thanks, I just ordered it for my Birthday prize next week!
Ry Cooder & V.M. Bhatt - A Meeting By The River IS AMAZING!
This album as issued by Analogue Productions on 45 RPM 2LP is worth every penny.
It’s simply one of the best sounding recordings I have ever heard. It’s like the music surrounds you while listening and all sense of audio gear disappears. Not only the SQ though, the quality of the music being performed is just wonderful. There’s also a great story of how this project came together detailed in the liner notes.
Several threads have been posted asking what’s the best recording to show off your system. This is mine.
Also, I loved this LP so much that I also purchased the Analogue Productions super hi-rez download of it. I was surprised and disappointed to find that the hi-rez version is not even close to the LP in SQ.
I cannot recommend this pressing more strongly. Get it while you can! Also, I will add I have no vested interest in promoting this other than sharing the joy of discovery. Cheers

I got mine, played it, love it, however, it is not well balanced, a perfect example of the benefit of remote balance control from your listening position. I needed to boost the left channel a few clicks, more than a speck. a. boosted Ry up as V.M Bhatt was much louder on right channel b. moved imaging of two drummers, they became properly distinct from each other. I thought: maybe it's my system, put on Cassandra Wilson, voice rock center as always, 3 guitatists, distinct and balanced which only happens when everything is right, put Ry and V.M. back on, needed left channel boosted, it's the recording. |
uber this gives you info about the music content. trust everybody, it is a superb quality recording https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2UT9rsVLuc as I said, I boosted the left channel some. I actually forgot it was 45rpm, and put it on for Donna, still set for 33. After a short while I figured it out, but let it finish the side. It's amazing how good it sounds at that slower speed, no vocals, and high speed guitars and drums played 25% slower, funny, one drum seriously altered, reminds you of some Sgt. Pepper's sound effects. |
