The Band "Music From Big Pink" 2018/Capitol/45 rpm
I’m not a The Band expert. I know Eric is out there reading this. I have no other lp for comparison besides a well worn pp I got for .50 cents.
Frankly, I would never have paid much attention to The Band if it wasn’t for Eric’s posts. So, I thank him for that!
Listening now, I get the (greatness), I understand the way they were ahead of their time.
So...as far as SQ goes, I wonder how they achieved the fantastic SQ I’m hearing.?
50 years on, this sounds fresh. Far better than I'd ever imagined.

mono repress
way better than the messy pan of the original |
The Band was all pre digital but importantly for both Big Pink and The Basement Tapes ( Dylan w The Band backing ) imo the sound quality and feel come from 3 things
recording relatively stress free at “
home “, almost direct to RtR with minimal tracks so simple submixers used and no fix it in the mix mentality, finally relatively simple but musical Revox A and B series machines required them to play live together....
I got The Basement Tapes ( MoFi ) on right now.... |

@slaw they had some pretty good material to work with as well.... |
@j_damon
Played my old copy of Aoxomoxoa a few days ago. Hadn’t listened to it in a long time, and figured it was going to be in pretty bad shape. But, lo and behold, it is still in pretty good shape. I always liked that album.
|
Jim,
I sent my "Live" Teskey Brothers lp back as it was defective. Looking forward to a nice replacement. |
Hey @bkeske,
You have a lp cleaner? |
Hall & Oates - Voices. This is one of the more disappointing MFSL releases. I had to send one back because it was super noisy. I could only listen to it for about 30 seconds and had to take it off the turntable. This one doesn't have noise but it's really bright and there's sound sibilance in the vocals. |
@slaw You have a lp cleaner? yep, just a Spin-Clean, but thinking of making a better investment. |
@bkeske,
As much as you listen, you'd be wise to invest in good cleaner. |
Oh, believe me, I’ve been ‘window shopping’ ;-) |
Invest is the proper phrase.
|
Thanks Slaw
