La Spagna, Gregorio Paniagua and the Atrium Musicae de Madrid, BIS LP-163/4 Listening to the original and comparing to the reissue from AudioNautes that was 1/2 speed mastered by the late Stan Ricker. Later... I've now played the first track of the AudioNautes reissue - oh, yes! More open, more air around the instruments. Just a touch more clarity and resolution. I'd be happy with either one, but this reissue is really good. |
rushton, I too resisted the newest PF releases. I sprung for "Meddle" "Obscured By Clounds". "OBC" sounds smoother in a good way, has a more 3D character, but presents a very slightly softer transient response compared to my UK Harvest pressing. Overall, I like the new one. More pleasing to listen to. Listening today: Robert Plant and the Sensational Sound Shifters "lullaby and.. The Ceaseless Roar" Sara Watkins "Young In All The Wrong Ways" Love "Forever Changes" Nick Waterhouse "Never Twice" |
FWIW: Today, I compared the new "Meddle" to my UK Harvest. A similar result from above. The UK: presents as more detailed but this may be a result of it not sounding as smooth or warm as the new re-master. Has a more centralized soundstage. The new re-master: Smoother sounding. Has a warmth that the UK lacks. A wider and more delineated soundstage. Better integration of lower bass region. I prefer the new version for a more pleasing experience. |
FWIW: I just finished listening to my 2011 "WYWH" remaster. This one has a similar overall character that jumps out at me, reminding me of my previous two comparisons. The soundstage is "more centralized". This can't be correct. After listening to "Meddle"& "OBC", noticing those differences, I will be ordering the new re-master of "WYWH". I really love the wider, more delineated soundstage of the newer re-masters. It just sounds right. |

If so, you may get a re-press of the 2011 Doug Sax release, not a Bernie Grundman re-mastering. Be sure to ask if you’re looking for the same qualities that you’re hearing in Meddle.

palasr, Thanks for your post about the 12" single of Supertramp's 'Cannonball". I took a look on eBay and found one in the UK. It's on the way to my house. Hopefully its the correct one. It is a 12" 45 RPM single. Side 1 is Cannonball (Direct to Disk Version) and Side 2 is Cannonball (Instrumental). Looking forward to hearing it. |
I am clearly out of step with the primary listening adventures being reported. Gives me much to consider in my every expanding explorations, thank you! Last night: Hans Werner Henze: extracts from Elegie for Young Lovers, DGG 138876 Shostakovich, Symphony No. 5, Kogan/MoscowSSO, Classic Records CR 2001 (second listen and this performance has grown on me - very enjoyable) |
reubent, I meant to tell you, regarding "Year Of The Cat", I was recently gifted over 200 lps. This one was in the pile. As I listened (for the first time in over 20 years), a calm came over me. Not a bad sounding lp and certainly for around 40 minutes, I was taken back in time, in a good way. Thanks for your post. |
