Oh man.. this Jennifer Hudson is really something...the movies is off the roof..almost everyone in the audience cried when Jennifer sang "And I am Telling You", and the all stood up and gave standing ovation when the scene ended. It's an extroadinary performance..

That movies is supposed to win an oscar for Beyonce.. but unfortunately, Jennifer just made Beyonce look so "deficient"..

Here's Jennifer at her best, the real singing start after 4 mins:

And here's Beyonce so-called "best performance"..yuck..

I agree this was Jennifer's party but Beyonce was fine.  Her character did not have nearly the depth etc... of Hudson's character.  Hudson has a better voice but Beyonce is a better all around talent.  They needed to market the movie thus the Beyonce hype and when people saw Hudson, you were so taken aback because it was unexpected.

As I posted before, I haven't seen a better performance in the last 12 months, ranks as one of my most memorable and she deserves every award she's nominated for.  She was born to play that role and it came very naturally to her.  Good movie, good time at the theater, my audience also clapped and cheered. It was not a passive experience.
Now I gotta pick up that soundtrack.

Eddie was also very good.

If you define "All around talent" = pretty face + bodilicious appeal

Singer, songwriter, producer, dancer, actor, wonderful live performer, clothing designer... and yes beautiful and sexy (they can be mutually exclusive.)  This young lady is not just a pretty face, that would be Jessica Simpson.  I would also say that Beyonce can sing a wider range of material than Jennifer.  In a certain genre, yes Jennifer has a much more impactful voice.  I enjoy them both, it may be like a speaker comparision, Beyonce is a wonderful speaker top to bottom and plays a wide range of music equally good.  Hudson has deeper bass extension, with a midrange to die for.   :)

Now, Jennifer is just beginning her career so we'll see what she has to offer.  Beyonce has been a professional for nearly 10 yrs and proven she's more than a flavor of the month.

See the movie, buy the album
Good stuff.

I guess we just have to disagree on the "talent" of Ms Knowles, because her voice simply does not appeal to me. There're hundreds more female vocals that're better than Beyonce. Her voice has no emotion for me, no matter how hard she tried.

One thing for sure, Beyonce will not become Beyonce today without her look & her body, that's what makes me oooooze after her for.. :D, but that's all I felt about her, lucky Jay-Z.

Still think that Beyonce is a good song writers? Apparently I'm not the only one who disagree:

Modern Pop music is producer driven.  With so many hands in the cookie jar, it's obvious there is going to be multiple input.  Everybody's wants co writing credit, it's called royalties.  This should be nothing new.  I say she's a songwriter because I remember watching some old footage with my wife of her and as a teenager and she had a book or two of material.  Of course once you get in the studio they have to craft it into a hit or workable song.  The producer brings his ideas to the table ($$$) and any pop artist is lucky to contribute 50% to the process.  This is no longer a personal endeavor, this is a business and there are millions at stake so things will be crafted, pre written, tweaked and previewed before release.  Just like your HT3's probably aren't 100% Jim Salk, there's a little D. Murphy in there and who knows what other concepts, ideas Salk borrowed or studied to bring the final product to your ears.

I can understand if her voice doesn't move you, that's personal, there's always a better singer.  Go to Hudson's church and you'll find 3 more singers just as good and 5 better.  I know that, that's a given to me, very few can sing better than those with the gospel/soul background IMO.

You have to give people credit for their talents and hard work, not everyone can be Beyonce or Hudson.  They've made it for a reason, all aspects of them considered.  To dismiss either due to their looks is "Entertainment Tonight"

Again, a better case would be Jessica Simpson or Britney Spears.  I think they fit your example better. Beyonce is much more talented than either of them.

What kinda discussion are we having here, Beyonce is living her dreams, has sold 100 million records, done world tours and now making movies.  There has to be talent there, if not then where do I sign up.  I simply have little critic for those lucky people as long as they are happy and not hurting anyone.  I am not a Jessca Simpson fan but she's doing her thing and as long as she doesn't lose too much integrity and plays fair in life, what can I say, I have my own life to worry about.

As The kids say: Stop Hatin'  :P  
You saw the movie and bought the album, Thumbs Up
Sit back and "Listen" to Beyonce and Jennifer, they both have something to offer.

The different between Jim Salk and Beyonce is: Jim Salk never claimed that his speakers are 100% Salk. In fact, he put it in his webpage that the crossover is designed by the near-legendary Dennis Murphy.

Beyonce, on the other hand, try to take credit for writing the songs she never wrote.

By the way, Beyonce never sold 100milion albums on her own. Album sales has little to do with singing talents. Jessica Simpson has no talents whatsoever. Britney Spears - Oh my God - even sister can sing better than her. Yes, if you're comparing Beyonce with these two, certainly Beyonce has better singing skills.

I grew up in the church environment where I heard good singers everyday of my life. There's a "minimum standard" each singer has to meet before I can say that they know how to sing. Perhaps my standard is too high for Ms Knowles.

Anyway, I know you're a Beyonce fan. It's futile to debate with fans... I still remember last year you said about D-Wade alone was able to carry the whole Miami team to winning a ring... but unfortunately, this years results proves that Shaq is still very important.

Anyway, I lose.... :lol:  :lol:

AliG you are too funny,

I like Beyonce but not too much to defend her per se,  I just think one's bias can cloud the fact that she is successful for a number of different reasons including and excluding her beauty.  It's just not fair the way people discredit and rip people on trivial points.  When I hear of someone working their tale off and enjoying success, I have to give them credit.  My personal opinion aside.

I got on my wife last night too, because she said she respected J. Lo for her accomplishments but didn't like her much.  I simply said I'm glad you can give her credit but babe you don't even know this woman not to like her.
I am not an Entertainment tonight type person and could care less about celebs and their lives per se, I just want to enjoy their art, unless they are doing something else to help the world.  I just want people to stop being negative and appreciate what a person brings to the table, nobody's perfect.  I told my wife to stop hatin' too, and boy was she mad. But she knew she was hatin' (that's a fun concept, make me feel young and hip)

Beyonce and others are pop artists, I don't know in what context she doesn't fit that bill, what exactly is one expecting from her.  When I see her advertised and her saying she is the voice of our generation, then I will have critism.  I don't recall making those comments about Wade, no player can be the team.  If I did say that directly then I retract my comments.  Like this situation, I was saying give the man credit and not discount his achievements simply because of Shaq.  His numbers are the same with and without Shaq and I was saying that he has that "it" to be able to get it down when most needed.  The team is/was playing like crap mostly, even when Shaq was in the line up.  They are mostly old and not hungry anymore and believe they can turn it on when needed.  I watch almost every game and watch and read about them, that is the sentiment about this team.  But I fully expect them to be there in the end competing for a championship.  

Now Wade and Beyonce have enough accolades, that should speak for itself.

Now this is the album review section, so....

I found this one most enjoyable.
Wonderful vocals and players.
I've heard a little about this artist, finally picked up the CD and will be adding more of her stuff to my collection.[/img]

I just finished listening to "Ella in Berlin".  Ella Fitzgerald was never better!  This may be the best Jazz vocal concert ever recorded...  The scat in "How High The Moon" is unbelievable.  "Summertime" and "Misty" witll tear out your heart.  Not a minute of filler on the whole disk. 

My father saw Ella twice.  Once as a very young girl and once as the mature artist.  We listened to her often.  I wish he could have been here with me this afternoon.  The music brought tears of joy!

Eva Cassidy- "Songbird". An angel taken to soon. Any style any song a voice to remember. Check out "Over The Rainbow" Your gonna melt. Then go to "Blues Alley" CD.

Shirley Horn- "You Won't Forget Me" Listen to this Woman play the piano. Soft, delicate, goosebump city. Some great musicians on this CD.

Dick Hyman- "From The Age Of Swing" Ref. Rec.  Classy swing at its best.



Happy listening,

I have recently listened to Robben Ford - "Truth" a couple of times and I'm impressed. 

He is a very musical blues based guitar player with a wide range of chops.  On the whole, the song writing is good.  The cover tracks are good as well.  The disk flows well from start to finish, but has several tracks that stand alone and could make it into a play list.  The recording/mix is good on most of the disk.  A couple of guests make suprise appearences and the basic band has rock solid, strong performances.

On the whole, I recommend this guy for those of you that like blues rock.  Loads of fun.

   "Careless Love" by Madelaine Peyroux.  Terrific sound, very wide stage and superb transients. Drumkit seems a little wide, but the closely miked guitar is in the room!  We saw her at The Winery (Chateau Ste Michelle in Lynwood, WA) in August, an outdoor evening concert, and became  addicted to her creamy, unique singing.  SHe was a street musician in Paris for some years, the comparison to Billie Holiday is often made, but I think she has a better voice.

Supposedly they are full remixes. The Love record was completely remixed and got such great acceptance Yoko is seeing green again. My wife saw the show in Vegas, said it was incredible. They are remixing and tweeking every track second by second. The jock on the classic rock station says they sound incredible.

I don't have a fancy photo.. but imagine glowing tubes and a green faceplate with lots of chrome.. mmm Sunday morning classical on a 1965 'tuna' I bought from Doug S. (modified McIntosh MR-65 w/ MPX stereo)  It sounds better than I'd hoped so I'm very pleased..

It's a nice drizzly morning with some kind of choral/long-harmonized-note singing ('singing of mass'?) classical stuff on the radio.. whilst I sip some coffee and ease into the day.. 8)  Life is good.

I'm way to anal to use a random mix for me its a big compromise to only play one side of album and not the whole thing. Which most likely is one of the reason radio drives me nuts.

Nice cover. Gee man how come my Sonny Rollins CDs don't have covers like that. Anyway cannot stop listening to Sonnys' 911 concert. Just nonstop brilliance . Very well recorded live CD. Miked properly IMO as the audience is set in front of the speakers putting me in the audience instead of with the group on stage. You will know this was recorded outside in the open air. If you can hear the siren in the beginning of track five about a minute and 20 in then my dear Nervosa heads you have one resolving system. Check it out Jazz fans.

Charles,

I completely agree with the Rollins selection (and that ALL covers should be like the one above  :lol:).  His mastery is astounding.  No other word for it.  Seeing him live was my greatest musical experience.

Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge
The Pierces

 Secret Lyrics


Got a secret
Can you keep it?
Swear this one you'll save
Better lock it, in your pocket
Taking this one to the grave
If I show you then I know you
Won't tell what I said
Cause two can keep a secret
If one of them is dead

Why do you smile
Like you have told a secret
Now you're telling lies
Cause you're the one to keep it
But no one keeps a secret
No one keeps a secret
Why when we do our darkest deeds
Do we tell?
They burn in our brains
Become a living hell
Cause everyone tells
Everyone tells

Got a secret
Can you keep it?
Swear this one you'll save
Better lock it, in your pocket
Taking this one to the grave
If I show you then I know you
Won't tell what I said
Cause two can keep a secret
If one of them is dead

Look into my eyes
Now you're getting sleepy
Are you hypnotized
By secrets that you're keeping?
I know what you're keeping
I know what you're keeping

Got a secret
Can you keep it?
Swear this one you'll save
Better lock it, in your pocket
Taking this one to the grave
If I show you then I know you
Won't tell what I said
Cause two can keep a secret
If one of them is dead

[spoken]
Alison?
Yes, Katherine.
I have something I want to tell you, but
you have to promise to never tell anyone.
I promise
Do you swear on your life?
I swear on my life
[end spoken]

You swore you'd never tell
You swore you'd never tell

You swore you'd never tell
You swore you'd never tell

Got a secret
Can you keep it?
Swear this one you'll save
Better lock it, in your pocket
Taking this one to the grave
If I show you then I know you
Won't tell what I said
Cause two can keep a secret
If one of them is dead
(chorus x 3)

Yes two can keep a secret
If one of us is... Dead.

For some odd reason Rock was on my mind. A rare thing theses days as Jazz ad Classical have taken over.
  First up The Who "Live at Leeds", Lead Zeppelin 2, Allman Brothers "Live at the Filmore", Tull " Aqualung", Moody Blues" Question of Balance", Doors  "Morrison Hotel" and the closer Rolling Stones " Get your Ya Ya's Out" live.
  Well brought back some memories. Actually enjoyed the trip down memory lane. Some albums were compressed sounding but the music came through. Maybe its time to check out the Classic Records catalog to see what they have reissued. I believe they have reissued some Tull and the Who.

Then moved back to vinyl for an old Keith Jarret record (not too much background singing on that one), but I forget the title and don't see it on Amazon.

I'll be playing more Saturday during the rainstorm. Need to check out a new Burson buffer that I have on loan ... and of course that Kirkland beer.

Black Sabbath VOL 4.  When I fist saw them on their Paranoid tour in Winnipeg 1971,Centennial Concert Hall, which seats about 2500 people, I was impressed. I had 6th row tickets and when you saw a wall of speakers on each side of the stage you didn't know what to expect until they played. It was so loud, but yet so clear it didn't hurt the ears.  These walls of speakers were about 30 feet hight and 20 feet wide. In front of each wall was a scaffold with about 4 or 5 walkways and a guy on each one.  They would keep walking back and forth during the concert listening to each speaker to see if it was blown and if it was it was immediately replaced. Going home on the bus that was when it really hit me on how loud it was.  My ears were ringing and I could hardly hear anybody talking at normal conversation levels. Luckily I was OK the next morning.

Bacobits-

Did I inspire you to pull out your Crusaders albums?  Or was it just random and lucky?

My favorite stuff from them is from the early '70's.  "Unsung Heroes" and the live "Scratch" are big on my rotation.  Both came out after they started funkin' but before they got a corporate logo.

Scott, have you ever heard "Like Red on a Rose" from Alan Jackson?
It's the best sound quality Mr. Jackson has (that I've heard). Very nice. Unlike most modern country, there is a distinct lack of "redneck". These are very tasteful tracks without all the twangy steel guitar stuff (I dislike so much).
Even somebody like Randy would understand and enjoy it.  :-P

You got that at Princeton Record Exchange, right?  Was that the record in place of "Blue Spring?"  Good choice.

Quote
Stefan Goldmann finally unleashes his highly anticipated debut album "The Transitory State". The album features Stefan Goldmann's most significant works from 2005 til 2008 for the Innervisions, Perlon and Macro labels. The album includes the underground anthems "Sleepy Hollow" and "Lunatic Fringe" – both voted top 10 tracks of the year in the polls of Groove, Resident Advisor and De:Bug mags, seriously crossing boundaries with heavy DJ support all accross the board from Richie Hawtin to Carl Craig to Laurent Garnier to Gilles Peterson.

   In November of 1998, the trio of Carla Kihlstedt (violin), Gino Robair (percussion/piano) & Matthew Sperry (contrabass) recorded a session for Sonarchy Radio in Seattle. Coming up on a decade later, you now have the chance to listen to this incredible session - sounding as if it could have been recorded yesterday or forty years ago, existing on a plane of living music as it does....the musicians shared a great empathy on this date, this is everything you hope for in an improvised musical experience.

Common mistake! It works in AC to right click on gallery image and insert it into a post, but not here. On AN you have to scroll down the gallery page to find the "direct link" field which can be copied and pasted into the Insert image HTML tag.

Linking to something elsewhere on the web you just get the remote link and insert image, just like on AC without the fancy popup helper app....

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
Quote
Some may recognize Xanadu from Orson Welles' Citizen Kane  as the name of the immense estate that Charles Foster Kane built for his second wife Susan Alexander (who came to regard it as nothing more than a fortress of solitude from which she had to escape). Needless to say, we at textura were captivated by the poem when we first read it all those years ago—so much so that when we decided to establish a textura label we immediately thought of Coleridge's poem and its rich potential as an inspirational midwife for musical work. And so it came to pass that four stylistically-diverse artists—Alexander Turnquist, The Retail Sectors, orchestramaxfieldparrish, and Ryan Francesconi & Lili De La Mora—contributed their abundant artistry to textura's premiere release in the form of unique interpretive responses to the poem.

And so it was. 
Quote
"Most people think of music journalism as merely passing judgement. Canadian print magazine textura, however, has taken a completely different route. Far more interested in providing information than doling out meaningless ratings and focusing on essential lines of artistic development instead of short-lived phenomena, the Ontario-based publication has established itself as a source of inspiration for anyone with an inclination for sound art and experimental electronica

..this album is absent of any pop hooks, notable structure, or any beats to hold on to. ...“le vestibule-vestibule transitoire” is only two songs in 52 minutes, long ambient soundscapes...drone, ambient, avant-garde, experimental and space-rock music.

Common mistake! It works in AC to right click on gallery image and insert it into a post, but not here. On AN you have to scroll down the gallery page to find the "direct link" field which can be copied and pasted into the Insert image HTML tag.

Linking to something elsewhere on the web you just get the remote link and insert image, just like on AC without the fancy popup helper app....

Quick update, I just updated the gallery software and you can just copy and paste the field called 'BBC embed code' and it'll show your gallery image.

“We have landed in a musical world as diverse as the red planet itself. A syn/thesis of musical ideas & ideals presented in an almost U-topia-n way filtered thru strings & reeds, all the while being quietly supported by a backbone of stalwart percussion. Quiet fire. Harmonious disorder.

Quote
The tracks are named after various surfaces of the planet Mars and the players are pretty much trying to make an analogy between the planet's variety of landscapes and the variety of the album's music. It's lovely that the strings and the reeds are pushed up front, because it's a combo that's heard increasingly rarely in jazz (I guess that's why they go as far as talking about this as classical music at certain points). There are lots of harmonics in here, so this is third stream, fourth stream, fifth stream and beyond.

There are creepy microslides and various nifty points of subtlety when you just don't know where the music is supposed to go. They call it a nebula of sound, hah, but, please, forget about these things - these associations are loose and trying to visualize Mars while listening to this will only detract from it. It has nothing to do with "space music".

Improvisation and composition pro-create. Besides that, Mars is on the good side of "reserved", with some of the classiest (literally and figuratively) violin you'll hear in this approach.

Sounds...manipulated and reprocessed, then in some instances mangled and synthesized. Do Robots dream of Electric Sheep in Technicolor? Blue Tone?

Quote
Robert Van Heumen - who normally utilizes a laptop provided with LiSa and SuperCollider software (live sampling and real-time audio synthesis respectively) - concocted a string of soundscapes that leave no room for optimism, showing the nude crudity of past and present events without hinting for a minute to concepts like "respite" or "hope"...The title track (a composition reportedly influenced by Albert Camus, Philip K. Dick, Blade Runner and L.E.J. Brouwer) is presented in separate translations: the first and longest is a dynamically hyper-charged exploration of altered sounds deriving from a single source that gets abused, reprocessed and bastardized in every possible manner, the outcome akin to a brain-pulverizing chain of destructive calamities, misshapen ambiguity, extraterrestrial jargons and incisive irritations which leaves us disoriented, unable to accept its hard-to-fathom underlying logic. The "ambient" adaptation, which closes the program, is just slightly better edible yet, at the same time, describable as a quite dissimilar piece where the harsh tonalities of the original are, to some extent, rendered barely visible, even if the music is not the least disconcerting: desolation replacing devastation, the overall gloom lingering on, the impenetrability of the critical significance still a fact.
Amidst the two versions of "Stranger", Van Heumen presents the soundtrack to "No Man's Land", a film inspired by the tragic 1931-1939 era known as Dust Bowl, when American and Canadian prairies were plagued by storms transporting the sand into which wrongly cultivated lands had been reduced, many people's life in tatters as a consequence of the ensuing economic and ecologic damage.

Quote
the second album from this Canadian composer follows his Periphery album. In Between Words is a collection of works that continue Christopher Bissonnette!'s explorations into orchestral and spatial acoustics. Cultivating an increasing interest in field recording and found sounds, Bissonnette has woven spatial ambience into these new compositions, while still concentrating on moments of near empty space between 'instruments'. Inspired by the continuous din, the constant low-level hum of urban background noise, interspersed with all manner of mechanically created sounds, Bissonnette finds in this a nearmelodic soundtrack to his daily life. Using orchestral sound sources as well as recording his own sounds to manipulate and process, Bissonnette has crafted a symphony of six movements, with melodies as ghostly apparitions that fade in and out of view. Recorded as spontaneous mixes, these compositions maintain a sense of organic fluidity while creating passages of escalating tension

Two contemporary artists, each strong and distinct. Skempton’s expansive canons offset Kondo’s continuous hockets. Jo Kondo: “I am interested in words more than in sentences, in sentences more than in paragraphs, in paragraphs more than in a whole page. Thus, it could be said that in music I am more concerned with each sound than with the phrases they create.” Howard Skempton: “The power of music to inspire confidence is more than equalled by its ability to alleviate anxiety. Through music we are no longer manipulated by time… We can stem the tide of time through the practice of repetition; or through silence, the last refuge of the fastidious.”

A single 34-minute improvisation with harp, soprano sax, viola, cello, and electronics, none of these instruments being used conventionally or producing instantaly-recorgnizable sounds. Restrained improv, where it is played and left unplayed are equally important, where sounds rarely clash, without actually falling down to complacency. Esthetical rapture. François Couture (Monsieur Délire)
Quote
This quintet was captured on tape at 2008 at Lisbon's "Música Portuguesa Hoje" festival. The instrumentation comprises harp, soprano sax, viola, cello and electronics, the character of the performance definitely oriented towards "disquietingly acoustic" regions, all sounds tactfully positioned in barely ruptured reticence.

It's similar to Peterson/Perlman

Claude Bolling was quite a prolific recording artist. (He currently has 129 CDs alone listed on Amazon.) This album was the first of many classical/jazz crossover albums he released over the last 35 years. I have quite a few of them, most of which are LPs purchased back when they were originally put out, which is probably one of the things that attracted be to the Perlman/Peterson disc in the first place.

 If you are so inclined this particular album was also released by CBS as part of their Half Speed Mastered series.

The following is an excerpt from Bolling's Amazon bio:

When the cheery opening bars of "Baroque and Blue" began emanating from radios and stereo phonographs throughout the U.S. in 1975, both Bolling and flutist Jean-Pierre Rampal quickly became household names among listeners who enjoyed both jazz and European chamber music as some of the melodies seemed to reflect the sunny influence of Jacques Ibert. The mingling of these currents worked nicely on the album Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio, and the record sold well, not least for its clever cover illustration depicting an anthropomorphized piano and a substantially upsized flute relaxing together in a hotel bed. The fact that the flute was blowing smoke rings gave the entire picture a humorously post-coital twist.

Bolling returned to the jazz/classical format many times, teaming up with a series of star soloists including guitarist Alexander Lagoya, violinist Pinchas Zukerman, trumpeter Maurice Andre, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, flautist Elana Duran. and pianists Emanuel Ax and Jean-Bernard Pommier. Bolling's two-piano inventions were composed in sonata form, and a "Suite for Piano and Chamber Orchestra" also emerged from his fertile imagination. In later years Bolling collaborated with jazz violinist Stéphane Grappelli and vocalist Guy Marchand, hosted numerous tributes to Duke Ellington and led a successful big band. His perseverance and longevity were rewarded with renewed interest in his many accomplishments, including of course Les Parisiennes, whose complete works were reissued shortly after the turn of the millennium in several eye-catching retrospective collections. ~ arwulf arwulf, All Music Guide

Tony Allen, former drummer and musical director for Afrobeat groundbreaker Fela Kuti, and Doctor L, renowned French producer, released Black Voices in 1999. While riding the big tour bus in support of that record, Allen and L jammed extensively, the Doctor programming his iBook and Allen percussing on whatever came to hand. They liked what they were hearing, and a few additions from other musicians later, a new album was ready: the half-disingenuously self-titled Psyco on da Bus. The resulting soundscape is quite a seductive place to spend some time: instruments unfamiliar to Western ears played with total authority, half-formed but seductive melodies and mantralike vocals, all driven by some of the most sinewy, deliberate, forceful bass you'll ever hear. With this bass beating you silly, the extra items in the kit, like the flute and oud dueting on "Many Questions" or the plucked grand piano on the first track of the "Time to Take a Rest Suite," etch themselves all the more sharply into your consciousness.

Jerry Johansson works in his very own tradition, in where ancient Indian traditions of the classical raga music assimilates together with the Swedish heritage of folk music; but also incorporates the knowledge and understanding of contemporary classical music. Musical textures extends, re-shapes and changes places; in Jerry Johansson..s exquisite ways of thinking and blending our ancient musical heritage from both East and West, a totally new and unique music emerges. A music in where traces remembrances from then and now, Scandinavia and Asia assimilates together to a totally natural music that is all Jerry Johansson..s.

Voices On the Dark Side - Dark Side of the Moon A Cappella

Great sound and just an out and out fun album to listen to. IMO a must have for DSOTM fans

www.darksidevoices.com

From the Vocamotion Web site:

"Dark Side of the Moon A Cappella" is an all-vocal version of Pink Floyd's magnum opus "Dark Side of the Moon." No instruments were used in the recording of this unique version of the album. Eight singers and one "vocal percussionist" (similar to a beatboxer) recreate the original work in its entirety.

The album was recorded in High Definition, without breaks between the tracks (as in the original), and is as close to the original in timing as possible, thus preserving its "Wizard of Oz Compatibility." Produced and mixed by the renowned a cappella Producer, Freddie Feldman, this recording breaks new ground in both the worlds of a cappella and rock.

I found this at my local library. AJ is the son of the late pop icon Jim Croce. Interestingly, rather than sounding anything like his father, the music on this album sounds more like 1980s vintage John Lennon (the Double Fantasy era). Not bad, but not a top of the pile show stopper either. What the heck, I only paid 50 cents for it.

This debut album by the European Windsleepers ensemble delivers jolts of excitement within a rich, abstract tapestry of sound that's sculpted in large measure by Christine Clement's atmospheric contralto. Her voice, by turns piercing and pastoral, often is indistinguishable from the reeds as it weaves in and around Roby Glod's alto and soprano saxes, as on "Dance on a Cloud" (at twelve minutes, the longest piece on the album), and "Isetta Go," a grand march with waltz-time phrases.

I just heard a track from this album on the radio. Absolutely dynamite! All male, Grammy winning choral group called Chanticleer (http://www.chanticleer.org/sing/).  This is their Christmas album. Highly recommended if you like renaissance choral music. Crank it up!

Moanin'
Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers

Great album to get started in hard bop, probably the biggest selling bop album of all time. Launched Lee Morgans career with stunning solos on Moanin and Are You Real. This record made Blakey from a great drummer and sideman into sitting at the head table of top ten greatest jazz bandleaders.

Very highly recommended for the jazz newbie and old boppers alike. This is one you listen to 1000s of times and it never stops giving. The Sgt peppers of small band modern jazz.

I'm listening to Pandora right now, at work. For those of you who don't know, you can actually make your own set of web radio stations. As many as you want and in any genre. Just specify a group of artists you like and give it a name. Pandora will shuffle songs by those artists and by other artists of the same ilk.

A really nice way to hear some other artists like the ones you enjoy.

Grover Washington Then & Now.  Fabulous take on traditional jazz/hard bop.  Unique album in that it reflects what I believe was Grover's actual taste in music.  He was an amazingly talented saxophonist who unfortunately tended to record "soft jazz" as it was an easier sell and had a wider audience appeal.  His albums lean towards "schmaltz," but this one has no fat at all.  One of my all time faves.

This is a less heard album from Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. I have never heard a track from this album played on the radio. But it is my favorite Blakey album. Morgan, Shorter, Timmons, Merritt, Blakey, probably the most innovative and serious Messenger band ever, playing at their peak. It features the best solos of Shorter and Morgan during their Blakey chapters, upbeat and provocative original compositions by band members, as well as the often elusive total surrender power soloing from Blakey that he hints about, but rarely unleashes.  A lot of Morgan and Shorter originals. The emphasis here is on exploring the whole tone scale, or dominant sharp 11 scale, as Miles was doing with his moody dorian scales on Kind of Blue at the same time. This is harmonically sharper, angrier, intense, the tension is thick, then releases each chorus into a bluesy bridge or traditional bebop 2-5-1 sequence. Many of the tunes are built like that, so the album has a distinct vibe. The intensity is extreme, the musicians are clearly riding a spiritual vibe rarely heard on recorded bop, and similar to the vibration captured on other great blakey records like Moanin, Free for All, Birdland.

I was listening to this record a lot when Wynton joined Blakey. Blakey introduced me to Marsalis in 83 at a club gig in MA.  I thought all Messenger trumpeters should be at least as good as their predecessors, which made the job rather tough, but I wanted it, so I set high standards for myself, and practiced hard. I was woefully disappointed when Wynton would stop and buzz his lips looking at Blakey like he didn't know what to do while Blakey set up an atomic blast that Morgan, Brown or Hubbard would have surfed the shock wave in flaming glory. This is Blakey power at its peak, the young lions have no clue.

Hey Bob! My radio station WCPE is 100kW with high quality compression and processing. They play only CDs, no mp3s. They play a lot of recorded classical concerts from around the country. I have a modded Sansui T717 with a dipole antenna up on the roof and Belden quad shield antenna wire. It sounds very, very nice. But when Mozart is in bloom I am on Pandora Bebop Station.  :thumb:

Red Garland was Miles Davis' pianist in his first important band, with Coltrane, before Cannon.  He was a prize fighter and got Miles involved in boxing. This album is very laid back and sweet. Chambers bass solos are recorded excellently.  You will find your toes tapping to this one.

Nobody can play jazz blues slower or more soulfully than Phineas Newborn Jr.  He was from Memphis TN, and was the mentor of my mentor James Williams.  I never saw him in person, but James gushed about Phineas. Think of a ultra-sophisticated Bobby Timmons.

This trio record has nice clean sound, airy soundstage, great bass and drums recording, piano sound is a little compressed, but good enough, and always Haynes' fiery accompaniment simmering, even on the ballads and slow blues.

Nice groovy hip side from the trumpeter who replaced Miles Davis in Charlie Parker's band. "KD" Kenny Dorham was also the first trumpeter in the Jazz Messengers. He is a real trumpeters' trumpeter. The richest harmonies of any trumpet bopper, and some of the most intricate lines. With Joe Henderson.

Pink Floyd - The Alternate Side of the Moon

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31IkDQLXm%2BL._SL500_AA240_.jpg)


A collection of work in progress mixes, out takes and acoustic demos from the original Dark Side of the Moon sessions, Supposedly from the original session tapes. Includes solos and sound effects that were pulled from the final mix and longer versions of some songs that were trimmed for the final release. Since these were in progress work mixes the sound is not as good as the finished versions, but they provide interesting historical insight into the creative process that produced this watershed rock album. For only $11 this is a must have for any DSOTM aficionado. It looks like some kind of bootleg CD and the only place I have ever seen it was at Mr. Cheapo's in Mineola, NY. Listed below is the URL for their web site:

One of the best sounding copies of this album that I have ever heard (including several "audiophile" reissues.)
Sorry guys, Half of this post got lost somewhere along the line. I have gotten a number of questions about which pressing this was, so here is the info that I somehow chopped off the end.

I picked up this copy at a local thrift shop for 50 cents, (that's half a dollar, not the rap artist) with full intentions of giving it to my son, who only has a CD copy of this album. Cleaned it on the VPI 16.5 and dropped it onto the TT to test it before I gave it away. Wow this one is a keeper (Sorry Bob - RHIP.) It is and American pressing on Decca records [Matrix  - W2X]. When I compared it to a recent 180g pressing I found that the 180 bested it in many categories when each one was listened to in a vacuum (Better bass, better high end, more detail etc.) Yet for some reason, the old Decca pressing just had a more natural relaxed sound when listened to as a whole. The 180g pressing while better at individual things just sounded more "forced" when you put it all together. Sometimes the sum of all the parts comes up to be less than the whole....

I liked both of the Benson albums, but hen I have been a Benson fan from way back and have seen him live several times as well (dating back to the Weekend in LA Tour in '78).  Both albums have the typical Creed Taylor clean sound, although the Benson and Farrell album does have a very "studio" sound to it. These albums represent a musical transition period for Benson when his music was moving form the pure jazz of his earlier career to the more "commercial" highly produced and arranged pop-jazz we saw starting with the Breezin album. (While many jazz aficionados considered Breezin a sell out of the art, it introduced Benson to a much wider audience and earned him the rock star type money & fame that few jazz artists ever attain.) These two albums actually sandwiched the release of Breezin and you can heard the pop influence creeping into his music, although with much smaller groups and simpler arrangements. (In the mid 70s Benson was recording for Warner Bros & CTI at the same time - I'm not sure how that worked contract wise.) Later in the decade Benson's music would push more and more towards pop instrumentals, with some sounding more like Disco than jazz, but these two albums remain squarely on the jazz side of pop-jazz.
The Stanley Jordan on the other hand is a traditional jazz trio recorded live at a club in Japan. It includes nice jazz interpretations of Stairway to Heaven and Over the Rainbow. Good music, good sound.
All three albums are recommended.  :thumb:

I made a big score on the garage sale front this week (28 mostly mint LPs and 16 CDs for $25  :drool: ), So watch for more posts as I sort through and listen to them.

This is the kind of discussion I would love to see more of on AN. I know I (and I hope all of you) spend much more time listening to music on my equipment than I do changing it out or working on it. Yet 95% of the discussions on this board relate to hardware and not software. While finding a new digital cable or power cord is great, neither would do us any good at all if we didn’t have some good music to play over them. And on a personal note I cannot afford to buy a new piece of hardware once a week, (or even once a month  :roll: ), but I can always find a way to scrape up a few sheckles to purchase a recommended album on Amazon or the like (or even better find it at one of the local libraries and borrow it.  8) ) I know I can say without reservation that I have made more actual purchases based on recommendations from this thread than all of the other AN threads combined. I also uncovered a number of gems that I already owned that I never realized were as good as they were because I bought them when I owned much lesser quality equipment and never heard them play to their full potential.  #-o

What do you say we all try to kick start this tread and share some more info on what’s hot and what’s not in the world of software (both new and vintage.)  [-o<  Even if you have nothing in particular to say about a selection that you are listening to just post up the Artist and title of the album (pictures are always nice.) It might spark a thought in somebody’s mind about having heard that album or something similar in the past and lead them to an enjoyable listening session.  :thumb:

 If we all do this, I guarantee that you will come away with more than you contribute.

Generic Gordon Lightfoot, but contains nothing particularly noteworthy. If you are a big Lightfoot fan, by all means, check it out. Otherwise you can pass on this one.

While looking on Amazon for the jpg I noticed that this album is being re-released on CD on June 8th. If anyone is interested pre-orders are being taken now.

Tchaikovsky: Pathetique Symphony - Fritz Reiner/Chicago Symphony Orchestra (Vinyl)
RCA Living Stereo LSC-2216

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51%2Bx3PioxwL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

This one kind of disappointed me. The performance was OK, but never really grabbed me emotionally. And the sound had more of a back of the hall or balcony perspective that an 5th row orchestra perspective.

Had this not been an original Shaded Dog pressing I might not be so hard on it. It's not that horrible in and of itself, It's just not up to the standards that I have come to expect from the Reiner Living Stereo series, musically or sonically.

Miles Davis: Sketches of Spain

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41W32S8BKXL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

The third and final of the great Miles Davis-Gil Evans collaborations of 1957-59 was also their most ambitious. This set finds Davis in the forefront improvising on two numbers associated with Spanish music and three Evans compositions in that idiom. Much of the music is quite dramatic and emotional (notably Saeta) and plays at his best throughout, really stretching the boundaries of jazz.

The LP I picked up was an orginal Columbia "six eye" pressing off of the 1S stamper. Not only incredible music, but stunning sonics at well.  :drool:

Sketches...

What is there to say? Critiquing it is akin to reviewing Michelangelo's Pieta. 

What is  a 'Columbia "six eye" pressing off of the 1S stamper?"  Clearly it sounds good, but what is it? How do you recognize it? Why is it better?

Meat...

Well?  Whatcha think? 

I'm afraid Meatloaf is caught in a conundrum.  If he makes another record that sounds like "Bat...," he's locked into his past glories.  If it sounds different, people won't like it.  Meat is no Miles, who could change styles and approaches like a chameleon...and was a genius.  Miles, however, never made anyone laugh or cry on screen.

What is  a 'Columbia "six eye" pressing off of the 1S stamper?"  Clearly it sounds good, but what is it? How do you recognize it? Why is it better?

In 1955, Columbia introduced the "6 eye" label. There are six camera/eye logos on the label, and the "Lp" logo is at the bottom. This label continued on all (mono) pressings until 1962. Masterworks albums (ML series), including soundtrack albums (OL and KOL series), were placed onto a gray and black "6 eye" label. Mono mainstream numbers from about CL 600 through about CL 1800 were pressed on this label style originally.

(http://heroinc.0catch.com/columbia/col-2mono.jpg)

In 1958, stereo was introduced, and so a stereo version of the "6 eye" label was created. The prefix for standard stereo LP's was CS. A black and gray version was created for Masterworks and soundtrack albums (MS, KS, OS, and KOS series). Stereo mainstream numbers from CS 8000 to about CS 8579 were pressed on this label style originally.

(http://heroinc.0catch.com/columbia/col-2stereo.jpg)

The significance of the Six-eye version is two fold. First off if an album was originally made in the late 50s -early 60s era the six-eye pressing would represent to earliest pressing of the album, which in theory would be the best quality because all of the tapes would be in the best condition with the least amount of wear on them. In the case of the six-eye pressing I think more important is the fact that if the album was pressed prior to 1962 there is a good chance that it was processed entirely using all vacuum tube equipment. IMO this is much more significant than any wear that may have happened on the mater tapes.

As for the 1S pressing, if you look on the inner grooves of an LP you will usually find a code etched in there. The first part of the code is usually either the LP number of something that is derived from that number. At the end of the number is usually some kind of suffix that identifies the stamper that was used to press that exact LP.n Lower numbers indicate an earlier stamper which again, in theory, might produce better sound because it came earlier in the production run. (However I have often wondered of something pressed at the very end of the usable life of stamper X would sound worse that something pressed from the very beginning of the production run from stamper (x+1). That is why I said "in theory"). However, to die hard collectors LPs from the first stamper are more valuable than LPs from later pressing, not because thy sound better, but because they are considered art of the "first edition"  (Not unlike collectors look to the initial printing of a book.)

The Meatloaf CD is OK, but nothing great. Kind of the story of his career. If it wasn't for Bat Out of Hell and Rocky Horror, people would be saying "Meat who?" I saw the disc in the new releases section of the library and gave it a try. It's not bad, but just not the kind of CD I can see myself playing over and over again.

Wow, Mazz.  I've been collecting records my whole life and somehow managed to previously miss all of that information. 

I forgive myself for not knowing the "6 Eye" thing.  It wasn't until later, after I was married, that I began to really understand and appreciate hard bop, so I never really collected records from its seminal period.  Instead, I collected the music.  Of course, I have several different pressings of every Yes and Genesis record released...it makes me feel a little silly, almost.

The mysterious etchings on the inner rings have always been just that, mysterious. I never found anyone that could even begin to explain their significance.  I never even looked at the codes as having any meaning at all to anyone outside the record pressing plant.  No one I knew ever could even begin to explain anything about them. I've always known there were numbers and codes, and occasionally noticed silly things written on the inner grooves, but hadn't given them much thought beyond that.  Even at good record shops, I've never seen a record touted or identified by its markings on the in inner groove.

I have heard this before but never on a good system until today. I was surprised how well it is recorded, one of the best from this post-bop era, despite hard panned instruments. Playing is great, not as indulgent as The Bridge.

Sonny was pretty pissed about the cover, he took some serious ribbing.

Eric Clapton: Backtrackin

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5183DWRZ52L._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

I purchased this album as a 2 CD set in the mid 80s and it has long been one of the better Clapton collection I own both from a musical selection and a sonic basis.

So it was with great anticipation that I picked up this 2 LP British import of the same album. Well this one breaks all the molds. The sound is absolutely wretched. (Of course the LP was "Digitally Mastered for Sound Perfection" back in 1984, so that might explain it.)  #-o

I know a whole lot of people (including my self) who never thought they would heard these words come out of my mouth, but the CD version of this album sounds far better than the equivalent LP.  :shock:

I suggest that all of you run up to the attic and unpack your winter coats, because I think hell just froze over.   :twisted:

New studio album from Jeff Beck. Contains the brilliant guitar work one would expect, but there is something that is sonically just not right. While each of the instruments is well recoded in and of itself, there is no sense that they are playing in the same place. As a matter of fact, there is a disturbing lack of any spacial information at all. You get no impression of where the room boundaries were or even if the musicians were in the same room at the same time. Just left me with a strange feeling.

Record Store Days - Gary Calamar/Phil Gallo

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51oIXvw7fVL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Not an album, but rather a book about the history and social significance of record stores. A good read for anyone who is interested enough to be following this thread.

From Amazon:

In this era of digital downloads, the small, indie record shop might sound like an anachronism. But, in fact, record stores served as community centers, information exchanges, clubs, art galleries, and launching pads for numerous bands and record labels. Record Store Days takes a long, loving look back at the retail refuges that enthralled at least three generations of music lovers, providing a glimpse into the special alchemy that makes a great record store. Written and compiled by two record store veterans, this lively and nostalgic anthology includes photographs and reminiscences from musicians, music industry executives, former record store clerks, and, of course, avid fans.

The Broadbent disc is first class. I didn't realize that he has been around for so long, but is makes sense considering how tight he has the trio playing. Age and experience combine with raw young talent. Makes a nice combination

Mazz, Yes is one of my absolute favorites, although I can't listen to anything they did after 1984 without cringing.  Any of the incarnations: ABWH, Squire and White with the Russian dudes, the eleven member combined effort of "Union" and anything else they've done in the last 25 years (!) has left me completely flat. 

Only Bruford's recent work had done anything for me.  His band Earthworks explores jazz from a prog rock angle, without going through the painful machinations of the "Canterbury Sound" (ie National Health, Hatfield and the North, Gong, Egg, and, later, Brand X) Check out Bruford performing with his eponymous band in this video of "Footloose"  http://www.billbruford.com/Video/footlooseinnyc.wmv (http://www.billbruford.com/Video/footlooseinnyc.wmv)

The Yes Album, Fragile and Close to the Edge are masterpieces that still spin on my table and CD player on a regular basis.

Rick Craig turned me onto this record. It is a large acoustic electric combo, all instrumental, very jazzy, but not really happy straight ahead jam. Sometimes trance-like, always very intelligent. Rich harmonically, but melodically kind of simple. Dynamic, punchy, masculine. Sometimes pretty far out, but never leaving you behind. Smarter than MMW, and MUCH better recorded. Not as showoffy as Bromberg, more experimental, deeper.  Iirc, Rick knows the recordist, it was done in Brooklyn.

Rich-

I'd never heard of Sickafoose and I can't believe I missed him.  He's played with some of my favorites.

The excerpts I listened to from Tiny Resistors (great title) remind me of Pat Metheny's work such as Still Life (Talking) and his later work.  It's melodic, lush and complex but not without reason.  Very nice.  I think that record has moved to the top of my want list.

C.W.McCall: Black Bear Road

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61aHNfJ24yL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Picked up this LP at the thrift shop not because of the music or the sound, but rather because of the history behind it.

C.W. McCall was not a sing but rather a fictional character from a series of TV ads for a Old Home Bread in Nebraska in the early 70s. McCall was a trucker that delivered the bread to stores in the ads. The character became so popular the one of the folks at the ad agency that came up with the campaign got the idea to try and produce an album based on this character. The recording sessions ended up turning out a run away top 40 hit in "Convoy" which sold over 10 million copies. The producer was a fellow by the name of Chip Davis. He took his share of the profits and used it to start his own record company, named American Gramophone. And the rest is audiophile history.

I just heard this track on Pandora  "There is No Greater Love" with a trumpet solo by what sounded like a 1950s Miles Davis. It is a modern recording, so I was curious. Wallace Roney maybe? no, too clean and authentic. Turns out it's this:

My younger son Bobby brought a friend home tonight who was a) an avid Beatles fan and B) had never heard "a really good record player" before.  I quickly put 2 and 2 together and decided it was time to take out the Mobile Fidelity Sgt. Pepper UHQR and give it a whirl.

(http://www.friktech.com/btls/mfsl/uhqr.jpg)

Well we weren't 5 bars into the first song before Bobby was looking at me and mouthing  :wtf:?

He had often heard me talk about lousy summer electricity but this is the first time he had heard the effect for himself. I explained to him that his mother (and everybody else in the neighborhood )  had the air conditioners cranking at full blast and this was the sonic result of all that noise on the lines.  :(

Although his friend was blown away by it, we both know that it could have sounded much better.  :shock:

Bruford's Earthworks -Footloose and Fancy Free

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/415MPTYT9VL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Bill Bruford, the extraordinary drummer late of Yes and King Crimson (please do not hold that against him, you will be doing yourself a disservice), leads his Earthworks band on a live journey through their four studio albums.  The music is jazz; quirky, odd, melodic, dissonant but very much jazz.  Pieces of hard bop, fusion, swing and new age appear and fade away in Earthworks' unusual style, but this music is jazz at its core. 

Bruford, as always, is stunning in his precision and timing; all the while never ever sounding mechanical.  He brings humanity and melody to his rhythms.  The members of Earthworks are all top notch musicians and the recording is crystalline.  Highly recommended.

Good haul from the "Crack House" this week. 15 LPs including 4 RCA Living Stereos and 3 British import pressings from the London FFSS series. These will take me a while to get through, but I'll keep at it. (Looks Like overtime in the mancave this weekend. It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it.  :) )

First up is a vintage rock album called "Tarkio" from that one hit wonder group Brewer and Shipley. )Who could forget their (only) hit single "One Toke Over the Line" ?)  #-o

I met Woody Shaw backstage at a gig he did in Somerville, MA when I was 17yo. It was a great moment. I later saw him a few times at other gigs. Each time was a miracle to this then young trumpeter. He was so gracious and real, while being a vicious and ballsy soloist. He was one of the greatest jazz trumpet soloists ever. Along with Satch, Diz and KD he was also one of the most innovative. He "owned pentatonic harmony," as he put it, and still to this day, no one dares to tread there except a few theory geek players. This is HARD CORE modern bop, boys. As lumpy as jazz gets while still harmonically and rhythmically significant. His untimely and sad death is one of the most tragic in jazz.

The Boston Pops does Leroy Anderson. Not the best sounding of the Living Stereo LPs but a fun collection of music that is kind of what "the Pops" is all about.

An LP old an early (1980) digital recording. This one does not have that "early CD Digititis" and since it's recording predates CDs by several years I would think it was not recoded using the 44.1/16 digital standard. Sounds like it was done at a higher bitrate, but unfortunately other than stating that it is a PCM digital recording there are not technical details anywhere on the cover or in the liner notes. Decent sound (I can't give a definitive evaluation since right now my mancave has been turned into a temporary Boy Scout warehouse, holding all of the troop gear for next weeks trek to summer camp. So much for room acoustics!), but it doesn't sound bad in an early CD kind of way.

Most early digital recordings were less than CD's 16 bit resolution. One of the most popular early formats was Sony PCM-F1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCM_adaptor), which allowed saving the data to a betamax video cassette tape. The early units were 14 bit. Glenn Gould's 1981 Goldberg was recorded on this, in 14 bit audio.  But it actually sounded really good, and the old machines are are still prized and used on classical recordings today. I used F1 on 3 projects that went to vinyl. We used a prototype 16 bit Sony machine recorded to broadcast TV videotape in 1985. They needed the superior TV tape machine to eliminate wasting the last 2 bits on error correction needed with the smaller betamax tapes. Digital storage was not on the horizon. The original betamax tapes don't last though...  :x    So in 1980, your record was probably 14/44.1.  But good vinyl mastering with tubes could fix the digititis if there was any.

Sample rate is much more important than bit depth. 44.1 was the standard for a long time before higher sample rates appeared in the 90s with the DVD standard.

I hope you get your tunes back soon.

Didn't have to leave the desk. Looked up Soundstream on Wikipedia. Their system used a 50k sample/sec bitrate with 16 bit word. Not tremendously higher than 44.1/16, but higher none the less. (My brain hasn't completely changes to porridge.

Nat King Cole: Forever Yours

Got this six LP set at the Crack House for only 52 cents. That's less than 9 cents per record.  :shock:

Amazing price and nice sounding LPs as well.

Also found two other 6 LP sets from Capitol at the same price (18 LPs for less than $2, including sales tax!!!) One by Jackie Gleason caled "The Sound of Romance For Lovers Only" and the third set wasby Guy Lombardo and was entitled "Happy Memories".

The Cole and Gleason LPs ar both marked "Stereo" but the Lombardo set is all marked "Duophonic". Does anyone have any ideas on how Duophinc differed from Stereo?

Although if got them on the cheap (like everything in that store  :thumb:) there are some people that value them because when I looked the albums up on Amazon to try and get a cover picture they were all selling for $20 and up.

I was actually quite pleasantly surprised at just how good all three sets sounded. The music may or may not do anything for you, but the sound is quite credible.

