Music Power 爵士樂討論區

我不是音響迷，家中音響服役10多年了，我從沒有換過器材，不過在以往敗家過程中，TAS 的榜單也是我選片的重要參考標準之一，有能事者，對 TAS 榜單或主事者 Harry Pearson (HP)有如此如此這般這般....的意見，不過這只是參考的依據，我不知道是否有人照單全收，我也不是雜食性音樂愛好者，Jazz 部分是我最注意的部分，其他 Pop 或 Rock 的部分，就部分挑著看了。

這份2012年的 TAS 榜單是台南惟因苦桑給我的，我聽到有這樣的榜單，直直流口水，趕緊請他在現場 email 給我，因為在實體雜誌沒落下，音樂資訊的獲得有限，我壓根兒不知道有這樣最新的 TAS 榜單！

顧名思義當然只是推薦 LP，榜單分為三個部分：

ROCK , POP , AND FOLK

CLASSICAL

JAZZ    

就 JAZZ 部分可以發現，榜單多以 Classic Records、Analogue Productions ….等重刻片為主，而且有很大一部分比例為 45轉的唱片，很多重刻片都已經絕版，不過這些重刻片至少應該會比原始版片好找些，若找不到上榜的版本，找其他的黑膠版本或 CD，應該也能享受到音樂的美好，音響性仍應有一定的程度。

我只整理出來 JAZZ 的部分 (但也只是貼圖和寫無關緊要的文字)，英文字黑體的部分為原有 TAS 的文字簡介，其他的兩個部分，等我有空，再找圖來貼出來吧！
