Tony Williams Trio: Young at Heart | Paul - May 6, 2025

This was Sony Japan’s and the world’s first DSD (Direct Stream Digital) recording. Recorded in September of 1996.

Rachmaninoff: Symphony No. 1 - Wilson | Graham Williams - May 9, 2025

Joni Mitchell: Ladies of the Canyon | Downunderman - May 5, 2025
