Pros and Cons hopefully with the uncensored butt.
I saw Rog perform the promo tour in London. Have the program. The Brits thought the censored image was ridiculous.
Great album.

The Lord’s Prayer Roy Harper - Lifemask (Harvest 1973) So during a trip, Roy wrote a song journey into the human condition while staring at a painting of Geronimo. It’s called The Lord’s Prayer and it takes up a side. |

The Beatles - A Collection Of Beatles Oldies (Parlophone 1966)
Ha ha ha... BLOWS away the 2019 Abbey Road reissue.
You can hear their real voices. The rosin on the violins and the cello vibrations. Louder and way more dynamic. Drum kit is real. Handclaps in the room. Strummed guitar strings sound so real you can hear the color of the metal.
|
Sylvia Syms - For Once In My Life (Prestige 1967)
Great voice.

|
Patti Page – Indiscretion (Mercury 1959 mono)
Up on the pistonic driver rig. How the hell can 1959 make a recording so much better than 2020? Even wifey asked what was because she could hear how awesome it sounded through the floor.
|
John Lennon – Walls And Bridges (Apple 1974)

Various – The Young Fogies (Heritage 1985)
Deep South moonshine music. Awesome.

Love this guy. |
Roosevelt Sykes - Sings the Blues (Crown 1963)

Phoebe Snow. 1974. Shelter records. $4. Fabulous. Clean, crisp, transparent recording (before they destroyed music with digital.)
|
@bkeske Welcome to the monobloc club! Looks good. Care to comment on SQ?
|
Leonard Cohen – Songs From A Room (CBS 1969)
|
Bill Anderson – I Can Do Nothing Alone (Decca 1967)
Country gospel with more than a tinge of evangelical arm waving. Good recording and musically decent. Not for me as I am a heathen. But good music of even minor historical significance performed with passion on an analog record played on a decent rig can be so enjoyable.
|
@bkeske Thanks for the lowdown on the nitty-gritty! I like the way you used loading as an indication of refinement. The less loading you can get away with, the better.

Benny Goodman Trio-Quartet-Quintet - S/T [1936-8 recordings] (RCA Victor 1956 mono)
While sounding of its era, it still captures the color and vitality of the live acoustic with more delicacy than many flat modern digital recordings.
|
The Benny Goodman Quartet - Together Again! (RCA 1964)
A Dynagroove recording. Sounds great too. Must be something to do with the:
"...highly ingenious computers - electronic brains - have been introduced into audio for the first time."
Little did they know.
|
Various – When The Wind Blows - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Virgin 1986)
B side - Roger Waters. Masterpiece. For those who dig The Final Cut. |
@uberwaltz Well, one's named after a folk character in an old song and the other a dildo.
I could never get into them at all. |
Scott Hamilton And Buddy Tate – Scott's Buddy (Concord Jazz 1981)
|
1959 Decca Porgy and Bess with Sammy Davis Jr and Carmin McRae. It is not in good condition. It is clean but it had not been treated well. Who cares? The sound (notwithstanding Sammy's strident vocals) is fantastic. The stage depth is insane and the balance is spot on. No bloated bass. Brass is colorful and mass strings are sweet as a nut. There is nothing in digital that can touch what we have thrown away.
|
--1976 Japanese pressing Denon PCM early digital recording of Beethoven Symphony No.9 Choral. It’s in mint condition. Shame it sounds so bad. Flat. Compressed. Unemotional. Crap.
-- Mozart String Quartets 14 and 15 KV387, KV421 Alban Berg on Telefunken. 1970. Silent vinyl. Beautiful recording. You can feel the cello bow rosin leaving the horsehair. Melodic and colorful. Sit up and listen insightful. It actually sounds like their old tubes! Maybe I'm imagining it.
