Jennifer Warnes主唱的Famous Blue Raincoat: The Songs of Leonard Cohen
這張大碟主要向音樂創作人兼歌手Leonard Cohen致敬，是在1986年11月推出發行。Jennifer Warnes在1970年代與同Leonard Cohen曾經有合作，所以有意念出這張大碟，碟內的歌曲全部也是Leonard Cohen的創作，是涵蓋了Leonard Cohen在1969年至1984年的作品。這張大碟內有一張手繪圖的圖畫，也是出自Leonard Cohen手筆。

這一張Famous Blue Raincoat 藍雨褸可謂發燒圈內的經典大碟；為何會成為經典，因為錄音出眾、音樂相當好聽，基本可以說是發燒友人手一張。在1986年推出之後發行至今也出版過無數版本，今次為何同大家分享這張CD，因為最近市面上見到有一張24K 金碟版，這張之前見到是美國印碟，但今次看到這是日本印碟，引起我興趣想與大家玩玩版本比較。

這張藍雨褸的頭版是加拿大版CD編號是ACD-1227，而我手上也有一張是加拿大版，不過這張CD編號是ACDM 1227，所以這張加拿大版不是頭版。而另外美版的頭版CD編號是661 111-2，不過碟面是印著Made in West Germany。以上提到這三個版本也是在1986年這段時間推出，所以也算是早版。當然之後不同在不同年期、不同地方也推出過數之不盡的不同版本，不過好多我覺得不算是發燒版，所以我也不深入講。之後，直至2007年，就推出了Cisco 24K金碟版，這是紀念這張大碟推出20週年，所以發行，剛才提過最近有這個版本，用Impex出了一張日本版，所以引起今次同大家玩不同版本比較。在上一年2019年，就推出了一這張UHQCD，公開限量發售500張。另外，除了這張UHQCD之外，同時也推出了玻璃CD。大家看我介紹了這麼多個版本，可能也想知道之間的聲音分別，好的！我同大家講不同版本聲音分別，不過這麼多版本我也不齊全，所以先交代我手上要比較的版本給大家知。

主要比較以下多個版本藍雨褸版本：
1986年推出加拿大版，CD編號ACDM 1227
1993年推出的RCA 日版，編號是258 418 222
2007年推出的Cisco 24K金碟 20週年版，美國印碟，CD編號是GCD8011-2
Impex 24 K金碟 20週年版，美國印碟，編號是IMP8301
Impex 24K金碟 20週年版，日本印碟，編號是IMP8301
2019年推出 Impex 的 UHQCD版，日本印碟，編號是IMP8316
2019年推出 Impex 的玻璃CD版，日本印碟，編號是 IMP8316

先來比較兩張舊版，日版基本輸給加拿大版，可以說是完勝日本版，不過如果你用日本CD機可能有另外戰果有分別。這張拿加大版人聲比較厚暖，人聲比較突出，所以聽到相對伴奏音樂無這樣明顯，好像這首剛才提到Bird On a Wire這枝色士風沒有這樣清楚。當然如果喜歡厚暖人聲的發燒友也應該會喜歡這一張加拿大版。

至於這張2007年推出的20週年紀念版，內面是一張24K金CD碟版，因為這張大碟之後找到Bernie Grundman重新製版，所以聲音與之前的舊版有很大分別比較明顯，整體聲音平衡度更高，兩極伸延更好，還有聽多了細節更多，另外人聲（口形）也收細了，所以人聲與樂器之間比例更加適中佳，剛才提到Bird On a Wire這枝色士風聽多了更多細節聽得。

至於這三張金碟版到底如何比較？坦白說之間的分別沒有比舊版相差這麼大，這是非常接近。首先這張Cisco版音場比較闊和深，整體平衡度最高。至於日版（金碟版）音場相對較窄，聲音空間感沒有這麼大，Bird On a Wire開始幾下鈴聲相對收歛，但是人聲比較厚暖一些，不過整體勝在清清楚楚，細節交代很清楚。至於這張Impex 美版，基本是剛才這兩張的中間。

以我個人感覺，以上各個版本，我覺得各有捧場客，純粹個人口味我會喜歡Cisco美版多一點，當然這個與我的組合和我個人口味來決定，其他兩張實在相當接近，如果無直接比較，真的很難分別！

說回2019年推出這張UHDCD，在我感覺是Cisco版的加強版，聲音質素更高，如果真的要選，這張UHDCD會稍微勝Cisco版。

當然到最終極是玻璃CD，其他無得比！

The Atlantic Division is heading down to the wire. It's also heading down to the bottom.

Allen Iverson scored 38 points for Philadelphia, which beat Boston 97-93 on Sunday to snap a three-game losing streak and move three games behind the Celtics in the NBA's worst division. At one game below .500, Philadelphia could finish with the Eastern Conference's third seed or miss the playoffs altogether.

"The playoffs have started for a lot of teams and we haven't joined in the fray," said Boston coach Doc Rivers, hoarse after a game in which his team fell behind 26 points in the first quarter. "We really don't get it. I'm telling you, we don't."

Philadelphia moved a game ahead of Orlando for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Samuel Dalembert had 18 points and 15 rebounds for the Sixers, who played their third consecutive game with Chris Webber out because of a sprained left shoulder.

Iverson started and played 44 minutes, getting nine assists and six steals, despite a strained groin that put him out of the fourth quarter in Friday night's game against Dallas.

"Early in the game, we buckled down," he said. "I'm glad we did, because it shows we can play defense with the best of them."

Paul Pierce had 26 points and 13 rebounds and Raef LaFrentz had 14 points and 13 rebounds for the Celtics, who were without Antoine Walker (bruised left knee). Rivers said Walker will probably miss Tuesday's game at Washington and perhaps the rest of the week.

"But, listen," Rivers said. "They didn't have Webber, so no excuse for us. Antoine had nothing to do with this one."

Boston won 10 of 11 after acquiring Walker at the trading deadline, and Sunday's game was moved to the afternoon and put on national television after the surge threw the teams into a fight for the division title. But the Sixers have fallen to the verge of the lottery, and Boston lost three in a row before beating the Atlanta Hawks -- the NBA's worst team -- on Friday.

"It's a big game: national TV," said Ricky Davis, who scored 27 off the bench for Boston. "It's very embarrassing."

The Celtics would earn the third seed with a division title. But Boston is just ½-game ahead of Indiana for home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

The Celtics trailed 38-12 with 15 seconds left in the first quarter, and it was still a double-digit deficit late in the fourth when Davis hit a 3-pointer with 6:39 left to make it 83-75. Pierce and Al Jefferson each hit a pair of free throws to complete a 7-0 run that made it a four-point game.

Boston made it 93-90 in the final minutes when Pierce scored on a finger-roll layin from underneath the basket and drew a foul. But he missed the free throw, then Iverson scored off a screen at the top of the key to give the Sixers a five-point lead with 22.7 seconds left.

The Celtics made just 5-of-20 shots and committed seven turnovers in the first quarter. Philadelphia made 5-of-12 from 3-point range in the first but just 1-of-9 in the second, when the Celtics scored eight straight to close the gap and then cut it to 10 on Pierce's 3-pointer in the final second of the half.

Game notes
Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell took part in the national anthem, making good on a Super Bowl bet he made with his Massachusetts counterpart, Mitt Romney. Both governors wore Patriots jerseys; Rendell's wife, Midge, a trained opera singer, helped him finish the song. ... Kyle Korver went 1-for-6 from 3-point range to set the 76ers record for 3-pointers in a season with 198. The old mark was held by Dana Barros, who made 197 in 1994-95.