As for the Duophonic thing, I looked it up on Wikipedia and it is nothing more than Capitol's marketing name for fake stereo.

Here is the Wiki write-up:

    * Duophonic is also a term used to refer to a sound process by which a monaural recording is turned into a kind of "fake stereo" by splitting the signal into two channels, delaying the left and the right channels by means of delay lines  and other circuits, desynchronizing the two channels by fractions of a second, and cutting the bass frequencies in one channel with a high-pass filter, then cutting the treble frequencies in the other channel with a low-pass filter. The end result was a synthesized stereo effect, without giving the listener the true directional sound characteristics of real stereo. In some cases, the effect was enhanced with reverb and other technical tricks, sometimes adding stereo echo to mono tracks in an attempt to fool the listener.

"Duophonic" was used as a trade name for the process by Capitol Records for re-releases of mono recordings from June of 1961 through the 1970s. Capitol employed this technique in order to increase their inventory of stereo LPs, to satisfy retailer demand for more stereo content (and help promote the sale of stereo receivers and turntables). For nearly ten years, Capitol used the banner "DUOPHONIC-For Stereo Phonographs Only" to differentiate their true stereo LPs from the Duophonic LPs.

The process was used for some of their biggest releases, including a variety of albums by The Beach Boys and Frank Sinatra. Over the years however, some Duophonic tapes were confused with true stereo recordings in Capitol Records' vaults, and wound up getting accidentally reissued on CD throughout the 1980s and 1990s. In recent years, Capitol reissued some of The Beatles' Duophonic mixes on The Capitol Albums, Volume 1 and The Capitol Albums, Volume 2, in 2004 and 2006, respectively.

Other record companies used similar processing of monophonic material to create a stereo effect, but referred to the process by other names. For example, Columbia Records used the logo, "Electronically Re-channeled for Stereo" on records issued with their particular process. As with Capitol, Columbia's fake stereo issues included albums by major artists, such as Miles Davis ('Round About Midnight-CL 949 mono, reissued in stereo as PC 8649).

When I was in college I worked in a radio station that feature a big  band show hosted by a fellow named Bob Logan who played with a number of the big bands in the 40s. I also hung out at a local bar that was owned by a guys who spent time traveling with the Glenn Miller band. Spent a lot of hours not only listening to big band music, but also discussing it with folks that actually lived it. Fascinating stories.

One in particular that I loved was about a club in NYC that had two ballrooms but only enough money to play one band . So they miked each musician and fed the signal to a dedicated amp that drove a speaker that was placed on a chair in the other ballroom in the exact same spot that the musician would have been sitting had there been a real band in the room. So each musical instrument was reproduced by its own mic, amp and speaker. How's that for multi-channel audio?

I heard this 100s ,of times on my parent's system as I was growing up and as I was listening to it last night I realized for the first time that Bea Arthur played Yenta in the original cast. Kind of ironic, Maude - Yenta, not too far apart are they?

One of the best Kenny Dorham records. He is in top form musically, and excellent form on the horn. With Hank Jones, Max Roach, Sonny Rollins and Oscar Pettiford. Only a handful have reached the summit of Mount Bop, but here is KD standing proudly on the summit and among the greatest jazz players ever. This is from the mid 50s, after Brownie, so Sonny is at the peak of his powers and discipline. There is a very serious spiritual feel to this session. Recorded May 21, 1957 for Riverside in NYC.  Really nice on vinyl ;)

Bud Powell Trio, Birdland 1956, w/Paul Chambers, Art Taylor. On a rare French vinyl, Musidisc 5167.

He plays "Tea for Two" at about 1000mph, modulating up a half step every 2 bars. Sick! Playing very strong in '56 at age 32. Great side. Mr. PC is much more adventuresome as soloist here than on later recordings with Miles.

My two boys are 16 & 21. Each has their own system with their own turntable (one a Teksonor (an Italian high-end TT) and the other a Thorens) and while both feel very comfortable using their own and love listening to mine, neither of them has even laid a finger on the VPI. I guess the fear the wrath that would reign down on them in the one in a million chance that something happened to my table on their watch.  (http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-evil-grin-smileys-111.gif)  (http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/Free-Mad-Smileys/)  (http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-mad-smileys-171.gif) (http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/Free-Indifferent-Smileys/)  (http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-evil-grin-smileys-111.gif) (http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/Free-Mad-Smileys/)

Four and More

With its sister recording 'My Funny Valentine,' 'Four and More' is the first recording of the "New Quintet" with Herbie, Ron and Tony. George Coleman is soon to be replaced with Wayne Shorter, but plays great on this record, although a bit outclassed, but only compared to later Shorter recordings with Miles which didn't exist yet.

Tony Williams is only 17yo on this recording. Just released from a short stint with Jackie McLean's band, he had only recently moved from Boston where he studied with the great drummer, teacher and my own mentor, Alan Dawson. All the big name bop drummers would come to see him play and dig the new sound of jazz drumming. Other drummers were playing like this too, like Joe Chambers, but Tony was the first to get it on record.

This is the last recording date on which Miles played anything but his own compositions. It is also arguably his finest playing, artistically and technically. Although his earliest west coast bebop trumpet recordings are technically better, this concert has him already established and comfortable being "The Miles Davis."

A reviewer on Amazon says this concert was a fund raising benefit for NAACP, CORE and SNCC months after MLK assassination and was unexpectedly pro bono.

I first heard this at the home of jazz pianist and Jazz Messenger James Williams. He couldn't believe that I had never heard it before and made a tape of it for me. He really dug it and thought miles was the shit. I just thought he was Bird's trumpeter and didn't have much use for him. as a trumpeter I still don't have much use for him, but this record and a couple others that it introduced to me by association opened my eyes to Miles the brand, and Miles the bandleader and music maker. So many younger trumpeters bought into the brand and didn't know the trumpet was BS. Eventually they figured it out, but hard to undo a jazz style once learned. A mixture of Woody Shaw licks with Miles attitude and inflection is the norm for young trumpeters today. They have all spent many many hours listening to this record. To many of them it is the genesis of modern jazz trumpet.

This is the best actual jazz blowing of "The Second Quintet" on record. They are pissed to play for free, they are all new in the band and want to impress Miles, they are recording live for Columbia Records for the 1st time, and they are young and at the peak of their technical power. There is a measure of humility, even in William's playing that adds to the magic. There's really nothing else like it.

Yo-Yo Ma/Bobby McFerrin: Hush

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51LT8jw0fML._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

The idea here was to put two masters together--one classical cellist, one improvisational singer/sound-effects performer--and voilà! instant amazing, unique, hip--and, hopefully, hit--record. The intriguing setup was to see what would happen when each led the other through the unfamiliar territory of his own specialty. The success of this recording lies not so much in the music or even in the overall performances, but in the fascinating and fun opportunity to sit in on the musicians' good-natured, respectful give-and-take, to witness an uncommon form of artistic chemistry that allows each performer to expand his vision and even his technique. On one hand we get Bobby McFerrin's impressionistic, improvisatory jazz/pop; on the other we enjoy Yo-Yo Ma's highly refined, formalized musicianship. Originally planned as a disc for children, Hush goes far beyond its initial premise, with each of the 13 tracks demonstrating these musicians' unique gifts and showing that, whether it's Vivaldi or jazz, it's all music and it's all a lot of fun. --David Vernier

CD pressing of the Crystal Clear Direct to Disc LP (The CD was actually mastered from the original D2D lacquer.) Some of my favorties performances of both pieces. And while the sonics are not quite up to those of the D2D LP version, they are still very credible.

Definitely a keeper.

Can be found on Amazon to as little as 10 cents!

John Williams & the Boston Pops: Unforgettable

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61Kq2%2Bgz%2BVL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Typical of the John Williams/Boston Pops recordings. Nice program, decent sonics, but played in a very mechanical way. Played technically well from a musical perspective, but with no emotion. Sounds like a bunch of session players who were just paid scale to show up, play somehing off a score and go home (can you say movie soundtrack.) The Pops under Fiedler always sounded like they were all having fun and putting there all into each piece. These guys aregood musicians, I just always get the feeling that they are bored.Did anyone else get the same impression of the Pops during the Williams years? (Luckily they started to perk up again under the direction of Keith Lockhart. :D)

Picked this up from a street vendor in NYC a few years back.  It is like a whose who collection from the world of Jazz. If you are into acoustic jazz this one is a must have. Great artists, great performances and getreat music. And it can be had on Amazon for as little as 51 cents on Amazon!

I've seen most people's collections and, frankly, I'm too much of a snob to want them.  All too often, record "collections" are an amassing of of top forty radio classics like Journey, Huey Lewis, Chicago's two-hundred-eighty-seven records, and a variety of other undesirable drek.

Copy dat... :lol:
I have yet to bump into a personal collection I would drool over...sure there are some that contain many desirables, but overall most I have seen made me go...urgh.


Except for Rich's...

Imagine if you had the wherewithal to buy and properly store any and all of the records you ever desired, and had the chops to pick the stuff that would make other collectors jealous.

I had the chance to walk amongst that collection.  The co-owner of the Asbury Park Press, the largest newspaper on the Jersey Shore (which sold for $65 million in '95), had a 25 x 20 room stacked to the ceiling with a meticulously accumulated and maintained collection of LPs.  Nearly all of them were hard bop, although there was music of all types and ilks.  Each record was poly bagged and stored firmly upright.  It was like a museum. 

I was at Mr Lass' home when I worked under the table at a TV repair shop while I was between jobs.  I was in my 20's at the time and dressed like a van driver.  Still, when Mr Lass saw my jaw drop, he led me into the room.  I think he relaxed a bit when I complimented him on the poly bags and organization.  When he realized that I knew about the artists, the labels and the records themselves, he lingered a bit to talk.  He was proud of the collection, as he should have been.  It was spectacular.

Found a few vintage 70s rock albums at the crack house over the last couple of weeks, cleaned 'em on the VPI and put them in the "to listen" pile. I've been doing a lot of work around the house over the past couple of days and they made their way onto the turntable. Well one lead to another and soon I was done with al the new finds and started dipping into the rest of my collection and the next thing you know I was on a 70s streak.  :D

Brilliant live recording of the jazz-funk masters at their peak.  One of the last live recordings before the exodus of trombonist Wayne Henderson and the band's lane change into a pop groove.  Features guest appearances from Max Bennett on bass and Larry Carlton (in fine form) on guitar.

on vinyl...it's been too long.

OK, Thursday night's 70s Rock night has kind of morphed into a 70s Rock weekend. (it's amazing how much you get to listen to when you are working on the house for the whole weekend  8) )

It would be immoral to have a 70s rock weekend and not play the album that remained on the Billboard Charts for almost the entire decade of the 70s (and most of the 80s for that matter.)  :drool:

A gorgeous sounding album. Smart but easy and satisfying music by contemporary Israeli composer Avner Dorman (http://dormanavner.com/). Not often hear mandolin or piccolo get their own concerto. These both are beautiful and played to perfection. Typical Naxos audiophile quality sound.  Very dynamic and propulsive.

Had a real busy day building a wheelchair ramp to get my wife into the house when she gets released form the hospital this week. Given that most of my listening for the day was done outdoors with CDs on a boombox. Not the best of sound, but good music made the workday go faster.  :)

So here is the remainder of the playlist from 70s Rock Weekend

The Alan Parsons Project: Pyramid

Oscar Peterson/Michael Legrand: Trail of Dreams - A Canadian Suite

And which one of them is the Canadian? If you picked Legrand you'd be wrong (He was born just outside of Paris) According to the liner notes from this CD Oscar Peterson was born and raised in Montreal. I never pictured him as a native of the frozen north.

Ya learn something new every day....whether you like it or not!

BTW - real nice music. I can't really vouch for the sound quality since I am listening on my computer, but its a TELARC release, how bad could it be?

Oscar is a very well known Canadian.....in Canada. You could ask almost any Canadian over the age of 30 and most would know it. You are right however in that not many outside of Canada seem to know it. Never understood why? Maybe it's a generation thing? Most seem to know that Rush, Nickelback, The Tragically Hip and so on are Canadian but some of the older guys not so much.

George Benson: Songs & Stories

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Ya036Dt4L._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

This should be a how to manual for all aging rockers. When I first put this CD on, the vocals sounded like Benson from a style point of view but the voice was different. As I listened a bit more I realized what was going on.AS he has gotten older Benson has lost some of the range in his voice from both and amplitude and a frequency perspective. So rather than try to fight mother nature he has modified his vocals by singing in a slightly lower key and limiting the dynamic range that he uses. While this sounds different than the Benson we heard in the 1970s recordings, it still sounds good, and retains his distinctive style. (I was playing it in the car when i pick up my son last night and he immediately commented "Who is this, I want to say its Gorge Benson, but the voice sounds different." Unlike some of the aging rockers we saw on tour this summer (like Ian Anderson and Meatloaf) who tried to sing off the same charts in their 60s that they used in there 20s and just sounded horrible, Benson has reworded his style and arrangements so as to make the most of the vocal abilities he has left. This a) prevents any further damage to his voice from stretching it to a place that it just does not want to go and b)allows him to continue providing his fans with a quality musical product. Way to go George!  :thumb:

Oh, BTW, the album itself was very enjoyable as well. It is a Concord Records release and enjoys the typical Concord high quality jazz sound and from a musical perspective it is pure Benson. A keeper in my book.

Neil Diamond: Hot August Night/NYC

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51sfYSdO8aL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

In spite of the rave reviews on Amazon, I thought this album was a horror show. Diamonds voice is not what it once was and unlike what I talked about in my Recent George Benson post Diamond does nothing to change his style. The most he as done was to liberally use background singers to try and cover up the parts that he is no longer able to do. It works marginally well, at best. Additionally the sound quality is rather on the poor side. the treble area is way over EQed making everything sound very strident and shrieky. It might sound OK on an ipod with $6 ear buds, but through my Thiels it was more like fingernails on a blackboard. If I want to listen to Neil Diamond I'll stick with the original 1973 Hot August Night.

The Brian Setzer Orchestra: Songs From Lonely Avenue

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41r-43m9QtL._SL160_AA160_.jpg)

Normally I enjoy Setzer's modern interpretations of big band swing jazz, but this album is an unfortunate victim of the ipod generation. The CD has about 3db of dynamic range and that goes from louder to super loud. Too bad, because musically it's too bad, but the sound quality does not lend itself to play on a high quality system.   :(

(I'm sure glad I borrowed this one, and the Neil Diamond CD, from the library)

I agree that Vol 2 is the better album, but Vol 1 is no slouch either.

FYI - Most of the cuts from Vol 2 (along with some bonus material) have been reissued by RR under the title "Mike Garson's Jazz Hat". Not surprisingly Jazz Hat has received critical acclaim as well.

Warning!

The music on the new Mike Garson CD on RR (Pied Piper) is a a high Resolution HDCD remastering of the 1985  original analog mater tapes used to make the 45 RPM audiophile LP "Reflections" (RR-18).

So this is a two prong warning. First; if you already have a copy of reflections, be aware that this is the same music, although in a higher quality digital pressing. And secondly, Reflections was a really nice album that has long been out of print, so if you don't own one of the original LP or CD copies, this might be a chance to add this one to your collection.

Thanks for the heads-up. The library showed this in the web based catalog as having already been ordered so I put in a reserve request for it. If it ends up being as good as it sounds in the Amazon description, I'm sure I will end up buying my own copy.

Sting: Symphonicities

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41NHmy2EJsL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Symphonicities; the companion CD to accompany Sting's highly-anticipated world tour, which begans June 2 in Vancouver, featuring the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, conducted by Steven Mercurio (Bocelli, Pavarotti). The new studio album, comprised of Sting's most celebrated songs re-imagined for symphonic arrangement, serves as the ultimate commemoration of the live concert experience. Created exclusively for the tour and correlating album, Sting's greatest hits have been reinterpreted with brand new orchestrations arranged by Jorge Calandrelli, David Hartley, Michel Legrand, Rob Mathes, Vince Mendoza, Steven Mercurio, Bill Ross, Robert Sadin, and Nicola Tescari.

Brahms, Heifetz, Reiner, Chicago, need I say more?  Great music played by great musicians. The sound quality of the recording itself is first rate, but this is a 70s reissue, not an original Shaded Dog. Unfortunately my mancave looks more like a mini-store warehouse than a listening room as it is being used for turnaround space while we continue to make the house more wheelchair friendly for my wife.   :( Given that  most of my LP listening as of late has been from the living room on the first floor (the mancave is in the basement). It sounds great from the other room, but I can't really make a judgement on how this pressing would hold up under better listening conditions.

BTW, if you don't have a copy of that Shelby Lynne album, put it right at the top of your search list. It is top of the pile in all respects. I have heard a number of her other recordings and they are all only fair, but this on is exceptional. The Cd can be had for fairly cheap on Amazon, but the LP is the real bargin. It is a 180g pressing that has a full list price of only $12.98!  :shock:

So I see this CD in the Crack House. A 13 year old kid playing jazz piano. Well, it's on GRP and I have yet to hear them put out a real clunker. And it's only $1.61. . SO I go for it, how bad can it be. Well not bad at all. This kid has some legitimate talent. He was 13 when this CD was made, which would put him in his late 20s now. Has anybody heard anything else that he has put out since then? I checked the library system and the only CD of his that they have is the one that I just bought.  :(

I would like to hear (or at least hear about) some of his later stuff.

I was very happy when Keith Lockhart took over the reigns of the Boston Pops from John Williams. While Williams is very talented as a film composer I always felt the performances he led were a bit to much on the mechanical side. Well done technically, but lacking in emotion (kind of like a movie soundtrack?   #-o)

Since coming to Boston Keith has, IMO,  put the sense of fun back into the Pops.

Elton John's Greatest Hits

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/410RVTQV9EL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Elton's music is what it is, but the sound quality on this LP is fair at best. "Greatest Hits" albums are notorious for having sub-par sound because of the use of multiple generation tape (most greatest hits albums are at least second generation as the songs from the various albums are copied onto a single reel of tape for mastering purposes, and that assumes that they are starting with the original master tapes from the albums in the first place, many time they start with sub-masters. And given how popular this album was who knows how far down the stamper food chain this particular LP was.

That said I thought the sound quality of "Rocket Man" was much better on the CD layer of "Honky Chateau" SACD Hybrid.

OMG!   :shock: That is the second time this summer that I made a statement about liking a CD pressing over a vinyl copy.  :wtf:

Sometimes I scare myself.  :roll:

When I was a kid thinking about being a musician, I wanted to join Kenton's band as soloist like then soloist Tim Hagans. (http://timhagans.com/) A few years later after Kenton died, Hagans came to one of my gigs in Boston, said he enjoyed the show. That was a nice feeling. I Love Kenton!!

Beethoven String Quartet No. 12, Opus 127

This one's on my heavy rotation this week. The Adagio is awesome. It is like a durge that moves but goes nowhere. It is a subtle blob of sound swirling aimlessly, seemingly lost, but occasionally a familiar landmark restores hope of finding the way. This LaSalle Quartet version isn't that great.  Mechanical, contrived, played soft and weak like like Haydn or Mozart, as if a very good college band. The Prazak Quartet's version is what I listen to in the car, edgier but full of sarcasm and humor like the real Beethoven, more flowing and alive. But it's not ripped to the NAS yet.

Jimmy Buffett: Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41BQSVBJW9L._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Just picked up this CD on ebay. It is from the MCA Ultimate MasterDisc series. The CD case says it is a 24K Gold CD, the Disc itself has the Ultimate MasterDisc logo silk-screened on it, but the CD itself looks like an aluminum pressing.

Does anybody out there know if :
A) The Masterdisc series was produced in both Gold and Aluminum versions?

or

B) If MCA ever pressed any of these discs using white gold and it just looks like aluminum.

I have several other discs in this series and they all had a distinct (yellow) gold tone look to them.

Just wondering if anybody out there has any ideas about this before I send off a nastygram to the seller.

Hi Tom,
White gold just means less gold in the alloy (usually nickel.) Gold CDs are always yellow.

It was probably re-shrinkwrapped with an aluminum disk instead of the gold.  When marketplace sellers of desirable vintage CDs say factory sealed it is rarely true. They reshrink them, or they buy them that way from another seller thinking they are new. It may not be your seller's fault, he could have been duped too. It has happened to me. If it was expensive due to being gold version and there are alum versions selling for much less then maybe he'll split the difference with you.

That was silly of me. The label says "24K Gold CD" which would have to be "yellow" gold by definition.

It was not sold as new, and was not shrink wrapped when I got it. it is definitely a stamped manufactured CD. But here's the thing, the stock number on the case (MCD 10951) matches the number that is both printed on the disc and laser etched into the inner groove. And the case says "All Ultimate MasterDisc MCA Records 24kGold Discs are remastered from original sources by Glenn Meadows, Masterfonics, Nashville, Tennessee, using today's cutting edge technology."

I'm just wondering if MCA issued an aluminum pressing of this remastering and that is what I got.

Tried to upload a photo showing the Buffet CD that was shipped to me next to the gold "Who's Next" CD from the same series, but I keep getting an error message. Suffice it to say that difference is obvious.

I sent an e-mailto the seller describing the problem. We'll see what he has to say.

Hmmmm...  that's strange. I wonder if it's just a snafu in the plant.

The standard aluminum disc is MCAD-31070 so if the disk is engraved 10951, then it looks like a solid gold fuck up to me.

Thanks for the link. I posted a question and maybe someone from over there might know id MCA ever issued official aluminum releases of this series. So far no responses, but I'll let you know if I discover anything.

On the ebay from I sent a note to the seller and he got back to me within a couple of hours saying that he had already issued be a full refund (including shipping) and I should keep the disc for free. He was very apologetic about the mix-up and seemed genuinely concerned that I did not think he tried to fool anyone on purpose. He really did the right thing about the problem (I did not even mention any proposed resolution in my note and he just issued the refund before he even got back to me.  :thumb:  )

I feel a guy this honest deserves a plug. His ebay user name is per.korte (with the period in between the 2 names) and all he seems to sell is high end audiophile CDs. He is located in Denmark so his shipping rates are a little higher than most (although $9 for a CD is not that outrageous) but his prices are reasonable so on a total cash basis it is not that bad. You guys might want to check him out and see if he is selling anything that you might have been looking for.

Glenn Miller Station on Pandora.

This music is timeless!!  Julie's father is from this vintage, a WW2 soldier, he loved jazz all of his life, but not modern jazz, the "real stuff," as he called it. Listening to it reminds us of him.

But the music is just so great, Fletcher Henderson, Ella, Benny, Dorsey all the hits one after another. Nothing swings like the original popular radio swing, those boys were swinging for profit, and they perfected it.

When I was in college I worked as an engineer at a local commercial radio station. One of our on-air personalities was a fellow by the name of Bob Logan, who played with the big bands back in the 40s. In addition to teaching me to love the music he also told some of the greatest first person stories of what went on with the bands back then. One of them involved a dance club in times square that had two dance floors split across two floors but could only afford to pay one band. what the ended up doing was putting the live band on the first floor and  setting up a mic in front of every one of the musicians. In the second floor dance hall chairs were set up on the stage in the exact position that they would be if the band was going to play there. On top of each chair the place a speaker which was driven by an amp connected to the mic in front of the musician in the corresponding chair on the first floor. This way the band could play to both rooms at once. Talk about multichannel stereo!!!! (maybe this should be a Strange.... but true thread)

But I have to agree with Rich, nothing swings like the original big bands. While there are some very talented musicians playing swing today, there is just some kind of magic in those original performances that I have yet to see duplicated in a modern recording. It is just a shame that some of the recording techniques that brought us some of the classical gems of the mid to late 50s (like the Living Stereo and Living Presence recordings) weren't available a dozen or so years earlier to capture these great bands at their peak.

Masao Onitsuka with Paul Pieper: Duo in D.C.

I heard his guy playing at Penn Station in NYC on my way to work this morning & picked up this seld issued CD-R of some of his work with Paul Pieper.

The following quote from allaboutjazz.com describes him and the music pretty well:

The guitarist, Masao Onitsuka is a veteran who is a well-rounded and experienced performer for 30 years. He has been teaching himself jazz guitar by ear through listening to records since early 1970s. His guitar performance is strictly focusing melodies which comes up from his mind as his voice, and the obstinate and straight guitar style attracts many demanding jazz fans.

Here is a perfect example. It is a Keith Johnson Reference Recordings release so you know the sonics are top shelf, the music is played very well, but it just doesn't have that "magic" they was in the original 40s big band recordings. Don't get me wrong, it's a good album and I enjoy listening to it, but it's just not the same.

Some good hard edge modern string quartet music. Dissonent, aggressive, moody. Sharp clear strings whining and screeching. Still on the plantation though, with real harmony, tempo, and playing together as a group... iow, real music.

Ladies and Gentlemen.... The Grateful Dead - Filmore East New York City, April 1971

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/615AVPM8CDL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

I am reading a book called "You Can't Always Get What You Want" by Sam Cutler who was the tour manager for the Rolling Stones and the Grateful Dead in the early 70s, so I thought I would have to listen to one of the shows that they did during the timeframe that the book is discussing.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51a%2BO2uvhCL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

One of the interesting thing that came out of the book is that the Dead did not take to the road because they loved to tour so much but rather because they were almost bankrupt and need to play that many concerts to get out of their financial hole.

Get Closer is the first pop album Ronstadt made after doing Pirates of Penzance--and it shows in her voice, full of more muscle and control than ever before. Runs the gamut of musical styles from ballads (The Moon's a Harsh Mistress) to flat out rockin' (Get Closer). Also contains a well done duet with James Taylor on the old Ike and Tina Turner hit "Think Its Gonna Work Out Fine".

Your Love Over Gold post got me poking through my music library.  Hadn't played this for a while.

CGT is a very interesting group.  They do some really nice stuff.  The one I posted is pretty hard to find.

Bryan,

I lucked out on this one. My local library has a copy of the Kill to Get Crimson CD. I put in an online hold for it and hopefully will be able to get over there tomorrow to pick it up.  :D

Your last post got me to poking around by Knopfler discs and I can across this one-

Mark Knopfler and Chet Atkins: Neck and Neck

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41A69Y63TTL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Nice sounding British vinyl.

Tag, you're it! ;)


Got that one too.  Gotta be in the right mood but good stuff.  Chet is a legend but Mark just blows him away playing.

Bryan

David Benoit: Heroes

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51OfQC6L6wL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

David Benoit pays homage to some of his favourite recording artists that have had a distinct influence on his creativity throughout the years. The music of Dave Grusin, Elton John, The Doors, Horace Silver, Miles Davis, The Beatles and Dave Brubeck are very diverse in style, but, similar in terms of impact on the legendary contemporary jazz pianist's career.

Frank Sinatra: Live at the Meadowlands

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/417R9Ap-wyL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Here is just another example of an album that was released long after a performer's death in an effort to cash in on his reputation. This is a recently released recording of a 1986 show that Sinatra did at the Brendam Byrne arena in NJ. Now one would ask, if this recording was so good, why did they wait 23 years to put it out. You don't have to listen to it for too long to unravel that mystery. AS much as I enjoy listening to Sinatra, I have to say that Frank simply did not bring his "A-Game" to NJ that night. The  SQ is not bad, but the performance is just not up to the standards of technical excellence and showmanship that we are used to from Sinatra. He made many excellent records. Unfortunately this is not one of them.

I'm sure glad I previewed the library's copy before a laid down any cash on the counter for this one.

Frank Sinatra, Jr. sang on stage in some new "lawyers in vegas" TV series a couple nights ago. He was not his father, but he sounded damn good. Sings in tune and in time, with style and sincerity, all the important things. I just googled him and listened to a track from his 2008 recording That Face, it's good but not great.  The TV appearance was spot on. Maybe the TV producer is better music maker than the record producer.

Big weekend on the software front. Picked up 20 LPs and about 1/2 dozens CDs at the Crack house. I also ended up having to drive my son to several "Social" functions and while I was out took the opportunity to visit some town libraries that I hadn't been in for quite some time and checked out about a dozen CDs from them as well. These are going to take a while to go through .  :D I'm going to start with the Library CDs, for two reasons, first, they have to go back and second I can take them to work and listen to them there. (Yes I know it's shocking, but I do not that a turntable in my cubicle.   :( )

Rich, this disc is everything you said about it and then some. A sinice tour de force. Library or no Library, I am definitely going to have to pick up and original copy of this for myself.

Has anybody seen and/or heard this on vinyl?

Also any feed back on the follow-up album Wood II?

Not heard it on vinyl but love it none the less from CD.  Wood II is also an excellent choice.  I don't think I have anything from BB that I don't like and doesn't get played in a reasonable rotation.

David Beniot: Shadows

(http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/b7/6b/fcd2124128a0fbcb2ccb6010.L.jpg)

OK, while the first two out of the box were outstanding, this one is not so great. I usually like Benoit's stuff, but in this case the music is kind of "commerical" and sounds a bit forced.  And on the SQ front the soundstage is kind of closed in and lacked that natural sound we have come to expect from GRP.  Not horrible, but just not as good as I anticipated. I guess with as many albums as both Beniot as an artist  and GRPas a label put put out, a less that stelalr effort will slip in everyonce in a while.

This one was just flat out annoying. I don't know if it is some kind of phasing or flanging effect or just plain gain riding, but throughout the  whole CD the master volume keeps going up and down in a slow sinusoidal pattern. Skipped through a number of cuts for about five minute before I couldn't take it anymore and puled this disc from the player.  [-(

Back to the library with this one!

Tchaikovsky: 1812 Overture: Ravel Bolero: Boston Pops Orchestra: Arthur Fiedler

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51UtkMHCcEL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Last week I found a Fielder recording on London Phase 4, this week it is Deutsche Grammophon. Not sure if this is just a German release of one of the RCA recordings or something that the Boston Pops did directly for DG. Either way it still sounds good.

Of intersting note, because this was recorded indoors they did not want to use any kind of cannons, (it was felt that the high SPLs produced by the cannons would overload the recording equipment) so they used shotguns filled with blanks instead.

(http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/36/2f/a605419328a0c47136c4e110.L._AA300_.jpg)

One of the most striking debut albums ever released, this disc instantly established Chapman as a musical force, and with good reason. Immediacy, integrity of purpose, and unqualified artistry are apparent in nearly every song. And while "Fast Cars" remains Chapman's best-known work, "Talkin' Bout a Revolution" is that rarest breed: a song which is both topical and timeless. Any exploration into Chapman's work should begin with this at times stunning effort; it's a disc of remarkable uniformity and clarity that Chapman has yet to improve on. --Wayne Pernu

I picked this up because I like some of Jobim's earlier work with Stan Getz and Frank Sinatra. Wow, this is about as far from Bossa Nova as you can get. It is kind of a mix of Brazilian Jazz with Improvisational New Age. A lot of the reviews on Amazon hail this as one of Jobim's greatest masterpieces. I'm glad the enjoyed it, but it just didn't do anything for me. I'll pass on this one.

The Best from Buddah

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/6115wP3co5L._AA300_.jpg)


While Buddah Records had many successful artists (Johnny Maestro & The Brooklyn Bridge, The Isley Brothers, The Edwin Hawkins Singers, Brewer & Shipley,Curtis Mayfield and Charlie Daniels just to name a few,) in their later years, the first thing that most people think of when their name comes up is there association with "Bubblegum" music in the late 60s.
 This LP is a collection of their most successful Bubblegum hits. Who can forget "Green Tambourine", "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy", "Chewy, Chewy" and "Simple Simon Says?"  (http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-party-smileys-783.gif) (http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/Free-Cold-Smileys/)  (I don't know they didn't seem so corny when I was 9 years old.  :roll:   Now my son on the other hand was collecting Beatles and Pink Floyd albums when he was 9. Just goes to show the positive effect of proper parenting.  :thumb:)

I thought it might be fun to revisit some of the AM radio songs of my grade school days. What I did not realize was that while these songs may have sounded OK on a 1960s vintage AM transistor radio, the SQ is bad enough to make your ears bleed when played on a 21st century high end system.  #-o

I don't know if it is the original tapes or the mastering of this particular album, but I am beginning to think that the phrase bubblegum music must mean that whoever produced this album must have had gum stuck in his ears at the time. I can't think of any other way that somebody could have listened to the test pressing for this album and said "yeah that's good, that's go with it."   :duh

Some things just aren't even worth the 69 cent asking price at the Crack House.  :(

David Benoit: Professional Dreamer

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61HfVaMDcQL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Much more dynamic and forceful than I am used to hearing from Benoit. Sounds more like a recording from DMP than from GRP. Not that it's bad, I actally like it a lot, it's just not what I expected. Definitely worth a listen.

Wow, that is freaky. It is not unusual to hear about someone being killed when they com flying off a motorcycle during an accident, but this is the first time I heard of someone dying when a motorcycle flew on to them. But like I tell my kids, 18 wheelers play for keeps, and the don't lose very often.  :(

The Charlie Parker Story #3

(http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/35a24ca9ace13dec8be7151a8cf1a8af/694303.jpg)

Saw this in the Crack House and was hesitant at first to pick it up because I am not usually a fan of simulated stereo release. But the 69 cent price took over and I said what the heck. Wow, am I sure glad I did! :thumb: Simulated stereo or not, the SQ on this LP is really nice. And the musicianship just blew me away. I was sitting in the mancave getting very impressed with the music when I pick up the cover and glanced at the liner notes. Holy cow! :shock: This album is a virtual who's who collection of jazz musicians!!!! In addition to Parker, this album features performances Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonius Monk,  Buddy Rich, Miles Davis, Max Roach, Ben Webster, Johnny Hodges, Benny Carter, Oscar Perterson, Barney Kessel and Ray Brown.  8)

Each one of these guys was, or later became a legitimate jazz superstar in his own right and on this LP they were is backup musicians.  :drool:

No wonder I was so impressed. Check this one out if you can.  I know I am certainly going to be on the lookout for the rest of the series.  [-o<

Mozart Requiem, the latest download from B&W Society of Sound. Yum.

Overall pleased with the SoS tunes, although I thought all were available in hi-rez, but maybe half of the "Peter Gabriel" side of the club are std redbook.

Over the course of the first year the cost will be about 1$ per album.  (album? disc?  what's the proper term when you download?  Ahh, "file" I guess)

Bryan,

Glad to see you are breaking them in young.  :D

If you like Harry Chapin you should really check out the line of children's CDs put out by his brother Tom. Children's based themes but musically something that we as adults can listen to and not lose our minds. I would start with the "Family Tree" album.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61P2OIzmZCL._AA300_.jpg)

more info at:
www.tomchapin.com

Tom Paxton also has a series of nice children’s albums.

Thanks.  I'll definitely look into those.

He's actually pretty funny. If it's synthisized music, he couldn't care less.  But, when he hears real acoustic instruments, he just gets locked in a trance. 

Our whole family has a musical background so it's not surprising he has a taste for music.

My Dad took me to see Harry Chapin at Convention Hall in Asbury Park when I was 10 years old.  Pete Seeger was the warm up act.  Third row seats. What a great show.

I was in my car backing out of the driveway on the way to a Harry Chapin concert at Eisenhower Park when they interupted the regular radio broadcast with a special news bulletin that Harry had just died in a car crash on the Long Island Expressway.

Harry was not only a great musician and showman, but a wonderful human being as well. He never let fame go to his head and was always concerned with making the world a better place. He was involved in many charitable endeavors and unbenounced to most people was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of the Long Island Philharmonic. His fellow Long Islanders truly miss him, in more ways than one.


If you have not heard it check out the live album issues in 1198 of a show he did at The Bottom Line in NYC. I think it is much more representative of Harry's concerts that the "Greatest Stories Live" album that I always felt had too much of a commercial feel to it and lost the personal nature of Harry's shows.

Good wine with French semi-soft cheese, honey crisp apples and Ritz crackers while listening to 'The Pachelbel Canon', wife gone into the hospital to code for OT, and son upstairs playing CoD, if this is a dream then don't wake me.

Now I appreciate the struggle of getting these components together over last 8 months or so.

If you like Jim Croce you should give a listen to some of the stuff done by Terry Cashman and Tommy West, Who produces Croce's albums for ABC Records. My particular favortie is:

Cashman & West: Lifesong

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Mj2qxUehL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Contains a musical tribute to Croce backup guitatist Maury Muehleisen who dies along with Croce in a 1973 plane crash.

Rozsa Violin Concerto  Jascha Heifitz RCA Gold Seal

Samples #4-6
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001BG0SOA/

This is a beautiful concerto. Melodic, exciting, 20th century modern harmonies. Heifitz is on fire. Recording is good, lots of lovely string ring, wood and air, and compression, but not offensive. Nobody has a sound like that.

It is playing on the radio tonight, WCPE. Just realized the compression is probably the radio station. They do squeeze it pretty hard.

This is a live recording of a concert given by Harry's family and friends that celebrated his life and music. The key word here is celebrate. I attended one of these concerts a few years back at the Tillies Center at C. W. Post and it was truly a joyful celebration. You really got the feeling that everyone on the stage couldn't think of a single thing they would rather be doing other than standing there singing Harry Chapin songs. The enthusiasm was infectious and it was a great show.  :thumb:

You guys may find this hard to believe, but I did not buy these last three Ray Brown CDs at the Crack House, I actually bought them at a record store. OK, they were $6 each in the cutout bin, but they were not 99 cents at the Crack House.

This particualr disc, in addition to being a nice sounding collection(bith musically and in terms of SQ), is a 24K gold CD pressing. Not many people realize what these Victoria's secret CDs are and as a result they can usually be found at extremely cheap prices through the usual used CD sources.

Additionally, shopping for new copies of the Victoria's Secret CDs provides two distinct advantages:

1) it gives you the opprotunity to wander through the store by yourself   :drool: - "Hey, I'm shoping for CDs." and

2) it gives you something to do while your wife is looking through the store for hours.  :duh

The Rocky Horror Picture Show Audience Par-Tic-I-Pation Album

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51nG8yzFslL._SL500_AA280_.jpg)

My son did not believe me when I told him about the "specticle" of going to see RHPS in a theater. So I pulled out this album, recorded during a Greenwich Village showing of the film to capture not only the audio track, but also the audience actions and reactions to it. He thought they were all crazy until I showed him the gatefold picture of the audience in all thier costumes..... then he knew they were crazy.  :duh

It is all part of my fatherly duty to oversee his cultural upbringing  :D

The book cover pictures below are the same ones that were in the gatefold. BTW, this was not for Halloween, it was just a regular Friday night in The Village.  :shock:

Respighi: Pines of Rome

(http://www.audiophileusa.com/covers400water/34237.jpg)

I was very disappointed in this record. The sonics were not particularly good given the 45 RPM pressing, whichs goes to show you that techology alone is simply not enough.  But more disturbing was the fact that the performance was very mechanical and without any soul. I would pass ths one up.

I had long seen Percy Faith albums in the record stores but had never owned or even heard one. So when I saw this one, in good condition, in the Crack House I figure what the heck, let's check it out. The recording itself is not bad, but the content is pure elevator music. I guess it is OK if you are into that kind of stuff, but it is just not my cup of tea.

OK, all that glitters is not gold. While this is a London Blueback, the sound quality has a lot to be desired. Very strident and steely strings. Not the lush sound we have come to expect from the Blue Back series.

I worked in a record store when Honeydrippers came out. It was on heavy rotation in store along with Julian Lennon and U2 Joshua Tree.    At Christmas time people would stand in line 20 deep with stacks of LPs under their arms to check out. If it was one record, I knew the price with tax by heart. If it was 2, 3, 8, whatever. I would call the price before the previous person even pick up his bag. I was such a punk then. But it was a fun gig. We had the top 40 7" 45s in racks behind the counter. Each month I had to update the discography book that listed every record ever made, what's that thing called? They don't do those anymore, needless to say. I was 20.

They hired me because I (would work for $3.35/hr) knew a lot about jazz, and they had old farts come in there during the day who wanted to buy jazz and classical but nobody knew about it. I don't ever remember anyone asking me what's a good jazz record. But I do remember this guy, he said "I just got a new stereo and I want a record that will really show it off." At the time I thought to myself what a putz! You buy records only for the sound quality?  I took pity on him and picked a record that had dazzling audio quality, ear candy, frequency extremes and dynamics, at the same time, gave him half a chance to get into heaven if he woke up his soul with a little music. He came in a couple weeks later to say thanks, and buy some more EWF! :)

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51zXCauc8WL._SS400_.jpg)

Not their best record, but they were trying to compete with Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones' new sound and this was the last real EWF album with inspired songwriting, Maurice White singing well, and a real dance hit that made money on it's own. Some great ear candy on this one. I still have all the gold EWF records on vinyl. Rambling...

I never worked in a record store, but in my college days I did work in a commercial radio station. Even though it was a Black Gospel station (complete with Reverend Ike and live remotes of tent revivals), we were on the distribution lists of most of the major record labels for new pop releases. I can remember sitting in the control room with the program director after we went off the air the day that Aja was released (the station with clear channel rights to our frequency was in Buffalo so we were only allowed to operate during daylight hours). We played the album non stop from end to end just sitting there in awe and saying "oh  boy, this is going to be big."   :shock:

Good music, good memories.  8)

A little far out, but it's my first Shoenberg record. I read that Shoenberg was Glenn Gould's fav composer, besides Bach, of course. When he also said Bartok was BS my interest in Shoenberg was piqued.

Another beautiful Naxos recording, and the music is wholesome, and harmonically and rhythmically linear, if not melodically so. It is going somewhere fun and strange, like a new corner of the galaxy. Very tight playing.  Lots of sinus resonance, and metallic string tone.  :thumb:

Tom, try the Kenny Burrell station on Pandora, it seems to suit all moods and fits into every situation. I listen to it all the time.

This is a good example of why Pandora is great. I never really listened to or cared much about jazz guitarists. Thoe that i played with and had records of never really did much for me. The instrument always sounded awkward to me, just to hard to make it sound smooth playing bop. Then I heard some soulful grooves by Burrell and created a new station from it, for cool party music, not for serious jazz listening. But the more I listened to the station, the more technically accomplished I learned Burrell really is. I finally heard his record with Trane last week, now he is one of my most interesting artists. If you use Pandora as intended, by creating new stations when you hear a new artist you like, and rating the tracks as much as you can, it really pays off in discovering new music.

Santana: Guitar Heaven

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61JbX1SSfaL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)


OK, so much for the press release, now for my impression. While musically, this is a good album, there was something about the sound that bothered me. It sounded kind of restricted. I turned on my cassette deck to check the output levels of the DAC. Sure as heck the dynamic range was virtually nil. The needles on the VU meters never fell outside of the range of -3 to +3 db. A 6db total dynamic range makes for a pretty poor souding recording. Looks like we have another victim of the ipod age.......

Isn't that scary? It wasn't too long ago that the cassette deck (a Tandberg TD-420A) was running like the hammers of hell cranking out tapes to play in the car. But now that all of my car audio systems are CD based I don't think I had even turned it on for 2 or 3 years. The only reason it is still around is that I have a few dozen tapes of live recordings made of friends bands that I still want to have access to. (And not only do I still keep the cassette player, but I also have the outboard dbx unit used to make those field recordings.) One of these days I will get up the energy and ambition to rip all of those recordings to digital files and then I will be able to retire the tape system. Hopefully the deck will not have dried up and/or seized up before then.  [-o<

Nice from a performance stand point, but these are live club recordings from 1952 &53 so the sound quality is not that great. I enjoyed listening to this disc at work on my computer, but the SQ on the main system was kind of disappointing. Sounds kind of like an old time radio broadcast (which is most likely what it was recorded for.)

Marian McPartland's mainstay was always small combo acoustic jazz. This "with strings" thing is a showstopper for me. The overproduces string arrangements make her sound more like Mantovani than Oscar Peterson. Reminds me of dentist office musak. If you are into that, you'll probably enjoy this album. It is just not my cup of tea.

Rich,

I'll have to give that a try. I listen to Pandora a lot at work and you're right, it has lead me to a lot of good stuff I might have overlooked before. (If you like James Taylor search on his son , Ben Taylor. He has done some nice work with his Dad & Mom (Carly Simon).  Another nice Pandora find. :D )

I have had a George Benson station set up for quite some time now and it pulls in a lot of the same jazz guitar artists, but i will have to set one up around Kenny Burrell. While they are both talented jazz guitarists, they do seem to take their music in slightly different directions. Not better or worse, just different (variety is good.)

I know what you mean. I just wonder what it is that "they" keep doing that causes concentric circular scratches. Scratches that cross the track of the data pits can almost always be dealt with by the CD players error correction circuitry. But ones that scribe the same arc as the data often cause dropouts and in many case the disc to shut down and stop playing. (And DVD/SACDs are even more sensitive to this.) I still can't figure out what causes this kind of physical damage to the discs.  ](*,)

That said, the damage to the library CDs is still much less obtrusive that the damage that used to be done to library records. For the most part a Cd with scratches can still be played and enjoyed, but a mishandled library record was very often so full of clicks and pops that it was unusable.  :evil:

   LE REX – LE CORSE
Four wind instruments and a drum – this is Le Rex, the ultimate mixture of groove, harmony and juicy melodies with an unmistakable addiction to the unexpected.
Last summer, the band, which has been founded in 2008 by the saxophone player Marc Stucki, who lives in Berne, Switzerland, retreated to Corsica to literally rehearse in the bushes, record a CD at the beach and busk spontaneously within a fortnight.
The music of Le Rex reveals a spectacular kaleidoscope of crispy popgrooves, balkanese horn riffs, intoxicating and frisky rhythm ’n’ blues parts and the sweet bitterness of leaden ballads. Even though the five musicians play without any electricity, they definitely are electrifying at all times...http://unitrecords.ch/page.php?pid=1000&fid=1175&lx=en (http://unitrecords.ch/page.php?pid=1000&fid=1175&lx=en)

I am a big Benson fan from way back and I have to say that this is the first Benson album I have heard that I really just didn't care for. There is just too much going on and not enough of it is related to Benson. I think George is at his best when doing straight forward simple jazz. But this album is just way overdone. When I looked at the liner notes there are 21 musicians on this album in addition to Benson!. I think this record should be featured on the next DVD release of "Producers Gone Wild!"

Looks like some good selections. The quality of performance is very important part of enjoying Bach. Some musicians just do the motions, not feeling the connection, then it is pretty boring, same with Mozart. I am not familiar with any of those performers. So if it sounds a little boring, just try to focus on the melodies and counterpoint (how the different instruments interact together.)  I'll make a batch of bitchin bach for you.

Be careful about the St Matthews Passion at the end. That will put you in the grave with boredom, and some of the others are a little lightweight, but pleasant. The Brandenburg Concerto #3 is probably the coolest one on there and the Toccata and Fugue in D minor.

Believe it or not:  The Masterpiece Collection: Volume I -- Bach

Rich suggested Bach as a means of introducing myself to Classical Music!  I am trying! :rofl:

Pick up a copy of Vivaldi "The Four Seasons", trust me, you've already heard parts off it a million times, mostly car commercials at Xmas.

Beethovens 5th and 6th.

Handel "The Water Works" is both good and accessible, the Telarc cd has great sound to boot, Sir Charles Mackerras conducting.

Ken,

If you are looking for something yo jumpstart a classical collection try the Reference Recordings release of Tafelmusik: Popular Masterworks of the Baroque

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51rcFB%2Bs9PL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

It is a really first class performance with that fantastic Keith Johnson Reference Recordings sound. Nice as a CD and really nice if you can get your hands on a copy of the 45 RPM vinyl.  :drool:

This one somehow always keeps working its way back up to the top of the pile.  :thumb:

Agree about Beethoven's 5th. 

Listen to the first movement.  Those familiar with Classical scoff at it as all-too-familiar, but it is a perfect piece of music. Find a good performance. There are so many: Bernstein,  Giulini, Osawa, Von Karajan to name a few. If you listen to the first movement (about 8 minutes, or so) and find yourself unmoved, then you will never be a fan of Classical music.   I think it's better to learn that from the outset than to torture yourself plodding through yet another Bach concerto.

If you like the first movement of the 5th, listen to the second and third and fourth movements.  Then listen to the fourth movement of Beethoven's ninth.  Still with us?  Try the whole ninth.  From there, the world of Classical is wide open to you.

I am sorry to get off topic but I would like to thank you guys for the Classical Recommendations.  When I attend a G2G and Rich puts on a classical cut I enjoy the detail of the music; however, since I am a stranger to classical music I don't have a real appreciation for the complexity. As my system and my I believe my ears have evolved I really want to make a serious effort to spend more time listening to classical.  Rich tells me that it is not compressed as are the popular rock and roll and jazz recordings.  Anyway, I look at this a a continued part of the audio journey.

Thanks again for the recommendations.

Downspirit - Point of Origin

For those of you who like straight ahead Rock N Roll.....you don't know what your missing! I know you rock fans will thank me for turning you on to these guys.....so, your welcome in advance!

