I don't know if this falls into the same category, but a long time ago I bought Steve Winwood's "Arc of a Diver" LP. Loved the music, but I also found the production to be remarkably good. I bought his previous releases and made sure to pick up a copy of the new records he released. Same thing happened to me with Dire Straits and Blue Rodeo, bought 'em all. I figure even if the songs aren't ideal, the production quality will make the listening session pleasant.
Quality of recording vs Musical tastes
How many of you have ended up "expanding your horizons" musically simply because:
A) you were tired of the poor recordings that "popular music" typically has to offer ?
OR
B) you bought something because it was a known good recording even though you don't normally listen to that type of music ?
I have to say that i am "guilty" on both counts and glad of it.
Before you start nodding your head in agreement, how about passing on some of the "gems" that opened your eyes to a "whole nother world" and how you ended up selecting them. Sound like a way to share some good yet "hidden" music ??? I hope so : ) Sean
