GREAT MUSIC - SO POORLY RECORDED...

HI TO ALL... Made a change to isolating my speakers, so I'm pawing thru my CDs and listening for the changes/improvements - and I put in one of the all-time greats (IMHO), and I am still so disappointed in the quality of the recording:
BAT OUTTA HELL by Meatloaf (luv ELLEN FOLEY ON "... Dashboard Lights..."): UGH!

What are your personal disappointments?

Another for me: THE DANCE by Fleetwood Mac : OVERLY Bass heavy

@bongofury1956,

The disappointment is that we will spend small fortunes on equipment and purchase multiple versions of a recording (CD, SACD, Anniversary Issue, Remastered Issue, Original Vinyl, MoFi Vinyl, Blu Ray Disc, etc.) in the quest to get something that just sounds better than mediocre or worse.

Yeah, people were around the mics for Layla and Exile on Main Street (my two peeves), but either the mics were for crap or the engineer or artist had imbibed or smoked or whatever too much.  Someone wasn't checking the meters.

It's just a shame.  Nothing more, nothing less.