Quote
Downspirit is a new band that was formed in 2009 by SYMPHORCE/Ex-FREEDOM CALL guitarist Cédric “Cede” Dupont. Dupont wanted to fulfill his dream to form a band dedicated to the combination of blues and metal music. With Point of Origin, Downspirit has somehow managed to blend 80′s hard rock, modern metal and blues to create a sound that is familiar, and yet refreshingly different from so many of the bands on the scene today.

Found a vinyl copy of the Mercury Living Presence Stereo release of Dorati & the Minneapolis Symphony doing Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/611Rl4Sg-iL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

This led us to have an 1812 "shootout." (Appropriate term for this particular comparison, isn't it?)

Compared it to the Reiner/ Chicago RCA Shaded Dog (45RPM Classic Records reissue)

(http://www.classicrecords.com/covers/LSC2241-sm.jpg)

And the Telarc Kunzel/Cincinnati Pops CD with its legendary digital cannons.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/715T3gWFGvL._AA300_.jpg)

For starters all three were good performance musically, although if pushed I would have to give the edge to the Reiner performance (The differences were small and I just happen to be partial to Reiner's style and readings, but I could certainly live with any one of the three.)

As is often the case the Mercury pressing is a bit on the noisy side. It doesn't look bad from a visual inspection perspective, but when played exhibits quite a bit of surface noise. To the point of being quite noticeable and at times quite annoying.

I think the RCA had the best overall SQ. partially because it is a 200g 45 RPM pressing from Classic Records and partially because the RCA Living Stereo series, in general, tended to have a warmer and more lush sound that the Mercury Living Presence Stereo series. Unfortunately the RCA release contains no cannons or gunshots and therefor as good as it is musically, it does not have the excitement of the other releases. (In fact when the Dorati Mercury, with its real cannons was released a month or so after the Reiner, RCA pulled the Reiner from the shelves and deleted it from the catalog. I guess this is what happens when you let the marketing people run the show.  :duh )

The Telarc is, of course, the Granddaddy of all cannon recordings this CD was responsible for sending many speakers off to never-never land.  :shock: The LP is just as dangerous, but most people backed off the volume because the heard there cartridges mistrack the wide excursion grooves and tended to back off the volume more when playing the LP.But the CD never mistracked and probably burnt out more drives that any other recording in history. However on a system that can handle it the cannon shots sound really impressive. (My Thiel CS6s and the 250 wpc Classe Twenty-five really give this CD a run for its money.) The unfortunate side effect of this is that the cannon shots need so much dynamic headroom that the rest of the music is kind of compressed down into the lower sound level end of the range.

All good and each with their own sets of strengths and shortcoming, all three deserve a place in any serious classical music collection.

Eric Clapton: E.C.Was Here

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61ZKPMTF37L._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

A 1975 live album that found Clapton at--if you'll pardon the expression--a crossroads, E.C. Was Here marks the line of demarcation between the guitar hero of the past and more song-oriented player he'd become for the second half of the '70s. Clapton breaks out on a couple of old Blind Faith numbers--"Presence of the Lord" and "Can't Find My Way Home"--that reflect his soulful, spiritual side, while "Further On Up the Road" rocks out and Charles Brown's "Drifting Blues," restored to its full eleven-and-a-half-minute length on the CD's newly remastered version, presents another instrumental showcase. There are only six tunes here, but E.C. leaves his indelible mark on each of them. --Daniel Durchholz

How did you like the 5th?  I'm not familiar with the Bruno Walter version, but the Bernstein posted by tmazz immediately after your Walter is part of my collection and one of the best versions I've heard.  The 5th's tempo should be slow, too often its pace is rushed.  The Bernstein is fabulous.

Haydn: Surprise Symphony No. 94, Clock Symphony No. 101 - Monteux/Vienna Philharmonic

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61WxYAu9pKL._AA300_.jpg)

I was very disappointed with this LP. Very nice music, decent SQ, but there were so many clicks & pops that the album was unlistenable. On a more dynamic piece of music the clicks might have gotten "lost in the sauce", but both pieces on this album are quiet ones to the noise just gets right in your face.

Visually it does not look like it  is in bad shape, but once it hits the TT, pop city. Luckily it is a crack house disc so I didn't put out a lot on money for it. I just goes to show you that you can look at an LP all you want, but nothing replaces a play grading.

Laurence Juber: Pop goes Guitar

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51wuW8VDaFL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Solo acoustic guitar versions of major Pop hits by this former lead guitarist for Paul McCartney & Wings.

Samples:

Very nice from both a musical and a performance standpoint, but kind of disappointing sonically. Sounded OK in the car and on the computer, but on the big system exhibited a disturbingly artificial sense of dynamics, probably cause by excessive signal processing  (compression?) in the recording chain. The dynamic changes just did not sound consistent with what one would expect to hear out of an acoustic guitar.

But I still enjoy this one in the car.  :)

Lady Sings the Blues

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41CVYY8R17L._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

We've called them torch singers, divas, chanteuses, and the First Ladies of American Song. And as the contemporary, Grammy-bedecked ascent of Norah Jones (who appears here with Charlie Hunter) attests, these ladies who sing the blues continue to reinterpret a tradition rooted in the blues, yet steeped in songcraft that spans jazz, pop, and even rock. This double-disc, 26-track collection spans a half-century-plus and offers up not only a tantalizing introduction to legends and pioneers (including Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Della Reese, Etta James, Lena Horne) and an equally rich body of song standards, but also chronicles how an originally largely black heritage in effect became the pop mainstream in the '40s and '50s (and beyond) via the work of singers like Dinah Shore, Kay Starr, June Christy, Peggy Lee and Julie London. It's also a testament to how vital that legacy remains, with Jones' own Brazilian-inflected cover of Bryan Ferry's "More Than This" and Patricia Barber's spare, sultry '90s read of "The Thrill Is Gone" but two strong examples of the set's expansive scope. It's a compelling sampler and the best kind of musical appetizer: One that leaves you craving more. --Jerry McCulley

The Best of Peter Nero

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/616ORa76RsL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Another artist that I did concert sound for back in my days at the Lakeside Theater. The day of the show he had a Concert Grand delivered direct from Steinway, and had one of the factory techs tune it right on the spot. He hen made what sounded like a strange request , but actually made a lot of sense. He asked is if we could get two 100 what drop lights from the auto shop and put them inside the piano until just before showtime. Lakeside is an outdoor venue and he was afraid that if it started to get humid towards sunset the humidity could cause the wood inside the piano to swell ever so slightly, but enough to shift the tuning that he just had done. The bulbs would generate enough heat to keep the inside of the piano dry even if the ambient humidity started to rise. Actually pretty smart. But as particular as he was about his instrument, he was always very appreciative of what we did for him and a real gentleman with the staff. Most of my stage crew was made up of high school kids, rather than union stagehands, and I think he actually enjoys hanging out with them during  the sound checks in the afternoon.

I have run across a number of albums at the crack house recently by artists that I worked with at the theater. It's really kind of fun to relive those times.

But it did in my computer, so I burned a copy onto a CD-R and that plays fine in the CDP (a Denon 2910 Universal player.)   :-k

Unfortunately, the album really wasn't really worth the trouble. Some rather uninspired readings of older Big Band/Sinatra type standards.  And on top of that her voice isn't what it once was. I wouoldn't go out of my way for this one. (Hey, at least she still looks good.  :D )

That's funny.  I wonder what their music procurement policy is? How do they decide what new music to buy.
Title: Re: What are you listening to right now?
Post by: tmazz on November 29, 2010, 09:32:27 PM
Do they actually buy the music upfront before they pass it out or do they have some kind of demand based payment system that pays royalites depending on how much a particular song gets played? (which is not unlike how regular commercial radio stations pay for music. I can remember many an hour spent filling out the Arbitron Spring book.  ](*,)
Title: Re: What are you listening to right now?
Post by: richidoo on November 30, 2010, 06:49:40 AM
Based on the tendency to repeat the same songs over and over on a given station it seems like they have a finite selection of music available.

Don't know how or if they pay royalties on the plays. Considering how militant RIAA and publishing companies ASCAP and BMI are about collecting them I can't imagine the play is free, although non profit radio stations are often free or greatly reduced rates. Using Sonos I don't pay for Pandora at all, and don't look at the webpage ads either. But I guess someone does.

A fine Brubeck record, collection of various live, studio and rehearsal takes. I've loved Brubeck and Desmond since I was 15. This has the early quartet pizazz and innocence, and sound quality isn't bad.

Turns out yesterday was 237th anniversary of Boston Tea Party also - and Senate paid tribute.  :thumb:

Tonight is something more modern:
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61UITWlFxRL.jpg)

I heard NC Symphony play this (the 3rd) in 2006, from the nosebleed seats way in the back. It was a life changing experience to hear this live, back when the (then new) conductor had something to prove. I  never knew a symphony could do this, and it cured my fear of venturing beyond safe Dvorak and Tchaikovsky, and Shostakovich was right there waiting. This is more earthly, yet more complex than Shostakovich. Possibly the richest harmonies I've heard in any music. There are several instances of real peace here, which is rarely found in Shostakovich symphonies. And some angry fffs on occasion too. Overall a gigantic symphony.

I have only heard this Karajan version, but it feels as convincing as the live one I heard. I generally don't like Karajan recording if heard after I am already familiar with the work, so I'd like to hear other versions at some point. Pls recommend one if you know any that are good.

EDIT: I found some reviews for this album:

"This Honegger disc is one of Karajan's very finest efforts, featuring simply astounding playing from the Berlin Philharmonic. Although Herbert von Karajan probably would have wanted to be remembered as a great conductor in the central German repertoire, his best orchestral recordings often were in pieces that stood outside of his "Fach". This Honegger disc is certainly one of them. It seems like only yesterday that DG reissued it in its "Originals" series, but now thanks to Arkivmusic.com's on-demand program with Universal it hopefully will be available forever.

The Second Symphony, for strings and trumpet, features simply astounding playing from the Berlin Philharmonic, with an impact and sonority that the orchestra certainly can't equal today. The "Liturgique" also has an uncommon degree of bite and excitement; there's none of that excessive smoothness that made Karajan sometimes sound like the "snake oil salesman of music". Stravinsky's Concerto in D probably is his coldest, most sterile creation (leaving aside some of the very late pieces), and this gracefully immaculate performance suits its "pure" aesthetic to perfection. Very good sonics, again better than Karajan often got from the yellow label, complement one of his very finest efforts.

--David Hurwitz, ClassicsToday.com"

----------------------------

"Karajan lived through two world wars and the Cold War, and died only weeks before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Many of his greatest orchestral performances were of works that anticipated war or embodied a state of what he called “complete catastrophe” -- works such as Sibelius’ Symphony No. 4, Mahler’s Symphony No. 6, or Shostakovich’s Tenth Symphony. But the Honegger Symphony No. 3, written in the immediate aftermath of WWII, drew from him performances of overwhelming intensity.

-- Richard Osborne, NPR.org"

Diahann Carroll With The Duke Ellington Orchestra: A Tribute to Ethel Waters

(http://thumbs2.picclick.com/pict/1804676938574040.jpg)

I was really kind of disappointed in this album. Good music, good recording, Mercer Ellington really has the band swinging, but Diahann Carroll just seems to phone in the performance. It just seems that throughout the album she is holding back for some reason. The band is very dynamic, but the vocals take you 95% of the way there and just fall short. I always got the feeling that the vocal crescendos should have been going just a little bit further than they ever did. This actually surprised me because back in the day I did sound for a Diahann Carrol/Vic Dimone show at the Lakeside Theater and she really belted them out with reckless abandon, but on this album she just never lets it rip.

How is it Ken? That is the Mahler cycle I have been posting about for a long time.

I downloaded Symphony No. 5 from HD Tracks several weeks ago and had not listened to it recently as it is a Hi-Rez File.  After Shane brought over the Zodiac+ I listened to it again on Saturday Evening and then purchased Symphony No. 9 from HD Tracks late yesterday.  

You know I am a neophyte when it comes to Classical Music but I have fallen in love with it.  It is beautiful, complex, full of transients and detail that push my system for every last bit of its capability.  My wife is not a convert yet but whenever I am here alone classical is all I listen to.  The quality of the Hi-Rez Mahler Symphonies is exceptional.  I look forward to continuing to expand my library.

+1 on the Linn classical station, they have a Jazz station as well.

I started in on Classical the 1st of this year, have been tweaking my system to support Classical playback. Just replaced my passive pre with a tubed Purity One pre for better classical reproduction. The SACD version of Mahler's 5th is testing the tubes as I type this.  :thumb:

Interesting Gene. I am listening to the Linn classical station now, and I can hear the effects of the compression much more on the classical channel than I can on the rock channel at same compression. I think it's that we're more sensitive to tonal aberrations on classical music. Most sounds on popular music are adjusted and enhanced for max palatibility, while classical recordings get compression and maybe some tube warmth added in mastering, but not heavy handed EQ and effects.
Title: Re: What are you listening to right now?
Post by: tmazz on December 20, 2010, 10:05:48 PM
Rich, I think the reason that we are more sensitive to compression and other alterations in classical music is that most of us, and especially those of who regularly attend classical concerts, have a good reference of what orchestral instruments are supposed to sound like. Therefore we know when that "proper sound is not being presented. In pop music there is so much electronic altering of sound in the recording process that the right sound of any given instrument is not an absolute standard, but rather whatever the production team for that recording decides it should be. Not that I am knocking that process for the altering of the instrumental sound has become an art form in and of itself, but no matter how artistic it is, music produced this way cannot provide us with any kind of sonic reference. If there is no real "right" sound, then it is hard to know when something in the mastering, distribution or playback chain is making it sound "wrong." We can know if something sounds better or worse to us, but not if the sound is right or wrong. It is easier to hear the aberrations in a classical recording simply because we have a reference to compare that sound to.

Vivaldi: The Four Seasons:Societa Corell

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51alN%2BSp0iL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

This is one of the scariest records that I have ever played on my system. Like most Living Stereos it have impeccable sound. However most of the recordings in this series were done in large concert hall settings so the sonic picture that they paint is one of sitting in a good orchestra seat of a large venue like Carnegie Hall. The best of these recordings transport you into the hall giving a nice "you are there" perspective. However this recording, being of a small chamber ensemble was recorded in a much smaller space. The acoustic cues that you get are very similar to what I would expect to here in a space not too different from the size of my mancave. As a result the usual "you are there" perspective  now becomes a very realistic "they are here" perspective. I have have the opportunity on several occasions to here all or parts of The Four Seasons performed in living room type spaces and I can tell you, the realism projected by the LP is spot on. Not only is the tonality and resolution top shelf, but the spatial ques are appropriate to the size of the room I am actually listening in. The effect is uncanny.  :thumb:

Here's a question for the group - Does anyone know what the BART. and C.H designations mean?

Bart. = Baronet, he inherited his father's Baroncy.

CH =  Order of the Companions of Honour

Thanks for the info Gene. I picked up several Sir Thomas Beecham LPs at the Crack House this week. SO far I am very impressed at what I have listened to both from a musical and a sound quality standpoint.

Oh cr@p, another series of LPs to hunt down and collect.  :shock:

One Line, Two Views features seven compositions for nine-piece ensemble by Muhal Richard Abrams. Works range from the subtle textural and tonal explorations of “Textures,” “Hydepth,” and the title track to the hard bop revisitations of “11 over 4” and “The Prism 3.” The disc is rounded out by an ebullient, joyous, and celebratory “Tribute to Julius Hemphill and Don Pullen” and the blues-tinged “Ensemble Song.” Abrams opts for unique instrumentation including violin, harp, and accordion.  These unconventional additions to the standard jazz ensemble enhance the warm tones and full sound of this recording. ..http://www.newworldrecords.org/album.cgi?rm=view&album_id=80469 (http://www.newworldrecords.org/album.cgi?rm=view&album_id=80469)

Not a big opera fan, but I saw this at the Crack House and it is a mint condition London Blue Back, so I thought I would give is a shot.

As one would expect from a Blue Back it is nice sounding with a big wide soundstage. (But I am still not a big opera fan.)

A second cut at Reggae versions of Pink Floyd's legendary Dark Side of the Moon album. While the first CD (Dub Side of the Moon) basically replicated the original album with a reggae flavor, this disc is more a reggae interpretation of the music and as such departs from the original charts much more widely and is more Reggae with a hint of Pink Floyd than the other way around.

Saw this at the Crack House and thought "The Morman Tabernacle Choir doing Beethoven's 9th? This has potential...."  :-k

Well potential was all that is had. This has got to be one of the worst sounding classical recordings I have heard in a long time. It is closed in, dead sounding, , cluttered... think od a word that describes bad sound and it will probably somehow apply to this record.   ](*,) I only paid 53 cents for it and I still feel like I got taken (maybe I could use it for a coaster.... )  :roll:

That's a great one. Tchaikovski Violin Concerto is standard of all standards for violinists. It was thought to be unplayable when it was first published. Fischer plays it technically perfect and powerful, but not the most graceful version ever.

I downloaded this one from HD Tracks this afternoon.  With mom here until Thursday (due to the snow) and having to go to Vera's Mom's yesterday the system has had no work since last Friday.  Nothing but Classical all day and all I can say is I feel like I have a whole new world of music to enjoy.  Thanks guys for starting me on this journey.

Pentatone is a great label too, with consistent audiophile quality and some great artists, mostly based in Eastern Europe.

Brahm Violin Concerto is another warhorse, I like it better than Tchaikovsky. Rachel Barton Pine is the best Brahms I've ever heard. In fact I think I'll play it right now....

Post by: tmazz on January 01, 2011, 02:51:33 PM
Rich, if you liked that one you should really check out the Reference Recordings release of Respighi's "Church Windows". I have never heard the CD (I am sure it is no slouch), but I can tell you that the 45 RPM vinyl pressing is absolutely breathtaking. Keith Johnson was a man who was way ahead of his time.

OK, now you and Ken have thrown down the gauntlet. I am going to have to start combing through my Reference Recordings archives.  :idea:

That's one of the great things about this thread. It often either enlightens you to a new source of good music or ignites a spark tat brings you back to some of those gems of the past that you haven't visited in a long time.  :thumb:

Yes, the thread does keep us talking about music. Thanks to Lonewolf for starting this thread, he knows the music is the most important thing.

I love everything Respighi, so I will definitely check that out Tom, thanks. He and Prokofiev are the two composers that I would like to have everything they did.

Of course the music, the sound and the performance are first rate, but there is an interesting story behind the packaging of this 45 RPM LP release. In order to get the kinds of dynamics that Keith Johnson wanted on this album the music had to be spread over 3 LP sides. Rather than leave the 4th side blank Johnson figured that most audiophiles would play the music on side 3 most often (March to the Scaffold and Dream of a Witches' Sabbath) so he pressed that music onto both side 3 & side 4. He also used this same technique on later RR LP releases.

Wilson Audiophile records (Yes this is the same company that makes Wilson speakers) put out two albums with Lowell Graham and the National Symphonic Winds. Superb sonics (I think the super wide dynamics were designed to show off the capabilities of his speakers) and great performances Be careful the first time you listen because they start of with fairly soft passages that have lulled more than a few people to turn up the volume only to damage their equipment when the big peaks came along.

John Philip Sousa is a folk hero of sorts in these parts. He lived and did much of his writing in Port Washington , NY which is only a few miles from where I live now and is the town tat my wife grew up in.

This CD presents John Philip Sousa music given the Keith Johnson, Reference Recordings treatment. Need I say more?

Looks like a nice collection of music, although I am not familiar with any of the performances in particular.

I made an interesting discovery recently with regards to  the importance of SQ  and classical music. I my rummagings through the Crack House I cam across some albums that I remember from my parents classical collection when I was growing up. I never had too much appreciation for classical music back then and I think I am beginning to understand why. Almost every one of those albums that I picked up had fairly dreadful sound. (Not that the equipment we had in our home when I was a kid was any great shakes, but these albums were particularly bad. Even today, poorly recorded classical music just doesn't hold my interest. I have much more tolerance for poor sounding pop music, but if classical does not sound good it doesn't stay on for more than 1 or 2 minutes. I guess it may have to do with the fact that  I have a good acoustic reference of what unamplified classical is supposed to sound like. Pop on the other hand is supposed to sound like whatever was inside the producers brain that morning. Some people have suggested that I grew into my appreciation of classical music, but my soon Bobby developed a love of classical at age 14 (but he was used to hearing it on my rig.)

With this in mind I have the following suggestions for you. First keep an eye out for releases from the RCA Living Stereo, Mercury Living Presence and Reference Recordings series. I have never heard a bad sounding disc from any of them. Secondly, while you are in the discovery phase, make liberal use of your local library. Library records had a bad name because of how beat up they got and how bad the sounded after that. But CDs take much more abuse that records and still sound good. Check with your reference librarian and see if you guys have a web based catalog system. I have on-line access to the catalogs of all 54 local libraries in Nassau County and can order CD fro any of them from the comfort of my home at it will be delivered to my local branch. Great way to save a few bucks while to are trying to establish your preferences.

Finally another fun thing to do is once you find a particular piece of music that you like, start searching out multiple performances of that piece.It is interesting to hear how different conductors and orchestras put their own spin on a give piece. I must have 6 or more copies each of Scheherazade, Pictures at an Exhibition, Beethoven's 9th,  and Peter & the Wolf and each one has its own unique character.  (I have also gotten rid of several lousy copies of each.) This is another place where access to the library collection will com in handy. And if you find something from the library that you really like, you can always but a copy of that single disc (as opposed to the other couple of dozen that you listened to and didn't really care for.)

Rich has a good idea. If you are going to start seriously listening to classical music, attending a few live concerts would give you and acoustic reference to compare recordings to.

Although we did have a Syndrome member who told us he had to give up going to live concerts because they made his stereo sound bad.  :rofl:

Yes, definitely! :thumb:

Rich made a comment sometime back that I might need more bass if I really get into classical.  While I distinctly hear the kettle drums I don't feel their impact.  May have to consider integrating subs in the future. :rofl:
Title: Re: What are you listening to right now?
Post by: richidoo on January 03, 2011, 12:24:40 PM
Also, make sure you play classical music loud enough to bring it to life. Big speakers find their value here, with their ability to maintain excellent tone at high volumes and frequency extremes and delivering huge dynamic swings.  

We gave up season symphony tickets because listening to the home stereo was vastly better in almost every way, except for the live feeling. We attend specific acts and specific compositions now instead of season tix where 1/2 were disappointment. If I lived in NY or Minneapolis it might be different story.    But there are great travelling acts that come to UNC.

Ken, that last one looks smokin.  :thumb:

I remember visiting Newbury comics, nice place. Glad to know they are still kickin.  First time I ever saw a record cleaner was in that place. I used to go to another place up on Boylston near Mass Ave called Looney Tunes. They're gone now... I bought a lot of Blue Note import cutout LPs for $4 each back in the day, mid 80s.

I think you did pretty good on your shopping trip.  :thumb:

The Crack House had a bunch of loose CDs last night priced 2 for 69 cents. (Somebody must have donated a collection in some kind of CD wallets.) Scored about a dozen really nice jazz discs, mostly Verve and Telarc. This is the first of them.

It is my opinion that left brain goofs are a sign of right brain transcendence. When I was a kid I noticed that when I was in a period of musical growth my communication skills lessened. Certainly you're getting your RDA for music listening, Tom...

OK, it's snowing out. Enough to stay home, but not enough to require massive amounts of shoveling. We knew the storm was coming so I basically cleared my calendar for the weekend, just in case it was bad. The tubes are warmed up and I have a pile of 5 lps and 12 CDs from the Crack House. and 6 discs from the library.

Life is good....  8)

The Movie Lover's Beethoven: George Solti. Vladimir Ashkenazy

(http://i20.ebayimg.com/08/c/000/77/77/e6d3_8.JPG?set_id=89040003C1)

A nice collection of Beethoven excerpts that were used in various movies. Nice sound good performances. Normally I don't care for discs that don't play an entire piece from start to finish, but I think this collection will make nice listening in the car for short trips around town when I wouldn't have time to hear the whole thing anyway.

Play list and samples:

Peter Yarrow, Bethany Yarrow and Cellist Rufus Cappadocia

From Amazon:

"It is nice to hear Peter Yarrow, of Peter, Paul & Mary, recording with his adult daughter. They have a good combination of voices and do a nice set of folk music. Always good to hear "Puff" again, but there is a lot of enjoyable music on this. If you like Peter Yarrow or folk music, this is a set for you."

Al Caiola & His Orchestra: Italian Street Songs

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61RZV7AatGL._AA300_.jpg)

This disc was mixed in with a bag of loose CDs I bought at the Crack House. I don't think I ever would have pick it up on its own , but there were several Verves in the bag that I wanted so this just came along with the rest of the bunch. I was actually surprised how much I ended up liking this disc. The sound is much better than I expected and the music reminds me of Sunday Dinner at my Grandparents house when I was 5 years old. Charlie & Bill, I think this one will bring back memories for youse guys as well.  :D

John Denver: Whose Garden Was This

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31vfZx54VtL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

I picked this up because it contained a number of covers of late 60s folk/rock songs. I put it on the turntable and couldn't even listen to 30 seconds of any given song. This has got to be one of the poorest recording jobs I have ever heard. Every peak is driven right into distortion. I am shocked that a company as well respected as RCA could let a piece of sonic trash like this out the door. (I guess the sound engineers from the classical side of the house never worked on or listened to the Pop releases.) I can only hope that there is really nothing wrong with the recording and the person who donated it to the Crack House played the hell out of it and what I am hearing is physical groove wear and not the sound of the original recording. But the record does not visually appear to worn or played a lot , so I doubt it

Tmazz I have a few questions

2. A TAS superlist ?
3. With the hours that you are up are you a vampire ?

1) We have a thrift shop in town that sells LPs for 69 cents and CDs for $2 or less. My son nicknamed it "The Crack House"  because he says I get all twitchy if I don't get there every couple of days for a "fix".

2) The TAS Superdisc List is a list published periodically by Harry Pearson in The Absolute Sound magazine of what he considers CDs  an LPs of outstanding or reference quality. shown below  is a link to a copy of an old list on the Acoustic Sounds web site. I  know there are more current ists that have been published, but this should give you an idea of what it is all about. There are quite a few 180 reissues that are on the current list, but what ever is here still sounds good.

Pacifica is my fav string quartet. I think they are the best in the world right now.  Technically and musically nobody can touch them. I heard them play Beethoven op 133 live (string quartet #16, the last thing he wrote) then walked to my car and put on my favorite op133 recording by Prazak Qt, it felt simple compared to their deep spiritual feeling. This CD won 2009 Grammy for "Best Chamber Music Performance." SQ on Naxos is always top notch.   Hearing Pacifica's Dvorak E-flat on the radio prompted me to get nice speakers to play them, which started my hifi quest.  I can't wait til they visit again. The Raleigh Chamber Music Guild has brought them in twice. About every 3-4 years they come back.

Carter is modern, but humble and meaningful. Their precise playing and feeling makes it come alive. A high school band playing this would be unbearable.

I'm really glad to see the traffic on this thread picking up. As I have said before, IMO this is one of the most valuable threads on all of AN. Talking about hardware is great, but in reality how many  of us buy hardware more than once or twice a year. I play music every day. and between used LPs and CDs (Yeah Crack House!   :yay2:) and borrowing from the library I can add to my music collection of a very regular basis. As a matter of fact I picked up three albums just this week based on recommendations from this thread. To everybody who posts here, thanks for sharing and keep the info coming.  :thumb:

On another note, I had a really cr@ppy day today. got to listen to two albums this morning and then all of a sudden mt ears clogged up solid. I've been fighting a sinus infection for almost two weeks and I guess it settled into my ears. It got so bad that I could barley hear my wife talk. Not that thin in and of itself is necessarily a bad thing,  :lol: but it really messed up my stereo listening.

If I am going to get rid of this thing I will need to get some extra sleep,  :shock:  so that's all for tonight. Will check in again tomorrow.

On another note, I had a really cr@ppy day today. got to listen to two albums this morning and then all of a sudden mt ears clogged up solid. I've been fighting a sinus infection for almost two weeks and I guess it settled into my ears.

I was working at WTHE on Long Island when this album was release I can remember the day our promo copy arrived I went into the studio with our program director after we had signed off the air for the day. We put Aja on one of the turntables and sat there with out mouths opened for the entire first side. When it was over all I could say to my boss was "This is going to be big.)

Great album.

The Classic Albums series of DVDs  has a good documentary about the making of Aja:

Jacintha - Here's to Ben

One of the best late night listening albums I know...Smooth vocals, classic interpretation...Georgia...Somewhere Over the Rainbow...Stardust...Sweet...

One of my top of the pile discs as well. Not only is it very enjoyable musically, but it is a great test disc as well. Danny boy is one of my go-to cuts when evaluating equipment. This one has it all. Good bass line , nice vocals, a sax solo that shine a light on tonality and resolution in their respective frequency bands. And it is a small combo with very well defined instrument placement that instantly shows changes in sound-staging when equipment is swapped, tweaks are made or speaker placement is moved. I also find it very useful to listen to the echo return on the vocals. As I made positive changes to the system the echo sounded more and more like it was coming from a specific point in space as opposed to just somewhere in the back. All this and good music too. This one is a winner.

BTW I Don't know what format you  were listening to this on. I originally got this album on and XRCD pressing and thought thought that was great sounding .... until I got my hands on the 45RPM 180g 2 LP set, which just blew away any of the CD pressings I have heard.

Duke Ellington: Live at the Blue Note

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41PHE37MEAL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Duke and his band captured live at the famous Blue Note club in Chicago on Aug 9th, 1959. Duke was a gret live performer, so from a content perspective this is a great album. The sound is OK with the exception of the ambient noise (glasses clinking, people talking a la "Jazz at the Pawnshop"). This gives you the perspective of sitting in the middle of the club as opposed to up front and close to the band. While this is a realistic portrayal of what it was like to see duke at one of these jazz clubs (where people came to eat drink and party while listening as opposed to sitting quietly in a concert hall during the performance) it can get a bit distracting to someone who is sitting in a mancave just listening to music.

Wolf Parade: Apologies to Queen Mary

First album from Wolf Parade, Indie Rock from Montreal.  Quirky, big, dissonant, noisy, rhythmic, melancholy and yet somehow intimate and fascinating.   Heavily influenced and guided by the folks in Modest Mouse.  Spencer Krug is frontman, also leads the ban Sunset Rubdown.

Funny coincident Chris. I just got this for my youngest daughter for Christmas. She asked for "lots of Kansas". Easy present, especially after I found it on the Nassau Cty library system (www.alisweb.com) and burned a copy for her. This weekend there was also a broadcast concery of Kansas on the tube, with Kerry Livgren and Steve Morse guesting for a tune or two. She liked it and knew more songs than me.

Kerry died last year I believe so it was a treat to see him on this show for the last time.

I guess you're listening to a lot of music these last few weeks, weather being what it is.

Grover Washington, Then & Now.

The only Grover album that is based in traditional jazz, rather than the soft quasi-jazz pablum that came to be known as smooth-jazz.  This album is smooth too, in that Grover Washington is an extraordinary saxophonist who has a true mastery over his instrument, but there is nothing pablum about it.  I believe this record was made for Grover himself and not for the commercial success that his records so often sought and achieved.  Helped by Ron Carter, Herbie Hancock, Tommy Flanagan and a crew of talented sidemen, Then & Now is warm and rich, melodic and dramatic and simply beautiful.  With the exception of electric bass, all of the instruments used are acoustic which helps create the traditional sound.  All around a beautiful record.  What a shame that it was the only one of its style that he recorded.

All time top ten favorite.

recent reissue, 2006. on the ESP-Disk label...
Quote
ESP's reissue series matches two classics on one disc, Sun Ra's Heliocentric Worlds, Vol. 1 & 2. These two 1965 sessions feature the Arkestra playing out, but mostly in small units, and rarely with the quirky humor often in evidence on Ra recordings. This space seems more intimate and introspective than some other galactic narratives in the discography. While the music here sounded like incomprehensible free jazz to critics living in the age of the Beatles and Herman's Hermits...http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=18845 (http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=18845)

Yusf Islam/Cat Stevens: An Other Cup

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41H-PZ7dEoL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)


Cat Stevens sold over 50 million albums in the 1970s.  Stevens had been searching for a spiritual path and a near fatal drowning incident had resulted in an epiphany. He decided to follow the path to Islam, converting in 1977 and taking the name Yusuf Islam in 1978. In keeping with his beliefs, he abandoned his music career shortly after and turned his attention to philanthropic works. in 2006 the released An Other Cup his first album of new pop material in over 25 years. While the songs do not promote any religion in particular they do have a generic religious overtone at many of them simply advocate simply doing the right thing and living a moral life. A pleasant change from so much of today's pop music that glorifies sex, drugs violence, or all three. The music is very Cat Stevens in stlye and well recorded.

So you have an album with good music, good sound & a good message. What a pleasant combination.

Cat Stevens: Tea for the Tillerman - MFSL UHQR

(http://www.collectorsfrenzy.com/Gallery/270466607443.jpg)

I was playing the Yusuf CD mentioned above this afternoon and my wife's home health aid recognized the voice as Cat Steven's and told me how much of a Cat fan she was.

I couldn't help myself, I just had to take her down to the mancave, sit her in the listening chair and put on the "Tillerman " UHQR. It absolutely blew her away  :shock: (I love it when that happens  (http://www.audionervosa.com/Smileys/default/eusa_whistle.gif) )

I have to admit, I have not played this LP in a while and it impressed me too.  8) The MFSL UHQR LPs are the granddaddy of all audiophile records. Too bad they only released 8 of them.  :(

Paul McCartney: Band on the Run

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ox0LhFAyL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Ordered this 180g 2 LP set from Amazon. When it arrived I found the entire disc 2 to be unplayable since there were big globs od a sticky goo on both sided (Looked like the glue they used to hold the inner sleeve together had oozed out and onto the record.)  :(

Packed it up, brought it to UPS and it is on its way back to them. Unfortunately they didn't offer me the option of having it replaced, I can only get a refund and place a new order for the same item. What a PITA.  :x

What I did get to hear on the undamaged side was nice and relaxed.  8)

Not a huge difference from the 25th Anniv CD, but the LP just had a sense of "realness" that did not come across on the CD.  :-k

The remastering was done at Abby Road by the same team that worked on the recent Beatles CD remasterings. Could there be a glimmer of hope that we may see some 180g Beatles vinyl in the not so distant future?  [-o<

Me too. Except I got mine for 53 cents during the customer appriciation day sale.  8)

Is it me or are you guys seeing a flood of used records hitting the market in the last few months? I makes for good times right now, but since the supply of old records is fixed, it makes me wonder if it will cause a shortage in the near future.  :(

I can just picture the conversation with my wife now....."But Honey, you don't understand, I had to buy 200 records, they may run out next year!"   #-o   :^o   8-[

Well, the owner of the crackhouse in Allentown tells me it's 1 person clearing out their classical collection, about 20 boxes so far, and he claims at least 20 more to come.

After that, who knows.

Right now;

Picked up this yesterday also - RCA boxed set of vinyl, great playing on an 'iffy' mono recording;

Trios
Rubinstein, Heifetz, Feuermann
Beethoven Op 97, Schubert Op 99, Brahms Op 8

Paul Simon: One Trick Pony

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51kzMoYWGdL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

I don't know how I missed this in the store, but this LP has a pretty significant warp along the outer edge. Everything played fine except for cut B1 which skipped twice as the stylus took off like a ski jumper. Other than that it is a nice album from both the music and SQ perspectives.

Damn, 53 cents just doesn't get you what it used to.  :roll:

Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops: Capriccio Italien/Capriccio Espagnol (Last Command Recording)

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/610S8YCWREL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Arthur Fiedler at his best along with a Direct to Disc recording in Boston's Symphony Hall. "Audiophile" recordings are infamous for proving great SQ of mediocre music or musical performances. Well this one hits the trifecta. Fiedler and the Pops turn in a masterful performance of these two great works and the direct to disc process captures every nuance of not only the music but also the great venue that it was recorded in.  :drool:

Without a doubt my favorite Capriccio.  :thumb:

Good one Ken! 5th is considered one of his best masterpieces. The 1st is his middle finger to all the classical elitist snobs of the 20s who thought he was the Billy Idol of composers at the time. It is cliched and deliberately amusing, but still innovative and addictive. I am always sad when it ends too soon. It was deliberately short to show that it is not his preferred style, just long enough to demonstrate that he could write traditional classical music but chooses not to.

Quote
The surprise in the pairing of these three creative music superstars is not that they have finally recorded together. The astonishing thing about Eloping With The Sun is the music they decided to make.

Choosing African instruments, percussionist Hamid Drake and bassist William Parker create trance-inducing rhythms for guitarist Joe Morris to play the banjo (yes, a banjo) and banjouke behind, over, and around. Morris, who is known to whip guitars into spaghetti-like chords of sound, eschews the noodles for a distinctive high-end sound of the banjo and the ukelele-like banjoukle.

William Parker choses a sintir, the four-stringed Morrocan bass lute, to propel energy lines throughout. Its sound, a whirling drone buzz associated with Gnawa music, may be a bit foreign to jazz ears. Together with the frame drumming of Hamid Drake, the pair creates a meditative statement not unlike an Indian raga...http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=11363 (http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=11363)

Greg Osby, who has recorded in a variety of settings (sometimes using hip-hop rhythms and rap), sticks to acoustic jazz on this relaxed, dry and often melancholy set, performing seven originals and two standards. In addition to the basic quartet/quintet (which sometimes utilizes the vibes of Bryant Carrott), five other musicians (most notably the acoustic guitar of Marvin Sewell) add color to some of the ensembles. Osby (who also plays some fine soprano in a sound derived from Wayne Shorter) has long had a very original improvising style, and his subtle solos on the date are continually interesting, although pianist James Williams (in top form) sometimes steals honors. None of the originals have particularly memorable melodies, but this CD acts as a good introduction to Greg Osby's playing. ~ Scott Yanow

There are times when something new comes along at once familiar and yet completely original. The album `Start to Move' from Elizabeth Shepherd Trio is just that. But what's more she has added her own unique blend of jazz-funk, soul, blues, and samba to the fundamentals of Jazz The album, `Start to Move' is Elizabeth's debut with Do Right Music, a label which seeks out new talent playing music that is out of the ordinary, and marks the inaugural release of the "Do Jazz" series. Co-produced with John Kong of the Movement Collective, established DJ and Do Right label boss, Elizabeth has put together a mix of original tracks and timeless classics. Her lyrics sing to us her struggle to find a place in a dynamic yet crowded jazz scene, as well as drawing on stories of love and life. From the jazz funk of `Reversed' to the samba beats of `Melon', the hip hop influenced `George's Dilemma' and the swinging modal of `Roots', the Elizabeth Shepherd Trio has given us music that seems effortless in its perfection, displaying her talents and the remarkable chemistry she shares with her band to never compromise her style for those seeking tradition.

Bird, Lover Man

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/517ZZtAoggL._SS500_.jpg)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJrhOjvDbtg

Soon after he went to jail for 10 days, then rehab for 6 months, during which this recording was released. Lover Man was a huge hit for Bird, but he was ashamed of his poor performance while strung out and never played it live again.

I lived in Thousand Oaks, CA in 91. One day my fiance and I were driving along the highway and I suddenly saw the sign and swerved into the empty parking lot of Camarillo State Hospital. My fiance played alto and knew who Bird was. It made an impression on me to see the place for myself. It was on the shore, up on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It closed in 1997. Rehab was unheard of in 1946, the facility was rare back then, but it extended Bird's life.

Birdflight (http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/wkcr/content/bird-flight) is a radio show about Bird on WKCR every weekday morning at 8:20, for the last 30 years. I stream it on a Sonos timer. It plays his entire recorded history over and over.

James Moody...Last Train from Overbrook

Listened to this last night. 

This was Moody's first album after spending time in rehab in NJ in 1958.  Not sure if this was an answer to 'Relaxin' at Camarillo" or if it was simply part of the jazz culture that forced genius musicians to systematically destroy themselves.  Fortunately, Moody made it through and lived a great life, passing away just this year.

Romantic and subdued bigger band music.  Features Moody on Alto, tenor and flute.

Cool stuff, Acid.  Never heard that before.  I like it.

How sad that their music has been posted for nearly 2 years and only received a dozen or so plays.  Justin Bieber is played dozens of times each day in every city.  The world is an unjust place.

Have you heard anything from Earthworks, Bill Bruford's band?  They have a similar feel.  Bruford, despite his Prog history, is truly a jazzer at heart.  His creativity (and jazz influence, believe it or not) is what helped Yes and King Crimson stand out and above the Prog world.  Don't hold it against him.

This was Moody's first album after spending time in rehab in NJ in 1958. 

Hey guys, instead of Retro Weekend what is this, Rehab weekend?  :lol:

OK I'll bite. Here is my ofering:

James Taylor: Sweet Baby James

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41uj5i2PQeL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Taylor has related different versions of what the song Fire and Rain is about.

In a BBC interview he said the song chronicled his experiences in mental institutions, such as his stay in McLean Hospital in Massachusetts as a Senior in high school, and the suicide of a friend. The fire in the song refers to his shock therapy. Rain is the cold showers that follow shock therapy.

On the VH1 series Story Tellers, Taylor said the song was actually about several incidents during his early recording career. The second line of the song, "Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you," refers to Suzanne Schnerr, a childhood friend of his who committed suicide while he was away recording his first album. In that same account, Taylor said he had been in a deep depression after the failure of his new band The Flying Machine to coalesce (the lyric "sweet dreams and Flying Machines in pieces on the ground"; the reference is to the name of the band rather than a fatal plane crash, as was long rumored).

As he was wondering what to do with himself, Schnerr's death drove him to see beyond his own worries and realize the transcience of life and his need to get back to his old friends. In other interviews, Taylor said a battle with drug addiction figured into the song.

In 2005, Taylor laid the rumors to rest during an interview on NPR. He explained to host Scott Simon that the song was written in three parts:[1]

The first part was indeed about Taylor's friend Suzanne, who died while Taylor was in London working on his first album after being signed to Apple Records. Friends at home, concerned that it might distract Taylor from his big break, kept the tragic news from him, and he only found out six months later.
The second part details Taylor's struggle to overcome drug addiction and depression.
The third part deals with coming to grips with fame and fortune, looking back at the road that got him there. It includes a reference to James Taylor and The Flying Machine, a band he briefly worked with before his big break with Paul McCartney, Peter Asher, and Apple Records.

"I Hate Banks"
by Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper

I hate banks...
I just can't stand 'em.
Gimme a shovel & man I'll plant 'em.
Six feet under thats where they belong...
I hate banks is the name of this song.
I think I'll rob myself one or two...
Yeah I hate banks, yeah, how 'bout you?

Well...lend me a nickel & lend me a dime,
repossess my house any old time.
Financial institutions think they're so high faluting...
Just a bunch of fruits in three piece suits,
trying to steal all my loot.
Things are smelling pretty rank,
We must be near a stinking bank.
Smells worse than Rockefellars feet,
Wall Street can eat my meat.

Yeah throw the moneylenders out of the temple;
I hate banks its just that simple.
Royal Crown Palm Ade Tin,
is a the best thing to keep your money in.
Mason jar is okay too,
if you see a bank well you know what to do.

Now, lemme tell you people something...
The only banks I like, well, I like Ernie Banks alright.
And I like the banks of the Mississippi River...
Yeah, and I like banks of fender twin reverb...
Electric guitar amplifiers behind me, raging on the stages...

Well,when I walk in they treat me like a dog;
want to hit them in the head with a doo-doo log.
Republicans, one and all...
Their talleywhackers are mighty small.
Stealing from the poor gonna give to the rich...
Wanna make the bank president twitch in a ditch.

Yeah, see that teller with the blue hair,
giving me the evil-eye stare.
Won't cash my check don't like my ID...
got the security guard after me.
If I was E. F. Sloane,
I'd say the Dow Jones can suck my bone.
Yeah.

Everybody say the three magic words!
I want you to help me say the words!
I want you to repeat after me!
I HATE BANKS!
Can't stand 'em!
I HATE BANKS!
Don't Like 'em!
I HATE BANKS!
Bunch of Foo-Foo's!
I HATE BANKS!
Contrary like a big zit!

I hate banks...
I just can't stand 'em.
Gimme a shovel & man I'll plant 'em.
Six feet under thats where they belong...
I hate banks is the name of this song.
I think I'll rob myself one or two...
Yeah I hate banks, yeah, how 'bout you?

Now lemme tell you something...
I'm not real fond of the PHONE COMPANY either!
You know?
Yeah, and I don't like the cable TV company.
You know why I don't like the cable TV company?
Cause they just be sucking that stuff right out the sky!
THEY don't have to pay nuttin for it!
I just get me one of them bootleg cable boxes,
and get me one of them climb the pole and stick the thing in...
I ain't gonna pay for it!
NOOOOO!!!!"



"Feeling Existential"
by Mojo Nixon; performed by Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper

Your goatee is growin'
In front of your fake French café
You're readin' Kirkegaard
Underneath your very black beret
Smokin' filterless Camels
That stink just like Gitanes
Drinkin' some "express-o"
Droppin' all the names
Standing outside of a Winchell's
You're feeling very existential

You dreamed you were Whitman --
Walt, the poet, the bard --
But you're really more like Slim:
An evil tub of lard
Lookin' in the mirror,
And think you see James Dean
Now you turn to Dylan --
You "coulda been him ..."

Feelin' so depressed
You're lookin' so distressed
And all the little girls,
You just want to undress
You're uglier than your high-school principal
You're just feelin' very existential

You were kicked out of the college
Your Daddy couldn't afford
So you went out "On the Road"
In a '67 Ford
Then you went to Europe
You felt like Hemingway
You even loved a woman there
But you found out she was gay

Man, you gonna never get rid of your pimples!
You're just feelin' very existential

"Nothin' is nothin' --
Everyone's a twit!
Gonna tie myself up,
Have a little fit ..."
So grab your granny glasses
Dress all up in black
Find your journal
Read Jack Kerouac

Bed on down through the winter
You're feeling very existential

You'd like to sit on Kirk Douglas's dimple ...
Yeah, you're inside of a Chinese temple ...
And your mind, mind, is so, so ... simple
Standin' outside of a Winchell's
Feelin' very existential

Have you heard anything from Earthworks, Bill Bruford's band?

I think I have one of his albums...somewhere.

Quote
...Osby has augmented a standard quartet (sax/piano/bass/drums) with another standard quartet -- of strings. These he has used as a sort of fifth instrument. They are not a backdrop, nor are they individual soloists. They do play a major role on the session and allow Osby a whole new set of possibilities for his considerable solo skills. Here, I have to own up to ignorance. What I know about string quartets would not hold you up in the street for five minutes. I do know this though. If Osby has ever had an instrumental line-up that suited his playing better, I missed it. He weaves his way around, soars above and jostles alongside the string voice in a burst of sustained creativity you will travel a long way to hear matched.

Sometimes the Quartet carries the central motif, as in the rather Nyman-esque "Repay in Kind", but mostly they have a role equivalent to the pianist Jason Moran's -- joint second-in-command, though without his improvising function. The key factor is that they are, in Osby's words "integrated into the general fabric" and act neither as generic contrast (as happened with Roach) nor as "sweetener" (as happened with nearly everyone else). Whether it is down to the scoring, the arranging, Osby's talent or sheer luck I have no idea, but the result is a more coherent use of this embodiment of European Classical music than has hitherto been the case. Jazz-Classical encounters have tended to be inhibiting affairs, like two groups of guests at a dinner table who can find little in common with each other. Here the dialogue is free-flowing and inspired. ...This is music that takes some exhausting and will , I believe, stand the test of time. It is also downright beautiful and not at all "difficult". The level of performance is exceptional and I have not even praised Osby's other players -- Moran, bassist Scott Colley and drummer Marlon Browden. ...

Oscar Peterson: Historic Carnegie Hall Concerts - Birth of a Legend

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51r86DfO7-L._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Live performances in Carnegie Hall from 1949, 50, 52 & 53.

With Ray Brown, Barney Kessel & Herb Ellis.

Given the recording technologies available at the time it is not surprising that this album does not hold up to modern SQ standards, But the performances are great and give a hint of the great things that were to come from these gentlemen as the years rolled on.

A nice collection of Beethoven Chamber music appropriate for backgrounds of quiet activities like reading.

SQ  sounds decent on my computer speakers at work. If my opinion shifts significantly one way or another when played on the main system I'll post an update.

