The Weezer lp is IMO, sonically underwhelming. I like the band though.
"Fallen Angel" is up next.
The first song sounds very much like Foghat. |
"Fallen Angel" turned out to be a highly enjoyable lp! I'm going to post a note in my brain to search out an original pressing. |
Grateful Dead "In The Dark". My copy is a record club pressing, still, what a great sounding lp! |
AC/DC "'74 Jailbreak" from my 2003 (box) Collection. Mastered by George Marino from the original two track masters.....according to the hype sticker. It sounds great! |
AC/DC "Powerage"....not from the aforementioned "collection/box" |
Def Leppard "Hysteria" SV |
Charles Lloyd Quartet - A Night in Copenhagen (Blue Note 1983)
Wonderful live recording with lots of delicate piano details. Deep soundstage with good audience vibe.
Syd Barrett - The Madcap Laughs (Harvest 1970)
Elvis Costello - Secret, Profane & Sugarcane (Hear 2009)
|
@slaw
Uriah Heep - Firefly (Bronze 1977)
Uriah Heep - High & Mighty (Bronze 1976) |
Middle Passage ... Ginger Baker.
RIP Ginger Baker. |
Sammy Hagar - S/T
Sounds dated. I guess it is. |
George Thorogood - Born To Be Bad |
@noromance Charles to Syd, now that is a LEAP....
spinning the 2012 remaster on Legacy of Graceland....
not trying to start a fight, Lord knows I fully invested in Digital and it’s related black arts, but the track Homeless is an analog tour de force for echo, delay, attack, sustain in the acoustic space....yum
fun, enjoy the music... |
I thought Graceland was digitally recorded and edited then mixed down to 30ips tape... so DDA? |
@noromance Fremer says otherwise and also talks about the OP being DMM direct metal master, but I agree with my faulty memory acounted for, that this reissue is way better than my OP ( long since sold ) and my digital server copy of the CD...
moved on to the fresh new and RELAXED Another Time, Another Place by Jennifer Warnes...nice song selection, lets her hair down a bit....well recorded, excellent pressing quality, so far... |
@tomic601
From Roy Halee the engineer on Graceland:
"The amount of editing that went into that album was unbelievable," Halee asserts. "We recorded everything analogue, so it sounded really good, but without the facility to edit digital I don't think we could have done that project. The first thing I did was take the material to New York and put it on the Sony machine. Then we edited, edited, edited like crazy, put it back on analogue, took it to LA to overdub Linda Ronstadt or whoever, brought it back to New York, put it back on digital and edited some more. We must have done that at least 20 times, and if not for digital we could have ended up with just as many generations of recordings."

@noromance well then thanks for the illumination of the bastard child, which frankly sounds great!!!! Fremer even references a conversation w Roy but obviously simplifies the A to D edit, back to A production thread...as a 30 ips stereo master dump to direct metal...ha. I certainly learned something.....
|
finally a MFSL GAIN 2 worthy of lavish praise and i am only 2 of 4 sides in...Alison Krauss & Union Station - So Long So Wrong |
@tomic601 I saw Paul Simon perform Graceland in London back in 1990 ish.
|
is anybody in the august group Erasure fan ? I have a minty copy of Wonderland on Intervention ( IR-009 ) that while I cannot seem to connect with, would be happy to send it along to someone who would APPRECIATE it and undertake some similar pay it forward notion to another soul.... |
finishing out the eve with Patricia Barber - Nightclub. Lovely sonics |
Finishing up "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", sides 3&4. Lots of hits and popular tunes from Sir Elton. But it's still not as good as "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy" for me.
