Need a recommedation for a newer version Scott Joplin's Ragtime Music LP or CD
I need a few recommendations for a "newer version" of Scott Joplin's Ragtime Music. I had a copy on a Nonesuch label, played by Joshua Rifkin, but wore out the LP. I recently purchased a supposedly "new" copy of the same on e-bay that begins with two explosive pops and also other pops and clicks on both sides.
Therefore, I will not pursue that version again. I don't know if the original and first Nonesuch version was ever remastered in CD or LP, because the sound quality of the "original" Nonesuch recording I bought in 1974 was not stellar, but just acceptable
*****NOTE****: Let me also inquire if a remastered version in LP or CD of Weather Report's "I Sing the Body Electric" with better sound was ever made available. I just bought an LP copy off of Amazon that was rated as "Like-New" I t sounds OK, but is somewhat noisy with a few pops and clicks. Side two is better, but the sound despite excellent dynamics, sounds tinny and remote. Thank you
I checked store and all I have left is: https://www.discogs.com/sell/item/362319676?ev=bp_img The condition is very strong wax. Hopefully you'll chase the link before it gets cracked here. |
Where did you acquire them?? Also, how long ago?? Have you ever sampled one to evaluate the sound quality of the LP for pops, clicks, and surface noise??. I assume you are referring to the Nonesuch version with Joshua Rifkin at the keys. I have had three copies of this "version", two supposedly used/mint, and one sealed, and as noted they all sounded terrible and sucked How much would you sell one of the originals your have?? Thanks, Jim |