Cinema Serenade: John Williams/Itzhak Perlman/Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51H9SiA7fpL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

When the Crack House gets donations of CDs and DVDs in bulk holders, like CD wallets, the put two or more discs together in plastic bags and sell them off for cheap as loose discs.  This was packed in a bag with a jazz disc that I wanted so it just came home with me without a thought. Did not recognize the title and never would have picked it up on its own. But as it turns out this is a really nice disc. Nice music and given the personnel I don't think much needs to be said about the performance. All in all a pleasent surprise.  :D

When I looked on amazon to find the cover  jpg I noticed that Philips had put out a whole series of the classical samplers with a theme (Baroque at Bathtime, Bach for Breakfast, Tchaikovsky At Tea Time etc.) Nice for time when you need something to break the silence, but not distract you form something that needs your full attention.

I have never understood why these CBS Half Speed LP command the prices they do on the used market. They are not bad pressing and inmost cases better sounding that their stock counterparts, but given the other companies that were doing audiophile LPs at the time (MFSL, Nautilus, Direct Disc Labs etc.), they are certainly not at the top of the SQ pile. It must just be the artist lineup that they have.

Like they say with cable TV, "Content is King".

That said this is a fun 80s rock album with decent SQ (I also have the 1/2 Speed version.)

I have nothing against the Columbia Half Speed series as records, I am just puzzled as to why they have been given such a "collectable" status.

Great deal!  :mrgreen:

I didn't think PREX would let things like this go for $11.(Although one can always hope :) )

They usually get a good buck for anything that is collectible. I usually skim through the bins and spend most of my time sitting on the floor going through the $2 bins where I find a lot of great music a lot of which is the "wrong pressing" to be collectible, but is still great music and since I buy to listen to, not to look at many times that is just fine with me.

While PREX is a great shop it is definitely a place you go to for their selection, not their prices.


BTW - PREX is my second favorite record store. The most amazing one I have ever been to is Amoeba Records in SF. It fills the entire building of a former bowling alley!  :shock: I got there at about 7:30 PM stayed until closing at 10 and I don't think I got through a quater of the store.  :duh  And they have a location in Hollywood that is even bigger than that.

If you ever make it to the west coast stopping in at one of their stores is a must.  :thumb:

One of Dizzy's great quintet records. The original soundtrack from the movie, music composed by Mal Waldron, with Kenny Barron, Moody, Persip. I've listening to this record since I was young teen, on 8 track back then (an EmArcy reissue compilation,) then a 2 LP version of same through high school. I would play it every morning loud enough to hear while I showered in the other room. Picked up the CD reissue at J&R in NY ~2004.

There are a couple other tunes from this session that were not part of the movie soundtrack, "November Afternoon" and "The Cup Bearers." These tracks are available nowadays on Dizzy's compilation CD called, "Something Old, Something New," and are serious masterpieces in the bop quintet canon.

Ten years for Jason and the Bandwagon, some good vibes has come out during those 10 years...saw them live twice, once at the Vanguard and the other time at the Jazz Standard, tightest trio I have heard in the last decade.
Quote
Ten years later, the trailblazing trio--which Moran has since dubbed The Bandwagon--headed into Avatar Studios in Manhattan to record Ten, the most assured and focused album of Moran's acclaimed career, a snapshot of a mature band with a decade of shared musical experience from which to draw. The album, Moran's first in four years, will be released on EMI's Blue Note Records.

"Ten is our first record that doesn't rely on a concept to drive it. The only concept is us as a band today," says Moran. "As our band has evolved over ten years, there's a certain ease that we now function within, an ease to let the music be. On some of my earlier recordings, I was making sure I exposed my ideas as a thinker. Now we refrain from jumping through every musical window of opportunity, but only jump through the good windows."

Befitting the man who Rolling Stone called "the most provocative thinker in current jazz," Moran draws the material for Ten from a wide variety of sources. "Blue Blocks," which opens the album with a bluesy cascade of chords, comes from Live: Time, a piece commissioned by the Philadelphia Museum of Art that was inspired by the quilters of Gee's Bend, Alabama. The elegiac "Feedback Pt. 2" was part of a piece commissioned by the Monterey Jazz Festival for which Moran drew inspiration from Jimi Hendrix's performance at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival and used samples of the guitarist's feedback.

Ben Webster: Rare Live Performance 1962

(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wLpaECmWMh8/TICxBVxdtHI/AAAAAAAAAzc/nric1pSIxqI/s1600/PICT0088-1.JPG)

Well this is proof that all vinyl is not gold. THe title says 1962, but the it sounds like a 1940s transcription disc. Given the SQ of things being done by Mercury, RCA & Verve in 1962 I fail to understand why this album sounds like an aircheck from a WWII era radio show. I'm sure glad I only pad $1.99 for it.

The Monkees - Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn and Jones Ltd.

(http://pixhost.info/avaxhome/49/30/00143049_medium.jpeg)

Rhino Vinyl Reissue


From avaxhome:
After wresting control of the Monkees from Don Kirschner and recording the very good Headquarters album as a mostly self-contained unit, the band members returned to using studio musicians to augment their sound as well as looking outside the group for the majority of the songs on their fourth album, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. Whatever the reason for the decision, the resulting album is one of their best.

Recording sessions for the album began June 10, 1967 with "Pleasant Valley Sunday" and continued for almost two weeks ending with the recording of "Star Collector" on June 22nd before the band was forced to take a break due to a performance tour. Recording was resumed with a marathon tracking session on August 23rd and a mono mixing session at the Hollywood RCA Studio on September 5th, an overdub session on September 6th, 7th, 9th & 15th and a second mono mixing session on October 4th. The finished LP was released in the USA in November 1967 and a month later in the UK.

Classical Music for Sleep

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Wl30GCAGL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) CD

Dr. Jeffrey Thompson’s clinical research with thousands of patients over the years has led to groundbreaking discoveries in how sound frequency patterns built into musical soundtracks can alter states of consciousness and induce states of mind-body healing. This CD contains specifically selected and sequenced Baroque, Romantic and Classical music composed by Holst, Barber, Mendssohn, Elgar, Chopin and others which provide a safe and natural process proven to lead you to rejuvenating states of deep sleep.

I would comment on the SQ, but I nodded off halfway through the first cut........   #-o

(http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/bb9cf3e56d1df2db55bdc7b9f0189746/685996.jpg)  LP

Much better sound than the Rare Live Performances 1962 album, but still not up to the standards set by Verve. This live album sounds like it was recrded by a single (or stereo pair of mike(s) sitting on a table in the back of the room. nice musical performance, but only fair to good SQ.

The best sound of the 3 Ben Webster albums I bought at PREX this week, but the least musically satisfying.(Gee, how unusual is that?  :roll: ) It is just not Ben Webster music. It us arranged in front of a string section and rather than the tight jazz I have come to expect from him it is more like Ben Webster plays elevator music.  [-(

Very disappointing.  :(

8 bills!!! No thanks. I hope to be spending that much Thursday on a new phono pre.

I've got a few shaded dog pressings, never realized they were something special, probably because they are filthy. Time to run them through the cleaner.

I think I once had the Power of the Orchestra in my hand, and put it down as the title made me think it was a gimmick. Oh well.

Brahms Concerto No. 2: Sviatoslav Richter - Piano, Erich Leinsdorf/Chicago Symphony Orchestra

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/514YzAE0aGL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

A decent records but not up to the level of greatness achieved by other releases in the Living Stereo series.

I had a great experience with Erich Leinsdorf about 20 years ago. I was in Cleveland on business and went one night to see Leinsdorf conduct the Cleveland Symphony. He had just finished the final piece and a woman in about the 5th row of the orchestra jumped up and started heading out to beat the crowd. Leinsdorf stopped taking his bows, quieted the audience and said "Excuse me mam, where do you think you're going? We're not done playing yet. Everyone in the house (save one) burst into laughter and the woman slinked back into her seat where she remained with a grump on until the end of the last encore.

(http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/552e2323aad0b8091ada01a09f25f775/2093718.jpg)

A live to Two-Track Recording from Sheffield Labs.

This album was supposed to be a direct -to-disc followup to the group's first bluegrass release on Sheffield, "Confederation." However during the sessions Lincoln Mayorga and Doug Sax could not get two complete sides that they were happy with from both a musical and a technical standpoint, so the direct to disc project was canceled and this album was put together by piecing together various songs from the tapes run at the same time as the  D2D cuttings.

Stravinsky - Petroushka: Ansermet/L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51yFvQVqG5L._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

180g Vinyl reissue

This one has it all. Great music, great performance, great sound, great pressing.

Once again reminds me why so many Ansermet/OSR recordings remain at the top of my pile.

Stravinsky initially conceived the music for Petrushka as a kind of burlesque combat between the piano and orchestra. The piano was to play the role of the puppet that exasperated the orchestra with its diabolical sequences. The accompanying orchestra was to retaliate in force leading finally to a climax in which the puppet collapses. The music that ultimately emerged elaborated a story of puppets that were actually more human than their puppetmaster ever imagined. Although the primitive rhythms and kaleidoscopic colors initially gave the conductor and ballet troupe difficulty, the work was premiered June 13, 1911. Although Pierre Monteux conducted the premiere, Ernest Ansermet has always been closely associated with Stravinsky's music. He was among Stravinsky's circle of friends in Paris prior to World War I and first played excerpts from Petrushka in Geneva on January 12, 1915. This performance of Stravinsky's Petrushka was recorded at Victoria Hall in Geneva between October and November of 1957. The Decca engineers, led by Roy Wallace, set up a tree with three Neumann KM-56 microphones. The signal was routed through a three-channel vacuum tube mixer, without noise processing or gain riding, to an Ampex stereo vacuum tube recorder.

Swiss record company Joker Tonverlag AG put out a whole series of CD called "The Entertainers" I have about a dozen of them most of which I got from street vendors in NYC. They coversuch artists as Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Harry James, Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald and Elvis Presley. All have excellent sonics and nice musical selections. I have never gotten one from this series that I wasn't happy with. Most people have no idea what they are so the most likely place to find one would be in the dollar bin. They are not easy to come by, but if you ever see one I would suggest picking it up.

Nice find Rich.  :thumb: I pick this up at the library to night and your assessment is right on. This is really a great disc. I didn't know until I read the liner notes that she is a local Long Island girl.

While I was there I found two more of her albums.Never Never Land was released by N_Coded Music one year before Come Dream with Me. It is also a very nice album, both musically and sonically.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31kPDCPkGaL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

The third album is a 2004 Sony release entitled Taking a Chance on Love

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51B95KHNKFL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

While this was also nice from a musical perspective, IMO it fell a little short in the SQ department. I was a bit on the rough side and the vocal peaks sound like they are overloading the mixing board.  :(

Requested that a few more of her alms be sent to my branch on interloan form some other libraries. none of the other albums are from Sony (Concord & Emarcy) so I am hopeful the the SQ is back up to snuff on them.  [-o<

Another nice find from the Crack House. This is a CD I would not have looked at twice, and only picked it up because it was part of a Crack House 69 cent bag and I wanted something else that was in the bag. Turns out to be a really nice album. SQ is not outstanding, but it is good enough so as not to detract from enjoying the music

Alan Bechtold of Digital Online Review said the following:
If Hill Street Blues had been a television show about the Texas Rangers, this album would have been the perfect theme music. It's an album I wanted to dislike, because it's so unlike any music I usually enjoy but I loved it. It's western music, not country. Pure instrumental Americana through and through. In fact, it's such joyful, pure music that anyone of any age could easily tap his or her toes happily to every track. Don't get me wrong--the average headbanger hooked on metal and nothing else won't get any joy from this album. But nearly everyone else will. Peter Elman's kind of stuff you could put on at a cocktail party and never interrupt the chatter while it powers the evening along, almost subliminally.

Quote
Bob Holroyd's music explores the terrain where technological and primeval music intersect. Although realized in a London recording studio, Holroyd's fourth full-length collection, Without Within, features elements of Asian and African cultures flourishing within the rhythms and melodies. One of the tracks, titled "Dreams of Olduvai," evokes the African region holding the earliest evidence of human life. That reference could allude to the appeal of any given Bob Holroyd track, where the digital magic of his recording studio enables the musically articulate Englishman to summon visions of lost worlds. Remarkably, his primordial songs and soundscapes play equally well in dance clubs or in a place like the edge of the Olduvai Gorge echoing both man's earliest musical aspirations and his most recent inventions...http://www.sixdegreesrecords.com/artists.php?artist=Bob_Holroyd (http://www.sixdegreesrecords.com/artists.php?artist=Bob_Holroyd)

A unique experience as far as free improvisation goes...Butch Morris stands alone with his method of "Conduction" in the moment. To catch him doing this live is something else, this is the next best thing.
http://www.amazon.com/Nublu-Orchestra-Conducted-Butch-Morris/dp/B000LPR50M (http://www.amazon.com/Nublu-Orchestra-Conducted-Butch-Morris/dp/B000LPR50M)
Quote
...The Nublu Orchestra is assembled from the multifaceted range of musicians that call Nublu home. Band-members from Brazilian Girls, Wax Poetic, Kudu, Forro in the Dark, I Led Three Lives, and Love Trio and regular Nublu guests Graham Haynes and Eddie Henderson all sit under the baton of Butch Morris, the inventor of Conduction�.

Conduction is Morris� vocabulary of ideographic signs and gestures activated to modify or construct a real-time musical arrangement or composition. An outstretched hand with an upward facing palm is a command to sustain. Fast, forward strikes of the baton are directives to make staccato sounds. There are a number of signals in his conductive language, and each one can be used to instigate or manipulate musicians� harmonies, melodies, rhythms, articulations, phrasings or forms that make up the spontaneous compositions....http://www.nublu.net/artists.php?artist=orchestra&page=bio (http://www.nublu.net/artists.php?artist=orchestra&page=bio)

"Migration is an odyssey through a world imagined by Jean Felix Mailloux. By researching on ancient, Persian, Indian and Armenian music, and modal and improvised music, Jean Felix was able to absorb it to create this universe somewhere in between tradition and modernity, improvisation and written music.

Jane Monheit: Surrender

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Ki43%2B7KML._SL500_AA300_.jpg)  CD

I am posting these two albums together because they both leave me with the same feeling. Both are pushing Jane away from the Jazz world and more towards pop music. This surprises me because both were done for Concord records a label that has its roots firmly in the jazz world. the vocals are nice and the SQ is decent and if I had not heard her previous albums I might even have liked these more than I do. But this is just not the world that I think Monheit should be playing in.She has such great talent as a jazz singer, it seems a waste to have her singing elevator music (strings and all).

Jane Monheit: Home

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51WSOenkRuL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)  CD

It's kind of funny, I worte the last post before going to amazon to get the pic for this one and finding the following quotes:

From the Artist:

"I wanted to return "Home" to doing what I love best," says Jane, "Getting back to my roots. For me, there's nothing like singing a jazz standard and giving it new life through one's own interpretation; bringing it to a new audience in a whole new and different light."

Product Description:

Los Angeles, California. "Home," Jane Monheit's eagerly anticipated new CD, is set for release by Emarcy/Universal Records on September 21st, 2010. An ode to the golden age of the jazz standard - the genre which Jane identifies with most - "Home" celebrates the treasured tracks of songwriters and lyricists past and present whom Monheit greatly admires including Rodgers and Hart and Schwartz & Dietz. A sumptuously sung passionate song cycle of 12 tunes self-produced by the modern-day jazz diva, "Home" is Monheit's tenth CD and will be accompanied by a world tour beginning in the Fall. Accompanying Monheit on "Home" are long-time Monheit band-members Michael Kanan (piano), Neal Miner on bass and Rick Montalbano on drums, who were joined on the CD by guest artists John Pizzarelli (vocals and guitar), Peter Eldridge (vocals), Frank Vignola (guitar), Joe Magnarelli (trumpet and flugelhorn), Mark O'Connor (violin) and Larry Goldings (piano).

It looks like I was not the only one who felt the pop world wasn't really the place for her. This album, her first for Emarcy Records plants both her feet squarely back in the jazz world where she belongs. Just some real kick-@ss small combo jazz. I think it is her best effort to date.

And you gotta love the Nassau library system. Among all the member libraries they have every one of her albums.  :thumb:

But it was recorded, and remastered, by Rudy Van Gelder.  I'm sure the performance is excellent if you can get past the what the engineer did to it, not once, but twice.


Here's a nice article reviewing the remastered "RVG" series.

I have probably a dozen Brian Auger albums, including Befour.  They sit quietly, patiently awaiting their time on the table, which rarely ever comes.  When the time finally does come, I am constantly surprised by the  complex, interesting, melodic and fresh sounds that emit from my speakers.

Richidoo - It's a very good album. It's one of a bunch of CDs I bought a month ago and really haven't listened to yet. So I listened to it yesterday morning, liked it so much that I put it on again while watching the UCONN-SYRACUSE game. I also have to track down copies of 'Candy' and 'The Cooker' it seems.

Later today I have 'Delightfulee' to listen to while I play with speaker xovers.

Thanks Gene, I'll check it out.  Enjoy "Delightfulee!"

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41%2Bt2MO11PL._SS400_.jpg)

The Delightfulee album cover shows his trumpet with a french cup mouthpiece, rather than the german bowl type that almost everyone else used (Bach.) I was already using that type of mouthpiece first time I saw that picture, and was being persecuted for it, so it made me feel good to see him using it too. His teacher Clifford used a big bach german bowl mouthpiece, but I think Lee's time in Dizzy's big band influenced the change.  Classical squares freak when they see the Jet-Tone exterior mouthpiece shape, so I had one made inside a Bach blank to use in high school auditions. Then they said "excellent tone."  :rofl:

http://www.discogs.com/Maynard-Ferguson-Stratospheric/release/1422021

My favorite Maynard record of all time. At the peak of his powers, not encumbered by big band duties. Small bands, from the 50s, arrangements by Bill Holman, along with a few Holman originals. I've never seen this on CD. I also have the Clifford Brown version of this Emarcy reissue series. Mastering is better than the resissue CDs, some of which were taken from LPs. There is a Dizzy Gillespie volume also, which I listened to a lot in HS, but it walked.

The mastering and music quality on these EmArcy Jazz Series double album sets is excellent. I have seen other artists volumes in the bins over the years, but can't remember who.

EDIT:  I started playing this when it was released in 76, on a ceramic cartridge all in one player set to auto repeat for hours at a time, the treble response is ruined. But I just found a (supposedly) mint version on EBay and snagged it. It will be really fun to hear this with good sound quality again.

Dave Brubeck Quartet - At a Perfume Counter on 12" LP

Also available on CD compilation "Stardust"

This one track is 15 minutes long, first released on Fantasy 10" record in early 50s, with Frenesi on the flip side. That's pretty amazing for 1953, a 15 minute track. Intellectual jazz concert listening was really kicking in then, no more jazz dancing, kids wanted long virtuosic and innovative jazz solos. They put Brubeck on the cover of Time mag. Mine is 1960s 12" reissue with some Cal Tjader stuff on the other side. Given to me by one of the screaming party girls in the background of Lionel Richie's "All Night Long" song. She found it dirt cheap in a used record shop in Hollywood, CA back in 1988, knew I loved Brubeck. Every record has a story!

The discs are labelled funny. One disc has sides 1 and 4, the other has sides 2 and 3.  :-|

Actually not funny at all.This was a pretty standard way of issuing 2 LP sets back in the 60s. The sides are laid out this way so they can easily be played on a stacked record changer.

(http://static.pascal-gienger.de/pgienger/w250k.jpg)

Side one would play and then the changer would drop the second  LP and play side two. You would then flip over the stack and play sides three and four the same way. There were also similar patterns for LP sets with higher numbers of records such that the whole set could be placed in a stack  and the sides would automatically be played with the user only having to get up once the flip over the stack and start the changer again.

Damn I feel old explaining this. I wish I could say that I just know this from reading about it, but my first turntable (bought from profits from my paper route) was a Model 42M Garrard changer.

(http://www.oaktreevintage.com/web_photos/Stereo_Turntables_CD/Garrard_42M_Stereo_Stacker_Changer_Table_collage.jpg)

It is kind of funny looking back that I somehow found a short single LP spindle and replaced the taller automatic dropping spindle because I was afraid that dropping a record on top of another already spinning record might possibly cause damage to one or both of them. Holy cr@p, I didn't realize it, but Nervosa was nipping at my heels all the way back to my preteen years. :shock:

Post by: richidoo on March 13, 2011, 04:29:41 AM
Thanks Tom, that makes sense! Don't feel too old, I had a couple of those changer spindles too.   The best part of the auto changers was the stablizing arm that holds the loaded disks would make the arm repeat a disk over and over if you left it up and unused. If it was used and fallen down then the needle would park. That's how I wore out all my records, playing one side over and over. Maybe that's why I like Sonos so much, it never stops playing music!

Today I received the new (used) copy of the Maynard Ferguson's "Stratospheric" 2LP record from a great seller on EBay. It looks nice and clean, stamped with Demo on the front, and an original insert has the full list of reissues on this series.  It probably came from a radio station library.

The new copy sounds much better overall. The dynamic range is improved, much more background detail, especially in Maynard's articulation and the band's instruments tone. But some of the problems remain, now I know they are mastering or recording mistakes. Too bad these were never brought to CD. But the Clifford Brown LP that I have from this set was cut from master tapes, while the later CD versions of same tracks from Japan were dubbed from LP.

Maynard's intense trumpet tone brings out the evil in my current midfi speakers, Infinity Entra 1. Time to get cooking on the next speaker build!

I put plenty back, like the $100 Kind of Blue, the $30 Leeway, and there once was a $100 Coltrane that Pman pried out of my hands and put back.

He puts back plenty, though mostly 50 centers, and for obvious reasons.

He puts back plenty, though mostly 50 centers, and for obvious reasons.

1) I had to check the archives to see if the MF Conquistador album was the one I was thinking of.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51qCrn8imoL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

My answer would be that whether or not you should have taken it would  depend on what the asking price was. I picked it up a few months ago out of a dollar bin somewhere. I thought it was OK, but nothing to go crazy over. I remember thinking that it was a little too polished and commercial for my taste. That said, if you follow the below listed Amazon link you will find quite a few rave reviews for the album (FYI - you can also pick up a new CD of it on Amazon for less than $3.)

2) I agree about putting back a $100 Kind of Blue album.  Although I would never have had to put it back, because after seeing the $100 I never would have picked it up in the first place.  :roll: (I don't mind dropping $100 in a record store, but for that kind of money I would much rather come out with a pile of records as opposed to a single "collectible" LP. My wife often asks me upon returning from a record store if i left anything behind for the other customers.  :rofl: ) Not that I have anything against anyone who would buy the collectible, it just doesn't fit in with my own way of thinking. To each his own.

3) Tossing aside a beat up LP from the 50 cent bin doesn't count as putting one back, it us just throwing out the trash.  :lol:

I have 4 different pressings of this album (a Shaded Dog LP, the RCA half-speed matered LP, the SACD Hybrid and the unshaded dog that I just picked up. But since the last one was really for my son's collection and not mine I guess you got me by one. (http://yoursmiles.org/tsmile/tears/t2307.gif)

Isn't that weird? I'd like to find a listing of all the RCA plants and what was printed there and when, that would be interesting, (ok, it would be anal, I'll cop to that).

I guess the book the guy on the link I provided speaks to does just that.

Just washed a copy of Debussey's La Mer last night, got it this past Wed. at the house o'crack, great dynamics. It's a stereo RCA album with a pink label, I can't find pink labels discussed anywhere?

Fantastic rhythm section, Sam Jones, Art Taylor, Dick Katz, with J. R. Montrose, 1956

EDIT: The last track on this Tahitian Suite (aka "Monaco" on other sides) has some of the best KD playing I have on record, pure power and balls, total melodic freedom. This recording is a month before the famous Cafe Bohemia recording with near same band, and 2 months before Clifford's death. KD would put this new fantastic band on hold to sub for Brownie, where he made some of his best recordings with Max. What an incredible genius.

What a great opportunity to see musicians of that caliber play in an up close and personal venue like a school auditorium.  Unfortunately the event was wasted on 98% of this kids in the audience who were probably pissed off that they were being forced to sit listen to some old due that wasn't playing Disco.  :(

But for those who understood and appreciated what was going on, something like that turns into a lifetime memory.

The hall only seats 1000 so it was full of eager listeners. It was not a school function, but a promotor event with tickets selling for rather expensive price, iirc. They packed a full blast rock show on the stage with lights and everything. His book in 1977 was mostly disco and electric jazz. They released 3-4 records in that one year, Columbia thought Maynard was their jazz crossover ticket. The junior high was the biggest and nicest hall in our town, probably in any of the surrounding towns, but I still look back and think holy shit! Maynard came to my school at the peak of his power and popularity.   Gotta dig out some of those old records later...

Fiddler on the Roof - Original 1964 Broadway Cast

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51TMKu9wsDL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

The very first Broadway play I ever saw, although it was a later cast with Herschel Bernardi  replacing Zero Mostel as Tevye. (OK, come on, who remembers Herschel Benardi in the early 70s CBS sitcom Arnie?)

Damn, was just about 2 put on the second of 2 Lockjaw Davis albums I picked up at Joe's Record Express, but had to shut down electronics due to t-storm right overhead.

So it's the Larry Miller podcast on my Zune instead while I surf on my laptop with all connections removed.

Thanks.  I really love a lot of those London ffrr and ffss records.  The performances are excellent and the sound quality is really top shelf.

Here's an original Command Classics pressing I am listening to right now.  Truely amazing.

This record was issued in 1967, which is just about when the decline in vinyl quality began.  You can tell there was a changing of the guard on these newer London ffrr pressings.  The vinyl was a little thinner than earlier records, but the sound was still great.  And this particular example has excellent sound.  Other cost-cutting changes would be ditching gatefold laminated jackets and using standard jackets on heavy paper stock (not laminated).  On the cover, photos of the musicians were common instead of original artwork.  Still, these late 1960s London pressings can be real nice finds and usually can be had on the cheap.  I paid 75 cents for this one.

"New York Dreaming" Didjworks | Format: Audio CD

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/519pN%2BEiBuL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) (http://www.amazon.com/New-York-Dreaming-Didjworks/dp/B000HA3POG/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1301010129&sr=8-7)

Cool new-age type music with the use of a very interesting aboriginal musical instrument.

I have seen him in Penn Station as well. The instrument is called a Didjeridoo. Further info in it here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Didjeridoo

There are quite a few very talented musicians currently playing the “MTA Circuit”.

I try to support them in their musical pusuits by buying CDs from the ones that are musically interesting to me.

A few of my favorites:

Lorenzo LaRoc plays a Jazz/Pop electric violin. In addition to being  an excellent musician, he is also quite an entertainer. Just last  Sat night I saw him win the $25K first prize on one of those American Idol clone TV shows.
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21BKTJRAF9L._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Dorian Spenser is a Folk/Rock type singer kind of along the line of Eric Bibb
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61-Bjw8aeNL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Yasuyuki Takagi plays a nice jazz sax usually with a small combo.

(http://www.shinyamiyamoto.com/images/cdexamples/tm_Yaz%20-%20Yaz.jpg)

Lorenzo, Dorian and Yaz all have CDs that you can obtain through Amazon, but I think the favorite of my “Subway CDs” is from a young man by the way of Jason Green who play a great hollow body jazz guitar. Unfortunately, his CDs are private issue CD-Rs that as far as I know can only be purchased at one of his performances

Thanks Tom, I knew it was a Didjeridoo, not entirely sure why I didn't use the name of the instrument, I guess I was just trying to give an idea of the general feel for the music rather than being specific.

Thanks for the intro to the other musicians, the cultural exposure is one of the things I miss about commuting into NYC for work every day...

I have that same set.  The performances are superb and sound quality is pretty good.  Just set the proper expectations since it is a later DG pressing and as such the quality of the vinyl isn't all that great.  But it's hard to complain for $1.  I bought mine for $10 and felt it was a fair deal.

You are not the only one who does this. I have Ansermet SRO and Reiner CSO recordings of both Pictures at an Exhibition and Scheherazade. It is not unusual for me to play the two performances back to back. Each conductor puts his own spin and flavor on the piece. To me it's one of the more interesting aspects of classical music, how the different interpretations can change the feel of the piece.

My favorite Maynard record of all time. At the peak of his powers, not encumbered by big band duties. Small bands, from the 50s, arrangements by Bill Holman, along with a few Holman originals. I've never seen this on CD. I also have the Clifford Brown version of this Emarcy reissue series. Mastering is better than the resissue CDs, some of which were taken from LPs. There is a Dizzy Gillespie volume also, which I listened to a lot in HS, but it walked.

The mastering and music quality on these EmArcy Jazz Series double album sets is excellent. I have seen other artists volumes in the bins over the years, but can't remember who.

EDIT:  I started playing this when it was released in 76, on a ceramic cartridge all in one player set to auto repeat for hours at a time, the treble response is ruined. But I just found a (supposedly) mint version on EBay and snagged it. It will be really fun to hear this with good sound quality again.

Rich, thanks for the heads up on this one. I was up visiting my mother in Amherst, MA yesterday and of course had to stop into the local used record shop before departing for home (Amherst is a big college town so there is usually lots of good stuff to be found in their record stores). Walked intot he sore and in the very first browser I stated thumbing through I came across this album.  :drool: A lot of the stuff in this store is in kind of rough condition, but in this case both LPs and the cover were in mint shape. All they wanted for is was $4.  :D

Listened to it when I got home. Nice sound, nice performance. Nice find. 8)

I just finished watching and listening to Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker in a performance of Brahms Symphony No. 3 via their Digitial Concert Hall.  I subscribe to the service.  It isn't exactly cheap at ~ $40 for a one month or $200 for a one year subscription, but you get access to a lot of outstanding music for the money.  There are currently 86 concerts available in the archive and your subscription also gives you access to a number of live events.

The quality is pretty good overall.  If you have enough bandwidth you can stream video at up to 720P HDTV, which looks great on the 67" DLP HDTV in my living room, and audio comes in at 320kbps mp3.  I use a laptop computer as a player on my wireless home network.  The audio won't compete with my main setup obviously, but it is quite good for viewing and listening on a home theater rig.

We pick the Tim Curry out of the dollar bin @ PREX because back in college my friends and I spent many a Friday night at midnight showings of Rocky Horror at the Mini Cinema in Uniondale. (Never in costume, but we did know all the lines and brought a bag of "props" to each show.  :D ) The music turned out to be some non-descript 70s rock,, But I wanted to hear what Tim ended up doing post Frank-N-futer.

My favorite Jazz Samba pressing is also a Japanese Verve that I pick up at a record show years ago (although I have not heard any of the new 180g reissues first hand). This copy was an American Verve that I pick up recently at the Crack House for my son as I felt it was an important album for him to have in his collection (And what the heck, it was only 53 cents.....)

Hey Tom - what a blast, from my Big Fun past. Thanks for reminding me. I saw Tim & band on tour for this album at the Old Waldorf over in SF, a smallish sit-down club in the Financial District. Absolutely riveting show - Curry was the penultimate performer and while he didn't have the crack band from the album that night, he didn't NEED them as he was a force of nature.

My desert-isle Ten includes Curry's first album "Read My Lips". What a recording, ALL great songs with a ton of diversity. Bob Ezrin did a bang-up job on the production and it was a show piece on my old Conrad-Johnson bi-amped Acoustats. It's a freakin' CRIME that "Read My Lips" and the rest have never been released in remastered digital format. Me, being me, sold off all my vinyl back in '82, probably to finance a three-day & night bacchanal! - String

I just got the cd version of Lockjaw Davis' "Cookbook" cuz the lp I bought last month is kinda banged up, but I love what I hear. So, sitting in an empty 100 year old mansion babysitting a paint crew listing to "In the Kitchen" on my Zune.

After seeing that $3600 LP sale on ebay I decided to search on Hank Mobley in the Nassau Library System Inter-loan data base Found 4 CDs of his at various libraries around the County and had them sent over to me (Your tax dollars at work  :D).  Small combo acoustic jazz (My favorite type.) Nicely recorded on Blue Note.

I was playing one of the CDs last night and my son came downstairs and said "That's really nice Dad. What is it?"

Here is the last of the library batch:

This is my favorite Miles album from the Wayne Shorter era. It has a lot of up tempo solid blowing, strong bop melodies, very sophisticated harmonies, very strong Shorter influence. I like Blakey's records best with Shorter as music director also. I like Shorter's records but not as much as when he was with these two creative dynamos.

Just received this from Amazon today.  I just finished listening to the 4th Symphony.  As expected it's a something of a stormy ride, which suits my preferences quite well, though the mid 1st movement waltz doesn't come off quite as lyrical as it really should.  The tempi seem a bit on the brisk side to me, but not too fast by any stretch.  Not the best 4th in my view (that distinction is held by Bernstein and the NPO), but a damn fine one overall.

Glad you liked it.  Mosaic is my favorite specailty jazz reissue label.

Here are a few recent acquisitions (the Mingus set is not from Mosaic)...

(http://www.indierockfan.net/pics/MosaicBoxedSets.jpg)

That Ellington set has been a long time coming.  Pretty much everything that Duke put out on Columbia and Brunswick from 1932 to 1940.  If you're into jazz from that period it doesn't get any better.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51WKwN2CuPL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) CD

Eugene Ysaye: Six Sonatas for Solo Violin' OP. 27

This disc didn't really grab me. First off I listened to it right after the Julia Fischer Paganini disc so it had a really tough standard to live up to on both a musical and a performance basis and secondly, I am not a big fan of 20th Century Classical to begin with. While I liked this better than most 20th Century, IMO it was a bit of a letdown after the Fischer disc and rated a "just OK" in my book.

When I saw this in the library I thought "this could be interesting, a jazz combo consisting of guitar, viola and drums." So I gave it a try. As it turns out the music pushes a little to much towards Avant Garde for my taste. Someone who is more into that type of jazz would probably like this a lot. It is just not my cup of tea.

Just to throw a little gas on the fire......

One of my favorite performances of the Emperor is on a CD called "Entangled Devotions" which was put out by PopeMusic in 1995. It features Mark Gorenstein conducting the Russian Symphony Orchestra and Nuam Starkman on Piano. Not only is it a great Emperor, I think it was the best of the symphonic releases put out by PopeMusic.

Yep.  I have the Van Cliburn version too and I give it a slight edge for performance.  I also prefer the CSO over the VPO.  However, the Curzon reading is terrific, and it has much better sound than the Van Cliburn recording.  Not all of the RCA Victor three track masters were in the best possible sound.  London Records was a subsidiary of Decca, and recordings on the London label were laid down by Decca's legendary sound engineers and it really shows.

I really doubt there is that much of a difference between 200g and 180g, other than the 180g records had a lower defect rate than the 200g LPs.  I have a number of Classic Records 45RPM pressings (not of Kind of Blue, but several others) and they are nice if you are lucky enough to get one without pressing defects -- which was my greatest pet peeve with Classic Records.

It just so happens that I have a spare 200g pressing of Kind of Blue that you could shake loose from me if you like.  As I recall it had a couple of mild ticks before the last track on the B side, and being the total AR audiophile that I am I just had to have a perfect copy and bought another one.  If you're interested I could play it and give you a more accurate report.

Since I have not played this album in a long while I gave it a good cleaning on my VPI RCM.

Side 1 plays cleanly.  On side two there is one very light crackle about a minute into All Blues. There are a few pops and a light crackle at the beginning of Flamenco Sketches.  It's a very nice sounding record overall, but as I said I really expect and demand perfection with these expensive audiophile vinyl reissues.

It plays better than I remembered it.  This is the 3rd time the record has been played.  I really pamper my vinyl.

For reference I am using a Ortofon Jubilee MC cartridge with boron cantilever and nude shibata stylus.

Let me know if you're interested.  Since it sounded better than I thought it would I'll have to ask for more than I originally had in mind.  Let's see....if you ask me nicely for it and agree to cover the cost of mailing it then that probably will be enough.

Listening to the dvd side, and it's good. But I wonder if the SACD version would be better, anyone have the SACD of this and want to comment?





Get the Classic Records 200g LP reissue. Game, set, match.  :thumb:

(Unless of course you can get your hands on one of the Classic 4 disc 45 RPM sets for less than a months mortgage payment  :duh  - they have become very hard to find a quite pricey when you do find one)

FYI -
The 180g version from classic came out before the 200g version and has been out of print longer. I have heard comments go back and forth both ways as to which one is better.

I was on the Acoustic Sounds web site last night saw that there was just another 180g vinyl version released on the Legacy label. I have not heard anything about it other than what I saw on that page so I can't comment on the SQ. I's sure if we keep our eyes open someone will be reviewing it soon.

Since I have not played this album in a long while I gave it a good cleaning on my VPI RCM.

Side 1 plays cleanly.  On side two there is one very light crackle about a minute into All Blues. There are a few pops and a light crackle at the beginning of Flamenco Sketches.  It's a very nice sounding record overall, but as I said I really expect and demand perfection with these expensive audiophile vinyl reissues.

It plays better than I remembered it.  This is the 3rd time the record has been played.  I really pamper my vinyl.

For reference I am using a Ortofon Jubilee MC cartridge with boron cantilever and nude shibata stylus.

Let me know if you're interested.  Since it sounded better than I thought it would I'll have to ask for more than I originally had in mind.  Let's see....if you ask me nicely for it and agree to cover the cost of mailing it then that probably will be enough.

The 30th Anniversary SACD is IMHO by far the best digital release of DSOTM to date  I have yet to hear the SACD layer on a good player. I use a Denon universal player as a transport and as such the audio output section is not really too 'High End" in performance. I have yet to find a dual layer SACD where the CD layer played via my DAC did not sound better than the SACD layer player though the audio outputs of the Denon. Given what it would cost me to buy a good high end SACD player and the amount SACD software that is out there, it just never seemed worth it to me to make the investment. I have the ability to play a single layer SACD if I have to and that is all I really feel I need at this time. But I digress....

Even just played at the Red Book CD level I think the SACD is the definitive digital version and well worth owning for the CD layer alone. In the same way I think the 30th Anniversary vinyl release bests any other Dark Side LP I have heard (although I have never heard the MoFi UHQR first hand, but I have been told that it is similar in character to the standard MoFi release.) If you don't have a copy of this latest LP release, get one while you still can. :thumb:

I don't remember MoFi ever doing a vinyl release of The Wall (although they did do a gold CD pressing). The only "audiophile" LP release that I remember is the Columbia Half Speed, which is very tough to find and pulls down some big bucks when you do see one.

I was kind of hoping that they would do a 30th Anniversary remastering of The Wall the way they did for DSOTM, but I have not heard anything through the grapevine on it.  :( Just the 30th Annv. concert tour (which was amazing  :thumb:). Perhaps we will see a tour album or video once it is over. (The tour is working its way through Europe right now and wraps up on July 7th.)

My humble city, Columbia, SC is trying mightily to become more arts friendly. Thursday night, it held an "Urban Walk" on Main St and featured about 20 different local bands and musicians along with food, street performers and "open houses" at the local businesses.

One of the best musical performances was a very quiet version of "Wish You Were Here," by a young male tenor/acoustic guitarist accompanied by a cellist.  It was haunting and beautiful...kind of how I imagine Gilmour and Waters would have wanted it to sound if they weren't saddled with having to sound like "Pink Floyd."

Bummer, I would have like to hear an MFSL LP of The Wall. I was never a big fan of the Columbia Half Speed series. They get big bucks for them on the used market today, basically because of the artists involved, but from a SQ basis I never felt they were up to snuff when compared the the other companies doing audiophile reissues.

I have seen quite a few ads for the Greek LP, but have never heard one. Are the sound and/or vinyl quality significantly better than your everyday copy? Put another do you think it is worth going out of our way to find one or would we be just as well off looking for a really good condition domestic Columbia pressing? It is hard to know from just looking at ads what copies are worth more money for sonic reasons vs. what is expensive simply because it is "collectable" for some reason (and may very well sound like cr@p, like picture discs for example.)

Jerome I got a good laugh out of this post. We are a strange bunch , aren't we? $1k for the Rubenstein collection was a bargin, but going from $25 to $35 for a Chet Baker LP makes it pricey????

Notice I said "We", because I do the same thing.  I  can't tell you how many times I have made a similar type of comment only the think as soon as I finished  "WTF did I just say?"

We may be crazy, (my wife will second that motion), but at least we're happy inside our own little world.  :rofl:

Lol!  Value judgements are relative to your frame of reference.  Usually for me it comes down to how badly do I want something, taking into consideration the scarcity of the thing and the demand for it.  So yeah, $25 for a 180g Chet Baker reissue that is plentiful and still in print is a bit pricey in my estimation (especially seeing that they are pressed at RTI, which is not my favorite record manufacturer by a long shot). 

On the other hand, the Rubinstein set has been out of print for 10 years, and is a limited production run of 200.  There probably won't ever be another set like this made, at least in my lifetime.  On rare occasions when they do come up for sale they usually sell quickly, and for a lot more than I paid for mine.  So while the grand I paid for the Rubinstein Collection seems like a lot (which I agree that it is), I was actually prepared to go considerably higher on it.  But it suits me just fine that I didn't have to.

And yes, my wife thinks I'm off my rocker too.  And well....she's right!  :rofl:

Some thousand-dollar Rubinstein to sooth my soul.  This Brahms Piano Concerto No. 2 performance was taken from a 1971 recording with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra.  This is a stately, toned down reading of the piece, which was fairly common of Rubinstein in the twilight of his recording career.  After all he was 84 when this recording was made.    Don't get me wrong because it's a nice listen and sounds great, but it can't compete with the fire that Rubinstein played with on the three prior recordings he made of this work.

I very much like this performance and recording of The Ring.  I'm not going through all 22 LPs at the moment, just listening to my favorite Wagner opera: Die Walküre.  I also have the Solti cycle.  If anyone would care to recommend another Ring cyle on vinyl that would be great.  You can't have too much Wagner.  8)

Luckily in the time and space continuum of my life, the CD was introduced and the resulting bi dumping of LP collections happened BC (before children) when I had both the time and the disposable income to comb the garage sales and record shows and pick up a large amount of these type of great LPs for some very reasonable prices.  :D

This is really cool. I Googled the stock number for this album hopingn t find when it ws recorded and wha came up was a .pdf copy of the 12/15/58 issue of Billbord (Ad for this record on pg 55.) It isw really interesting looking back on what was on the minds of the music industry back when these records were current releases. A really fun read.

Virgil Fox...Organist at Symphony Hall, Boston

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41glAL81eUL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

After listening to you guys talk about Command  releases over the past week or so I figured I should check through the archives and see if I had picked anything up on this label over the years. I came across this Virgil Fox LP and gave it a whirl. Well, it is by Virgil Fox so the quality of the music and the performance is pretty much a given, but I was very taken back by the high level of SQ on this disc. I'm not sure how much of it is attributable to the new Blackbird cartridge (which continues to amaze me with how much good sound it is able to mine from LPs that I previously thought were just fair) and how much was just the fact that I was asleep at the switch and never really gave them a good listen, but based on this LP, I am now going to have to ad Command to the list of things I search out at the Crack House. (Like the list wasn't long enough already  :roll: :rofl:)

Thanks for opening my eyes on this one.  :thumb:

The past 2-3 weeks I have been busy experimenting with a variety of tweaks, isolation, IC's...the changer has seen much use every day. Couple weeks ago I loaded it up with 5 vocalists from various musical genres, jazz, indie/pop, folk/country/ classical...
Fast forward to now and this is the one that remains in rotation...
Fay Victor, lazy old sun
(http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/9a/f2/71c29833e7a03bf071cc3110.L._SL500_AA300_.jpg)
http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/fayvictor3 (http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/fayvictor3)
I caught her live last year, and her performance cemented my appreciation of her work. Fay is certainly a continuation of the line of the great jazz vocalists that has gone before...Billie, Carmen, Abbey...
Quote
...What is especially trenchant here is that each song occupies its own musical universe. Even though there are only five performers, the instrumentation and texture of each tune is different. In many ways, Victor and her fellow musicians are performing jazz chamber music. This is not just a quintet running through the same standards in one basic format. While this CD may be too cerebral for some and not to everyone's taste, Fay Victor is a gifted musician, possessed of flawless intonation, musical imagination, and inventive phrasing—and for those reasons, this album deserves a first, a second, and a third listening...http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=17208 (http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=17208)
It is not often for me to listen to one cd every day for two weeks...but this one just captivates a musical spirit I find satisfying every time I hear it...Just love the sound of that trombone.
I got two of her recordings and will be looking to purchase the other 6 or 7 that are available, most were done in Europe over the years she lived in Amsterdam.

Some of the other vocalists that came and went...Sheryl Crow, Detours...
Rachael Yamagata, happenstance (like this too)...
Garrison Starr, the sound of you & me...
Carre Rodriguez, she ain't me...
Holly Cole, shade(this grew on me)...
VAS, in the garden of souls...
Mahler, Das Lied von der Erde. Karen Cargill, mezzo soprano.
etc. etc.  :lol:

Add another one to the mix. This one by Ansermet and the Suisse Romande

(http://www.s-cnet.ne.jp/~scn01631/PIC002971.jpg)

As a big Ansermet fan I found this LP to be somewhat of a letdown. Not particularly bad, but certainly not up to the standards I am used to hearing out of Ansermet and the London FFRR recordings.

Oh well, you can't win them all.  :(

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/416I-ARttVL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

I ordered this on a 180g LP reissue from Amazon about a month ago and it never showed up. Contacted Amazon about it and their answer was to just refund my money (which, to their credit,  they did do promptly).

But I didn't want my money back, I wanted the LP. Oh well, I will just have to place a new order for it.

In the meantime I will have to settle for listening to my stock WB pressing. Bummer  :(

What am I listening to right now? Nothing, as we have been experiencing heavy thunderstorm for most of the night and as a safety precaution I had to pull all the plugs from my system to avoid any possible power surge damage as we are right in the middle of the storm track and are right now getting quite a lightning show.

The sounds of silence...literally.  :(

This was on the TT when the storm hit and I had to shut everything down. I had listened to about the first 10 minutes of Sym.No.1 and thought it sounded rather good, back to the typical Ansermet sound.

Beethoven: Symphonies Nos 1 & 8 - Ansermet and the Suisse Romande.

After listening to you guys talk about Command  releases over the past week or so I figured I should check through the archives and see if I had picked anything up on this label over the years. I came across this Virgil Fox LP and gave it a whirl. Well, it is by Virgil Fox so the quality of the music and the performance is pretty much a given, but I was very taken back by the high level of SQ on this disc. I'm not sure how much of it is attributable to the new Blackbird cartridge (which continues to amaze me with how much good sound it is able to mine from LPs that I previously thought were just fair) and how much was just the fact that I was asleep at the switch and never really gave them a good listen, but based on this LP, I am now going to have to ad Command to the list of things I search out at the Crack House. (Like the list wasn't long enough already  :roll: :rofl:)

Thanks for opening my eyes on this one.  :thumb:

Be aware that Command Records experienced a number of changes (declines) in the quality of its vinyl pressings over the years.  The label was originally launched exclusively as an audiophile label by Enoch Light in the late 1950s under Grand Award Records.  In 1966 the Command label was sold to ABC Records.  Records pressed prior to that were on very heavy vinyl and came in gatefold jackets with textured backs.  The records usually featured a gold colored label but some were also grey.  Later records used white labels, no longer came in gatefolds, and were pressed on thinner vinyl (to reduce costs).  Having listened to both original first pressings and later pressings of several titles there is no question in my mind that the earlier pressings are sonically superior.    

(http://www.indierockfan.net/pics/Command_Classics_Labels.jpg)

The image on the bottom is from an original 1965 Command Classics pressing of Beethoven Symphony No. 5.  The one on the top was pressed in 1972.  The Command label under ABC Records was still issuing new classical music releases, so some records will have white labels with the multi-colored box and be first pressings.

The later pressings can still sound good, but they are not the equal of Command Classics vinyl pressed between 1959 and 1965.  As far as sound quality goes, those early Command Classics records are easily on par with what was coming from Decca and London at that time, and that's saying a lot.

I agree about the sound quality.  I regret not snagging the Classic Records reissue on 45 rpm vinyl while it was in print.  You can still find them on eBay, but at about $200 no thank you.  For less than that I just bought 30 minty vintage DG, Columbia 6 Eye, EMI, and RCA Red Seal records.

I think RCA/BMG did a pretty good job of cherry picking the best Living Stereo recordings for release on SACD.  Not all of the Living Stereo recordings had great sound, but the titles that made it to SACD were excellent.  I don't know how many were released on SACD, but I have 35 of them.  And at $10 to $12 each they are an excellent value as well.

Much Thanks!

Just listened to this start to finish, it's superb!  :clap:

I seem to recall there was an issue with this album being mastered at wrong speed, that was addressed with later reissues such as this.

Whatever, I just spent the last 40+ minutes lost in the music, was it this recording having the proper speed, the fact the Mullard tubes in my phono-pre have broken in, the WyWires I'm auditioning have finally settled down, a combo of all these, I don't know. Maybe the fact I had gotten tired of the 'forced listening' I had been doing trying to evaluate new tubes, ICs and PCs had soured me on listening to just the music - and taking 4 days off let me 'reboot' my auditory senses. Whatever it was, I just had one of the most enjoyable listening sessions I've experienced in some time.

