My mini review of the Prince "Sign O The Times" Super Deluxe Box Set
Includes 13 lps, a DVD, and a 120 page book.
My feeling about Prince as an artist is that he was a genius. Although he was kind of shy, he seemed to be an intellectual and a caring person. His feelings were drenched into his music.
This entire box set is on high quality vinyl, pressed on center (a rarity these days). The only lp that was not flat was lp 2 of the live record.
The first lp: I noticed the mix was heavy handed to the right. On side 2, this seemed to become less of an issue.
Going forward...to the Live lp... I was noticing the lack of deep bass on the bass drum and bass guitar. I’m not sure why but it felt like Prince wanted the focus to be on him. Sheila E on drums....I didn’t realize until over a year ago that she is related to Alejandro Escovedo, hence (E).
She can rock out when called upon. Sometimes the drum kit sounds electronic except when she is doing her solos.
Being a live lp, noticeable was the crowd noise relegated to a minimum. This is a let down for me as I want to hear the crowd reaction and how the musicions feed off it. This may have been the biggest let down for me on the live album.
Overall, the recording quality is great and consistent. I bought my sealed copy as a scratch and dent. It had a corner dent that’s not very noticeable for 20% off.
Taking in a 13 lp set is quite an undertaking and enjoyable when one is a music lover. Don't you youngsters try this without parental supervision....

I have a frozen syringe of the PPT I need to use. Just need to self-motivate. |
Well, I was reintroduced to Vinyl Me Please by @waltersalas . Thanks!
They find great music, remaster, then send to trusted pressing plants.
Thinking hard about becoming a member. |

For those you who have been on the fence regarding a US cleaner...... it’s a no-brainer. It will bring you closer to the artist/music.
I have almost a decade of experience with them. Started with the Audio Desk then moved down to a Chinese tank, then a DIY filtering system. Now very happy with my Vibrato w/ my filtering system. |

@bkeske Brian,
Joni is releasing lps from her archives. I mentioned the "Live @ Canterbury House _ 1967" a while back. It's a wonderful three lp set presented beautifully. |
Just noticed a dbl lp available with second lp being acoustic. Wasn’t aware when I pre-ordered mine. If I remember correctly, the Crooked Still lp has great SQ as well.
|
Saw that Doobie Brothers during that tour at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
