We interupt this string of backlogged CD postings for a report on what I am
really listening to right now.................
The FedEx man brought me a box really magical vinyl goodies this morning.
Carole King: The Carnegie Hall Concert - June 18, 1971
MoFi 2 LP SetGreat music, Great performance, Great sound
From the MusicDirect web site:
"Mobile Fidelity's remastered sound ties everything together and is what makes this release extra special. By going to the original source, the audiophile label considerably opens up the sonic perspectives, revealing the spacious acoustics of the famed venue that act in concert with Kings music. In particular, the songs from Writer benefit from the no-nonsense production. You can literally picture Kings piano beside her, and her voicesincere, tender, melodicis rich, full-bodied, and penetrating. Listeners can even hear it crack on occasion, the results a consequence of her nerves. Unpolished and non-synthetic, the performance is better for it."