Yes, there's a few pops at start of final song, but it's not a showstopper for me.

Just missed a 200gr version, there is a 180 gram version - is there an appreciable difference?

I really doubt there is that much of a difference between 200g and 180g, other than the 180g records had a lower defect rate than the 200g LPs.  I have a number of Classic Records 45RPM pressings (not of Kind of Blue, but several others) and they are nice if you are lucky enough to get one without pressing defects -- which was my greatest pet peeve with Classic Records.

It just so happens that I have a spare 200g pressing of Kind of Blue that you could shake loose from me if you like.  As I recall it had a couple of mild ticks before the last track on the B side, and being the total AR audiophile that I am I just had to have a perfect copy and bought another one.  If you're interested I could play it and give you a more accurate report.

I'm delighted that you enjoyed the record.  That's what it's all about.

And your recollection is correct.  On side one of the original release the pitch is off.  I have an original Columbia 6 Eye pressing of Kind of Blue.  I also used to have a Columbia 4-track 1/4" tape of it as well, but last year I decided to unload my open reel tape deck and sold off all my tapes, including KOB.

Ahhh - so it was just side one of KoB that was out of pitch. I wonder if that's true of the DualDisk version I have?

Nice to see this in the article, while listing the equipment used in the mastering session that - "Tim de Paravicini analog equipment" was used. I have the EAR 834P phono pre he designed, and as the tubes break in, I'm enjoying it more and more. Of course, it's forcing me to seriously consider replacing my 30 year old Denon tt with something newer.

I see Amazon has new copies of the paperback version of "Kind of Blue: The Making of the Miles Davis Masterpiece" for less than $3, guess I'll order one for all the flying I'll be doing in the future.

I'd love the oppurtunity to listen to the original tapes from '59, guess that's a 'bucket list' item.

JOE LOVANO formed a new band that he calls US FIVE to record Folk Art, his 22nd effort for Blue Note. In the liberated spirit of 1960s avante-garde and 1970s loft scenes -- featuring rising stars Esperanza Spalding on bass, Francisco Mela and Otis Brown III on drums and percussion, and James Weidman on piano -- this is Joe's first album of all original compositions, mixing his native-tongue free jazz elasticity with nuanced Latin grooves and meditative lyricism. The recording captures the edge-of-the-seat group interaction of US5 as the band intuitively interprets Lovano's compositions in a loose and joyous way. (From Amazon)

Otto Klemperer is one of my favorite conductors.  His tempi in this Beethoven symphony cycle are on the slow side (especially in the 5th), but I have to say that it works for me.  Right now I am listening to "Eroica" and it is absolutely spellbinding.  For about $40 you get an outstanding symphony cycle and all five piano concertos with Daniel Barenboim.  What a great deal.

Actually it does. Nice acoustic jazz that uses the Beatle songs as improvisational themes. Far enough away from the originals not to be a simple playing of the songs by a jazz band but with enough of the original melodies to tie the jazz back to familiar tune. I think it is a good balance. YMMV

Love this, 1st classical cd I bought was Klemperer's version of the 5th, eventually got the complete cycle on cd. Then again on vinyl.

While most of the world is busy dumping their LPs in favor of the "perfect sound forever" discs, we are going the other way.  :D

I love going against the tide.  :thumb:

Wendy Carlos: Secrets of Synthesis

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41W4JBY9MYL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

This is an "audio documentary" Wendy Carlos' approach to recording music using electronic synthesizers. But while I first thought is would be about playing with the technology it really talks a lot about the process of putting together a musical score and most if not all of the concepts have direct correlation to the process of orchestration with acoustic instruments. I was really surprised at how much formal musical planing and composition  went into her work. I found I learned a lot more about music itself from this disc than I did about electronic toys. Not something I would play over and over, but  definitely worth a listen if you can get your hands on a copy. (try your local library, that's where I found this copy.)

Not bad in the SQ department, but musically not my cup of tea. It is just a bit to free form for my tastes. I prefer jazz that is more rooted in a melodic theme. Not a matter of good or bad, just my personal preference.

But I'm always willing to listen to anything once. You never know what you might find that will strike a chord with you.

Britten's Orchestra: Michael Stern/Kansas City Symphony

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61xkTST8z3L._SL500_AA300_.jpg) CD

The SACD version of this disc won Keith Johnson his first Grammy for the 2010's Best Surround Sound Album.

I have the HDCD version and as one would expect from RR, the two-channel version is absolutely top shelf in the SQ department as well. :thumb:

Of interesting note - the conductor on this recording, Michael Stern, is the son of famed violinist Issac Stern. I guess he inherited the family musical genes.  8)

One word of warning - Keith Johnson states that this disc contains the widest dynamic range of anything he has ever recorded, so use some restraint with the volume control the first time through this disc. There are a number of quiet passages that  make one want to juice up the volume, but there are also some monstrous peaks hiding around the corner.  :shock:

Martin Gribinger: Drums 'N' Chant

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/418DuKSeIlL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) CD


OK, this one is just flat out bizarre. Gregorian Chants combine with a percussion combo. Sort of like The Benedictine Monks meet "Bang Baroom and Harp".

But I do have to give it credit for excellent SQ. The recording is very clean and presents a wide and deep soundstage with very good location specificity. Although, one things that did strike me as a bit odd sonically was the fact that the acoustic cues seemed to indicate the two groups (the Monks and the percussionist were in different acoustic spaces. Then I read the liner note and found that not only were the two group recorded separately, but the two recording were done 29 years apart!

However as strange as it is, it somehow has a way of drawing you in musically. I don't know if I would really want to sit through the whole disc end to end, but in same chunks (like one or two cuts at a time it is kind of interesting. And given the sonic qualities of this disc I can see it coming out from time to time for use as a test disc.

This is the first lot to arrive of a string of 95 LPs that I bought last week.  Oh my GOD!  What an incredible recording.  This will very likely be my new favorite Prokofiev 5th Symphony.  Ormandy's reading is both soul stirring and breathtaking, and the sound quality is truly phenomenal.  Every time I buy one of these outstanding vintage Columbia, Decca, London, Westminster, or RCA Victor recordings it serves as a sad reminder that sound recording and engineering had reached the pinnacle of excellence in the 1950s, and everything since then has been on a steady downward slope in quality since then.

The jacket has a little bit of wear but the treasure inside is in perfect condition....and it only cost me a measly $6.00.  :D

Time for a little break from classical music and relax with some 78s.  One of the many fun things about shellac is that in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s there were a lot of bands that cut a few sides but did not rise to national recognition.  So there are many gems out there by artists most people who are not avid collectors never heard of...

...such as Erskine Butterfield and His Blue Boys.

I was actually familiar with many of these groups even before getting into 78s, mainly because I'm a jazz lover and followed the music rather closely from the 78 era, but still there many that were unknowns to me until I spun a 78 from them.

Like this one:

Were you collecting in the 78 era?  That was a pretty long time ago, early 50s?  Back when a record album meant a book of 78 rpm 10" discs that together made an album of music, like a photo album. 12" LP squished it onto one disc but the term  was already in the vernacular.

Looks like some cool sides Jerome.

Oh no, not quite.  I'm not that old.  I meant to say that music from that period is of considerable interest to me.  A lot of 78 music from the 1930s and 40s has made it on to CD.  And, unfortunately, a great deal of it still languishes in obscurity.

Sometimes it helps to know a little something about the labels of that period to pick out stuff that might be good.  I try to scan through these things rather quickly when I am buying a lot of them because picking this stuff out can be time consuming.

Here's an interesting one.  I never heard of Charley Shavers and His All American Five.  But I did now a little something about Keynote Recordings and figured it was probably an interesting pair of jazz sides so I slowed down long enough to read the credits.  Hmm...Coleman Hawkins and Teddy Wilson.  Yep, any jazz fan would be familiar with those names.  So I snapped up several sides featuring this group.

(http://www.indierockfan.net/pics/CharleyShavers_AllAmerican5.jpg)

After researching Shavers I learned that he played with Lucky Millinder in the 1930s and Benny Goodman in the 1950s.

If I could recommend only one Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1 recording this would be it.  While I do not think that Katchen matches the fire and intensity or hits the emotional peaks and valleys that Rubinstein managed with Fritz Reiner, it comes damn close.  And the sound on this London ffss vinyl pressing is more spacious and three dimensional than the RCA Victor shaded dog pressing of the Rubinstein recording.

Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra deliver a smokin' hot reading of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 (and the young lady on the album cover ain't too shabby either.  aa )

Sometimes spending a lot of money on audiophile records doesn't get you very far.  A few years ago I bought this title on a Cisco 180g vinyl reissue from Acoustic Sounds for $39.  It sat unplayed for a few months before I had time to give it a listen.  The record was loaded with loud pops on both sides.  In short it was a bad pressing.  It was past the 30 return window so I was stuck with it. 

A few weeks ago I found this original minty Columbia 2 Eye pressing for $7.  The sound is awesome and no pops.

The Rubinstein Collection - Vol. 2

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51MxHJNTY1L._SL500_AA300_.jpg) CD

Music by Chopin, Liszt, Rachmaninoff, Debussy, Ravel, Grandos, Falla and Villa-Lobos.

This CD dovetails right into some of the discussions we have been having lately about music being more important than sound. These recordings are from the 20s and 30s so the SQ is less than one would expect from a modern recording, but the performances are so involving that the overshadow the lack of ulimate fidelity.

Sounds in Space - A Stereophonic Sound Demonstration Record

(http://s.dsimg.com/image/R-572607-1150038187.jpeg)

After an exciting countdown to "firing," Ken Nordine urgently informs us that "The age of space is here! And now, RCA Victor brings you sound in space—stereophonic sound!" This stereo demonstration record lets us hear the difference between ordinary mono high-fidelity sound and the new world of stereo high-fidelity. Beyond the pun of the title, the association with the space age really meant to impress listeners with the fact that this was high-tech stuff.

The SQ is not up to RCA standards (even though the music is source from some of the famous Living Stereo recordings), but it is still some fun 1950s nostalgia.

They has two both accoicated with dealers in Taiwan selling this ablum and they were asking $300 and $380 for it (I picked it up last Sat for $2). Well my excitement faded when I opened the sites and found that the price quoted was in new Taiwan dollars which are each  worth about 3 1/2 US cent. making the asking price a little over $10 US.  :duh

So I didn't make a killing on the purchase, but the music and SQ as still both  very good which is why I picked it up in the first place.  :thumb:

Just saw I owed an answer to this - Babylon Sisters and Hey Nineteen. For me there is enough space between instruments that you can really focus on the atributes of each. Also, near the start of BabSis there is a single striking of a cymbal/hi-hat, get to know that sound, as it will change with system changes, a great way to quickly tell how accurate your system reproduces upper registers.

I have had this LP since it was first released and never really thought of using it as a test record. Are you using a particular track to highlight any specific thing?

A fun Reggae version of Pink Floyd's classic album. I have had this on CD for quite a while and saw this vinyl version while cruising around on Amazon last week. Even though it is thin green vinyl, this LP version absolutely smokes the CD from a SQ basis.

Samples here:

This is the listing for the CD . From some reason the LP listing does not contain any samples.

(http://www.indierockfan.net/pics/Beethoven5th_Furtwangler.jpg)

I recently scored four original HMV UK pressings of Wilhelm Furtwängler leading the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in performances of Beehoven Symphony Nos. 3, 5, 6, and 7.  Each symphony is on a single 12" LP, pressed on heavy vinyl (~ 180g if I had to guess).

I have taken a few chances lately on eBay and some of them didn't quite pan out.  I bought several records from a seller who assured me that his grading is spot on, and yet the 8 LPs I bought that he insisted were near mint were essentially junk that was not fit to put on a turntable.  So there went over $100 out the door and I am in the middle of working my way through an eBay Buyer Protection claim to get my money back.  I really don't have the time or energy for this.

At roughly the same time I really went out on a limb and bought these rather expensive Furtwängler records from a dealer in Israel (don't even go there, the alarm bells were ringing in my head when I bought them so I knew I was probably asking for trouble).  The Beethoven records arrived an hour ago and I was expecting to be very disappointed.  Imagine, to my delight, taking these vintage records out of the sleeves and seeing four prinstine LPs that had not a single mark, scuff, scratch, or blemish of any kind.  They had a brilliant vinyl shine.  These records might have been on a turntable a few times, but if they were the original and subsequent owners took extraordinary care of them.   They were indistinguishable from new.  The laminated jackets were also in pristine condition, with the original HMV inner sleeve also in minty shape.  The only evidence of their age was the slight yellowing of the inner sleeve near the edges.

I just finished listening to the Fifth symphony.  It was absolutely perfect.  No pops, no crackles, no clicks.

There are a lot of recordings that were issued on the HMV label prior to 1957 that are quite valuable, such as the Furtwängler Beethoven and Bruckner releases.

RCA Victor issued a number of choral works in its Soria Series under the Living Stereo banner.  These sets were in clothbound covers with Libretto, on two or three LPs.  I have been working to get the entire series.  The most recent addition to my library is this recording of Verdi's Requiem Mass by Fritz Reiner and the Vienna Philharmonic.  It is an outstanding recording with exceptionally wide dymanics.  The Dies Irae will challenge your system...so be careful.

Two great albums. But you know what, in many cases from the point of view of a listener the reissues are often damn close and sometimes better in some respects than the originals. While the collectors, who want to own for the sake of owning a certain pressing will drive to price out of sight, I derive my pleasure from listening  so reissues work just fine for me. I have very few absolute rules when it come t this hobby but one of them relates to records and that is if I'm not going to listen to it, I'm not going to buy it. So what ever works out best from a listening perspective is the road I take, regardless of the value or collectability of the record. If I ever came across a kilobuck original Bluenote pressing in the Crackhouse I would probably listen to it once and then put it up for sale and use the proceeds to buy a whole bunch of audiophile reissues.

While the collectors, who want to own for the sake of owning a certain pressing will drive to price out of sight, I derive my pleasure from listening  so reissues work just fine for me.

If I ever came across a kilobuck original Bluenote pressing in the Crackhouse I would probably listen to it once and then put it up for sale and use the proceeds to buy a whole bunch of audiophile reissues.

I just wanted to clear something up so as not to offend anyone. I am a collector of music. When I make my choices about whether to part with some of my resources (whether it be spare cash or lately storage space  :roll:) to obtain a particular piece of software the overriding concern in making that decision is the musical experience I will have listening to it. I take not pride in the ownership of the physical medium itself, but rather in what it contains. Now there are people out there who derive their pleasure from the hunting down and collecting of the physical items. And if that is how they get their kicks, that's their business and it's fine with me. It's just not my thing, that's all. That said, if I ever tripped over an original Blue Note at a reasonable price I would consider buying it, but more because of the music than the collectability. But that is just me, YMMV.

For me it always comes down to how good is the music (both performance and SQ) vs how much does it cost. And where the go/no go point is on that curve is a very individual decision that depends on many factors in each person's individual circumstances such as how much free cash do you have and what other things could you buy with the that money if you don't purchase the record under question. There is not right or wrong answer here. It is an individual decision that will vary now only from person to person but also from day  to day for the same person. (Think about how your record buying standards would change if you got a big cash windfall, like winning the lottery or even just got a nice bonus at work or on the downside if a family member suddenly got sick and you were hit with a bunch of substantial medical bills.)

So even among like minded music collectors there is no right and wrong purchasing rules. It all boils down to what just feels right at the moment (I still have a hard thing explaining that one to my wife!   :lol:)

Post by: jsaliga on April 30, 2011, 08:34:54 AM
Tom,

I certainly wasn't offended and I doubt anyone else was.  I think eveyone finds their own way and does what works for them.  Different folks will have varying experiences with this stuff and reach different conclusions.  I'm not a collector -- I'm a music lover.  But most people would take one look in my basement and say "You're a collector."  I say not so fast.  If I have a large record/CD/tape collection then it is my love and passion for music that brought me to it.  I don't buy anything just to have it in my possession.

I think music lovers are torn between two worlds and neither of them are ideal.  Vinyl is a deeply flawed medium (prone to manufacturer defects and user damage) that historically has contained near-perfect recordings.  On the other hand, digital provides a near perfect medium that has been used to store poor recordings (or good recordings with bad mixing and mastering).  My own experience suggests that vinyl peaked in about 1960.  In my view every record pressed after 1974 up until 1980 is of mediocre quality, and records pressed after 1980 and up to vinyl's comeback is worthless junk.  Even some audiohphile pressings on heavy vinyl have quality control problems - Classic Records was notorious for them.

So, having said all of that my thing is that I want my recordings in the best sound available.  So I will prefer, for example, an original 1960 pressing on heavy vinyl of a given recording over a 1976 reissue that was pressed on wafer thin vinyl.  I am extremely sensitive to vinyl defects.  I can live with a stray light pop or occasional crackle, but I have no tolerance whatsoever for a scratch that produces a loud recurring pop every time the stylus passes over it as the record spins.  That's a deal breaker for me.

As much as I would prefer to have original vinyl pressings of everything, due to cost and availability this just isn't possible.  This is where reissues fill a void.  I tend to favor audiophile reissues remastered by engineers I am familiar with and trust such as Steve Hoffman, Bernie Grundman, Doug Sax, and a few others.  Sometimes there is no audiophile vinyl reissue, and all you can find is a catalogue reissue (lots of these are out there from Original Jazz Classics, for example).  They certainly sound good enough to listen to and enjoy.  My approach to music is that I would rather have it on CD then not at all if no better sounding recording is available on vintage vinyl.  The music comes first for me, but once I am committed to the music then I do make the effort to locate the best possible recording that I can find at a price I am willing to pay.

Another awesome buy from High Definition Tape Transfers.  This recording of Beethoven's 9th Symphony is one of my favorites, with Fritz Reiner leading the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.  This HDTT offering is FLAC encoded in 24bit/192KHz digital audio and was sourced from a RCA Victor 4-track stereo tape.  The sound is simply mesmerising.

The "Pops" Goes Country: Arthur Fieldler/Chet Atkins/The Boston Pops

(http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/60/c0/474bc060ada028c06a2ee110.L._AA300_.jpg)

I found this album disturbing to listen to. It sounds like Atkins' guitar was recorded in a studio and later added to a recording of the Boston Pops done in Symphony Hall. (the other possibilty was that Atkins play with the pops but his guitar was fed directly into the mixing board and not captured by the same mics that were used to record the rest of the orchestra. But whatever the reason the album just presents a sonic picture that is just not credible. Atkins guitars is super clean but has not of the ambient clues one would expect to hear when it was playing in a large acoustic place like Symphony Hall. It also throws an image that is way to big in size when compared to the rest of the orchestra. There is also one cut that includes a drum kit which is mike in a standard way putting part of the drums in the right channel and part in the left. This would not be a bad thing except for the fact that these drum tracks are then combined with the recording of the rest of the orchestra which puts some of the drums in the back row of the violin section while other drums from the same kit  sound like they are sitting right next to the double basses all the way on the other side of the stage. Not a very realistic image.

As much as I like Feidler and the Boston Pops, this one is heading right to the bottom of the pile.

First up is Gerry Mulligan, Night Lights w/ Art Farmer, Bob Brookmeyer, on original Phillips Monaural LP
(http://s.dsimg.com/image/R-2421279-1283152390.jpeg)

Lyrical, swinging, great blowing masters, Mulligan tunes and arrangements at their finest. A few slow tunes keeping with the Night Lights theme, but also some bossa and up tempo stuff. Farmer lets down his hair a little. Mulligan's strong spiritual presence is on full display.

Original 1958 Contemporary LP

I think it's mono, because the jacket doesn't say stereo, and the soundfield is very narrow. But there does seem to be a sense of space. The whole image is shifted 5 degrees to the left of center. Whatever, the music is great. Cymbals especially sound so nice on vinyl. Maybe because the recording rolls off at 15kHz?

Well maybe not right now but soon.  I'm expecting another largish order of classical LPs to arrive tomorrow and I want to go through a lot of those.  But I suspect soon that my current run on classical titles will end and I will get back to listening to jazz regularly.  I'm starting to miss it.

Original 1968 RCA Victor LP. This one magically appeared in my collection. I don't know how it got there, or when. I've never listened to it before. Hmm...  :-k

Sound quality is excellent. Pan is too wide, but tone is good. The tunes and jams are a little cerebral, typical of that period and especially of Burton. He taught at Berklee when I attended. Larry Coryell, Steve Swallow, Bob Moses.

EDIT: Halfway through, this record JAMS!! Lihgtspeed vibraphone pyrotechnics, and some serious straight ahead grooves. Heavies working it out with a small but appreciative live audience.

A Polydor LP reissue from 1980s, with the original cover art, not this "Master Takes" cover for the CD compilation.  This LP has two quintet takes of "Relaxin with Lee," with Dizzy, before the strings tracks start. Bird really wails on this. He was so happy during this time, and so proud of this band, his recovery, and this recording. He played every night with this string band for months. Makes me want to hear my Clifford Brown with Strings (on CD)

This one is wild! Schoenberg's "Ode to Napoleon Buonaparte" has a vocal recitation. It is very political, like a left wing blog from 1942. I guess there was plenty of politics to comment on in that year. I haven't listened closely yet, but I think it compares Buonaparte to Hitler. Schoenberg is a trip.  I force myself to listen to him because Glenn Gould loved him, said he was the best composer ever, after Bach. The more I listen to it, the more I see why Glenn Gould would like it. 2 peas in a crazy pod. Takes up all of side 1, screeching strings and a screaming narrator.

Second side is great if you like modern string quartet compositions.

One of the best violin concertos, played by one of the best soloists, on one of the best record labels. I suppose you got that for $0.69?  :mrgreen:

I was in Goodwill buying dress shoes for my son yesterday (he needs them for a Bar Mitzvah and will outgrow them in a week.) I took a glance at the vinyl and picked out some interesting stuff. At the cashier they wanted $1 per disc so I passed. I guess that's not bad, but they have not been checked and no guarantee that they'll play. Are the crack house discs guaranteed to play? Are the cleaned? Are they just random trash, buyer beware?

$1

Eleazar can break down the pricing better for rock.

All classical, be it 1 album, or a complete boxed set of LVB's 9 symphonies, ( I have like 5 versions of all 9), are a whopping $1.

Caveat Emptor rules the day, though Cracky the vinyl dealer does provide a few operational TTs with headphones, so you can check it before you buy it.

Washed - nah.

Jazz from $1 to $20, with a deep grove The Sidewinder on the wall for $100, I lust after it, but will never buy it.

It is pretty easy to pick out the ones that the previous owner gave to his cat for a scratching post and after a while you get an eye for what has a high probability of playing well. Every once in a while you get one that looks good but plays like cr@p, but at $0.69 cents you can afford to toss one occasionally.

Just got this at the crackhouse, haven't had a chance to clean it yet, is it worth the effort?

I would think so, but..............

No buts about it in my book. Anything with either Heifitz or Reiner is worth the effort in my book.  :thumb:

And from my point of view that is not necessarily a bad thing. The best thing about this forum is the exchange of new info and ideas amongst ourselves.  There is so much good music out there that nobody can know it all and we each come to the table with different likes and experiences to share. I have expanded the width and depth of what I listen to more in the last year than I had in the previous 10. We all tend to get into our musical comfort zone and end up buying more and more of basically the same type of stuff, which is OK, but there is such a huge world of musical goodies out there if you just have some help wading through it. Based on discussions had here I have ventured into all kinds of area that I never would have looked at on my own (of course having the ability to score things at the Crack house for under a buck or the library for free make this experimenting a lot easier - I don't think I would have been so free to experiment for $16+ per album at retail.) Thanks to Jerome I have been turned on to some of the musical gems from ABC Command records which I never really took seriously before because I always though of them as just the Enoch Light label and Arthur Rubinstein, whom while I recognized as one of the heavyweights of piano, never really listened to seriously in the past (in fact I never really listened to a whole piano music as a whole, which I have found to be very relaxing during some of our more stressful moments at home, so there is even another avenue opened to me.) Jerome recently commented that he think he may soon shift his listening focus back to jazz for a while. I for one can't wait. If his knowledge of jazz is half as deep as his knowledge of classical we are in for a fun ride!  8)

And speaking of jazz through a lot of the discussions we had hear I also got turned on to some of the early treasures of the Blue Note catalog. Again here is a bunch of stuff that I never actively avoided for any reason, but I never was compelled to pick up either. Boy, was I missing a whole bunch of good stuff. And probably would have continued walking right past it if it was not for the discussions on this forum.

These are just two example of things I learned through posting here. There are plenty more. So I agree with you Bill, there aren't a whole lot of things posted here that I recognize and to me, that's a great thing.

Thanks to all you guys for sharing.

Tom

PS - I'll be off in a little while for a trip to the Crack House, only this time to drop things off. :shock: :shock: :shock:
Before you panic, the drop-offs will be surplus clothes and household items for them to sell in other parts of the store. We have a good friend whose wife passed away from Lupus and profits from the store go to the Lupus foundation so we try to support them when we can. (in ways other than my purchases.  :roll:)

Nyco- Realize

Smart pop. Reminds me of a latter day American Squeeze.  Their music has been featured on numerous national ads.  Great hooks and musicianship.

Got this CD at my own annual version of the Crackhouse.  Every year the Columbia Art Museum hosts a record show featuring vendors from around the country.  y favorite vendor, however, is the University of South Carolina radio station, which sells its overages of the plethora of promo CDs it receives, usually for $5.00/shopping bag.  In almost all cases, I have no idea what I'm buying, but without fail I end up with half a dozen unknown gems and the adventure of discovery going through the bounty.  Plus, my donation helps keep college radio alive and flourishing. It's a win-win.

This album is definitely one of the gems.

(http://www.indierockfan.net/pics/Tchaik_4th_Fischer.jpg)

I finally got around to getting this Tchaikovsky 4th from Ivan Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra.  Rather than order it on SACD from Amazon I bought it from HD Tracks as a 24/88.2 FLAC download.  I like the performance and appreciate what Fischer was doing with the orchestra but I had a real problem with the recording.  The violins in particular sounded so distant that they failed to carry the powerful emotional content of this masterpiece to the listener.  The horns, on the other hand, overpower the soundstage.  The recording is a bit bass heavy and lacks air in the treble.  I consider this to be a good performance that is severely held back by the unbalanced sonics.

Do you know how much time it takes to spend $320 on $1 per........

I was at the crackhouse over 6 hours, come hour 6 I had know idea what I had taken hour 1!

I'd like to say this is the 1st time I bought the same album during the same trip, but then I'd be a liar along with all my other faults.  8)

Bill - this album looks pristine, but an inch in from the lead-in groove there's something that keeps throwing the stylus back, you'll have to bring your diy steam system down next trip, cuz this sounds really nice otherwise.

And she is definitely female. I'm not sure what I liked better, the music she made in the eighties or the photos she put on the record covers.  aa

I saw her play Radio City Music Hall in 1986. The music started and she bopped onto the stage in a high school cheerleader outfit. The next two sounds you hear were gasps from every male in the audience followed by groans as their wives elbowed then in the ribs (I had a black and blue mark for a week.  :lol:)

I picked up this collection of Russian music by Daniel Barenboim and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra on Deutsche Grammophon for a few bucks recently.  This is a 1977 pressing, and I usually pass on records from this period if there is a 1960s or 50s pressing available of the same work.  But the cost of this LP was so low that if it didn't pan out it was no great loss.  It is a great recording with fantastic sound.  If you run across this title in minty shape just buy it.  You can thank me later.

Oh no, a few months back.

Like I said, I get into it for a few hours, (it's a 2 hour drive 1 way so I try to make it worth my while), and I forget what I did at start of trip by the time I'm winding down.

Interesting review in NY Times:
NY TIMES REVIEW

MUSIC; Bird Lives! The Birth Of Bebop, Captured On Disc
By FRED KAPLAN
Published: July 31, 2005

IT'S an unlikely story, but the most stunning jazz discovery in a decade -- the Rosetta Stone of bebop -- was unearthed at an Elks Lodge in Chelmsford, Mass. The trove consisted of seven 12-inch acetate discs, on which was recorded a 40-minute concert by Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker at Town Hall in New York on June 22, 1945.

That date is significant. The two musicians -- Diz and Bird, as the world would soon know them -- were still fairly obscure. (Most of the audience had probably come to hear other musicians on the bill, especially the tenor saxophonist Coleman Hawkins, who didn't show up.) The first Gillespie-Parker record had been in stores for only a few weeks. The second, produced on May 11, hadn't yet been released.

In short, these discs vividly transport us to the birth of modern jazz.
In those days of the 78 r.p.m. single, studio sessions were limited to about three minutes per song, solos to 15 or 20 seconds. At the Town Hall concert, the musicians were free to play the tunes -- ''Bebop,'' ''Groovin' High,'' ''Hot House,'' ''A Night in Tunisia'' and ''Salt Peanuts,'' all jazz anthems by the end of that year but at the time still unknown -- for twice as long, and at a furious tempo. Solos went on for two minutes or more, and they're blazing -- Diz scaling heights on trumpet, Bird hitting speeds on alto sax, that no one had heard before. The studio recordings, great as they are, sound mellow, even quaint, by comparison.

Now, 60 years after the concert, the small jazz label Uptown Records has sonically restored the acetates and transferred them to a CD titled simply ''Dizzy Gillespie-Charlie Parker: Town Hall, New York City, June 22, 1945.

The acetates were brought to light by Uptown's proprietor, Dr. Robert E. Sunenblick, an internal physician who splits his practice between Montreal and Plattsburgh, N.Y. -- and splits his life between seeing patients in the afternoons and running a one-man record company in the mornings and at night.

Dr. Sunenblick, 56, has long been a denizen of the record-collecting subculture, one of the bleary-eyed men who spend weekends at vinyl expos, combing through stacks of LP's, 45's, 78's and the occasional tape or acetate, yearning for out-of-print rarities or -- the ultimate dream -- long-lost treasures. ''They've got that psycho-killer look,'' he said with a laugh. ''I know it well; I get it myself sometimes.''

In the early 1980's, while working in Manhattan for an emergency medical service, Dr. Sunenblick started the Uptown label and began producing new albums, often of once-prominent jazz musicians who had unjustly fallen into shadows. After a divorce, he moved to Montreal and, removed from the live music scene, began to explore the murky world of old, forgotten recordings.

Newspapers were reporting that someone had taken a home movie -- and still had the reel -- of the legendary moment in the 1932 World Series when Babe Ruth pointed to center field, then slugged the next pitch over the wall.

''It fascinated me that stuff like that exists,'' Dr. Sunenblick recalled in a phone interview. ''I got to thinking, what else exists in somebody's closet?'' He started looking.

In the early 90's, he traveled to Newton, Mass., to buy a record collection from a former dealer. In the course of chatting, the seller told him about a friend who had tape-recorded radio broadcasts of jazz concerts in the 40's and 50's.

Dr. Sunenblick went to see the friend. One of his tapes was of a concert in Boston in 1954 by the West Coast trumpeter Chet Baker, his first East Coast appearance. It became the first album in Uptown's Flashback Series. Another, from the same batch of tapes, was a Boston concert by Charlie Parker in 1952.

The Parker tape posed a puzzle. The reel was undated. So Dr. Sunenblick went to the Boston Public Library and looked up microfiche of old newspapers, searching for an advertisement for a Parker concert. He found one in the long-defunct Boston Daily Record. The concert's date, he could authenticate, was Dec. 14, 1952.

Meanwhile, a fellow record collector in Cleveland told him about a friend who had a tape of a 1958 Coleman Hawkins performance at a high school dance in Jamestown, N.Y. The dance took place in a ballroom one floor below a radio station. Someone at the station had covertly wired a microphone through the ceiling and recorded the date. The friend, an avid Hawkins collector, had obtained the tape.

A disc jockey in Pittsburgh, another acquaintance from the used-records circuit, told him about a trumpeter named Danny Conn, who had played in a local nightclub with Dodo Marmarosa -- a brilliant pianist who in the 1940's had accompanied every jazz giant who came to Los Angeles. After suffering a mental breakdown, Marmarosa returned to Pittsburgh, his hometown, and resumed playing. Mr. Conn made tapes of their gigs. Dr. Sunenblick bought them, had them restored, obtained the rights and released them.

AND on and on the discoveries went.
Which leads to a Saturday morning in the fall of 2000, when Dr. Sunenblick, while visiting his daughter in Boston, drove to a record show at the Elks Lodge in nearby Chelmsford.
He struck up a conversation with a ''picker,'' a special breed of collector who tracks down extremely rare records and sells them quickly for cash only. A few weeks later, the picker, who lived in Milton, Mass., called him, said he'd found a very unusual acetate, and offered to play it over the phone.
The first sound on the record was the voice of Sidney Torin, a popular New York jazz D.J. in the 40's better known as Symphony Sid, introducing a concert by the Dizzy Gillespie Quintet, featuring Charlie Parker, with Max Roach on drums, Al Haig on piano and Curley Russell on bass.

Dr. Sunenblick knew that no live recordings of this quintet had ever been found -- or even been rumored to exist. The disc was the collector's dream, a treasure-map fragment of a secret history.
The picker, who to this day insists on anonymity (''All these guys worry about copyrights and tax collectors,'' Dr. Sunenblick said), told him he'd found the acetate at an antique store just outside Stamford, Conn. Dr. Sunenblick, who figured it had to be the first of a multidisc set, begged him to go back to the store and look for the others. He found six more. They turned out to contain the rest of the concert.
More than that, they sounded pretty good -- cleaner and more balanced than many studio sessions of the day -- and they were complete; there were no gaps or dropouts. It was clearly a professional job, engineered backstage at Town Hall on two side-by-side disc-cutting machines.
Who recorded it? Why didn't he pass the discs around, try to sell them, or even tell anybody about them? How did they end up in Connecticut?
Their sudden appearance, out of the blue, is a major find, but it stirs deeper mysteries. Parker and Gillespie also played at Town Hall a month earlier, on May 16, 1945. We know this because there are photos from that concert (one of them is on the Uptown CD's cover). Are there acetates, too? And if so, in what attic or junk shop have they been lurking the past half-century?

Mozart: Six String Quartets Dedicated to Haydn Quartetto Italiano

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41rOOsZx3AL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) 3 LP Set

Here is a perfect example of what I was discussing with Rich a while back about shopping at the Crack House. I picked up this 3 LP set on Monday. Upon visual inspection it looked perfect. No scratches, no spindle marks, shinny vinyl, it looked like it have never been played. I took it home, cleaned it on the VPI and dropped it on the TT. What I heard was more snaps crackles and pops than a bowl of Rice Krispies.  :roll:
This must have just been a bad pressing right out of the factory. It has happened to be before with sealed new LPs as well. So you have to just visually grade things in the store and once in a while despite your best effort yo eyeball the records you will get stuck with a clunker. IF I had paid $20 for the set I might be upset, but at a dollar, I'll just chuck it and write it off as an occupational hazard. Hey, if I buy 10 LPs for a dollar each and get 9 good ones, in my book I am still way ahead of the game. 8)

This minty original Decca SXL wideband pressing of Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 4 with Zubin Mehta leading the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra came in today.  I am really glad I got this album.  The sound quality, as one might expect from the legendary recording engineers at Decca, is spectacular.  The performance really sparkles and is right up there with Bernstein and Monteux, which are my two favorites for this symphony.  Get it if you can find it for a reasonable price.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fHSq3z5CL._SS400_.jpg)

I received this by mail today. Brand new, $6 delivered. Gotta love Amazon Marketplace.

Sound quality is excellent with lots of natural reverb. Very dynamic and animated clean performance. Just getting into it now.

The first few tracks are easy listening Shosty, Jazz Suite and Gadfly. Very well recorded. The second half of the CD is both Piano Concertos 1 and 2. These are very well played by the pianist and conductor, but they fight a battle trying to drag the orchestra along at the correct tempos. The trumpeter is a wimp but has a big fat tone. I have another recording of the 1st concerto by Lise De La Salle on EMI which is better all around. This is the only 2nd concerto I have though, and it was the 2nd Concerto's Andante 2nd movement from this CD that I heard on the radio which sounded so lovely. It didn't disappoint tonight, even without the FM radio compression. The recording quality on the concertos is good but not up to audiophile standards. It gets congested and a little chesty in the big peaks, unlike the first part of the CD with different bands and conductors, and different venue's I presume. It is really hard to record piano concertos well, because pianos want to be close miked, while symphony orchestra wants distant mikes. This Andante is so beautiful I'm gonna try to seek out some better versions of it.

I noticed this one while browsing Amazon. It is Naxos so the recording will be damn near perfect. I have some other CDs by New Zealand SO which are very good.

Musicall very nice, but has some strange artifacts from a SQ point of view. Beautiful tonality and detail but has a very compressed soundstage on a front to rear basis. Sounds somewhat unnatural when the triangle sounds like it is placed in the middle of the violin section instead of behind it.

Excellent LP for casual listening from another room where the imaging is not really an issue.

Gene,

I see Westminster as a second tier label.  They did not have recording contracts with very many big name conductors and orchestras.  So in my view the performances are hit or miss.  The Tchaikovsky 5th that I just spun today was inspired.  The Tchaikovsky 4th that was led by the same conductor for Westminster was absolutely horrid, and I have heard high school orchestras that could fare better with the material.

What Westminster does consistently bring to the table is sound quality.  They duplicated the single mic technique that was employed by Mercury on the Living Presence records that they did mostly with Antal Dorati and the Minnesota Orchestra.  If you like that sound then you will find the SQ of a typical Westminster record agreeable.

They definitely are worth checking out so long as you understand that you may encounter a performance here and there that doesn't measure up.

Pan tricks, and Lee had to stuff his mike up into the trumpet to be heard over Blakey so his tone is shit, but the energy is blistering.


not to be confused with "Meet you at the jazz corner..."    which came a couple years later, with Wayne.

Ant Trip Ceremony ~ 24 Hours

Released in 1968 by a group of Oberlin College students and pressed in very limited numbers (i.e. 500 copies), 24 Hours is a blend of folk, blues, jazz and eastern psychedelia. Songs on the album explode with originality, with meditative pieces like Pale Shades Of Gray and it's eerily beautiful melody or Elaborations, a lengthy raga-ish instrumental with some very effective flute. Just one look at the tripped out psychedelic cover is enough to guarantee that the music contained within the confines of this album is a mind blowing artifact of the 60's counterculture.

Art ~ Supernatural Fairy Tales  1967

Supernatural Fairy Tales is the only LP by Art, a re-named band formerly known as The V.I.P.'s. The album contains mostly band compositions plus a cover of The Young Rascals' "Come on Up" and Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth".

All members of Art sooner or later met again in Spooky Tooth.

My weekend is so slammed - the busiest weekend of the year. Happens every year mid May.  3 baseball games, 2 soccer games, a neighborhood yard sale, a bar mitzvah, a Mahler 10th Symphony concert, a retirement party, a company picnic, and my 19th anniversary. Can you guess which I am looking forward to the most?

Let's all say a prayer for Carl and Christine, she is due today.

Oops, I meant Mahler 9th, not 10th. This was the first time I ever heard it, incredible! 90 minutes long, no break. Best live symphony I've heard yet. What are good recordings of it?  I have the Bertini on EMI, but never listened to 9th.

This is a 180g reissue on Speakers Corner.  Originals of this record are getting pretty scarce and quite expensive.  The sound is fantastic as is the performance.  Very much worth the $34 I paid for it at Acoustic Sounds.  Highly recommended.

Jerome I'd be interested to her your thoughts on the Sundazed LPs

I own a bunch of them and just ordered another dozen or so.  I think the overall quality is very good.  The pressings are not as nice or as quiet as expensive audiophile LPs from the likes of Speakers Corner or Pure Pleasure Records, for example.  But a Sundazed LP is only about half the cost too, so I'm not going to complain about a wee bit of surface noise.

What I don't know is whether or not Sundazed is using original master tapes.  I can't say that I have ever compared a Sundazed LP to an original minty pressing to see how it stacks up.  But then in fairness, I really haven't done such comparisons with other reissue labels either.  My belief is that if it sounds good then it is good.  There's usually no need for me to dig any deeper than that.

Great swinging jazz in combo setting with west coast's finiest musicians. Maynard is blowing some really good real jazz, even some valve trombone solos.

The first track, "Maiden Voyage" was written and arranged by Willie Maiden, recorded here in 1954. Herbie Hancock wrote the more famous version in 64. The doofus record label for this reissue was written in 1976 lists H. Hancock as the composer.  :duh

Really busy day today, so I am just catching up with my posting for the weekend. Inbetween taking care of my wife, since we have no home health aid on Sundays, I spent most of the day in the basement  building a storage rack for LPs. Even thought I was working on the unfinished side of the basement the TT was running all day pupming in tunes from the mancave.

It seemed like most everybody was on a classic rock run this weekend. (Heck even Jerome took a breeak from his classical collection to spin some rock, so I fely moraly obligated to join in :D)

The I saw you were listening to the MMT MoFi and the thought hit me why not run with nthat and make it MoFi Sunday?

Most of my MoFis have not seen daylight since I mounted the Blackbird so it was a good  opportunity to visit with some "Old Friends" (which reminds  me, do you realize that both Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel will trun 70 this year - how terribly strange).

Well even from the other room the great sound of these records was readily apparent. So here comes the playlist:

Really busy day today, so I am just catching up with my posting for the weekend. Inbetween taking care of my wife, since we have no home health aid on Sundays, I spent most of the day in the basement  building a storage rack for LPs. Even thought I was working on the unfinished side of the basement the TT was running all day pupming in tunes from the mancave.

Hmmmnnn, what is wrong with this picture...  I can hardly shuffle past my turntable without the tonearm dancing across my records  :evil: (and I'll have you know that it's better than it was) meanwhile, Tom is hammering away at building a new record rack and he listens to vinyl all day long without a hitch! :roll:

The recent floor bracing helped, but hasn't completely solved the problem.  I am waiting on some new sorbothane isolation thingys to try next. 

If that doesn't work, maybe I'll pull one of the vents off the side of the foundation of my crawlspace and have a cement mixer pour 40 yards of concrete under my damned listening room floor!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

In the works. Unfortunately with all of the rest of the termoil in the house right now there is a bunch of stuff temporarily pile in-between the rack and where I would need to stand to take a picture of it. As soon as that it out of the way I will snap and post a pic.

The rack itself is located on the unfinished side of the basement and rather industrial looking, but it does the job. The dimensions are not what I normally would have planned if I was starting from scratch, but this project was done entirely using recycled lumber from other cabinets that were built to store craft supplies that my wife can no longer use due to her loss of dexterity. I was able to put this rack together using just that wood, as it was, without having to cut anything. For example the record shelves are 14 1/2" high which is a bit taller than I would have made them, but all the supports were already cut for that height, so I just went with it for speed and simplicity's sake (I no longer have a table saw so cutting down the support would have meant going to a friends house to use his saw and all of the BSing and hanging out that would have resulted from that trip.  :roll:)  
The rack itself turned out to be 50" wide and has 4 shelves to LPs and one shorter shelf that I am using to store books and audio magazines. So it is not exactly as I would have wanted it, but it's done and there is an advantage to that.  8)

You're absolutely right. The way I figure it is out of sight on the unfinished side of the basement where nobody is going to see it, so why spend extra time and/or money just to make it look nicer.

BTW my son has named it "The Crack House Annex" since that is where about 90% of the records that are sitting in it right now came from.  :duh

I take that back.  I just had a big order of audiophile vinyl come in today from Acoustic Sounds so I need to go through that.  The rock has to go back on hold for the time being.

Right now I am listening to what very well might be the best sounding record in my library...it is a 45 RPM set pressed on two 180g LPs by Analogue Productions and will set you back $50.  It is worth every penny.

I will refrain from laying on the thick audiophile superlatives and will only say that if you like classical music in general or enjoy Rachmaninoff in particular then buy this record while you still can.

Those of you familiar with this band will probably remember them for the power ballad When I'm With You.  It was the only reason I bought this still sealed LP, and I only bought it as a purchase of opportunity and wasn't really looking for it.  I didn't recall anything else about this band or its music.  After having just spun the fist side I can safely say that aside from that one memorable hit, the record seems to be filled with a lot of very forgettable 80s rock.

Pearls Before Swine ~ The Use Of Ashes

(http://freemusic07.ucoz.com/StoreE/Pearls_Before_Swine-1970-The_Use_Of_Ashes.jpg)    LP

Pearls Before Swine was an American psychedelic folk band formed by Tom Rapp in 1965 in Eau Gallie, now part of Melbourne, Florida. They released six albums between 1967 and 1971, before Rapp launched a solo career. Rapp lived close to Cape Canaveral and watched the rockets take off. The song "Rocket Man", on the album The Use of Ashes - written the day Neil Armstrong landed on the moon - was credited by Bernie Taupin with inspiring his hit song with Elton John of the same title. Quote : "We didn't steal that one from Bowie, we stole it from another guy, called Tom Rapp..."

"Frog In The Window"
By Tom Rapp

The frog in the window will sing for you
The frog in the window will smile for you
With his straw hat and his cane
And you know that you will not be the same
'Cause the frog in the window will dance for you
He'll tap out the rhythm in bright red shoes
And if you ask why this is done he'll say
You're only old when you will not be young

And the frog in the window will answer you
The questions you bring in a cup to view
And if his answer is not the best
It's so much better than all of the rest

But you say there are so many things to be done
And he says right back that there's really just one
'Cause you're talking of death and he puffs
Just being born is problem enough

And the frog in the window will cry for you
If you're not busy dying he'll pray for you
Glass beads in his hand
But you just stand there 'cause you don't understand

Jerome
During our talk I neglected to tell you I bought a complete set of Beatles LPs
on Japanese Vinyl about 4 years ago they but they didn't have the obi strips
at a cost of $20 per LP and $30 for the White Album

I'd make that deal. You can't listen to an OBI strip, so if not having them lowers the price because the record is "less collectable", that would be a plus in my book.

Good find.   :thumb:

Really busy day today, so I am just catching up with my posting for the weekend. Inbetween taking care of my wife, since we have no home health aid on Sundays, I spent most of the day in the basement  building a storage rack for LPs. Even thought I was working on the unfinished side of the basement the TT was running all day pupming in tunes from the mancave.

How about some pics of your new lp rack Tom.........Bill

Bill as per your request here is a pic of the new rack. Just for reference the entire unit is 53" wide and 78" high. As I mentioned before each shelf is 50" wide and there are 4 shelves for LPs and on smaller one for Books, Magazines etc.

A bit earlier in the year we were chatting on one of the threads about racks and I mentioned that Ikea made a nice bookshelf systems that a lot of guys were using for record storage. At the time I couldn't remember the name of the model I ran across it today. It is line of bookshelves is called Expedit and they come in various sizes. They are really not all that expensive and I have seen photos of them in peoples homes and the shelves show very little drooping even when fully loaded with records. Further info here:

Gene,

When I said "we"  were discussing racks I really meant "we as in terms of the whole AN community. I couldn't remember who exactly I chatted about it with or in which thread (I do remember is was kind of a sidebar to the main topic, which is probably why I had a hard time finding it) so I figured I would just throw in in on the end of this discussion in hopes that whomever it was who asked back then would see this response.)
But be that as it may I think your picture verifies what I was saying. Those shelves look awful straight and steady give the weight that is on them. thanks for chiming in.

Tom

BTW - judging from the picture I think there is one defect with that rack ... It has empty space in it!   :lol:.
See what you can do about that.  :thumb:

Gotcha Tom.

As for the rack, it's 3 units containing just the classical I bought in last 16 months. Still have to add jazz, and rock from my errant youth, so though it appears there's space, I actually need another unit already.

Rich, thanks for holding down the fort here while we were off partying at Pete's yesterday.  :beer:

While I did not spend any real time with the system at home yesterday I did get to listen to a bunch of stuff in the car.

I picked up several of the CDs form this Time-Life series at the Crack House figuring that if nothing less they would be good for the car. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that the SQ on these discs holds up rather well, even on the main system.

A real trip down memory lane.  :thumb:

DelFeayo Marsalis: Sweet Thunder (Duke & Shak)

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61UAj4UEyJL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) CD

From Amazon:
This recording combines Delfeayo's performance, orchestration and production skills into a jazz masterpiece that would certainly make its contributing historical figures, Duke Ellington & William Shakespeare, proud. Sweet Thunder features a cast of today's finest jazz performers including Branford & Jason Marsalis, Mulgrew Miller, Victor Goines, Charnett Moffett, Reginald Veal and Winard Harper; all of whom combine modern musings with an 'old school' groove, blues and swing. Ellington's original suite, inspired by Shakespearean themes and characters, was composed for a 15-piece jazz orchestra that featured various solo instrumentalists performing musical sonnets and poems.

RobS cleaned this one for me feb 2010. I had not played it at home yet. But it sounds good! Thanks Rob.  This is a record that I played on dynamic cartridges since 1977. Unlike some of my other records this one held up well, can't hear any groove damage at all.  Maybe my other records just need to be cleaned by Rob!

