life.
The list is purposely wide-ranging. It includes some famous titles (Tumbleweed Connection, The Yes Album), but we’ve gone out of our way to choose excellent titles from famous artists that are less well known (Atlantic Crossing, Kiln House, Dad Loves His Work), which simply means that you won’t find Every Picture Tells a Story or Rumours or Sweet Baby James on this list because masterpieces of that caliber should already be in your collection.
Many of these may not be to your taste, but they sure were to ours.
Out of the thousands of records we have auditioned and reviewed, here are a hundred or two that are less well known, yet have stood the test of time for us. As such, we think are more than deserving of a serious listen.
Sweetnighter checks off a number of boxes for us here at Better Records
- It’s a well recorded album that should be more popular with audiophiles
- It’s a jazz demo disc, especially when played on big speakers at loud levels
- It’s a personal favorite and part of our core jazz collection
- For fans of funky jazz fusion, this is a must own jazz title from 1973.
