Patsy Cline – I Can't Forget You (Sears 1966)
Lee Andrews And The Hearts – Dean Tyler Presents Lee Andrews And The Hearts - Live On Stage (Lost Nite 1965)
~This is a pretty bright recording with in your lap audience whistles. Lots of energy with the Decca. Where's that old Nagaoka?
|
The Platters – Life Is Just A Bowl Of Cherries! (Mercury 1961)
~Sweet album of great music. Life sounded happy back then. A classic. Recording solid and lively. Great test of some interesting voices.
|
Mendelssohn / Bruch / Zino Francescatti, Szell, Schippers – Concerto In E Minor For Violin And Orchestra, Op. 64 / Concerto In D Major For Violin And Orchestra, Op. 35 (Columbia Masterworks 1962)

~ not a great recording unfortunately. Loud parts seem compressed.
|
Beethoven - Arthur Rubinstein, Boston Symphony Orchestra / Erich Leinsdorf – "Emperor" Concerto (RCA Victor Red Seal 1964)
~ much better.
|
|
Anna Maria Alberghetti – Songs By Anna Maria Alberghetti (Mercury Wing 1960 mono [1955 RE])
Recording sounds of the era, but her voice...
This is how you know your Decca is tracking perfectly. Super. |
The Kinks – Preservation Act 1 (RCA Victor 1973)
|
@slaw Jim's using his Vandy amps is all. |
The St. Louis Ragtimers – The St. Louis Ragtimers Volume 2 (Audiophile 1962)
Great music. Sweet dynamic recording. Black backgrounds. That's all that matters. Probably using black plate tubes. Listened to same era recording from the mid 80s and it was grey and mushy by comparison. How did they mess it up? |
@tomic601 Junior Wells? Hold my beer. |
@spirit - Not that subtle! She pierced an eardrum! |
@slaw You're the dedicated responder? Report It's a sweet deal. Want me to sign you up? |
@spiritofradio Re tracking. When the opera singer hits E over high C and it sounds clean and free.

Martin Stephenson And The Daintees – Gladsome, Humour & Blue (Kitchenware 1988)
Bought when it was released. A collection of superb soft folk blues songs of outstanding originality. A masterpiece but for one thing—the recording is not the greatest on vinyl. |
+1 Welcome to my Nightmare
Gary Numan – Savage: Songs From A Broken World (BMG 2017)