This original 1956 mono pressing on Contemporary just came in the mail on Saturday.  In fact a lot of new vinyl has landed on my doorstep over the past week but an extremely busy work schedule has kept me away from it and AN.  I'm hoping that I will have more time over the next few weeks but I have to put work first -- gotta pay the bills and all that.

My goal with the Contemporary label is to own every record featuring Shelly Manne, André Previn, and Barney Kessel.  I have a lot of them but not all of them.

A couple weeks ago I bought something on Amazon that won me a .99 credit toward mp3 purchase. I held onto it thinking I might grab a pop track I like, or for my kids. Last night I heard a big band Lazybird and thought I'll look for that, but couldn't find on mp3 track. So today, reading the news I found a story about how Lady Gagas new album caused Amazon download server to meltdown under the demand from their sale of her new album for .99.  My oldest kid likes her and just got her previous CD for his birthday. So sure enough all I had to do was one click and it was mine all mine! wooohoo..    Then install the Amazon music downloader, download 121MB of tracks, and pdf liner notes.  Some of the things she does are revolting, while other things are very good, for a pop star. Overall, I'm glad I got this record for only a buck, but looking forward to blasting it tomorrow morning before school.

OK, two weekends ago I went on a tear through some of the LPs in my collection from MoFi. Over the past few days I have been revisiting some of the vinyl issues by their chief competitor at the time, Nautilus Super Discs. Nice sounding half speed mastered (and some original Direct-to-Disc) records and although they did score a few musically significant rock releases the overall musical quality of their catalog never really rose to that of MoFi. But they did have a number of releases worth owning. (I picked up most of them at bargain basement prices during the mid-80s bloodlettings that occurred as people dumped their LPs collections in favor of the new "perfect sound forever" medium. It's been another really busy couple of days and while I have had the TT spinning quite a bit, I have not had the time to sit down and do the postings. So there it goes:

(http://thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/m/mXlyxLMBIOdm11ZHuBKRjbw/140.jpg) Nautilus dbx Encoded LP

OK this is living proof that everything on LP is not gold. I don't know if it is the dbx encode/decode process itself, the hardware used to do it or the somewhat cheap cables used in my system to hook it all together, but I compared this LP to the MoFi gold CD release of the same album and the CD had it all over the dbx LP in almost every sonic characteristic. For those keeping track (you know you're out there...  :duh) this is the 3rd time that I have publicly admitted in these pages that there is a CD that I liked better than its corresponding LP. Luck for us that I didn't mention this last week, the news might have caused a shift in that "end of the world" thing.  :rofl: (I know that somebody was about to say it, so I saved you the trouble.  :lol: )

The dbx LPs just don't do it for me.

You know it's funny how your perspective on things changes as you get older. Talk to somebody over 50 about pulling an "all-nighter" and they'll think you are referring to sleeping all the way through to 8AM without getting up to pee!  :rofl:

I can't remember the last time I slept all the way until 8AM (although I don't have those prostate issues about peeing at night). I'm too used to rising at 5:30-6AM all week long that my body wakes itself up on Sat and Sun morning no later than 7AM.

I know someone who built a "sleeping room" in their master bedroom. It has no exterior walls and no windows so they won't get sunshine in their eyes in the morning and can sleep whenever they want without care about daytime or nighttime. It seemed a little strange to me at the time but I can admire their forsight.

Just got the new Santana - Moonflower audiophile pressing. The original always had a "sheen" to it that I found hard to take. It was think and hard sounding, especially on the live tracks. This new version doesn't completely get rid of that on the live cuts but it is much more filled in than before. Probably just the live mike feed and the nature of the original recording, it is live after all. However the studio cuts are now big and bold and beautiful sounding. A nice transformation over the original, and I always loved this album.

So it seems this is how it is going to have to be for a while. With everything going on at home it seems that I have been managing to get in a lot of listening time (unfortunatley in smaee spurts, but listening none the less) but I don't seem to be able to put together time to post as well as listen. So here I am playing catch-up with a few days worth of posts. (Oh well, beats not listening at all.)

Gene,

Why don't you just get some cheap lamp cord type wire from Home Depot or Rat Shack just to the run out to the deck. No, it won't be the ultimate quality, but it will get you tunes out on the deck. And I'm sure no matter how badly it mangles the signal, it will still beat the heck out of puttingxa boombos out there on table.

  Cool 8)  No room boundries make for nice sound. Speaking of speaker cables the one's used at Petes were in wall shielded commercial wire. Cannot remember the brand, I need to ask Pete what they are.

Our 19 year old daughter has a 19 year old friend who has been staying with us a couple nights the past few weeks. She likes much of the adult/college radio alternative music I enjoy: Fiona Apple, the XX, Freelance Whales, Feist, Grace Potter, Peter Gabriel...I've been sharing music and opening her eyes.

Last night she said, "I like jazz...I think"

So I started easy, Pat Metheny's American Garage and Still Life Talking, then some Bruford's Earthworks, Grover Washington Then and Now, Miles Davis Kind of Blue, Coltrane Giant Steps, and finally several cuts from Monk. Heady stuff for a college freshman.

"Now I KNOW I like jazz." she said.  "Can we do this again next week?"

Jerome - Were the Firebird and the Bordin both 45 RPMs as well? The London Ansermets are some of my all time favorites. I have the King Records Super Analogue pressings of Amsermet doing Scheherazade and Pictures at an Exhibition both of which have long been on my desert island disc list. I'm hoping that one or both of them gets reissued by ORG.  [-o<

Jerome - Were the Firebird and the Bordin both 45 RPMs as well?

They are original London pressings, Tom.  I recently acquired a small minty collection of London ffss originals for not a lot of money and these were among them.

My approach to the London 45 RPM reissues is that I will buy them if I don't already have a minty original or a high quality reissue on 180g vinyl.  One of the ORG 45 London reissues (Espana) was pressed by Speakers Corner on 180g vinyl on a Decca reissue.  I already own the latter and it is definitely a showcase quality recording.  But it isn't something I play very frequently, so I passed on buying the 45.

This is a ORG reissue on two 45 RPM 180g LPs.  The performance and the recording took my breath away.  Tom, if you're a fan of De Falla you owe it to yourself to hear this one.  Highly recommended!

British Rock

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31G7ZRTW2SL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) CD

These songs may be by the original Artists, but they are not the original recordings. Rather they are new recordings and arrangements done by a bunch of aging British rockers. Pass this one by. (and I am very glad I only paid 49 cents for it.)

Tom I got snagged by a CD like this 20 years ago. Since then I always read the fine print on the back  :lol:

You're right and I usually do, but in the frenzy of the 49 cent sale I was just tossing into the basket anything that might have been remotely interesting and this one slipped by me. Had I noticed the phrase "All New Stereo Recordings" in the fine print I would have tossed it back. But I heard about the sale at the last minute and had to make it a quick run through in order to make it to work on time. Like I said.. it was only 49 cents.

Good to see you here Steve. I hope you will become a regular contributor to our little corner of the web. I have learned about so much good music through the sharing we do on this thread.

Glad to hear that the cart setup went well. Now what you need to do is leave it alone and just enjoy it for a while.  After you have about 100 hours on it go back in and check that nothing has changed as the cartridge suspension broke in and do any final fine tuning. But for right now just sit back and enjoy the ride! Go back to your collection and pull out some LPs you haven't listened to in a while and you will probably be amazed at how much better that sound than what you had remembered.  :thumb:

Bill as per your request here is a pic of the new rack. Just for reference the entire unit is 53" wide and 78" high. As I mentioned before each shelf is 50" wide and there are 4 shelves for LPs and on smaller one for Books, Magazines etc.

A bit earlier in the year we were chatting on one of the threads about racks and I mentioned that Ikea made a nice bookshelf systems that a lot of guys were using for record storage. At the time I couldn't remember the name of the model I ran across it today. It is line of bookshelves is called Expedit and they come in various sizes. They are really not all that expensive and I have seen photos of them in peoples homes and the shelves show very little drooping even when fully loaded with records. Further info here:

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80208652


Which shelf houses the UK pressings of Black Sabbath Tom

Believe it or not I don't have any UK Black Sabbath LPs.  :shock:

However; I did find this at the library last weekend:

The Essential Ozzy Osbourne

I bought this record over a month ago.  This original Columbia 6 Eye LP had no shrink wrap.  The jacket looked pretty nice but it wasn't pristine; there were mild signs of ring wear.  But what was inside was a rare find indeed.  The LP was still sealed in the original poly bag with the genuine Columbia Stereo Fildelity markings on it.  Now, sealed vintage LPs are not guarantees of perfection.  It is only a guarantee that the record has not been played.  I have had a few disappointments with some sealed vintage LPs.  I had an original Contemporary pressing of a great Shelly Manne recording that was loaded with pressing defects and was probably better suited for the land fill than a turntable.  The truely great news with this Ellington record is that there were no defects at all, and it was a rare privilege listening to this virgin record.  Anyone who likes female vocals owes it themselves to hear the fantastic Mahalia Jackson sing.  And of course it is Ellington, with Cat Anderson and Ray Nance doing much of the featured soloing.

Emerson, bracketed on one side by Chinatown/NEMC where I worked, on other side by Park Plaza hotel which used to be the Statler Hilton where I spent a few summers as a bellhop, then across the Common to Beacon Hill and Suffolk University where I got my MBA.

Well I for one am excited about the prospect of you going on a Jazz tear. I have pick up all kinds of good info from your postings on classical stuff and as a result been introduced to a whole bunch of really good albums that I probably never would have looked at otherwise (as well as several that I have seen many times and kust looked past.) I can't wait to see what I find based on your jazz posts.  :drool:

This album comes from the MFSL Sinatra Capitol Recordings set and it was an extremely nice buy.  I snagged it on eBay about 5 years ago.  The seller had very little feedback and the starting price of $300 did not attract any bidders.  He did not have a lot of details in his listing and the pictures only showed that the case had a few minor scuffs on it but was otherwise in nice condition.  I asked him a few questions and based on his answers I decided to take a chance.  I was the only bidder and got it for $300 plus $35 shipping.  The records were virtually unplayed.  I think Acoustic Sounds has one of these sets available and their asking price is $1,400.

I scored one of those sets at a record show about 20 years ago. Great collection, Great SQ.

I saw the same $1400 price on Chad's web site and was absolutely shocked.  (I'm embarassed to tell you what I paid for mine. It was the end of the day at a very lightly attended show  and the guy was just about giving stuff away so he didn't have to pack it out to his car in the pouring rain. I of course was only too happy to help him out.  :thumb:

Rich,

I was looking through the LPs at the Crack House today and what did I come across but......

(http://brunchbird.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/tina_the_ballerina.jpg)

The cover was absolutely mint so I excitedly picked it up, planning on shipping it down to you so you would have a spare, just in case something happened to your daughter's favorite LP. However; my excitement turned to gloom when I looked at the LP and both sides had  deep scratches in them, rendering the LP absolutely useless.

I was thinking of you buddy, but this time it just didn't work out.  :(

That is certainly true enough.  Most of the really great deals I got I wasn't particularly looking for.  I might be at a yard sale and unexpectedly find something especially interesting and rare.  I might not shop expressly for that record at a dealer because of inflated prices but would jump at the chance to buy it cheap.  You have to settle for market prices if you want it now and it is something of a collectible.

My general attitude towards folks who landed something for cheap that I paid a hefty price for is that it's all good.  We both got a copy.  The fact that someone else may have scored theirs for much less than I paid doesn't diminish the value it has to me.  If I didn't feel the record was worth it then I wouldn't have forked over the cash for it in the first place.  I could spend the rest of my life trying to find the same insane deal someone else had and never get it.  If I really want a record and it's important to me, then I would rather pay the money and enjoy it now.  I still buy records mostly to listen to, rather than just to have.

That is certainly true enough.  Most of the really great deals I got I wasn't particularly looking for.  I might be at a yard sale and unexpectedly find something especially interesting and rare.  I might not shop expressly for that record at a dealer because of inflated prices but would jump at the chance to buy it cheap.  You have to settle for market prices if you want it now and it is something of a collectible.

My general attitude towards folks who landed something for cheap that I paid a hefty price for is that it's all good.  We both got a copy.  The fact that someone else may have scored theirs for much less than I paid doesn't diminish the value it has to me.  If I didn't feel the record was worth it then I wouldn't have forked over the cash for it in the first place.  I could spend the rest of my life trying to find the same insane deal someone else had and never get it.  If I really want a record and it's important to me, then I would rather pay the money and enjoy it now.  I still buy records mostly to listen to, rather than just to have.

Well put, I couldn't agree more.

The Jersey Barrier- Steady Pace in the Slow Lane

Another from the haul of surplus promotional CDs at WUSC-FM. Quiet and introspective, yet melodic and engaging.  Intimate folk-rock, featuring male and female lead vocalists who sing together and apart, in no hurry to get to their destination, just enjoying the ride.  My wife says it is "sad" music. Worth checking out.

One of the finest jazz trombonists to ever play the instrument.  Teagarden recorded with the likes of Louis Armstrong, Bix Beiderbecke, and Frankie Trumbauer in the 1920s.  His lyricism on the trombone was never equaled.  If you don't have this fine LP do yourself a big favor and find a copy.

Do you know the mamamama trick?  Wait until he is really pissed. Then gently tap the back of your finger on his mouth when he is crying to make a very entertaining mamamama sound. They don't really like that, but it turns crying time into playtime for the parents. Do not overdo it or you might find him doing it to you in about 50 years.

The cover was absolutely mint so I excitedly picked it up, planning on shipping it down to you so you would have a spare, just in case something happened to your daughter's favorite LP. However; my excitement turned to gloom when I looked at the LP and both sides had  deep scratches in them, rendering the LP absolutely useless.

I was thinking of you buddy, but this time it just didn't work out.  :(

The Pretty Things ~ S.F. Sorrow   1968

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61rf%2BTnbKtL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

S.F. Sorrow is the title of a 1968 LP by the British rock group The Pretty Things.

One of the first rock concept albums, S.F. Sorrow was based on a short story by singer-guitarist Phil May. The album is structured as a song cycle, telling the story of the main character, Sebastian F. Sorrow, from birth through love, war, tragedy, madness, and the disillusionment of old age.
Although the album is a rock opera, it has been stated by members of The Who that the record had no major influence on Pete Townshend and his writing of Tommy (1969). The Pretty Things, however, have suggested otherwise, as have some critics over the years.
Recording began at Abbey Road Studios in November 1967 with work on "Bracelets of Fingers." Two tracks that had been earmarked for the album, "Talking About the Good Times" and "Walking Through My Dreams," were instead released as a single in February 1968.

I saw Claude Bolling with Larry Coryell at the Bottom Line in NYC around 1986 or 87.  They played "Suite for Piano and Jazz Guitar."  He also performed "Flute" with a flautist doctoral candidate from NYU.  Not Rampal, but very good and entertaining.

This album sounds so great on my little stereo - Thanks BISL! Sol's bitchin 60W killer amp is a big part of it, and all JPS wires, and a great DAC, but I am amazed how good these little Infinity Entra 1s sound, especially in the bass. They are small bookshelfs made of cheap pressboard and electro caps, tiny little coils and cement resistors, with a reflex port. But they have the CMMD drivers (Ceramic Metal Matrix Driver) which have incredible stiffness and dynamics. I think I am just used to their flaws by now, but I really enjoy listening to music through them, at least with these upstream components.

Pink Floyd: The Wall

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51%2Bf2LUhSfL._SL500_AA280_.jpg) Gold HDCD

This is kind of a strange release of The Wall. It is a 2 CD set of HDCD encoded gold discs imported from China (I would not be surprised if it was bootlegged and not an authorized release.) The first disc contains the entire performance of The Wall on a single CD while the second disc is like a greatest hits compilation of other Pink Floyd stuff. Even though it is (allegedly) HDCD and pressed on gold discs the SQ is not particularly any better than a standard CD issue of the same music (although it is not really any worse either.) Having many other discs that are were given the HDCD or the gold treatment this is not what you would normally expect. And whomever mastered this disc forgot to turn off the option to insert an automatic 3 second pause between tracks so unlike the original release where the songs just flow into each other this one has many long ad unnatural pauses in it.
That said when taking it out to the car it is rather handy to have the whole album on one disc so this has become my traveling copy of the album. That and the fact that I didn't pay a lot for this copy so if it got stolen or destroyed in the car I wouldn't be all that upset.)

My kids just love the cover. The track listings are printed in Chinese with broken English translations under them. Their favorite is Comfortably Numb which is translated as "Come Fartly Nom."

Complete Columbia Studio Recordings
Miles Davis, Gil Evans | Format: mp3

Disk 2.

It's strange, but in a good way, hearing Miles in front of Gil Evans full orchestra. Occasionally he's in danger of disappearing into the brass section, but usually you can tell Miles is in the mix.

Well, since the surface noise on the LVB disk was a problem, threw on this which I bought new in Chicago last month and only played once or twice.

Goegeous piano notes and bass is right there. Not sure about the drumming, the snare seems odd, but that may be the way it was recorded.

Oh man, half way through the title track, the bass is soloing, this is nice.

Hank Mobley

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51HXKrjlsOL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) LP

Well this is the LP we all discussed that sold recently for $3600 on ebay (for an orginal deep groove copy), so when I saw this sealed copy at DDs I just had to give it a go. This copy is a 150g reissue and unfortunately both the cover and the record label are exact repilcas of the original issue so there is no indication of who out out this version. Nice SQ, good quality vinyl and of course the music and the performance is first rate. While it is not $3600 worth of music (of course remember that was a collector's price for a 1st edition), this reissue was a steal at $11.

WHat is OBI?

An Obi (帯, おび, , literally "sash") is a sash for traditional Japanese dress. From the point of view of records an OBI is usually found on a Japanese pressing of an American (or any other non--Japanese album)  and is about a 2" wide strip of paper that goes around the LP Cover and is used to provide information about the album for the Japanese speaking consumer (At least that's what I assume it is since I don't speak or read Japanese." The OBI is the blue strip can be seen along the left hand side of the LP cover pictured below and there is usually more Japanese writing on the back side as well. Having the original OBI, in good condition, increased the value of a Japanese pressing on the collectors market.

They also get in the way if you are trying to open a gateway cover. As someone who is more intersted in the contents than the physical media or packaging itself. I also consider them more of a nuisance than anything else. But the  are evidently important to collectors. I personally could care less and am all to happy to pay a cheaper price for a Japanese import that is missing the OBI.  8)

I am of the opinion that Count Basie was a little overproduced after his Decca and Columbia periods.  I don't think the music he was recording in the 1950s for Roulette and Verve has the fire and spontineity of the material he did with Lester Young in the late 1930s and early 1940s.  But then, that is really the big difference between early and later Basie -- the Pres.  It isn't as though I don't like the later stuff.  April in Paris is a fine album to be sure, as are other early recordings for Verve.  I find the Roulette material a little less compelling, but still enjoyable.  Basie would start a decline in the 1960s with a lot of forgettable recordings but would find a calling again in the twilight of his career on Pablo, again with Norman Granz.

(http://www.recordsale.org/cdpix/t/tchaikovsky-concerto_no.1.._rubinstein._boston_symph_orch._leinsdorf.jpg) (http://RCA Dynagroove LP)

The SQ in this LP was not up to the standards I have come to expect from the RCA LSC series. The orchestral image seemed kind of compressed inspace and somewhat congested. I know that many people have talked down about the Dynagroove pressings in terms of SQ so I am not sure if it is the pressing that is causing the problem of if the congestion is part of the original recording itself. Does anyone out there have a CD pressing of this recording (it was done in 1963) and if so does the CD exhibit the same kind of image congestion?

Put on new Dynavector cartridge and now relistening to everything vinyl I listened to over last few days. Hendrix and Ronstadt sounded better, cleaner, but a little stiff. Now on this, I think cart. is loosening up, both ladies voices sound fine, guitars very nice, bass not as deep as with MM cart, but not as boomy and bloated either.

Gene,
A new cart like that needs a good 25 hours for the suspension to loosen up. After this initial time be sure to check all of your algiments again as the cantiliver position can change as the supension breaks in.

Walt Disney's Fantasia - Stokowski/The Philadelphia Orchestra

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/619mBVyaRsL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) 3 LP Set w/ 24 Page Full Color Program

1957 Stereo release taken from the photographic film soundtrack recording. SQ is not great, but the performances are wonderful.

From the LP cover:
"The recording of Fantasia was a pioneering effort in multichannel stereophonic recording. Compared with today's modern equipment and techniques, our tools were crude and our theories unproved. Photographic film, with its inherent high noise level and other limitations, was the only suitable recording medium. In 1939, when the music for this motion picture was recorded, the results were considered sensational and seldom, if ever, has the marriage between picture and sound been so complete."

The beautiful 24 page 12"x12" program was worth ther price I paid for the whole thing.
Title: Re: What are you listening to right now?
Post by: tmazz on June 24, 2011, 11:43:57 PM
OK, I went to the back wall and pulled out the CD set I had of the Fantasia soundtrack.
 
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41gdH4mq9FL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Turns out that this is a new digital recording made by an "all-star" orchestra of "concertmasters and star performers from the finest symphony orchestras in the world" chosen and conducted by Irwin Kostal. While the SQ is much better than the original recording, Kostal is no Stokowski and the performance does no match that of the original.

Just for kicks I pulled the Fantasia 2000 soundtrack out.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/514QQ7E5T8L._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

This soundtrack was recorded by James Levine and the Chicago Symphony. There is one track that is common to all three recordings, Paul Dukas' "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" . In addition to having better SQ, the Levine performance is just a much better reading than Kostal's (which was supposed to be based on the Stokowski performance, but doesn't come close.

I am wondering if this has something to do with the fact that both the Stokowski and the Levine recordings were made with currently sitting orchestras while the Kostal recording was made with a group of musicians who although they were all supposed to be very talented, were assembled specifically for this one recording. Could it be that just like in sports having a group of athletes (or in this case musicians) who can function as a cohesive team is far more important than the sum of the individual talents of the group?

Artie Traum: Cayenne

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ThRX08rQL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) LP

From Amazon:
"In contrast to Artie's earlier folk-oriented Rounder albums, "Cayenne" explores the jazz side of New Acoustic Music. Artie's acoustic guitars and original compositions are supported by Larry Hoppen, Jay Ungar, Rick Derringer, and others, allowing his musicianship to shine on record as never before."

I agree, nice album and well worth the $1 I paid for it.

Link Wray is probably most responsible for rock guitar evolving into what it would eventually become.  More top rock guitarists cite him as an influence than any other player.  More than Chuck Berry, more than Jimi Hendrix, more than Page, more than Clapton, more than anyone.  This double LP from Sundazed gathers all of Link Wray's singles on Swan.  These are lo-fi, garage rock recordings so they won't be something to show off your zillion dollar speaker system.  But it is awesome rock and roll that no self respecting rock fan should be without.  Highly recommended.

Sure do.  :D

Did you pick up the SACD Hybrid or the straight up CD?

How was the software selection at the show? From what I saw on the vendor list it didn't look like there were very many music dealers going to be there.

I remember during the last Stereophile show at the Penta Hotel there was a big problem with the state and tales tax. The show itself had a sales tax number and all of the vendors were working under the assumption that any taxes owed for sales made at the should could be paid through that central number. On Friday afternoon the state tax department showed up and went from room to room demanding that every vendor open up either open up their own tax account with NYS or stop selling any goods at the show. Since they would not be doing any retail sales in NYS outside of the three days of that show most of the vendors wanted no part of the accounting work that would be involved in having their own NYS Tax number. As a result there were numerous rooms that had small odds and ends like tweaks, cables, CDs etc. that they brought to sell but couldn't.

(http://indierockfan.net/pics/DukeEllington_BluesInOrbit.jpg)

I recently snagged nearly all of Duke Ellington's 1950s releases on minty original Columbia 6 Eye mono pressings.  This is a big deal for me.  Most of these albums were originally recorded and mixed in mono.  Blues in Orbit had seperate stereo and mono mixes, being recorded in late 1958 and early 1959.  I have the Classic Records 200g reissue and the Classic Records 45 RPM 180g reissue of this title, both of which are in stereo.  On the reissues there is a tiny imperfection near the end of C Jam Blues on side one, almost like a tape splice.  It is hard to hear unless you are listening for it.  The reissues sound really nice and I am happey to have them, so don't get me wrong.  But I have long wanted these albums in mono to compare.  This particular original 6 Eye sample is absolutely perfect.  It has new vinyl shine on both sides.  The labels are like new.  The sound is truely spectacular, and the C Jam Blues blip on the reissues is not present on this original pressing.  The jacket is very nice with no seam splits and only a little bit of discoloration.  I paid $18 for this record and would have happily paid a lot more for it.

I recently snagged nearly all of Duke Ellington's 1950s releases on minty original Columbia 6 Eye mono pressings.  This is a big deal for me. 

Hey, I think that this would have been a big deal for any of us. Nice find.  :drool:

Just be careful about what you pick up. There is a lot a dreadful sounding Ella discs out there. If you stick with the major labels (especially Verve) you are pretty safe, but when you get into those no-name discs there are a lot of stinkers with SQ that sounds like an old rock concert bootleg. Some decent stuff on the small labels but but you have to sort past the cr@p. If you find some no-name record label discs in a place like DDs be sure to take a minute and throw them on the audition TT and give a listen before laying out money for them.

Happy hunting.  :thumb:

Well, I am a big Fiedler fan so it takes a lot for me to say this, but this record is a piece of cr@p. It is the worst SQ of anything I have ever heard from the Boston Pops. And I am not talking about bad relative to other things the Pops has done. I'm talking bad, period. Strings so shrill that I couldn't listen to more than two songs for fear that my ears were going to start to bleed. Run, do not walk away from this one.

Might be one that Feidler did not want to do and chose to have minimal influence on the project. Is polydor his usual label? Or it could just be a different producer than the other records you like. Is the producer listed?

From Wikipedia:

"With Fiedler's direction, the Boston Pops reportedly made more recordings than any other orchestra in the world, most of them for RCA Victor, with total sales of albums, singles, tapes, and cassettes exceeding $50 million. His recordings began in July 1935 at Boston's Symphony Hall with RCA, including a world premiere recording of Jacob Gade's Jalousie, which eventually sold more than a million copies, and the first complete recording of Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin (with Jesús Maria Sanromá as soloist). In 1946, he conducted the Boston Pops in one of the first American recordings devoted to excerpts from a film score, Dmitri Tiomkin's music for the David O. Selznick Technicolor epic Duel in the Sun; RCA Victor released an album of ten-inch 78-rpm discs complete with photographs from the film. In 1942, he married Ellen Bottomley, and they had three children: Johanna, Deborah, and Peter.

Fiedler's June 20, 1947, recording of Gaîté Parisienne by Jacques Offenbach was eventually released by RCA as their very first long-playing classical album (RCA Victor LM-1001), in 1950. He recorded the same music in 1954 in stereo and began making regular stereo recordings in 1956. A number of Fiedler's recordings were released as 45-rpm "extended play" discs, beginning in 1949, such as Tchaikovsky's Marche Slave and Ketèlbey's In a Persian Market (RCA Victor ERA-2). Besides recording light classics, Fiedler also recorded music from Broadway shows and Hollywood film scores, as well as arrangements of popular music, especially the Beatles. He and the Boston Pops occasionally recorded classical works that were favorites, but not considered as "light" as most of the pieces that he conducted. He made but a single recording with the Boston Symphony Orchestra: Dvorak's New World Symphony. There were also recordings of chamber music by his Sinfonietta. Fiedler and the Boston Pops recorded exclusively for RCA Victor until the late 1960s, when they switched to Deutsche Grammophon for classical releases with co-owned Polydor Records for his arrangements of pop music compositions and then London Records. His last album, devoted to disco, was titled Saturday Night Fiedler."

The Wikipedia article is actally wrong Fiedler's last recording was not Saturday Night Fiedler, but rather a drect to disc recording of Cappriccio Italien/Espangnol for Crystal Clear Records.

While the RCA recordings were generally way above average on the SQ scale (especially the ones from the Living Stereo "Shaded Dog" era) The DG and Polydor albums were hit or miss with most of them being fair to average.

I would like to do something a little different with the balance of this weekend.  I'd like to play a little game with my fellow AN members.  Let's call it...

The Unofficial AN 4th of July Weekend Vinyl Challenge

The rules are simple.

1. Must be vinyl.
2. Must be something that has not been on your turntable in a while.  I want people to dig a little into their collections.
3. Original pressings only.  No reissues or audiophile pressings.
4. The more rare or obscure the better.  So please, don't dust off your copy of Wish You Were Here.

The last one should be easy for Bill.  Practically every record he plays is from a band I never heard of.  :rofl:  Either that speaks very highly of the depth of Bill's record library or very poorly of my knowledge of music.

Let me start things off.  I really hope you guys will join me since this could be a lot of fun.

(http://www.indierockfan.net/pics/Minutemen_Buzz.jpg)

I'm a huge fan of the Minutemen and consider D. Boon one of the greatest punk songwriters and guitarists since Mick Jones of The Clash.  I don't much care for punk rock that brings nothing more than angst and rebellion to the table, it needs to do something interesting musically as well.  Not many punk bands did that.  The Clash did, the Ramones did, X did, and so did the Minutemen.

This record is an EP issued by SST records in 1983.  It was pressed on a 12" 45RPM LP and included 8 songs.  That might sound like it's close to LP length but most punk rock songs were short, typically clocking in at around 2 minutes or less.  What makes this particular record special to me is that I picked it up 5 years ago at a record store in Cambridge, MA (don't recall which one).  It was an original SST pressing that was still sealed.  I bought it for $5.  The first time this record has been on my turntable is...just now.  Great record, great music.  Now I'm off to the basement to dig up something else.

What a great record.  I feel a little guilty that I haven't played it in a few years.  I think that Michel Petrucciani was one of the most gifted jazz pianists of his generation.  This performance with Jim Hall and Wayne Shorter at the Montreux jazz festival is stunning.  Great music and incredible musicianship.  If you don't have this record you should make some effort to find yourself a copy.  This LP and 100 Hearts are two records that belong in every jazz lover's collection.

I can't even remember the last time I spun this record.  I had completely forgotten how much I like this band, especially Thalia Zedek.  I've followed her career rather closely, from her time in Uzi, Live Skull, Come, and her solo work.  She's an extremely talented artist.

This album is from Jim O'Rourke and is titled Eureka.  I think he's close to a musical genius.  He's a great composer, skilled songwriter, superb guitarist, and something of a visionary.  He's closely associated with indie and post-rock, and has close ties to the rock avant garde.  Eureka is not an experimental freakout.  On the contrary, it is a delightfully relaxed collection of chamber pop tunes.  Great stuff.

Did I ever have one helluva boyhood crush on Judy Garland.  I'm sure I wasn't the only one.  It would be years later that I would explore her musical talents in depth, and now I have every recording she did for Capitol records.  Original pressings of this LP are getting pretty scarce, though reissues are still fairly abundant.  This 1957 record is all about aloneness, as the title suggests.  Gordon Jenkins is the arranger and conductor.  There is a lot of great music here, but the tune Just A Memory has some special appeal.  The only other recording of this song that I have was done as an instrumental by Johnny Hodges on the record Side by Side that he did with Duke Ellington.

(http://www.indierockfan.net/pics/FrankSinatra_Watertown.jpg)

Watertown, a 1969 release on Reprise, is a major departure from what most of us have come to expect from Frank Sinatra.  It's a concept album that tells a story, with lonliness and love lost as its central themes.  I first heard this record about four years ago when I found a sealed copy on eBay.  Despite the album receiving critical acclaim I didn't much care for it.  For me it was too much of a detour from what I had come to appreciate in the music of Sinatra, and Watertown is a depressing record that fills the listener with a sense of hopelessness.  The arrangements don't particularly work for me either, and strike me as a failed effort to marry Sinatra's vocal style with contemporary light pop along the lines of Burt Bacharach.  I used the vinyl challenge to give this record a second chance, and my impressions of it haven't really changed.  I doubt the album will ever get another spin on my turntable.  If you want storytelling in a pop/rock music wrapper then look to Harry Chapin for that.  Sinatra's best music was in the late 1940s on Columbia, in the 1950s and early 1960s on Capitol, and a handful of his early records on Reprise in the mid 1960s.

The name of the group is Labradford.  The title of the album is Mi Meia Naranja.  This is ambient post-rock at its best, cut from a mold similar to that of Explosions in the Sky and Godspeed You Black Emperor.  The languid droning guitars create a serene, contemplative soundscape.

Music just doesn't get any more aggressive than Swans.  Their noise-drenched industrial grind even outdoes Throbbing Gristle.  This record is a 12" single.  Side one is cut at 45RPM and side two has two tracks cut at 33RPM.  It's really wild stuff, and I won't even play Swans while the wife is in the house.  She's at work this morning, and as I was thumbing through the shelf on one of my vinyl racks I came across this record and decided now was a good time to revisit it.  In small doses early Swans is great...but I wouldn't want a steady diet of it.

Watertown, a 1969 release on Reprise, is a major departure from what most of us have come to expect from Frank Sinatra.  It's a concept album that tells a story, with lonliness and love lost as its central themes.  I first heard this record about four years ago when I found a sealed copy on eBay.  Despite the album receiving critical acclaim I didn't much care for it.  For me it was too much of a detour from what I had come to appreciate in the music of Sinatra, and Watertown is a depressing record that fills the listener with a sense of hopelessness.  The arrangements don't particularly work for me either, and strike me as a failed effort to marry Sinatra's vocal style with contemporary light pop along the lines of Burt Bacharach.  I used the vinyl challenge to give this record a second chance, and my impressions of it haven't really changed.  I doubt the album will ever get another spin on my turntable.  If you want storytelling in a pop/rock music wrapper then look to Harry Chapin for that.  Sinatra's best music was in the late 1940s on Columbia, in the 1950s and early 1960s on Capitol, and a handful of his early records on Reprise in the mid 1960s.

I would like to do something a little different with the balance of this weekend.  I'd like to play a little game with my fellow AN members.  Let's call it...

The Unofficial AN 4th of July Weekend Vinyl Challenge

The rules are simple.

1. Must be vinyl.
2. Must be something that has not been on your turntable in a while.  I want people to dig a little into their collections.
3. Original pressings only.  No reissues or audiophile pressings.
4. The more rare or obscure the better.  So please, don't dust off your copy of Wish You Were Here.

The last one should be easy for Bill.  Practically every record he plays is from a band I never heard of.  :rofl:  Either that speaks very highly of the depth of Bill's record library or very poorly of my knowledge of music.


Professor Longhair --- however this one is a 1974 Blue Star Recording, Barclay Records, Made in France.

Then Play On is the last Fleetwood Mac album with Peter Green.  I think it is their best early album, though English Rose is a close second.  This record was issued on the Reprise label in 1969, and it's getting a little expensive on the collector market.  I bought my minty copy years ago for a just a few bucks.

It took a certain degree of courage for me to even admit that I like this record.  I don't really know why.  Lyrically the songs are totally insipid.  Musically, well let's just say that I don't normally go for this sort of thing.  Anyone who has seen a Wang Chung music video would probably agree that these guys look like a couple of doofuses -- heirs to the throne of the kingdom of nerds.  And that's being rather charitable.  Some of their songs sound like fairly blatant rip offs of Michael Jackson.  But one thing that Wang Chung does really well is strike up a dancable beat with an infectious groove.  Ok...I'll go hide under a rock for a bit.

Don't sweat it. Based on the demographic here at AN, you were aged somewhere between 16 and 28 when Wang Chung were at their peak.  Those are the years when pop (even not so good pop) has the most influence.  A song reminds you of an incident, a moment, a time, a place or just a feeling, but it will stay with you and pull you back to the memory.  If you were alive in the '80's and at all involved in American culture, you couldn't avoid Wang Chung.

The first time I ever heard my beloved B&W 802's, they were being abused by "Dance Hall Days."

My guilty pleasure: George Michael's "Faith." Brilliant pop from beginning to end.

Sorry guys, I guess I don't get to play in this weekend's challenge. I am stuck out at the Hospice and limited to listening to the CDs they have on hand  on the all-in-one $89 system in the family lounge. No vinyl for me right now. But they actually have a number of decent CDs in the collection, so while the fidelity is not great, at least the music is, and that is at least something to help me chill out a bit.

The Legendary Bobby Darin

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41zmuD9M5sL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) CD

All of the Bobby Darin albums I have at home cover only the Rock/Pop Top 40 type things he did. This disc also contain a lot of the music that the performed in his later years that was more like Frank Sinatra than Chubby Checker. I had never listened to any of this before and it is actually rather well done (from a musical standpoint anyway. I can't comment on the SQ went listening on a system that cost less than any one of my power cords.  :duh - although I did listen for a bit through my Grado SR-60 headphones plugged into my laptop and it did not sound horrible, so there is hope.  [-o<)

Don't sweat it.  I came up with the idea mainly because I don't have much of a life outside of work and spent most of the holiday weekend on the job.  So I was in my home office much of the time.  I was fairly certain that most of you guys had more important things to do, and I pretty much gave up on it when it seemed that I was the only one playing.  No biggie.  I think it was a good idea...just bad timing to try it over a holiday weekend when people had other things to do.

This original 1964 Wand mono pressing is in surprisingly nice shape all things considered.  The vinyl has excellent luster.  There is a light sleve scuff on side one that doesn't affect play.  I noticed two very light clicks on side two.  The sound is excellent.

Judging from the cover you might get the impression that this is some long lost 1950s Arnett Cobb gem, what with the original David Stone Martin artwork.  Not so.  The sessions for this album were recorded in 1980 in New York and the record was released on the Progressive label in 1981.  This means that the vinyl the record was pressed on is quite thin.  But it sounds pretty darned good.  This is a loose, swingin' session where Cobb feels right at home.  As an elder statesmen of jazz he still had the fire.

Have you had a chance to compare the SQ on the vinyl vs the CD releases. I thought the Love CD was very good and have hesitated on getting the vinyl because I think the whole album flows really nicely I had a hunch that getting up to flip the records would break that flow.

I second that question.

I wish I could offer you guys some insight, but I don't own the CD.  I only recently bought the vinyl, and all I can say is that I was very impressed by the sound (speaking as a beatlemaniac I doubt that this has any special significance).

I am trying very hard to get away from double dipping.  Sometimes it's a struggle just to find time to listen to records.  The last thing I need is both a record and a CD of the same music that I don't have time to enjoy.

There are very few releases where I would buy music issued on CD first and then again on vinyl later because it did not come out day and date with the CD.  This might be one of those releases.

I know if they ever get around to reissuing the Beatles remasters on vinyl I am in so fast it will make your head spin.  Who cares that I bought both the stereo and mono boxed sets on CD.  This is the Beatles.  AND THIS IS THE BEATLES ON VINYL!! for cryin' out loud.  :rofl:

This OOP boxed set collects all of the recordings that Lester Young made for Verve on 8 CDs.  It's a real shame that Young seems to have fallen off the playlists of a lot of jazz fans.  He just isn't talked about as much as Charlie Parker or John Coltrane, and I think he was more important to jazz than either.  Some folks feel that I give Young too much credit.  But when I listen to the late 1930s stuff with Basie and the recordings he did for Aladdin and Savoy I think a lot of that work predicted bop.  Parker himself said that Young was a huge influence on him.  Paul Quinichette was refered to as the Vice Prez because his playing recalled the style of Young.  I can't think of a single tenor player in the 1950s and 60s who wasn't deeply influenced by him.  I think when the term Jazz Giant was coined it was with Lester Young in mind.  This set on Verve, the Complete Lester Young Aladdin Recordings (on Blue Note), and the Complete Lester Young Savoy Recordings are essential jazz listening.

This pairs the Ahmad Jamal Trio with a string orchestra.  A number of noted jazz musicans back in the day made a big deal of recording with a string section: Charlie Parker and Ben Webster both did recordings with strings.  It can work, depending on the arragements and the selection of tunes.  But for me none of these records would be my first choice.  I only picked this album up because I am an Ahmad Jamal completist and want every vinyl LP that he recorded for Argo.  A few of the selections are great, but songs such as Ahmad's Blues just don't sound right and the string orchestra is more of a distraction than anything else.

Hey Jerome, I have LOVE on CD and DVD-A, I'll send it to you if you want to cross listen.

Gene

Gene was kind enough to loan me his digital copy of Love, both on CD and DVD-A.  I did not listen to them both in their entirety...but I did compare CD, DVD-A, and vinyl on the following tracks:

I am the Walrus
Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!
Here Comes the Sun
Come Together
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
A Day in the Life

The sonics on all three were very, very close to each other.  The vinyl was a tad more open with a smidgen more air in the upper frequencies.  The CD and DVD-A had a tiny bit more bottom end.  I really cannot say that one categorically sounded better than another.  I doubt that a critical listener would be able to find fault with any of them.

If you already own the vinyl version the only incentives to buy the digital is that you want a copy for the car or if you have a multichannel setup and want to hear it in 5.1.  I'm strictly a two channel guy, and to listen to the DVD-A tracks on a level playing field I ripped the MLP multi-track mix using DVD-A Explorer and downmixed it to stereo, converting to FLAC in the process.  I did not change the 24bit/96KHz sampling rate, just transcoded the audio from one lossless format to another since my audio player doesn't support direct playback of MLP.

While Bill has a Ph.D. in psychedelic rock, I am still working on my undergraduate degree.  :rofl:  But I do like this music a lot.  There aren't too many albums that I have listened to that are more trippy than this one.  The sound quality on this Sundazed reissue is fantastic.  I have to give them credit, Sundazed has done a fabulous job of preserving a lot of 1960s rock.  From psychedlia to garage rock and lo-fi, it is really great to be able to buy a lot of this music on quality vinyl pressings since original LPs are starting to get very expensive when you do manage to locate a decent copy.

I've grown to love Ella recently.

Just be careful about what you pick up. There is a lot a dreadful sounding Ella discs out there. If you stick with the major labels (especially Verve) you are pretty safe, but when you get into those no-name discs there are a lot of stinkers with SQ that sounds like an old rock concert bootleg. Some decent stuff on the small labels but but you have to sort past the cr@p. If you find some no-name record label discs in a place like DDs be sure to take a minute and throw them on the audition TT and give a listen before laying out money for them.

Happy hunting.  :thumb:

I missed this one from a while back and thought I would comment.  Ella recorded for three principal record labels throughout her career.  In her early days she sang as a featured vocalist with the Chick Webb Orchestra and all of those sides were recorded on Decca.  Ella continued her association with Decca when she started her solo career.  She later made the move to Verve and many of her most memorable recordings were done with Norman Granz.  The Ella Fitzgerald Song Book series was tremendously popular at the time.  Fitzgerald also made a few records for Capitol in the late 1960s.  Don't waste your time on those.  Capitol thought they were going to make a pop singer out of Fitzgerald and those records were truely awful.  In the early 1970s, and for the remainder of her recording life, she renewed her association with Norman Granz and joined him on the Pablo label.

Original Verve and Pablo pressings of many of Ella's best recordings from the LP era are fairly easy to find, though they are getting somewhat pricey.  The Decca stuff was recorded on shellac and decent 78s of Ella Fitzgerald with the Chick Webb Orchestra are getting damn expensive.  There is a 4 CD boxed set of Ella's Decca material that you can still find even though it's out of print.  And if for some reason you having trouble locating it you can buy it as an mp3 download from Amazon.com for $36.

I wasn't talking about the Capital stuff per se (although I agree that these are far less than stellar albums) but rather I was referring to the multitude of off label discs that are full of public domain many of which are perfectly awful from a SQ basis. (I think a lot of these we sound check type recordings that were never intended for public release.)

I wasn't rebutting anything you said Tom, just wanted to throw some information out there concerning which labels Ella Fitzgerald had recording contracts with.  It's hard to go wrong if you source your content from the lablel that issued the original recordings.  That's all I was getting at.

I didn't mean to imply that you were. I was trying to make the point that they were two separate issues. There are a lot of Ella CDs out there that are cheap sounding live recordings. I guess what I was trying to say is that if you stick with things released on the labels you talked about you will be pretty safe, but stray beyond Verve, Paulo and Decca and it is buyer beware.  :roll:

McCartney II

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41gcO7WDQYL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) 180g 2 LP Set

Let me start off by saying that this is the best sounding version of this album that I have heard to date, but keep in mind that on an absolute SQ scale that is not saying all that much. Not that it in any way sounds bad, but is is far d=from a sonic tour de force. The album was recoded in Paul's house Paul doing all the vocals and instruments himself with the exception of some background vocals added by Linda. (It must be tough having a 16 track 2 inch Studer tape deck in your den.  :roll: )

Anyway, the recording is what it is, and the fact that it is McCartney and that alone might be enough for many folks to pick up the LPs, however I could definitely understand how some people would rather just pick up the CDs of this one for half the price of the LP set. (I personally have no problem laying out the extra shekels for the LPs, but then again, I have never considered by self to be one of the average bears, even in audiophile circle, wow, that is a scary statement.  :shock:  :rofl:

Classic Records 200g vinyl pressing.

--Jerome

One of my biggest screw ups in audio was related to this series of Zepplin Classic LPs. My mancave was out of commission for a year or so (house construction projects) when these came out so my head was not into LPs at that point. I didn't realize how quickly they would go out of print and foolishly figured I would pick them up when the system got put back together. Well by the time that happened the production run had sold out and the prices went through the roof.  :duh

So for now I just keep hoping to find that box of Classic Records at a garage or estate sale.  [-o<

Hey, I did find a box of MoFis once, so there is always hope.........

This is probably my favorite rock LP...period.

On CD from The Complete Studio Recordings boxed set.  I know much has been written about the sound of various Led Zep CD releases.  Frankly, I think this boxed set sounds fine, but then again my enjoyment of the music doesn't hinge on the presentation of every note.  I will say that some of heavily distorted guitar work on this LP sounds a little better in an analog format (vinyl or 4-track stereo tape), but the difference is not enough to wreck my listening pleasure.  I have the entire Led Zep catalog on 200g vinyl from Classic Records in addition to all of the original vinyl pressings on Atlantic and Swan Song.  I actually prefer the Classic Records pressings to the originals, mainly because I think the bass is a little tighter on the 200g reissues and a little fatter on the originals.  But that's really just a preference thing as far as I am concerned.

I've been revisiting my youth the past few days...doing the sort of things that 50 somethings do when they have a little time on their hands.  You know, looking at pictures, recalling my high school days, and listening to music of the day.  The 1970s was a great time to be young.  I was fortunate enough to see Led Zeppelin in concert twice, the Stones a couple of times, Foghat, Frampton, Yes, Jethro Tull, Black Sabbath, Heart.  Concerts were a big part of my life back then and I've seen pretty much every major rock band of the day (though I never did see Genesis  :( ).  I was even a big fan of Kiss back then (seen them three times), but I don't think their music has stood up over the years nearly as well as other groups.

Anyway, I was looking at a number of Youtube clips of 60s and 70s rock bands and came across a few clips of the "It Might Get Loud" documentary with Jimmy Page, The Edge, and Jack White.  I've never seen it but I ordered the Blu Ray disc this morning after watching a couple of clips.

There were two different clips that really grabbed my attention: one because of a comment that someone posted and another because of what Jimmy Page was doing.

The first one is here...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODidAgdL40Y

In this clip they are talking about the song Kashmir.  One of the comments posted was:

"...the Edge is thinking, Holy f**k...I suck at guitar."

It cracked me up.  I really like The Edge's playing, and comparing him to Jimmy Page is a little unfair because they are very different kinds of guitarists.  The Edge was an innovator as was Page, but they had very different approaches to their instrument and were making different kinds of music.  But the note was still good for a chuckle.

The second clip is here...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePsHKqbdRfA

It's a short clip with Page playing the riff from "Whole Lotta Love" and it was really telling.  The Edge gets up out of his seat and both he and Jack White break into a big grin.  They aren't musicians hanging with Jimmy Page.  They are kids again, standing in the presence of greatness...and they know it.  It didn't matter that Page mis-fretted a chord.  It was a privilidge for them to be there with the guy who influenced practically every guitarist that came after him.  It reminded me of when I was 15 and Led Zeppelin was my favorite band.  If you asked 10 kids my age who they wanted to be most like I guarantee you that 9 of them would have said Jimmy Page.

