Eric Clapton covers Robert Johnson


Just paid $29 for this. It really sounds terrible. The high end is awful. I don't recommed it.

Crazyforblues4- Haven't adjusted it. I had a dealer install the cartridge and have never adjusted anything. What's upsetting is that this received a fabulous review online somewhere so I was expecting a sonic treat. His DVD Unplugged is one of my favorites. I think he is touring so maybe I can see and hear him in person.

Also just spent a small fortune on brand new DCC CD Queen's Day at the Races. Totally unlistenable. Going to send it back. I then put on For Duke on my turntable for some good music!

BTW, Tower Records is having a good sale on 300 CD. Millenium Collection. $7.99 and there are many good ones. I bought five today.

Are you sure? The only Queen on DCC I know of is "A Night At the Opera" GZS-1144. I have all the Gold DCCs.

I like the Eric Clapton CD - but I'm not ecstatic about it.

Aloha from Hawaii. For those of you interested in the album but who don't want to drop $30 or so, there is a 140 gram version pressed by Classic Records as well. Found it in my local shop for $18.00. Nice and flatpressing. The music is pretty good too.

Norah Jones 120/140 gram LP on BLue Note by comparison is poorer. The pressing isnt that flat and the glue has come undone on both top and bottom of the record jacket.

Haven't listened enough to the EC to comment on the highs, but for sure there was digital work done on this. Enjoy the music first though!

Terry:

I wonder if the album jacket's glue isn't more suseptible to the Hawaiian humidity?

BTW, I just ordered a stack of 140 grams from Mosaic's website (actually it's Trueblue.com, which is linked to Mosaic, which is itself linked to the Blue Note site). ANYWAY, these pressings are usually $10.95, which I think is a heckuva deal for some brand-new vinyl. We'll see how it goes.
Humid in Hawaii? Been there four times, never found it humid. Maybe you're thinking of the Caribbean.

I also never cared for ECs work after Derek and the Dominos. Sonewhat passionless and mundane compared to Cream.