Stevie Ray Vaughan: Texas Flood

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61%2Bm33fR5kL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) LP

Even though this is "only" a stock Epic pressing the SQ is top shelf. Would a 180g reissue pressing, most likely, but not by enough to make me run for my credit card. A couple of years ago I pickred up a 2 LP 180g repressing of "Couldn't Stand the Weather" and was very underwhelmed. And it was not because there was anything that bad with the 180g version, but rather because my stock pressing was just that good. Sure if I wanted to do the audiophile thing and nitpick each individual sonic characteristic I could come up with a list of things that the reissue did "better", but when you put then all together, the two versions were just marginally different and the reissue didn't really do anything to enhance my musical enjoyment of the album. And this is not an indictment of 180/200g reissues in general because there are many of them that are significantly better than the originals, but rather it is a testament to the team that put together SRV's releases for Epic, which is part of the Columbia family, which is a label that IMO was never really know for their attention to SQ (at least in the way that we as audiophiles would look at SQ). But the SRV albums that I have picked up on stack pressings have been a pleasent exception to that general rule.

The label in this LP says "Blue Note a Prduct of Liberty Records". I would think this makes this a late 60s vintage pressing since Liberty bought Blue note in '65 and the itself got bought out by United Artists in '69.

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

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Q0b-TdKcL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) MoFi 2 LP Set

Great 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 King’s music. In particular, the songs from Writer benefit from the no-nonsense production. You can literally picture King’s piano beside her, and her voice—sincere, tender, melodic—is 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."

Full Review: http://www.musicdirect.com/p-12329-carole-king-the-carnegie-hall-concert-june-18-1971-numbered-limited-edition-180g-2lp.aspx

On a personal note getting this album right now is kind of timely to me as Tapestry was my wife's favorite record and this is a live performance of (almost) the entire album.

McCartney

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51POhd0kCwL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) 2 LP Set (180g)

Although I didn't have time to go back and make a direct comparison, I got the feeling that the SQ on this album was better that that of the concurrently released 180g McCartney II set. I think this is because it is a simpler production (Both were recorder in McCartney's home on his own 2" Studer tape deck and are true solo albums with Paul playing every single instrument.) My only beef is that the second disc of bonus tracks is rather short. If they are going to go through the trouble of pressing a second LP (and charging us for it), I would think the least they could do is fill it up. (It's not like there is any shortage of McCartney material to choose from.) But that aside, it is still a very enjoyable release.

Sonny Rollins: Way Out West

(http://store.acousticsounds.com/images/medium/AAPJ_008__10726__01152009112709-8798.jpg) Analogue Productions 180g LP

Chad Kasem's Analogue Production 180g LP reissue of this classic album was sourced from the original 2 track master tape. Nothing needs to be said about the music nor the performance, which is first rate. However it has to be noted that Chad's team did an absolutely stellar job with the SQ. It is absolutely reference quality. By far the best version of Way Out west that I have ever heard. And this is only the 33 1/3 RPM version. It scares me to think what the 45 version must sound like.

I dunno.  I say bring it.  Tom has a sufficiently varied taste in music that he always seems to touch on something that ducked under my radar that may be of interest.

I only wish I had more time to post and share what I listen to.  And it looks like I will have even less time since it seems I will be doing a very large IT infrastructure migration project that will keep me tied up for two to three months.  I'm going to try to take a week off before this project kicks off...but I don't know if I will get that chance.

I have seen two, sometimes three days go by with no new posts, and there are many times when I am the only member on the boards.

On occasion I have thought about putting what I am listening to in a single post.  But since I haven't been posting much lately I don't see that it matters.  And I for one prefer to see the album art.  It is especially helpful when you are talking about original vintage pressings since the cover might look a little different from a reissue.  Sometimes the artwork will vary in not so obvious ways, even between stereo and mono pressings.

I just don't see this as a problem that needs a solution.

Just thinking out loud here.

Nobody is really right or wrong here, but here was my thinking:

1) I find having the cover art in the post very valuable because it really tends to be a memory jogger when going through the racks at the your favorite record emporium. Many times I have been flipping through the stock and a cover has caught my eye that I recognized  as something that was posted on AN that OI might want tol grab. FOr some reason at least for me, the cover art seems to stick with me better than a list of Artists/Titles.

2) That said,  if a post contains several albums and somebody hits the quote hotspot to leave a reply comment, the entire multi album post gets replicated, clogging up the thread (I guess people could always edit out the information about the albums they are not commenting on, but in my experience this does not happen all that often.)

3) While I see what Chris' is saying, it never really appeared to me as a probblem since when I sign onto Nervosa I end up scanning down the home page abd clicking on all the "new" flags as I go so by the time I get to the list at the bottom of the page I have already viewed everthing that is on the list. But I can understand how this might be an issue for people who go to the list first.

4) This also may be a self healing issue. With all of the "activity" that was going on in m y house over the last few months I reallyh did not have trhe time or energy to buy, listen and post. (Listening was my therapy and heaven forbid I stop shopping  :lol: , so the posting fell mby the wayside. ) But during that time I found quite a few good things that I wanted to share info about , so I put the new aquistions aside until I had the time to write them up. Well as of last night I was pretty much all caught up and things have setlled down to the point where I should now be able to for the most part get my listening posts up in real time.


This was just my thoughts on why I was doing things the way I did, it is not in any way meant to imply that this is the right or only way to do it. If the group wants to come up with another set of posting gudelines or standards I would be more than happy to go along.  Any ideas are welcome.

After just talking about not doing multiple album posts I am going to do one now because these CDs are all  part of a related series.

I came accros a series of jazz CDs at the Crack House from a lable called 32 Jazz. These discs are all mood themed collections of small combo acoustic jazz. They feature music from well respected jazz artists and the SQ is first rate. A lot of well done rlaxing jazz that really helped me get through the past few weeks. I have been grabbing anything I see from the series and highly recommend it. (Note: I have also seen discs from this series distributed under the Jazz Hertiage and Savoy labels)

I use the list of recent posts too, but mostly I use the New Posts link in the Quick Links toolbar.
http://www.audionervosa.com/index.php?action=unread
I put this on my browser bookmark bar. It shows only the threads that have new posts I haven't read. If I am not in the mood to read the "What are you listening to" thread, then I just ignore it and press "Mark All Posts Read" to remove it from my New Posts List.

The Listening thread has back and forth discussion and excellent record reviews so I wouldn't change anything. But I agree with Chris that it is OK to skip it unless the mood strikes. Sometimes the mood does strike and it is fun to post every record.


Savoy, huh? Bird recorded his very best tunes for them 70 years ago! I wonder if it is related at all.

Can't imagine it not being better. But I will never knoiw since I chickend out and returned it to J&R unopened. It was not that much cheaper than the AP release and Chad had his in stock, so I just went for the known quality. I have absolutely no regrets since the AP verision is most definitely top of the pile as far as SQ goes.

Looks that way. Their web site is:
http://www.savoyjazz.com/

A look at the catalog shows a lot of '50s era jazz artists, so I think the company can trace it's roots back to the Savoy of the 50s (although no doubt through a whole series of corporate takeovers since then.  :roll: )

This series looks like ity is noty longer in their current release listings, hey, there's always Amazon  (and the Crack House  :D )

One piece of good news I tripped over when looking at their web site is that on Sept 27th,  Bill Frisell is releasing a CD of his inturpurtation of 16 John Lennon tunes. I will definitely be on tghe lookout for that one.  :thumb:

I know Chad has a new plant coming on line, but Analogue Prods has been around a while so this is not from the new plant. There are a lot of audiophile type record labels made in that Chinese plant. Wouldn't it be funny if they both came off the same stampers with different labels?

That would be funny, but very unlikely.  Most Analogue Productions 180g vinyl reissues are pressed at RTI, and I am fairly certain that is where the record that Tom has was pressed.  Some of the more recent Analogue Productions releases, such as the Impulse 45RPM series and the Bill Evans 45RPM Riverside boxed set, are pressed at Pallas Records in Germany.

Jerome is correct, the AP version clearly states on the cover that it was pressed by RTI and mastered on all tube equipment.The Acoustic Sounds web site further states that it was sourced from the original two track master tape.

My concern with the Wax Time pressing was not so muchh that it was manufactured in China, but rather that I could not determine anything about the source for the mastering.

Tal Farlow - Cookin' On All Burners LP

Another pickup from the WUSC record show, my annual version of the Crack House.  LP is in remarkably good condition considering it is a radio station record.  Then again, the student-run station plays college/alternative rock.  This record probably never got a second look from any of its potential players.  

Review and info:

On the fifth of six Concord albums (a surprising amount of activity considering that he only played locally in the New England area during most of 1957-1975), the brilliant bop-based guitarist Tal Farlow performs concise renditions (none over six and a half minutes in length) of nine standards with pianist James Williams, bassist Gary Mazzaroppi, and drummer Vinnie Johnson. Highlights of the excellent straight-ahead date include "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To," "I've Got the World on a String," "Love Letters," and "Just Friends." ~ Scott Yanow



Recorded at Soundmixers, New York, New York in August 1982. Includes liner notes by Gordon Raddue.

Tal Farlow Quartet: Tal Farlow (guitar); James Williams (piano); Gary Mazzaroppi (bass); Vinnie Johnson (drums).

Personnel: Tal Farlow (guitar); James Williams (piano); Vinnie Johnson (drums).

At $599 it ain't exactly what I would call affordable, but the price is reasonable given the content.  You get 11 albums on 22 180g LP records cut at 45RPM, pressed at Pallas Records in Germany.  The quality of the vinyl pressings is way better than anything you will find on RTI pressed vinyl.

Stan Getz & Arthur Fiedler at Tanglewood; recorded "Live"

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/513Hdo8BS3L._SL500_AA300_.jpg) RCA Living Stereo LP

When I saw this album I thought the concept behind was very interesting and had good potential. But I was quickly disappointed by the SQ of the recording. It sounds as if they tried to mix and match recording techniques and it just didn't work. The Pops itself sounds good with the usual smoothness and soundstaging that RCA achieved with overhead microphones. However Getz and his band sound as if their individual instruments are close miked and while they don't sound bad per se, they sound very different from the rest of the orchestra. The sonic images from the two different techniques just don't blend together well.  For example on the opening track (The Girl from Ipanema) the image of Getz's sax is just huge in size compared the the sounds of the rest of the orchestra. Likewise the close miking of the drum set has mics set to full left and full right, giving the sonic impression that thedrums are as far apart as the area taken up by the entire orchestra. While this type of sonic imaging might work for a small jazz combo (where in reality the physical sized of a drum kit might very well be similar to the distance between a pair of stereo speakers in the average home, it just does not blend realistically with the overhead mic's presentation of the entire orchestra between the speakers. The two images are simply not compatible with one another All in all, not one of RCA's better efforts.

I was never really a big fan of the Morton Gould LSC recordings (I have often wondered if this was in part because Gould always seemed to get the "B-Team" when it came to recording staff), but this one is actually pretty well done on both a musical and a sonic basis (in spite of being a 1970s or 80s Red Seal pressing.)

I only have two albums I can think of off hand that he played on. In the late 70s - early 80s he put out an album with his brother Michael as The Brecker B rothers entitled "Detente". It was a pop/disco /jazz album anlong the same lines as George Benson's "Give Me the Night". Originally released on Arista it was later picked up by Direct-Disk Labs, who released a half-speed mastered version of the album.

(http://pixhost.info/avaxhome/8f/2b/00152b8f_medium.jpeg)


He was also plart of the all-star big band that Quincey Jones put together for the Sinatra Album "LA is My Lady" and is in fact mentioned in the lyrics of "Mack the Knife" in the part where Sinatra acknowledges members of the band:

"We got George Benson,
Newman foster
We got the Brecker Brothers'
And Hamp bringin up the rear"

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51zT60kS-mL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

But other than these two releases I am pretty much in the dark about his career as well.

Brecker is a very good player, been around 3 decades. He is Michael Brecker's brother, they had a band called Brecker Brothers. It is a modern style of trumpet, he plays some straight ahead jazz, and some rock oriented crossover. Some of it is excellent, some of it is boring or just sad. You have to check out the samples before you buy it.  Technical skill is 7/10 with Freddie at 10/10, chops are 6/10 where Maynard is 10/10.

Other current trumpeters of his type of playing would be Tim Hagans, Jim Rotondi, Eddie Henderson.

Thanks Rich, that was the kind of feedback I was looking for - "Technical skill is 7/10 with Freddie at 10/10, chops are 6/10 where Maynard is 10/10."

After listening to the 3rd disk in the Morgan/Shorter set, (it kicks butt), can't see going backwards in my jazz trumpet listening.

Hey Tom - Do you actually have those 2 albums? You're one scary dude at times, right up there with Bill!

Not only do I have both albums, I knew where each one was and could put my hands on both of them in less than a minute.

Sometimes I even scare myself.  :rofl:

Gene, I wouldn't say Randy is backward progression, anymore than Booker is backward to Clifford. Just different.  He seems to be leaning more toward jazz these days than his previous inclinations,  because jazz/rock is even more dead than straight-ahead jazz. So the new record might be OK, on par with most other new releases. That is to say, technically interesting, with no soul or balls. I would wait for the Amazon samples, or hit his earlier recordings at his peak.

I've always considered the Breckers as sidemen.  Randy and Michael have played with all kinds of artists: Aerosmith, Parliament, Paul Simon, Lou Reed to name a few.  They are passable as sidemen and rarely lessen the quality of a performance; sometimes vastly improving the synergy. The music they create on their own, however, tends to be less interesting.

7/10 indeed.

I was fortunate to see Michael in some small hole in the Village like 55 or something like that, playing electric soprano, a couple years before he died. It was interesting, and the audience was quite captivated and hysterical over him. I had heard Bill Evans (sax) play a night of hard bop a few months earlier, which totally shook me to the core, Brecker didn't do that, nor Eric Alexander, nor any of the new tenor stars.

Gladys Knight: Before Me

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/517g3aDe-zL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) CD

I saw this at the library and immediately thought that an album of Gladys Knight doing old jazz standards could prove very interesting. Well that anticipation quickly turned to disappointment upon playing the CD. Knight's vocal performances were just not up to the standards I expected given her R&B work. Her phrasing just always seemed a bit off with many awkward pauses.

Another time where I was glad I got this from the library and didn't have to lay out money to find out about this.  8)

If you like CJ and want your son to appreciate them, you may want to look at the XX.  The XX remind me of the mood that emanates from CJ, sleepy, sultry, aching, but is slightly brighter.  Instead of the standard guitar, bass, drums they use keyboards, but the effect is quite remarkable.  I've yet to introduce the XX to anyone who has disliked them.  XX could be a bridge to CJ for your son.

Original minty Verve double LP pressing.  This is my favorite pairing of Louis Armstrong with Ella Fitzgerald.  The arragements are dynamite and the vocal performances, as one might expect, are top shelf.  A must own for any jazz lover.

While Bill has a Ph.D. in psychedelic rock, I am still working on my undergraduate degree.  :rofl:  But I do like this music a lot.  There aren't too many albums that I have listened to that are more trippy than this one.  The sound quality on this Sundazed reissue is fantastic.  I have to give them credit, Sundazed has done a fabulous job of preserving a lot of 1960s rock.  From psychedlia to garage rock and lo-fi, it is really great to be able to buy a lot of this music on quality vinyl pressings since original LPs are starting to get very expensive when you do manage to locate a decent copy.

I pick this up at the library last night. Always thought of Strawberry Alarm Clock as just a one hit wonder and was pleasantly surprised with this album.

Nice recommendation. Thanks Jerome :thumb:

I'm a bachelor this week. The wife and kids are on an Alaskan cruise so I'm home alone. Had Pete and Tom Mazz over last night for some fine tunes and hanging out. But today was all my own. Played a good 18 holes at Bethpage, then a dip in the pool to cool off. Then a walk into town to get some Thai for dinner and a stop at the local pub. Well, needless to say I ran into some local people and one beer led to another. Good beer too, we have a beer bar serving stuff you just can't buy anywhere. So now I'm home cranking the tunes. A beer or two more, some sipping Anejo Tequila and I'm dipping into my ruddy past. Pulling out the stuff I grew up with, and cranking it at 3 o'clock on the stimp meter.

AND LOVIN IT! Man this sounds good loud!!!

If I could find the crackhouse thread I'd post the pic of what I got, I was a good boy.

I'll wait till Bill posts in it, he wasn't so good.  :lol:

Thanks PREX!


I just picked that album up on a 150g reissue  :D, but haven't had the time to listen to it yet.  :(

Now don't tell me you went all the way to PREX and only came home with one record..........

Ok here is another one that falls under the category of odball albums that may have fallen between the cracks.......

Tupper Saussy Quartet: The Swinger's Guide To Mary Poppins

(http://store.acousticsounds.com/images/large/PMON_MLP8034-S__45609__01152009121736-4419.jpg) Monument LP

Before anybody asks, the title refers to Jazz intujrppertations of the music from Marry Poppins, not the soundtrack from some porno movie.  :duh  :lol:

Nice album from both musical and sonic standpoints.

Pearl Bailey Sings Porgy and Bess, and Other Gershwin Melodies

(http://www.generalgoods.biz/00rec/r29.jpg) LP

Nice musically and sonically, but pressed on some of the noisiest crappy vinyl I have ever heard. If I wasn't staring right at the LP while it was paying I would have sworn I was listening to an old scratchy 78.

This is an original pressing on Forum records. I have been told that the album was remastered and reissued by Collectors Choice Music with much better results. It was also issued on CD. I will keep my eyes out for one of these two since it is a worthwhile album.

A great album. I only wish her other releases had the energy that she shows in this show. This one always makes me go and look to see her concery schedule to see if she is playing anywhere close, but alas, she lives in Paris.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/611Rl4Sg-iL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) Mercury Living Stereo LP

I picked this out of the dollar bin for my son. This was a very popular album in its day so there are tons of them around and the law of supply and demand drives the price for this LP down to bargin basement levels. But just because they are easy to find not because it is in any way an undesireable album. In fact I had forgotten just how good it was and was taken back tonight by just how good the performance and the sonics really are. It was the first time in months that I sat in the listening chair without geeting up once for an entire album (with the one excetion of the time I had to flip the record.) It just sucked me right in.   :)

As cheap and easy to find as this album is, every audiophile should make an effort to own a copy.

From Amazon:
Since 1995, former Byrd-man Roger McGuinn has been posting a song each month on the Folk Den (www.mcguinn.com) to celebrate and spread the traditional repertoire that launched his musical life in the '50s. Now he revisits 18 of those songs on a collaborative, home-recorded CD, singing and picking his banjo and 12-string guitar alongside stalwart folkies like Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Jean Ritchie, Odetta, and next-generation talents Eliza Carthy and Josh White Jr.

(http://ebid.s3.amazonaws.com/upload_big/8/3/1/1306178581-9120-83360.jpg) RCA Red Seal LP

What a letdown this was. First off it is paper thin 1970 oil embargo vinyl. (I put it on my postal scal and the LP wieghed about 85g.) Secondly, I don'y know if it was the cheap vinyl or just a poor recording, but this music just seemd lifeless and the performance had absolutely no sense of being played in a real concert hall. It sounded like it was done in a soundproof room. I will consider the 53 cent pricetag an audition fee and pack this album up to be sent back with all of the household stuff that is being donated to the Crack House (which is actually run by the Lupus Foundation).

This is the same recording origiinally released by RCA as "The Power of the Orchestra". It is a great recording and performance, but it suffers here in this clearly inferior reissue. IF you want a copy of this performance stick with the original RCA Livingf Stereo orgrab one of the reissues by CLassic Records or Chesky, both of which swhow off the virtues of this album. I would recommend passing on this Quintessence pressing.

Beethoven: String Quartet, Op. 130; Grosse Fuge, Op. 133
Ludwig van Beethoven (Composer), Cleveland Quartet (Orchestra) | Format: flac

Morning coffee on the deck with Ludwig. A fine recording by the Cleveland Quartet, I put them up there with the Quartetto Italiano in their interpretation of Beethoven. And as it's a Telarc disk, the SQ is 1st rate. The 'woodiness' of the instruments is readily apparent, and this is a flac rip of the actual cd.

According to the liner notes, the oldest of the 4 instruments is from 1585, the 'newest' from 1783, I wonder what insurance is like for these instruments? I'd be too afraid to even hold them for fear I'd damage them somehow with my 'meatpaws'.

They may have only had one hit single but Big Country had a number of excellent albums.  You might want to give Steeltown, Why the Long Face, and Driving to Damascus a try.

Minty original Columbia stereo pressing.  The cover art doesn't quite look like the one pictured.  The motherboard in my workstation failed and I am waiting on a warranty replacement.  So I am stuck with my laptop until then and won't be doing any original cover art scans for a while.

Speak for yourself you Blue Meanie.

Actually, I am confused, still trying to bring my old htpc back to life, working through the standard troubleshooting steps of removing parts one at a time, replaced the psu, no joy.

Down to clearing the bios and reseating the cpu, if that's not it, in the trash it goes. No great loss, it's an older mobo/cpu combo, but I had just installed Audacity on it last Fall and was ready to start digitizing some of this older vinyl I've acquired, oh well.

This is the best fidelity recording of Bud. It is almost audiophile quality. Really weird to hear him recorded so clearly.  Bud's playing is good, among his European recordings, 6/10 compared to his best, "The Amazing Bud Powell, Vol. 1" on Blue Note.

Original Jazz Classics reissues 1950s and 1960s Prestige, Riverside, and other jazz label recordings with their original LP track listings (hence the name).  I have hundreds of CDs from OJC and appreciate what they do.  A lot of the titles they have are just about impossible to find on vinyl in anything close to playable condition.

http://www2.concordmusicgroup.com/artists/label/Original-Jazz-Classics

Adding bonus tracks means more production costs since somone has to go over all of the session tapes and decide which, if any, unissued tracks should be included.  I bought most of my OJC titles direct from Concord Music Group for $7.99.  It seems that Concord has struck some sort of deal with Amazon.com because they no longer sell CDs directly from their website.  A lot of the titles I was buying for $7.99 from Concord are selling for $8.99 and $9.99 on Amazon.  I can't say I'm too happy about that.

Rich -

Sean Parque - the Skiing Ninja -  turned me onto Radio Paradise back a year or so, I really like it. I have the 192kbps stream setup in my DUET, it has limited availability, maybe 400 people can access it at anytime, but it does sound a little better than 128kbps.

K. D. Lang 'Live in London'

As an experiment, ripped the audio PCM track from this BD disk, converted the WAV to FLAC, added the FLAC to my media server for Squeezecenter to find, and playing it via DUET through my 2 channel system.

Used tsMuxeR to rip from disk, so it 's converted as 48/16, but still sounds good. And I now don't have to power up the ht system to hear it, or other BD concert disks, a big win.

Oh, I agree about the OJC series. It is great stuff (I guess that is one of the reasons I wish there was a bit more music on the discs.)  A lot of them were originally mastered for CD in the late 80s, before the concept of bonus tracks really came into favor.

As for the Concord move to Amazon, I guess they were simply not moving enough products via their web site to justify its continuing operation. Record companies are essentially wholesale businesses and I guess they figured it would make more sense for them to leave the online retailing to someone who could do it with better economies of scale. Unfortunately, with more people along the delivery chain the prices to tend to creep up as everybody wants a piece of the pie. Similar trends are beginning to be seen all across corporate America as companies they spent a lot of time diversifying their operations are now in light of the economic downturns carefully evaluating the costs and profitability of everything they do and in many cases spinning of divisions and outsourcing functions to bring their business back in closer to their own core competencies.

Walter Davis: Please Remember Me 1930-1947

(http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/dre200/e265/e265340pqhn.jpg) CD

I figured that given the timeframe that these recordings were made in they would be intersting from a historical perspective, but pretty horrible sounding. But I was pleasantly surprised with the SQ. Granted they do not sound like present day audiophile recordings but given that they are 1930s & 40s productions I thought they sounded pretty darn good. Musically it is an enjoyable collection of small combo blues.

Thanks Gene. I'll try the 192mp3 stream also. The AAC stream is supposedly really good quality also, even though it is smaller. It's the one that Radio Paradise seems to think is the best.

The fun thing about the station is the eclectic quality of the music choices. It's really all over the place, but most of it is pretty good, many artists are new to me.

Not sure they qualify as off the beaten path, but 2 groups I began collecting as a result of exposure to them on RP are Porcupine Tree and Silversun Pickups.

PT is a prog rock outfit led by guitarist Steven Wilson, and SSPU is an alt rock quartet out of  LA.

I just picked up a Japanese Verve import of this album at the Crack House a few months ago. Probably not as good SQ wise as the original pressing, but I have to agree, the music is top shelf.

I agree. DMM has gotten a lot of bad press, but IMO they are not that bad. But they are certainly not the be all and end all of records. I wouldn't put them in the category of premium sound records like releases from Classic or Analogue Productions, but I never really felt they sounded particularly bad either. Their biggest crime was not living up to the marketing hype that surrounded them when they first came out. That said, I wouldn't pay a premium price for on just because it was DMM, nor would I try to replace something I already had with a DMM pressing. But if I saw a DMM copy of something I was interested in musically I wouldn't run away from it either. In my mind the record is just a means to an end. The music is the real product. And in my book a less than stellar pressing of outstanding music will beat out a fantastic sounding recording of mediocre music any day of the week. (Hey a great sounding copy of an outstanding musical performance would be ideal, but as Mick and Keith always tell us "You can't always get what you want." )

Just a plain vanilla Prestige reissue that sounds fantastic.  I know I buy a lot of expensive 180g 45RPM pressings, but they aren't really essential to excellent sound.  And to be honest I have been let down by a fair number of expensive audiophile pressings that suffered from problems ranging from pressing defects to bad mastering.  Don't get me wrong, because my experience with buying audiophile pressings has largely been positive, otherwise I wouldn't buy them.  OTOH, I get a great deal of listening satisfaction from inexpensive reissue pressings that cost no more than about ten bucks.

One of my favorite Coltrane albums.  I buy a lot of "audiophile" software as well  and can second your notion that every thing that is pressed onto heavy vinyl is sonic gold.  Some are outstanding, some, not so great. The pressing is the last thing in the production chain and if care was not taken in the earlier steps, putting something onto 180 or 200g vinyl will not fix any prior problems. Unfortunately, I think there are a bunch of marketing types out there who think they can just cash in on the audiophile vinyl revival by making thick records.

And I will take your comment about listening to plain vanilla stock pressings on step further. Because of my work situation I have been doing almost all of my listening via CDs in the car and on a boom box.... and loving it. No it is not the fidelity I am used to in the mancave, but is beats working long shifts in silence and has allowed be to revisit a lot of old "friends that I haven't heard for a while (and discover a bunch of new artists that I picked up in that big haul from the library discard bin.)

It's all about the music.........  :thumb:

George Benson: Tenderly

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61J5bIRmypL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) CD

Just the opposite of the clean simple sound of the David Benoit CD I posted about earlier this 1989 Benson album is full of Vegas style overproduction. If I want to hear Vegas style music I will listen to Sinatra or Tony Bennet. The 2 straight up jazz quartet cuts and the one that is a Benson guitar solo are all good, but it is just not enough to make up to the overblown production on the rest of the album.

This CD complies recordings that Lester Young did for Commodore in the late 1930s.  The title is something of a misnomer since the tracks were actually laid down in New York.  KC is a really a reference to the musicians sitting in since many of them came from the ranks of the Count Basie orchestra.

Arhoolie Records 40th Anniversary Collection: The Journey Of Chris Strachwitz 1960-2000

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51RNMASZDSL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) 5 CD Set

I found this set at the library discard sale. I had no idea what it was but at 50 cents for a 5 CD set I figured, "What the heck!"  It looked like some kind of blues collection, but I had never heard of Arhoolie records so when I got home I looked up the collection on Amazon and found the following editorial review:

"Superbly packaged and lovingly annotated, the five-disc Arhoolie Records 40th Anniversary Collection distills four decades of musical passion into six hours of highlights. The passion is that of Arhoolie founder Chris Strachwitz, a German immigrant and former California schoolteacher whose label reflects a devotion to American roots music at its most vital and varied. Southern bluesmen Mance Lipscomb and Fred McDowell, Louisiana zydeco kingpin Clifton Chenier, and Tex-Mex conjunto accordionist Flaco Jimenez are just a few of the regional mainstays to achieve national renown through Arhoolie, and all of them are represented here.
The spirited diversity of the 105 selections (including 13 available on CD for the first time) finds the label extending its reach from string-band country (Hackberry Ramblers) to hard-driving jazz (Jerry Hahn Quintet) to New Orleans brass bands to more recent forays into "sacred steel," featuring gospel music with pedal-steel guitar. Where so many folk preservations might as well be embalming musical relics, Arhoolie champions "vernacular music": music that retains a strong, integral connection to its community and gets people clapping, stomping, and dancing. Throughout the set, the immediacy of the performances transcends trendiness or timeliness, showing how America sounds beyond the plasticity of popular culture."

This is not the kind of slick production music we get out of the major record labels, but rather real people playing real music not for the money, but just for the joy of doing it. It will take me a while to get trough all 5 CD, but what I have listened to so far has a real “organic” feel to it that really grows on you. There is just something infectious out music played by someone who plays just because they have a passion for what they are doing.

I've been listening to these 4 season based collections from the 32 Jazz label in the car on the way back and forth to work over the past few days. Like all of trhe other 32 Jazz CDs I have picked up recently they feature great music and excellent SQ. And although I have been listening in the car, the SQ holds up in the main system as well (which is not always the case.)

I love Turrentine, 1 disc I bring to all GTGs for testing is 'Don't Mess with Mr. T". Think I'll put some on.

Meanwhile, 2 days of listening to old Tenor Sax players has also resulted in 2 days of listening to Harry 'Sweets' Edison, I just listened to Prez' version of "You're Getting To Be A Habit With Me " 3 times, as much to hear Sweets as Prez.  Nice recommendation J.

Now, I have to search for somemore work by Sweets.

That is an excellent idea Tom! We do have some seriously well endowed private universities and seriously broke state colleges in this area, all with music programs and big libraries, so they are probably connected to the public libraries. I will ask the librarians.

Kenny Burrell: Be Yourself

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51RrQYiW%2BoL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) CD

From Amazon:
The diversity and elegance of Kenny Burrell's guitar playing is evident throughout this exceptionally fine performance, the latest in Highnote's on-going series captured live at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola, Jazz at Lincoln Center. From the very start of his career Kenny Burrell has been described as a bop and hard bop player. The bop elements are there, to be sure, along with blues and a great blend of the two styles. But, Kenny Burrell also exhibits a much gentler, more melodic and expressive style of play. Hear what made George Benson exclaim, "There is no finer guitarist than Kenny Burrell."

I would love to find this one on vinyl.  :drool:  Chad, are you listening?  [-o<

When I was 17 (sang Frank Sinatra...)  I went to James Williams' house to jam and listen to records. He was only 30 then. He made a cassette tape for me of a bunch of records I'd not heard yet. Miles' Four & More, Mobley's No Room for Squares, and one track from Monk's In Action, "Rhythm-ning." I listened to that tape and nothing else for a couple months. I remember listening to it at the beach, while everyone else was listening to Michael Jackson on KISS-108. Those three are still some of my favorite albums. That's some of Monk best playing of his post-bebop period on that record.

Norman Granz took most of his Jazz at the Philharmonic stars into the studio to record a number of jam sessions.  The entire collection has been issued on CD, but I have been fortunate enough to find most of it on minty original Clef pressings (they're quite rare these days).  The only one I am missing is Jam Session #9.  The personnel on this album are: Dizzy Gillespie, Roy Eldridge, Lionel Hampton, Flip Philips, Illinois Jacquet, Ben Webster, Johnny Hodges, Buddy Rich, Ray Brown, and Oscar Peterson.  Not too shabby.

(http://www.indierockfan.net/pics/BudFreeman19281938.jpg)

In the late 1980s the French label Classics Records (not to be confused with the audiophile vinyl label Classic Records) began an ambitious project: to release most recorded jazz works from the 78 era (from the 1920s through the early 1950s) on compact disc, in chronological order by artist.  When the project started it was based on a subscription model, with subscribers receiving a few CDs each month.  Later, the CDs were sold at retail and online stores.  As I recall the original goal was to issue about 2,000 CDs.  Unfortunately the operation folded in 2008, after having released some 945 CDs.  It's a shame too, because many of the recordings only exist on 78s and haven't been reissued on an LP or CD.  I managed to assemble little more than half of the titles released.  They're collector's items now and they frequently sell for a king's ransom whenever they do come up for sale.  I'm still buying them when I can find them for a reasonable price.

Before Kay Starr became a pop icon in the 1950s for Capitol Records (the hit Wheel of Fortune became a signature song for her), she was one helluva jazz singer in the 1940s.  This CD collects all of the songs that Starr recorded for the Lamplighter label.  I have a few of these sides on 78s, but it is really nice having this CD.  The sound quality is really great (I would rather listen to a CD made from the original metal parts then a scratchy, beat up shellac record any day.

ORG 180g 45RPM Impulse! reissue.  This one sounds a touch bass heavy but is otherwise a fine sounding pair of records.  I know most people familiar with Hartman think his recording with Coltrane is his best, but this album is my favorite due to it's loose, lightly swinging tempos.  A couple of fine ballads are also here to balance things out.  Hartman is backed on this recording by Illinois Jacquet on tenor sax, Kenny Burrell and Jim Hall on guitar, Hank Jones on piano, Milt Hinton on Bass, and Elvin Jones on drums.  Great album.

Pharoah Sanders Quartet - "Crescent With Love" (http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/pid/1043925/a/Crescent+With+Love.htm)

Quote
Sanders will be forever known as the tenor saxophonist who stood beside John Coltrane during the last years of the ultimate tenor saxophonist's life, and on this 2 CD set, five of the 12 compositions are by Coltrane. The focus is not on Coltrane the volcanic avant-gardist, however, but on Coltrane the underrated melodicist and romantic. Sanders leads a mainstream piano quartet through restrained, even lyric, arrangements of Coltrane's blues and ballads, and makes them sound as tuneful and tender as the album's standards, "Misty," "In a Sentimental Mood," and "Body and Soul." What also emerges is Sanders's distinctive voice on the sax--as full of throaty, vibrant overtones when he's crooning as when he's roaring. --Geoffrey Himes

Here's one I bought as it has Lockjaw Davis with Scottie girl on the B3, I had never heard of Al Smith, this was a find. If I want a guy singing over a quality backing jazz group, this is it. Smith was a gospel singer, who occassionally ventured out of gospel to sing a jazz-influenced approach to blues and R&B. He only had 2 albums, I stumbled onto this one, still looking for the other.

On all American 1980s Liberty Blue Note Vinyl

EDIT
Wow, this is really sounding good. This is the first time the vinyl rig has come together to sound really on. This is an excellent quality recording, clean, not abused, and great music. I cranked it way up on the title track with Blakey bashing the hell out of his set and everything came to life. The bass is excellent, just like CD.

I had never heard this album so I grabbed a copy out of the cheapy bin to see what it was all about. Nice music, but the vinyl is really noisy (which I guess is why it was in the cheapy bin iu the first place). I'll have to keep an eye out for a clean copy.

Analogue Productions 200g Quality Records pressing.  I'm not at all impressed with the quality of the pressing.  Lots of physical flaws (loud pops and clicks) mar a very nice quality recording...this is the same thing that drove me out of my mind with Classic Records.

I'm going to keep a close eye on buyer feedback.  Chad is planning to reissue a lot of classic Verve jazz titles on 45 RPM 180g vinyl.  If they were being pressed by Pallas records then I would buy them without reservation.  But they will be on Quality Record Pressings, and if they turn out like this one then I'm really not interested.

Wow, I'm really surprised because my copy did not have a single click  or pop on it. The vinyl was dead quiet.

However I do have one suggestion. Play it through 3 or 4 times before you give up on it, even if you do so while playing a CD so you don't have to listgen to it. I remember when MoFi firsst started putting out records back in the day they always said that they didn't polish the stampers before pressing the LPs out of fear that the polishing while it would help get rid of ticks might also wipe out some low level details. They said that the ticks that would get polished out would also get removed by the stylus during the course of the first few playings. I do remember that to be true, so before you write of what is a realy good album from a performance and musical standpoint you might want to try "breaking it in" first.

In the past I found that some times it helped and other times it didn't, but the way I figure it, since you already have the LP it is at least worth a try. I hope it helps.

Great album, but given the amount of time that Miles spent fighting substance abuse problems I thought it was in rather poor taste to put out a CD with a cover picture that looks like he is smoking crack. (I realize that this was the original cover, but given the problems he had in later life I for one would not be upset if the changed the cover photo in future releases of this album.)

Saw this in the new release section at the library and decided to give it a whirl. ONJ's voice is still on good form and the performances are not bad, but this tribute album space is a crowded place to play in and her readings just don't seem to offer anything different or better than either the originals nor other tributes that are already out there. It's OK, but nothing that would inspire me to lay out money for (or dedicate rack space to.)

I found this 2 LP set in the clearance bin and when I pulled the LPs out to inspect them at first glance they looked like they were Deep Groove pressings. Unfortunately what looked like a groove was actually a ridge and the LPs turned out to be from the Liberty era. Sure it would have been incredible if they were deep grooves, but with great music on good vinyl for only $2 I'm still a happy camper.  :D

Good God man! How do you go from Lee Morgan to O. N. J. then back to Lee? The abrupt change in music styles would give me a headache.

Got loopy on wine listening to The Procrastinator last night and don't really remember the 2nd album, so re-listening to it with morning coffee.

Edit: Well, I didn't realize last night that there was a lovely, down-tempo version of 'Stormy Weather' on side 3. Very nice.

I vaguely recall the same thing Tom, but I don't know that I buy it.  And even if it is true having to play an LP 3 or 4 times to make it listenable, while fine in an isolated instance, is not workable for a large number of records.  For one, I would spend far more time breaking in bad pressings than listening to music -- given the quantities of vinyl that I buy.  Secondly, this would also accelerate the wear and tear on my stylus or require that I use a second turntable to break these records in.  No, that just isn't going to work -- at least for me it won't.

This is the main reason I stopped buying vinyl from Classic Records.  I might put an order in for 10 to 20 LPs and about 30% to 40% of them would turn up with pressing defects.  It got so bad at one point that I was seriously considering dumping vinyl completely because I felt that I was throwing my money away.  But then I came to my senses and stopped buying Classic Records releases and things improved dramatically.  I will still buy the occasional OOP Classic Records title if the price is right, but I won't pay serious money one for one since the risk of pressing issues is too great.

I am probably the hardest customer to please where pressing defects are concerned, and I am far more sensitive to them than I am mastering problems.  Labels and pressing plants have to earn my trust.  I loath RTI and think that at least 30% of what they press is junk.  I try to avoid anything pressed by them.  But there are exceptions.  I believe Music Matters has their 45 RPM 180g Blue Note reissues pressed at RTI.  I have bought just about every single one of them.  Why?  Because Music Matters has a quality control process in place that insulates me from issues with the pressing plant.  I have only had a problem with one Music Matters reissue, and they replaced it promptly.

Quality Record Pressings has some work to do in order to earn my trust.  For now I am approaching them with the same caution that I did with Classic Records.  I won't judge them based on one LP...but this is not a very good start.  So I don't feel that I can buy with confidence like I do Music Matters or Speakers Corner titles.

At the moment I think that Pallas Records in Germany is pressing the best vinyl on the planet.  Speakers Corner and Pure Pleasure Records are using them.  Chad is also using them for the Impulse! 45 RPM 180g series, and also used them for the Bill Evans Riverside recordings boxed set.  You will not find a rough edge or off center label on a record pressed at Pallas.  The records are simply beautiful to look at, and a sheer joy to handle and listen to.  I own a few hundred of their pressings and only had a problem with one from Speakers Corner.

Oh, I definitely agree that this would not be a good solution for large quantities of LPs (been there,done that, got a whole draw full of those tee shirts  :lol: ). I only mentioned it because IMO Gentle Ben is a great album and it would be worth it to me to put in a little effort to salvage it.

But you are right, if I had to do that for every LP I bought I would go crazy to. I have enough trouble keeping up with what I pick up when  I just play them once.  :roll:  :rofl:

Good God man! How do you go from Lee Morgan to O. N. J. then back to Lee? The abrupt change in music styles would give me a headache.

Gene,

I picked up the ONJ out of curiosity from the library\ and it got mixed in with a bunch of my own stuff. While I was straightening up last night I came across it and noticed it was due today, so I put it next in the rotation so I could give it a listen before it eas time to bring it back. But it is not as big a jump in musical styles as you would think since  it is not at typical ONJ pop album but rather a foray into jazz type vocals as is being done by so many aging pop stars lately. It seems that everybody and his brother is coming out with an album of "standards" (and some like Rod Stewart seem to be making a second career out of it.)

George Benson: Giblet Gravy

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51G7YSjBr8L._SL500_AA300_.jpg) Verve CD

When I was in HS Benson's Breezin' album was the first thing that really pulled me into the world of jazz (or at least semi jazz as it was more of a pop crossover album.) I had a neighbor at the time that would spit on the ground every time somebody mentioned George Benson because he felt that he was a traitor to the art by subverting jazz simply to sell more records. At the time I thought this was just plain silly, all the gy was trying to do was make a living and if crossover jazz was what sold, what was wrong with that. Well after hearing this album which even predates Benson's time with Creed Taylor, I now understand where he was coming from. I'm reaqlly liking this album and will now be on the prowl for more things that he did for Verve

Edit: I did some research and it looks like this won't be too easy. Benson only recorded 2 albums for Verve (as a headliner anyway), Giblet Gravey and anoyher one called Goodies, which has never been rekleased on CD, nor as far as I can tell been rereleased on vinyl. This will be tough to find and I would think even tougher to find at a reasonable price (it sounds like it would be prewtty collectable and we all know what that does to the asking prices.)

However all is not lost. I did find a Benson CD called Talking Verve which the writeup says features music from Bensons  verve albums. It does not contgain everything from both albums, but its a start. (and I found it on Amazon for only 17 cents.  8) )

The Cedar Walton/Hank Mobley Quintet: Breakthrough

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61WhjUADZnL._AA300_.jpg) CD

There is something about this album that just doesn't sit right with me. Recorded in 1972 it seems a bit mechanical and just doesn't have the same soul that Mobley's work in the 50s for Blue Note did. That said if I did not have his earlier work to compare it to I would most likely be very happy with this CD, but it is just not up to what I expected to hear. (I wouldn't lay out a lot of money for it, but for 3 bucks on amazon it was not a bad find.)

Sonny Rollins: The Complete Prestige Recordings

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31QMW4VQWJL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) 7 CD Box Set

This one is going to take me a while to get through. Started at the beginning with Disc 1.

From Amazon
"This 7 CD set traces the rise of tenor saxophone giant Sonny Rollins from a talented neophyte with a big beat and a big sound, to one of the most commanding melodic and rhythmic innovators of the 1950s. Inspired by R&B/Blues master Louis Jordan, Rollins soon fell under the spell of tenor saxophone trendsetters Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young, gravitating to the enormous sound of the latter, and the spacious phrasing of the other. And finally, there was the grand rhythmic/harmonic mastery of Charlie Parker, Bud Powell and (especially) his elder Thelonious Monk and contemporary Miles Davis."

As it seems did a lot of the jazz greats. Don't get me wrong It is not a bad album and as a matter of fact if Mobley's name wasn't on it I probably would have had no big issue with it. But it was just kind of sterile and missing that magic spark found in his Blue Note releases. Probably more a reflection of the direction Jazz was taking in the 70s vs the 50s than it was a reflection on Mobely himself or the state of his health. (it was also an Atlanitic release and not done by the team at Blue Note.)

Great album, but given the amount of time that Miles spent fighting substance abuse problems I thought it was in rather poor taste to put out a CD with a cover picture that looks like he is smoking crack. (I realize that this was the original cover, but given the problems he had in later life I for one would not be upset if the changed the cover photo in future releases of this album.)

I think you're being a little over-sensitive.  Art and music are products of their time.  Miles Davis was a heavy cigarette smoker and he would often light up while other musicians were taking their solos during a performance.

I would rather not see art and music revised in any way, and that includes art and music that I might not personally approve of.  It just opens up a huge can of censorship worms that has no place in a free society.

" It just opens up a huge can of censorship worms that has no place in a free society.

Agreed!

Plus, just about every old BN/Prestige/Verve album cover from that period has someone smoking, it's just the way it was at the time.

And many of these others also had substance abuse issues.

I agree about the smoking and would not have thought twice if it clearly looked like a cigarette me was smoking. But with the way the photo was lit it looked like he was lighting a crack pipe even if it was really a cigarette. And I in no way am advocating that the picture should be changed or censored. I was just surprised they chose a picture like that in the first place, that's all.

Now that I think about it, it also may be a time lag thing. 1) the date of the album release may have predated Mile's drug problem and 2) the photo may have also predated the introduction on Crack (or at least the popularity of it) so at the time it was taken nobody would have had the gut reaction I had to it.

As usual, you guys are waiting in the wings to keep me on my toes.  :thumb:

Tonight I'm listening to a stack of 78s courtesy of...

Bix Biederbecke
The Frankie Trumbauer Orchestra
The Paul Whiteman Orchestra
Bing Crosby
Bunny Berigan and His Orchestra
The Les Brown Orchestra
Gene Krupa
Benny Goodman and His Orchestra
The Fletcher Henderson Orchestra

And some stuff from the early to mid 1920s from artists I never heard of.

I have better sounding recordings of some this stuff on CD that was sources from the original metal parts, like the Bix and Trumbauer sessions on Brunswick, Okeh, and Vocalion that was issued by Mosaic Records.  But there is something to be said for playing these old 78s.  Handling them is like touching a piece of history.  Yeah, sounds silly I know.

Here's a couple of great examples.  I never heard of Art Fowler.  A little research showed that this record was issued in 1926.  It's a couple of sides of stride piano tunes.  The sound quality is fair because the record is pretty worn.  But it is listenable, even enjoyable, at moderate to low volume.  That is where I put it for records made prior to 1930 because a lot of them are worn...but interesting and still worth a listen.

(http://www.indierockfan.net/pics/VaughnDeLeath_78.jpg)

This Okeh record of Vaughn De Leath is one of the oldest 78s I own.  It was issued in 1921.  You can run your fingers over it and barely feel the grooves...but surprisingly it sounds pretty good given its age.

In some ways buying these old relics is more satisfying than running down a minty copy of some 1950s or 60s jazz record.

Diana Krall:Doing All Right - In Concert

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51%2B6tbZbx3L._SL500_AA300_.jpg) 2 LP set

Well this is living proof that all that is pressed on 180g vinyl is not audio gold. This album simply sucks. The music and performance are not bad, but the album itself is the pits. I got nervious when I opened the package and the cover photo was grainy and over enlarged. The quality of the vinyl was not much better, full of clicks and pops. And finally the SQ of the recording was just lousy. A real amatuer job.

But there was a silver lining to this cloud. Upon inspecting the LPs I found a big gouge in Track 1 of Side A.  Upon contacting the dealer he told me that he didn't have any more copies of this particular album in stock so he would have to issue me a refund.

Broke my heart  8)...........

If you want a live Krall album stick with "Live in Paris". Avoid this one like the plague. :shock:

I had high hopes for this set, but ended up being very disappointed. The performances weren't bad, but the recording was a showstopper for me. The microphone placement on the piano and the way it was place in the mix were such that the piano took up more space in the sonic soundstage that the rest of the orchestra. It painted a very unreal sonic picture (a Paul Bunion sized Steinway   :-k) that I found quite distracting to the point where I just turned it off.  [-(

Which is not all that surprising when you think about it. He was 23 years old without a lot of professional experience under his belt so he emulated the sound of someone that he admired who was already successful. Once he got a bit more experience (and confidence) under his belt he was able to break out and develop or of his own style. You also have to wonder how much of the Wes sound came from  producers try to copy a sound that they knew was already popular in order to help bolster sales for a relatively unknown new artist.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/514cSbZsnVL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) Blue Note CD

This album is perplexing in how much it spotlights other musicians and how little it spotlights Mobley. If I didn't see his name on the cover I would have just thought he was a session player and this was somebody else's album. Still a good album, just strange in how little it features the headliner.

It's one of the last really good Blue Note albums that Alfred Lion produced, having sold the label to Liberty Records in 1965 and by 1967 he was retired.

By 1970 most of what was coming out of Blue Note sounded a lot like music made for cheesy television shows.

Verve Mono Deep Groove pressing

Jerome -

Does the deep groove have any significance for a Verve album or is that just a Blue Note thing?
Title: Re: What are you listening to right now?
Post by: jsaliga on September 13, 2011, 05:49:37 AM
Tom, as far as I am concerned Deep Groove is only of significance to collectors.  Blue Note wasn't the only record label to have records pressed at plants that used machines that would put a groove in the label area.  Verve and Contemporary did it as well.

My main interest in first pressings is that given a choice, I think it is preferable to have records that were made from fresh master tapes to masters that are 50 years or more old.  I will admit that this preference of mine is based more on psychology than empirical fact.  I know that old tapes can sound fantastic if they are not worn.  A few years ago when I still had a reel to reel deck I managed to acquire some still sealed Columbia 4-track stereo tapes made in the 1960s of a number of Bruno Walter/Columbia Symphony recordings and their sound was some of the best I have ever heard...on any media.

You may find this archived thread on the Steve Hoffman forum an interesting read.

Pure Pleasure Records 180g vinyl reissue.  This is the inaugural version of the Jazz Messengers, with Art Blakey, Horace Silver, Hank Mobley, Doug Watkins, and Donald Byrd.  Originally issued by Columbia in 1956, I have been waiting a long time for a high quality reissue.  Pure Pleasure Records can do no wrong in my book.  This is the way to do a quality vinyl reissue.  You get two 180g LPs pressed at Pallas Records in Germany, in a beautiful high gloss gatefold jacket.  On the first LP you get the original album that was issued in 1956.  On the second LP you get a number of bonus tracks that were previously unreleased.  It's a fantastic package that sounds superb and is worth every bit of the $49.95 price.  Highly recommended.

This is an awesome album by my favorite prodigy of Bud Powell, contains a song dedicated to my other fav Powellist, Walter Davis, Jr.  Sound quality is fantastic, with beautiful rich detailed acoustic bass of George Mraz, and relaxed but hip vibe of Harris. Recorded at Van Gelder Studios 1996.

What a great LP. Dead quiet vinyl, silky smooth SQ and musically it needs no introduction. Definitely a top of the pile album in my book. I found a dealer that had one copy left after looking for quite a few months. Everybody else said that it had not been announced as out of print, but they all have had it on backorder since the beginning of the summer. (J&R had one copy in the store but they doubled the price since they felt it was now "collectable".)Hopefully another pressing is forthcoming soon, but I just grabbed mine while I could. Highly recommended.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/412D3ECVE7L._SL500_AA300_.jpg) LP

I found this in the dollar bin at PREX last weekend and picked it up because it was pressed on heavy vinyl. As far as I know the only time the Fresh Aire albums were released on heavy vinyl was as part of a box set sold in the early 90s. Both the standard weight release and this heavy one were pressed on MoFi type virgin vinyl butnot surprisingly, the heavy one did sound noticeably better. (Sigh, add another set of records to my search list....... :roll:)

Turns out that this is a really good disc from both a musical and a SQ basis.

Can be had on Amazon for under a buck.

Affirmative.

You've got some good stuff going today, I grabbed a few $1 Concord Jazz lps of folks I never heard of, liked them all.

And 'GO' is quickly becoming one of my favs.

How are the Byrd and Chambers titles?

I liked the Bryrd a lot. It is a live album that really gives you that small club feel.

The first cut on the Chambers was a little weak, but the rest of the album was sold from there out.

(http://www.indierockfan.net/pics/PeteRugolo_MusicForHiFiBugs.jpg)

This minty original EmArcy deep groove pressing features Pete Rugolo, who was Stan Kenton's right hand man, leading a 22 piece orchestra performing some Rugolo originals and a few standards.  These are progressive jazz arrangements and won't be everyone's cup of tea.

Here's an amusing quote from the liner notes on the back cover:

     "A hi-fi bug is a male animal, usually male and frequently American, that believes the music sounds sweeter because he owns a tweeter, and feels a little bit aloofer if he also has a woofer.
     "The genus hi-fi anthropos, along with several lesser breeds, is known to exist comfortably on a diet of music like Pete Rugolo's.  It is fitting, therefore, that Pete's first album for release on the EmArcy label is dedicated to this interesting species, to whom fine sounds splendidly reproduced are the stuff of life."

Tom posted this title a few pages back and it reminded me that there was a gap to fill in my jazz collection.  I have the MJQ Prestige recordings but nothing from their Atlantic catalog.  So I found myself several MJQ titles on minty vintage Atlantic vinyl, priced between $14 and $19 each.  Well worth it.  Thanks Tom!

The Dark Side of the Moon: 30th Anniversary Edition [Hybrid SACD - DSD]
Pink Floyd | Format: Audio CD


I can't wait to hear from somebody who has heard the new DSOTM releases that came out this week. The 30th Anniv Editions (Both the SACD and the LP) were IMO both far and away the best SQ ever released in their respective formats. It will be tough to top them, but one can hope.  [-o<

Tom - we're waiting to hear from you on the DSOTM release. You need to add to your collection!!! How many copies of DSOTM do you own????

OK Pete, If you really must know the answer is 17.

Full Original recording

Analog

1) Original Capital US release
2) EMI (UK) Stereo
3) EMI (UK) SQ Quad
4) Toshiba Pro Use (Japanese)
5) Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs (Regular release, Not UHQR)
6) EMI 30th Anniversary  180g LP (UK release, pressed in Holland)
7) Pulse – EMI (UK) 4 LP set containing a full end to end live performance of DSTOM

Digital

8 ) Toshiba Pro Use (Japanese)
9) MFSL 24k Gold CD
10) 30th Anniversary SACD Hybrid
11) DVD-A 96/24 rip of the original Quad master tape
12) Pulse - Columbia (US) CD


Other DOSTM related releases

13) Dark Side of the Moon A Cappella – Vocamotion LP
14) Easy Star All-Stars – Dub Side of the Moon (Reggae version of DSOTM) - Easy Star CD
15) Easy Star All-Stars – Dubber Side of the Moon (a second disc of Reggae DSOTM) – Easy Star CD
16) US and Them – The Symphonic Pink Floyd – Point Music CD
17) The Alternate Side of the Moon – “ A collection of outtakes and early rough mixes from the recording sessions to DSOTM, Abbey Road Studios, Summer/Autumn 1972” – Thumbs Up Records

The reason I have been sitting on the sideline so far with regards to the new DSOTM release is the complete lack of information about it. Nowhere in any of the promotional material about it have them mentioned any effort to achieve  better sound nor do they even say if it is a heavy vinyl release. The 30th Anniv LP set the bar for SQ and if this new release in fact pushes that envelope I will be right there to buy one, but if it is simply a plain old compressed sounding record for the ipod crowd I'm not interested. I'm just waiting to see what the deal is since the pre-release info was very sketchy.

This album was certainly a disappointment from bot a musical and a SQ basis. It didn't really do anything really wrong, but it didn't do anything particularly right either. It was just kind of blah.

John Klemmer: Nexus One

(http://sudo.3.pro.tok2.com/Quest/cards/J/JohnKlemmer/NexusOne.gif) (Bluebird CD)

This one surprised me. John Klemmer is known mostly for smooth jazz, but the music on thsi CD is anything but smooth. While it is a trubute to Coltrane it is not the smooth Coltrane but rather the hard hitting avante garde Coltrane.

Not at all what I expected to here from a John Klemmer CD.

Another great CD from the Swiss label Joker Tonverlag. They put out two great sounding series of CDs One was called "The Entertainers" and the other one called "Giants of Jazz" (which contained this CD) Both series has excellent SQ and great collections of music. Unfortunately the only place I was ever able to find any of these was from the street vendors in NYC And the recent crackdown on unlicensed vendors has made them all but disappear.  :(

Not sure how it is labelled, but it contains live performances on the Johnny Cash show, some alternate takes, and some other songs that obviously didn't make the album. A very decent second disk of bonus tracks IMO and worth having, unlike many reissues with bogus bonus tracks that never get listened to a second time.

I have the 20th Anniv edition and disc 2 is labeled "The Jams". Is that the same thing as yours?

Not sure how it is labelled, but it contains live performances on the Johnny Cash show, some alternate takes, and some other songs that obviously didn't make the album. A very decent second disk of bonus tracks IMO and worth having, unlike many reissues with bogus bonus tracks that never get listened to a second time.


Damn, different stuff. Now I have another disc to look for.  :roll:

The Dark Side of the Moon: 30th Anniversary Edition [Hybrid SACD - DSD]
Pink Floyd | Format: Audio CD


I can't wait to hear from somebody who has heard the new DSOTM releases that came out this week. The 30th Anniv Editions (Both the SACD and the LP) were IMO both far and away the best SQ ever released in their respective formats. It will be tough to top them, but one can hope.  [-o<

Tom - we're waiting to hear from you on the DSOTM release. You need to add to your collection!!! How many copies of DSOTM do you own????

OK Pete, If you really must know the answer is 17.

Full Original recording

Analog

1) Original Capital US release
2) EMI (UK) Stereo
3) EMI (UK) SQ Quad
4) Toshiba Pro Use (Japanese)
5) Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs (Regular release, Not UHQR)
6) EMI 30th Anniversary  180g LP (UK release, pressed in Holland)
7) Pulse – EMI (UK) 4 LP set containing a full end to end live performance of DSTOM

Digital

8 ) Toshiba Pro Use (Japanese)
9) MFSL 24k Gold CD
10) 30th Anniversary SACD Hybrid
11) DVD-A 96/24 rip of the original Quad master tape
12) Pulse - Columbia (US) CD


Other DOSTM related releases

13) Dark Side of the Moon A Cappella – Vocamotion LP
14) Easy Star All-Stars – Dub Side of the Moon (Reggae version of DSOTM) - Easy Star CD
15) Easy Star All-Stars – Dubber Side of the Moon (a second disc of Reggae DSOTM) – Easy Star CD
16) US and Them – The Symphonic Pink Floyd – Point Music CD
17) The Alternate Side of the Moon – “ A collection of outtakes and early rough mixes from the recording sessions to DSOTM, Abbey Road Studios, Summer/Autumn 1972” – Thumbs Up Records

The reason I have been sitting on the sideline so far with regards to the new DSOTM release is the complete lack of information about it. Nowhere in any of the promotional material about it have them mentioned any effort to achieve  better sound nor do they even say if it is a heavy vinyl release. The 30th Anniv LP set the bar for SQ and if this new release in fact pushes that envelope I will be right there to buy one, but if it is simply a plain old compressed sounding record for the ipod crowd I'm not interested. I'm just waiting to see what the deal is since the pre-release info was very sketchy.

Disc 1.  This is essential listening for anyone who likes Mel Tormé or enjoys great jazz singing.  You couldn't find a more sympathetic accompanist than George Shearing, and together they give us some of the best performances of their careers.  Unfortunately Concorde discontinued this set.  If you can find one I highly recommend it.

or Peter Brötzmann to you...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbVpx5-XYng

Both rank among my favorite skwonker/squealer sax players.

I once showed a friend of mine the Brötzmann clip and he commented that the bassist's playing would improve considerably if he traded his bow in for a hacksaw.

Free jazz is not my thing, at least not at this time.

One good thing, for the 1st time I can sit through all of Bitches Brew. In comparison to Song X, it's like top 40 bubblegum music.  :lol:

But I'm distraught, I dropped the first record, reached out to grab it and gouged side 2 with my finger nails.  :duh

Should have let it drop, at 180g on a berber carpet, most likely nothing would have happened.

This group has a very unique sound. They can take a familiar melody and turn it inside out, upside down, reverse and fast forward without losing the theme. One of my favorites. :thumb: I'd like to have all their albums. Some are getting rare and expensive.

The sound quality of this CD is superb. :shock: :)

OK, now you have my attention. I would be really interested to know what you think of the SQ of these reissues compared to previous versions. The 30th Anniv. DSOTM releases IMO were the best sounding up to that time. So I am wondering how these stack up. (I think even if the experience editions are not as good sounding as some of the earlier versions  they would be worth having for the bonus material along.)

Bette Midler: The Divine Miss M

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51d4iPkyDjL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) MFSL LP

The is the first release I have picked up from MoFi's new Silver Label series and I have to say, I am very underwhelmed.  The SQ was OK, but the vinyl itself was only fair. Physically it looked OK, but sonically it was full of clicks and pops, more than I would be happy putting up with from even a stock pressing. Even the cover and the inner cardboard disc folder had a thin and flimsy feel.
If this is what the Silver Label is going to be about they will be able to count me out. I sure hope the quality of this pressing is the exception rather than the rule.

That's much better. Vintage Sinatra sound and vintage MoFi SQ.

IF anyone has been looking for one of these long out of print sets there is a guy selling one on A'gon for only $400. Not cheap, but also not that much considering you are getting 16 MoFi albums plus a GeoDisc.

Well I have to give a shoutout to Jerome, he hipped me to Stan Kenton on the Crackhouse thread, I quickly found 4 albums, and became a Kenton fan. I especially liked Standards In Silhouette, however side 2 is a little dinged, I'll have to find another copy as I prefered side 2, the last song especially.  :thumb:

I especially liked Standards In Silhouette, however side 2 is a little dinged, I'll have to find another copy as I prefered side 2, the last song especially.  :thumb:

Glad to hear that you're enjoying Kenton.  :thumb:  You should also consider grabbing a decent compilation of his 1940s stuff.  There are a number of tunes, such as Intermission Riff, Minor Riff, and others that are an important part of his catalog.  These were originally issued on 78s, and have been reissued on vinyl by Capitol and specialty labels such as Mosaic.  I have the 10 LP boxed set from Mosaic, which is long OOP.  A good place to start is this budget priced Proper Box...

http://www.amazon.com/Stan-Kenton-Story/dp/B000051TPC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1317903185&sr=8-1

You get 4 CDs, and it is the only set that I know of besides the pricey Mosaic set that includes nearly all of Kenton's important 1940s work.  Some of the very first recordings of Stan Getz are here (he joined Kenton in the mid 1940s).  Sound quality is good for the money, even great at times.

Hope your review went well.

John Coltrane: Coltrane/Prestige 7105

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51%2BO9oRiOyL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) Japanese Import CD

This was Coltrane's first solo album, released in 1957 on Prestige records. Kind of strange the way the cover was laid out so I'm not really sure what the official title is (I've seen it listed several ways and it doesn't help that in 1963 he did an album just titled "Coltrane" for Impulse records). But regardless of the title confusion I found this to be a great album from both a musical and a SQ basis. This one is definitely going on my vinyl search list.

Jason is one of my facortie subway musicians. He is a very talented guitarist who plays wide variety of music including (but not limited to) jazz, blues, western swing, latin and bluegrass. As a member of MUNY (Music Under New York) he is frequently found playing in railroad and subway stations all around NYC. I know every time he plays at Penn Station I end up missing my train.  :roll:

This is (IMO) a very enjoyable private issue CD that Jason sells during his subway gigs.

The Quincy Jones - Jimmy Nestico Orchestra: Basie and Beyond

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51%2BM%2BYILP8L._AA300_.jpg) CD

Musicall this is typical Quincy Jones and good big band music but boy is it loud. I had to turn my preamp down a full five clicks from where it was for the previous CD. And hardly any dynamic range. Just out of curiosity I fired up my cassette deck and checked the VU readings for this disc. The peaks seemed to brickwall at +5db (a variable setting that in and of itself has no meaning other than a benchmark for the highest peak), but the softer parts and the solos never came much below -1 db (and these were fast acting LED meters). So the total dynamic range was not much more than 6db. It was just all loud. Boy, the compressors were sure working overtime on this one.  #-o

I felt like the guy in the Maxell ad. :roll:

Shortly after Charlie Parker died in 1955, Savoy Records issued most of its 1940s Parker catalog on vinyl.  This particular record collects 14 master takes that were laid down between 1944 and 1948.  There are some amazing bop tunes here, supported by a number of dazzling Parker solos.

I don't own many minty original Blue Note deep groove pressings such as this one, because of their scarcity and cost.  Collectors have all but put these records out of reach of jazz lovers without very deep pockets and the resolve to hunt them down and obtain them.  I have about a dozen, and I did not pay crazy silly money to get them.  Most were lucky finds that I bought at a down-to-earth price.

This minty original Royal Roost mono pressing of Stittsville is one of the finest jazz records in my library.  When you listen to this record it is easy to understand why Stitt was compared to Charlie Parker.  Some critics said that Stitt was too much like Parker, but I disagree.  Stitt, like most sax players of the day, was greatly influenced by Parker.  Stitt was an amazing talent in his own right.  Highly recommended.

It's quite good Gene.  A mix of hard bop, blues, and soul jazz arrangements.  The B3 takes a subordinate role to Turrentine's sax, which is exactly as it should be.  The only tune out of place here is One O'Clock Jump, and while this performance sounds good it doesn't really gell with the rest of the track list.  Besides, it really can't compete with the version made famous by Count Basie, which featured Buddy DeFranco on clarinete and Wardell Gray on tenor sax.

I think that The Spoiler in 1966 was the last good album that Turrentine recorded for Blue Note.  In 1965 Alfred Lion sold Blue Note to Liberty Records and by 1967 he was out of the music business in retirement.  After Lion was gone Blue Note went down hill rather quickly.

My problem here is that the 1st jazz piece I ever acquired was Stanley's "Don't Mess with Mr. T." on CTI. This is the CD I bring to GTGs to check equipment response, not because it's a great recording but simply because I know the music so well. Hell, my Pandora station for Jazz is called Stanley Turrentine Radio. So, a so-so ST outing is especially disheartening to me. But I'll survive.

The Dark Side of the Moon: 30th Anniversary Edition [Hybrid SACD - DSD]
Pink Floyd | Format: Audio CD


I can't wait to hear from somebody who has heard the new DSOTM releases that came out this week. The 30th Anniv Editions (Both the SACD and the LP) were IMO both far and away the best SQ ever released in their respective formats. It will be tough to top them, but one can hope.  [-o<

Tom - we're waiting to hear from you on the DSOTM release. You need to add to your collection!!! How many copies of DSOTM do you own????

OK Pete, If you really must know the answer is 17.

Full Original recording

Analog

1) Original Capital US release
2) EMI (UK) Stereo
3) EMI (UK) SQ Quad
4) Toshiba Pro Use (Japanese)
5) Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs (Regular release, Not UHQR)
6) EMI 30th Anniversary  180g LP (UK release, pressed in Holland)
7) Pulse – EMI (UK) 4 LP set containing a full end to end live performance of DSTOM

Digital

8 ) Toshiba Pro Use (Japanese)
9) MFSL 24k Gold CD
10) 30th Anniversary SACD Hybrid
11) DVD-A 96/24 rip of the original Quad master tape
12) Pulse - Columbia (US) CD


Other DOSTM related releases

13) Dark Side of the Moon A Cappella – Vocamotion LP
14) Easy Star All-Stars – Dub Side of the Moon (Reggae version of DSOTM) - Easy Star CD
15) Easy Star All-Stars – Dubber Side of the Moon (a second disc of Reggae DSOTM) – Easy Star CD
16) US and Them – The Symphonic Pink Floyd – Point Music CD
17) The Alternate Side of the Moon – “ A collection of outtakes and early rough mixes from the recording sessions to DSOTM, Abbey Road Studios, Summer/Autumn 1972” – Thumbs Up Records

The reason I have been sitting on the sideline so far with regards to the new DSOTM release is the complete lack of information about it. Nowhere in any of the promotional material about it have them mentioned any effort to achieve  better sound nor do they even say if it is a heavy vinyl release. The 30th Anniv LP set the bar for SQ and if this new release in fact pushes that envelope I will be right there to buy one, but if it is simply a plain old compressed sounding record for the ipod crowd I'm not interested. I'm just waiting to see what the deal is since the pre-release info was very sketchy.

Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon (2011 Remaster from the "Why Pink Floyd?" series)

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41GIywDOz6L._SL500_AA300_.jpg) CD

Got a chance to give a quick listen to this last  on a good hi res system (MG IIIs, Dyna tube monoblocks, Cary Pre, EE DAC etc.) and compare it to the redbook layer of the 30th Anniv SACD Hybrid.  The first thing I noticed was that the new release was cut at a considerably higher overall level than the SACD (Warning Will Robinson!  :shock:). Then I noticed that the amplitude peaks on "Time" (bells during the clock sequence and some of the noted during the guitar solos) seemed to have a jagged kind of distorted edge on them. This edge along with the overall high volume leads me to believe that what I am hearing is compressor artifacts an that this new release has been mastered with an eye towards the ipod crowd not toward overall best SQ.

Granted this is only a first impression after a relatively short listening session, but at least in my mind, this does not look promising. I would like to listen to it for a longer amount of time perhaps on another system before passing final judgement , but as of now this doesn't seem like it will be a good candidate to become #20.

Has anyone else listened to this disc and have any other comments they could offer?

Just to clarify what I was trying to say, I didn't mean to imply that this release sounded bad, just that it did not sound better than the 30th Anniversary version. It is not horrible sounding in and of itself, but since it is not any better than the 30th Anniv. edition there is not reason to the dedicate cash nor shelf space that would be required to add it to my collection.

No I got this one at Infinity, but it was in the dollar bin, so that is pretty close. It was a great find. Lookslikeit has never been played. Shinney vinyl, zero scratches and not even any spindle marks. I bought this for my son since he has no Sinatra records in his collection, but it turns out that it is so nice that its staying with me.

Ben Webster joins Clark Terry on this recording date, captured nicely on this minty stereo Impulse! vinyl pressing.  Terry is his usual brilliant self on this album.  If you find yourself interested then buy it for Clark Terry and not Ben Webster.  Webster is also great but this record is really all about Terry's virtuosity on the trumpet and flugelhorn.

Absolutely agree. I only have the 33 1/3 version, but The Nutcracker side has long been my reference standard for classical recordings.

Unfortunately it has been out of print for quite a while and a clean copy of The Royal Ballet is likely going to cost you a King's ransom.

Some of the most important music of the bop era can be found on this set.  Sound quality is a little uneven on the early discs in the set and there's a little too much NR in spots.  But it's still a must have set for Charlie Parker completists such as myself.  Listening to some of the sessions for Dial at the moment and the sound is remarkably good.

I thought about starting another thread for this but decided not to because I doubt I will be motivated to do this regularly enough to make it worthwhile.  So I hope you will all be tolerant of a little diversion.

Tonight I decided to compare the 45 RPM 180g ORG reissue of this Johnny Hartman recording to a minty original Impulse! stereo pressing that I recently acquired.

I own a large number of vintage vinyl pressings from the 1950s and 1960s.  To my ears, this is the high water mark for vinyl microgroove records.  I don't buy reissues because I think a remaster will improve the sound.  The folks who were doing recording and mastering work in the 50s and 60s really knew their craft and it seems extremely doubtful to me that someone such as Steve Hoffman, Bernie Grundman, or Doug Sax is going to come along decades after the fact and improve their work.  I buy reissues mainly because originals in good shape are too scarce and just too costly to acquire.  The price of a genuine Blue Note deep groove pressing with a W63rd Street address on the label that is in NM condition is typically well over $100, and depending on the artist it can run several times that.  So to me $50 for a high quality 45RPM Blue Note reissue can be a true value.

I use a SOTA Star Sapphire turntable.  It's a Series III that is about 20 years old.  The tonearm is a SME 309.  I use a Ortofon Jubilee MC cartridge and a Ray Samuels Audio Nighthawk phono preamp.  The RSA nighthawk is the only solid state component in my system.  My preamp and mono block power amps are tube driven.

(http://www.indierockfan.net/pics/JohnnyHartman_Comparison.jpg)

On the left is the original 1963 Impulse! pressing and on the right is the ORG 45 reissue.  The jackets are practically identical with the exception that the original is a little faded and the laminate has picked up a little bit of haze.  But heck the thing is almost 50 years old.

My main motive for doing this particular comparison is that I found the ORG 45 reissue to be a little bass heavy and a tad smoky on first listen.  I thought then that if I had a chance to buy a nice original pressing for not a lot of money then I would do so and compare them.  Most of the time when I listen to these 45's I am in audio heaven, and would never feel the need to compare one to an original pressing.  But with this one I felt something was amiss.  I landed the minty original 1963 pressing for $16, purchased on eBay.  I was really surprised it wasn't bid up any higher than that.

The reissue sounds excessively warm and smoky when compared to the original.  The bass heaviness of the reissue was also confirmed on comparison.  The original has nice bass response, but not excessively exaggerated like the reissue.  I also felt the original was a little more resolving than the 45, especially on the piano and guitar.  Cymbals sounded bit more natural on the original, whereas on the reissue they sounded a little more hazy.  This really has me wondering about the source tapes that were used by ORG for the reissue.

My preference is clearly for the original in this instance.  The ORG reissue is disappointing when directly compared to the Impulse! original.

" I was really surprised it wasn't bid up any higher than that."

Well, it is only Johnny Hartman after all. I've got one thing of his everyone raves about, I find it "meh".

Interesting comparison though, if not mastered from different tapes, maybe the ORG engineer was just a little 'ham-fisted' at the controls.

I like my Impulse releases, wish I had more.

You did clean the stylus prior to putting on the ORG version, right???

Actually no.  I'm not particularly anal about it, and it is my experience that cleaning the stylus after every LP or two is unnecessary.  Doing it after every side like Michael Fremer recommends is absurd.

I use a Onzow Zerodust every few days and I wet clean the stylus monthly.  I won't break from that routine because one record has poor sound.

From Amazon:
After several projects that hinted at his interest in jazz, David Grisman split this album between swing and bluegrass. The four jazz numbers include a big-band outing on "Dawg Jazz," and a guest appearance by violinist Stephane Grappelli on "Steppin' With Stephane," an appearance by violinist Darol Anger on "Fumblebee," and a version of "In a Sentimental Mood" with both Grappelli and Anger. The flip side of the LP finds Grisman's string group, Mike Marshal, Tony Rice, Rob Wasserman plus guest banjoist Earl Scruggs, stretching the boundaries of the bluegrass idiom on tunes such as "Swamp Dawg," "Dawggy Mountain Breakdown," and "Happy Birthday, Bill Monroe." A diverse and continually interesting set.

Rather than jabbing, let me do for you what you've done for me, make a suggestion. When I want to hear a male voice singing jazz/blues, I put on Al Smith. He didn't do much, being more a gospel singer, but I thoroughly enjoy what I've found. From his bio;

"Al Smith was a “soul-blues singer” before critics invented the term. The Ohio-born vocalist had been a member of Leon Lumpkins’s innovative Gospel Clefs, and his singing retained the same “hugely surging passion,” in the words of Nat Hentoff, after he made the transition to rhythm and blues."

I like 'Hear My Blues'.

This is the first disc from the 3 CD boxed set If You Got To Ask, You Ain't Got It, produced by Orrin Keepnews.  It's a great set and provides a nice overview of Fats Waller's career.  I consider Waller to be one of the most important figures in jazz in the 1930s, along side of Duke Ellington.  I recently stepped up and bought a collection of the entire recorded output of Waller, issued by JSP records on 31 CDs spread across 6 boxed sets.  Can't wait to receive that music.

Herb Jeffries isn't a name that anyone here is likely to recognize.  There are only a few albums to his credit, all recorded in the late 1950s.  His claim to fame was that he did a stint in Duke Ellington's early 1940s band.  His deep baritone voice might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I like it.  Let's see if anyone here can tell me who that is gracing the album cover (without researching it on the internet).

This could easily compete with the "Whipped Cream and Other Delights" cover. Strange that I haven't seen it before in a list of hottest/sexiest album covers.

Herb Jeffries isn't a name that anyone here is likely to recognize.  There are only a few albums to his credit, all recorded in the late 1950s.  His claim to fame was that he did a stint in Duke Ellington's early 1940s band.  His deep baritone voice might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I like it.  Let's see if anyone here can tell me who that is gracing the album cover (without researching it on the internet).

Led Zepplin: Mothership
(http://www.ledzeppelin.com/images/ms_vinyl.jpg) (4) 180 LP Set

Beautifully packaged, this set features 4 180g discs pressed by RTI. Like a lot of RTI discs the contain a fair amount of clicks and pops. Not so much that they actively interfere with the music, but they are a little annoying. I am hoping that after another couple of plays and trips through the VPI cleaner they will all but disappear. Other than that the sound is A+ and there is no meed to discuss the quality of the music.  8)

Actually I have the vinyl edition of this on the Angel label, can't believe what Andre can do with a trumpet.

This is the classical counterpoint to the great jazz trumpet players.

This ORG 45 RPM 180g reissue has really nice sonics...that are unfortunately marred in a few spots by pressing defects.  These records were pressed at RTI so I can't say I'm surprised by the blemishes.  This doesn't wreck the listening experience but in my view when you are throwing down $50 to $60 for an album the customer has every right to expect a clean pressing with no physical defects.

PT vinyl is definitely rare, and expensive even if you can score one right off the presses. They are collectable for sure. Not so certain the sound quality is any better than digital though since they are alll digitally recorded and mastered.

SW's solo stuff is more in lines with early PT. Mostly atmospheric with some of the hard stuff there for effect. Definitely artsy and not commercial at all. I do like this new one better than Insurgentes, although there were a few things on that there were very good too.

George Benson: Guitar Man

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51S6-eMAIPL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)Concord 180g LP

On this album Benson dumps the pop/disco flavor of many of his previous albums and returns to his roots of good ole guitar based jazz, a welcome change in my book. Musically a very nice album (although I have been partial to George Benson all the way back to his CTI albums , so take that for what it is worth.)

The 180g pressing form Concord is a bit on the noisy side with more clicks and pops that I am used to tolerating, but on the other side of the coin is is not being marketed nor priced as a super audiophile release. So in that light while it has more surface noise than I expect from a 180g release, it is not really any more than I would hear on a standard vinyl pressing (which is how it is priced.) Normal price is right around $18 and it can be had right now on Amazon for 12 and change.

There have been a number of artists doing cover type albums lately (Rod Stewart, Michael McDonald etc.)  and some of them ended up being decent albums. So I thought I would give this a try.  Hey it might have been good, not likely, but it might have. :roll:

Minty Atlantic pressing.  If you are only going to have one album from the Modern Jazz Quartet in your music library then this double LP should be it.  The two LPs that make up this album come in a heavy laminated gatefold jacket.  The sound quality is truly outstanding and the group covers material that it did for both Prestige and Atlantic in a collection of inspired performances.

Lou Donaldson: Blues Walk

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51XO0OF85qL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) Blue Note CD

Very disappointed with Amazon on this one. Found a dealer advertizing a used (supposedly mint) 180g LP copy of this album. I ordered it and when it arrived it was a stock paper thin Blue Note pressing from the early 70s. and not only was it a crappy pressing, but it looked like somebodies cat used it for a scratching post. Would not allow an LP that rough anywhere near my stylus. Contacted the dealer and he said he would refund the purchase price (but not the shipping) if I shipped it back a my expense. What a bunch of cr@p. He totally misrepresents what the item is and I have to eat shipping both ways. Not even worth the time and effort to ship is for what I would end up getting back. I should have know given the low initial price. Well thank God for feedback. This is going to be fun.  :twisted:

Anyway, this was a long way of saying I am stuck listening to the CD version for now.  :(

Very disappointed with Amazon on this one. Found a dealer advertizing a used (supposedly mint) 180g LP copy of this album.

I'm always hesitant to buy records advertised as "mint."  I've always been anal about my records, even as a teenager.  I would immediately put every record I bought into a poly sleeve, even sealed records.  Still, when I go to sell them now even the minty-est records have some story to tell--slight creasing at the corner, light scratches on the cover, feathering on the glossy record surface, a single spindle trail.  Any dealer that doesn't go into that kind o detail about the record's condition doesn't deserve my money.M

Here's what Goldmine says about "mint" and "Near Mint" condition records:

    Mint (M)   Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, If at all.
    Near Mint (NM or M-)   A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly)that no record is ever truly perfect.

    The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.

    An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like.

    Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.

    Near Mint is the highest price listed in all Goldmine price guides. Anything that exceeds this grade, in the opinion of both buyer and seller, is worth significantly more than the highest Goldmine book value.

Stanley Turrentine ~ "Joyride," Blue Note; orchestra arranged and conducted by Oliver Nelson; a French Direct Metal Master reissue from the mid-80s. Cool big-band sound playing hard-bop stuff. Outstanding.

Tom,
Bring it over! Remember when we compared my original Stevie Ray Vaughn "Couldn't Stand the Weather" LP with your Mo-Fi reissue?... what a difference in mastering techniques... my original had the raw, boomy sound & your Mo-Fi had a refined, toned down studio sound...

Debussy for Daydreaming

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ZNQHMZNRL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) Philips CD

Another of the Philps 'topical" classical collections.

I find this series very handy for casual listening. You pick a mood and they have a collection of music that sets a musical tone around that mood. Saves me the trouble of picking out a playlist when I'm busy doing other things ad just want some music for background support.

Track listing and samples:

Prokofiev: Peter and the Wolf - William F. Buckley, Narrator

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61--mUx7FSL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) ProArte CD

Rather dry unimpassioned narration, basically, exactly what you would expect from William F. Buckley.

But I had to do it. Peter and the Wolf is second only to Dark Side of the Moon in my collecting of various versions.  8)

I don't know why (except for maybe the celebrity factor), but this CD goes for $20 and up on Amazon. (I paid less than a buck at the Crack House for mine.  ;) )

On FM radio... this definitely goes lower than the usual 50Hz 'limit' of FM. This station WCPE is an audiophile quality station. Lots of dynamic compression, but otherwise awesome sound.

The original movie soundtrack was issued on LP, but the 25 minute side limit required editing the original composition to fit. So this is a re-recording on CD with the full original composition without interruption. Awesome baritone voices combined with organ accompaniment. Lots of low frequency excitement.

The movie is very cool too, now on Blu Ray

Brand new re-release (2011) on 180g Vinyl from FridayMusic. Mastered by Kevin Gray @ RTI / AcousTech.

I saw these guys in concert ~ 4 years back in Palm Springs. Never knew they had so many hits! This album is great; every song is great & the sonics are great! Highly recommended (at least on vinyl). Picked up at my local crack house today (Infinity Records).

Sealed, brand new, 1965 pressing (import German pressing) from Reprise of "Sinatra Sings Great Songs from Great Britain". This album is really good... sonics fantastic... Frank sounds great in this June 1962 London, England recording...

Not one of Jimmy's best efforts. An overly large amount of reverb make it sound like he is playing in am echoy bathroom and the performance is kind of reserved and lacks the reckless abandon that characterizes other live Buffett albums released both before and after this one. If you are looking for a live Buffett album there are much better ones to chose from.

Thanks for posting the link, Chris.  Based on the cover and the year the album was recorded, I probably wouldn't have given this a second look, no less a listen.  I expected it to sound like a cross between Bitches Brew and the free form noise into which Coltrane descended.  That first cut bops and bops hard.  Very nice eye opener.

Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here - 35th Anniversary SACD

(http://store.acousticsounds.com/images/medium/CAPP_33453_SA__77001__10252011035943-4854.jpg)

First impression after a quick listen on the main system is that this release bests the Columbia Gold CD release and is damn close to as good  as the Half Speed Mastered LP (tonight's job is to dig out the UK import vinyl and compare it to that.)

Brought it upstairs to listen to the 5.1 SACD layer in the HT system and all I can say is Wow! What a great jib they did on the surround mix. Everything had a place that made sense and it was not just gimmicky sound tricks. It was like the album was made to be played in surround. (Which it very likely was. Back in the day Pink Floyd was all over the multi channel concept, remember this was in the time of the failed Quadrophonic experiment. Pink Floyd actually had their concert PA systems at the time set up with rear speakers and had a tech who actually used to "steer"  the sound around the auditoriums during concerts using this huge mechanical joystick device.)

I heard this incredible CD on the radio driving home tonight from Carl's shindig. I am very excited to hear this on hifi. Best recorded organ I've ever heard, low notes are so clear and powerful, not obscured by too much hall. The Barber Toccata Festiva is incredible. He wrote it just weeks before the outbreak of WW1. Inspired, powerful performance by Philadelphia with Christoph Eschenbach.

http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/album.jsp?album_id=148589

R E V I E W S

(...) a Saint-Saëns Organ Symphony that blazes its way right to the top of the pile. Ondine provides a recording of weight and immediacy, capturing the distinctly expressive sound of the massed Philadelphia strings - substantive, meaty, a living tissue - across a soundstage that is wide and coherent, and that puts organ and orchestra in the same space.
Ted Libbey, The Absolute Sound, August 2007, Golden Ear Music Awards, Editor's Choice Award

I have never heard an organ sound so good from top to bottom in a thoroughly natural concert hall setting.
Arthur Lintgen, Fanfare Magazine, July/August 2007

The inauguration of Verizon Hall's new organ has been preserved for all of us in one of the most outstanding SACDs yet. Somehow, producer Martha de Francisco and her team (assisted by Polyhymnia) have captured the detail, sweetness, and power of the orchestra, as well as the organ’s pipes and pedals, in a recording that is more than a sound spectacular.
Kalman Rubinson, Stereophile Magazine, May 2007

The playing is jaw-droppingly beautiful (those Philadelphia strings!), and the organ so well-integrated into the sound (...) The recording itself is a stunner (...) demonstration-quality result. (...) The balance is utterly realistic, and the bass is staggeringly good if your system can reproduce it; os is the surround sound from the SACD layer. (...) As a record of a great occasion it's a winner.
Andrew McGregor, BBC Radio 3, April 30, 2007, Disc of the Week

Another winner of a SACD from the new collaboration of The Philadelphia Orchestra and the enterprising Finnish classical label Ondine. (...) This new recording (of Poulenc's Organ Concerto) stands out as the best yet in my opinion. A highly recommended hi-res surround release, and packed with nearly the limit of music one disc can hold, plus provided in a slipcase with a larger note booklet.
John Sunier, Audiophile Audtion, April 2007, Multichannel Disc of the Month

The orchestra is in glorious form, with rich strings and a ringing brass section (...). The Barber and Saint-Saëns are played in a celebratory mood, with organist, orchestra, and conductor syncing up perfectly.

I'll give this a qualified recommendation.  If you are open-minded musically you might enjoy it.  Ulmer borrows from several genres in this, his most accessible record before he turned to making blues albums.  There are elements of funk, reggae, and world music woven throughout the album.  It's a great record in my opinion, though I tend to favor his earlier, more adventurous free jazz recordings such as Tales of Captain Black and Free Lancing.

During 1950-51, Stan Kenton did the unthinkable by putting together a 40-piece orchestra that included a full string section. The music was quite uncommercial, complex, and advanced with the emphasis on the arrangements rather than the soloists (which include trumpeters Shorty Rogers and Maynard Ferguson, trombonist Milt Bernhart, altoist Art Pepper, tenor saxophonist Bob Cooper, and guitarist Laurindo Almeida). This two-CD set has all of the music originally released on the albums Innovations in Modern Music and Stan Kenton Presents, plus 14 other key selections by the forbidding but intriguing orchestra.

Dexter Gordon - Doin' Allright

First off I'd like to say I'm not a huge Jazz fan. I have found Jazz albums I like and this is one of them. After reading alot about these 45 rpm LP's on A/N I decided I'd like to try one. This one became available for a 20% discount (sealed) so I purchased it.  Now on to the Lp. The packaging is heavy and beautifully well done. The vinyl is spotless and I found it to be extremely quiet. Now to the sound. I do not have another pressing to compare this too but the sound was just tremendous. I'm afraid that's about the best I can do as to a description of the sound as I have a difficult time putting it into words.

Earl Klugh: Whispers and Promises

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41JeMkW2MEL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) WB LP

An eclectic mix of music today driven not so much by my desire to listen to anything in particular but rather my desire to whittle down the size of my "yet to be played" piles.

Lately the Crack House has been berry berry good to me. (http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSmdFdnJc2Jj11k0LmrXddMgJ92d0AKt9J9vjDLCq5e8dgFNQacYQ)

I had the same problem with the new George Benson LP. The first side had some crackling sporadically through it. The second side was fine. I contacted the seller and they sent me a new replacement copy which I have yet to play and check out (waiting for my phono stage to get fixed).

Just heard this on the radio, the best Romeo and Juliet I've heard yet. Awesome power of Colorado/Alsop, awesome full range Naxos recording, quiet space, natural 20th row miking. Bass drums, brass, over the top!! It's in my wishlist.  The 4th Symphony should be even better, with even more gunpowder in the composition.

Dang, bought this recently and yet to play it, (standard version), why did you line out trumpet, does he play mostly flugelhorn? Or are you trying to make the point that it's more than just trumpet music?

Either way, I'll put it on after I walk the dog and find out.

The label on the lp says it's a 'microgroove'. yet album cover says it's an OJC/Riverside issue, so that must be a re-issue, right? Regardless, very nice on a holiday morning.

It's an Original Jazz Classics reissue.  That isn't a bad thing Gene.  They do a really nice mastering job that is usually very faithful to the original pressing.  I have had the chance to compare a few OJC vinyl reissues to some Prestige and Riverside deep groove pressings and honestly I could barely tell the difference.  The OJC reissues might loose out a little to a 180g pressing because the former may have a little more surface noise, and a 45 RPM pressing will be quieter and have a smidgen more resolution.  Since most OJC vinyl reissues sell for less than $15, you get a lot of great music for your money.  I have about a hundred of them and spin them all the time.

I hear you there Tom.

I've played it 3 times this morning in background as I try to bring my desktop back to life with an image, (finally found the hack to get it to 'accept' the image from my server), and preparing my 1st ever turkey. It seems like a great album, and quiet, and all I did was spritz it with Discwasher fluid and run the Discwasher brush over it.

And I get a kick out of the fact the original OJC clear wrapper is still on it, with a suggested list price of $5.98 new, and I paid $8 used for it at the Allentown crackhouse. But it's $8 well spent.  :thumb:

That's an old repressing that you have Gene, probably from the 1980s.  OJC was started by Fantasy Records back in 1983.  Current retail price on OJC vinyl is $12.95.  I usually get them for a little less but don't mind paying a few bucks more for them if they are out of print.  Of course, there are some scalpers on eBay who list them for considerably more.

I fear that OJC vinyl, and even the label, might be dead.  Concord (now the parent label of OJC) has not issued any new vinyl in several months, and has stopped selling OJC products on its website.  Everything is now linked to Amazon and a number of recent titles are out of stock or listed as unavailable.  I sure would like to know what that is all about.

Got my phono stage back after it began blowing fuses. It was a bad high power diode that shorted under load (no wonder I couldn;t find it myself). So I'm back on the vinyl trail again tonight.

Enjoying the music on this tonight, but you are right Tom, this record has got some bizarre surface noise for a new record. If I were to recommend it I would have to say go for the digital on this one boys.

The final real album (1978) from Steven Georgiou before he disappeared (although he recently came back with some pretty mediocre stuff). This one isn't earth shattering but interesting none the less, good sound on vinyl as expected. Back to a simpler style than some of his other later stuff. Very introspective lyrics before he made his final conversion and disappeared from the scene.

The Trumpet was made for sound and isolation of vibrations using rather extroadinary measures. It was not made for serviceability, and John had a really tough time getting to things to test and make the repair. I paid for his time and expertise rather than parts on this one. Jim agrees that this is a beast of a phono stage to service, but it sounds oh so nice.

next up - America - Hideaway on Vinyl (1976) I remember this one fondly, especially the song Watership Down, because I just finished reading that book when this album came out. Bunnies, it's about bunnies.

Hey Guys, just a small request. This forum is titled "Album Reviews". Would you please write a line or two about the album you post here so the rest of us get some kind of flavor on what it is about?

It doesn;t need to be a full fledged review, but even one line that tells us something about the band or the songs or the album would be nice. Even if it's a quip.

I myself would like to follow up on some of these and track them down, so something of your opinion on it would help greatly.

Thanks,
Bob

Emerging from the Canterbury, England musical community that also launched Gong and Kevin Ayers' the Whole World, the whimsical progressive rock unit Hatfield and the North formed in 1972. Named in honor of a motorway sign outside of London, the group's founding membership brought together a who's who of the Canterbury art rock scene -- vocalist/bassist Richard Sinclair was a former member of Caravan, guitarist Phil Miller had tenured with Robert Wyatt in Matching Mole, and drummer Pip Pyle had served with both Gong and Delivery

Bob I don't know if your into Prog Rock or not I never knew about this LP until Lonewolf turned me on to them. I've always been a big fan of Caravan and this is in the same vein. I've been on a hunt for this LP and today I found it at my local haunt.......Bill

Recorded 1967 on the Columbia Label and is catalog number CS 9704. Never released to CD. Has the 'Brubeck' sound, but with a Getz-like Samba sax flavor by new addition Gerry Mulligan.

No samples to link to, sorry. You'll just have to believe me, it's good.

Yes, I am big into prog, but not really the whole Canterbery scene I'm afraid.

Right now I'm listening to the new Steve Wilson solo LP - Grace for Drowning
- This is definitely not porcupine Tree. Far more ethereal, setting a somber mood, then exploding with metal guitar, or some big percussion. This is not radio play by any means. This is sit down and take it all in music, and really should probably be accompanied by a video by Lasse Hole (his main graphics guy for many years now).

Oh yeah, this may just be the best prog release of the year for me too, and I've probably checked out 15-20 new prog releases this year, so far.

I like their music, but in small doses.  It's a bit frenetic and self congratulatory for me.

The Best of Chet Baker - Original Hits

CD, label OSA, #221498-205

I think this is a knock-off, can't find it listed anywhere online.

I bought it as I didn't have a version of what's supposedly Chet's greatest hit - "My Funny Valentine". I hope this aint it. It's an instrumental version only, live in club based on the people talking in background and glasses clinking. Liner notes claim it's with Gerry Mulligan from 5/53 date. It's fairly pedestrian sounding, and rest of CD is worse.

Frank Sinatra | Format: vinyl

This is different, a 'concept' album by Sinatra, as close to rock/pop sounding in tone as he got. It tells the story of a man in a small town who's wife has left him. On first listen, left me cold, I expected something along the lines of 'For Only The Lonely' or Tom's recent listing of 'Strangers In The Night'.

On 3rd listen, it's growing on me. It's Sinatra, but it's .............., (I don't know).

Here's a better description and samples at this link;

Lindsey Buckingham - Seeds We Sow
 (CD)
No doubt there are some songs on here that have that nostalgic feel of his premier days with that very popular band, but most of this seems to be pretty introspective. It is a quite nice album that is certainly not going to be nominated for best album of the year, but it is a fun listen nevertheless.

One of my favorite records is "Buckingham Nicks."  I really don't like much of what Stevie nicks has done outside of Fleetwood Mac, which says how good Lindsey Buckingham must be.

They have a new album out released this year. Haven't heard it yet so I can;t really comment on it.

There are so many bands from the 70's that are now reforming and putting out new albums, like Alice Cooper, et al.

Tanita Tikaram- Eleven kinds of Loneliness

Eclectic folk/jazz/worldmusic based record recorded in 1992.  Spare, stark, longing, sexy.  Brilliant musicianship from sidemen I've never heard of.  Tikaram has a very low voice, and sounds like a mix between Tracy Chapman and Fiona Apple; at once sad and vulnerable, yet forceful and strong. 

A really nice surprise from the stack of records I got from my Southern version of the Crack House.

I mean don't get me wring, revolver is a great album, but O never really thought of it as Psychedelic. And looking firther down the ist I find The Beach Boys, The Byrds, Donovan and the Bee Gees all of which are pretty far from the Psychedelic realm in my book, but there is no listing for Dark Side of the Moon.  :shock:

Go figure.

Dave Brubeck Trio, The Featuring Gerry Mulligan - Blues Roots

So 2 Brubeck w/Mulligan LPs I stumbled upon are quickly becoming my favs, how's that? Neither this or Compadre were ever released on CD, so it was good fortune that after paying for my haul last trip to the crackhouse I then had to wait for Bill to settle his tab. While waiting I made an idle pass through the 'new arrivals' bin, and walked away with a half dozen Gerry Mulligan titles, including the 2 with the Brubeck Trio - SCORE! Of course, I had to pay again, but it's proven worth it.

What Is There to Say
Gerry Mulligan | Format: vinyl

So I made the mistake of having this album playing in the background while I attempt to transcribe my notes from my business trip of last week. However, I keep pulling off the headset to listen to the beginning of each new track as they start in the next room. Finally, I gave up on my notes and just went to the listening area to check this out. This is a quartet featuring no piano player, and Art Farmer on trumpet instead of Chet Baker, and it's very very good. Link to samples below.

There's a lot of polarized reviews of this album. She sounds alarmingly like Bonnie Raitt, and Derek Trucks is, well himself. Nothing startingly new and innovative here, but it is a pleasant listen.

So I dragged the Vandies upstairs to the bedroom finally, and connected them to an Onkyo amp and Adcom pre that Eleazar gave me, plus a Sony CD player I bought for the ex over 10 years ago that she never touched, and put this on. Sounds pretty good.  :thumb:

Reflections 
Stan Getz | Format: Audio CD

In the midst of his Bossa Nova phase he cut this lp with strings and orchestra going for a more 'pop' feel/audience. When it works it's great, but a few tracks do get a little schmaltzy. Still, the overall presentation is enjoyable.

This is during Miles' peak of trumpeting skill. He had to compete with Dizzy, Clifford and Chet Baker, Kenny Dorham, and many others, and he did. By 1952 he had lost his "baby fat" heard in his early recordings with Bird, but he still didn't know that he was "Miles." Technique, humility, sobriety and happiness make a wonderful combination in a jazz trumpeter.

There are 2 volumes to this Live at the Barrel set, and some other sides with Jimmy Forest. This is a Prestige LP mastered in 1984. Sound quality is pretty good for an amateur live recording from that period. Recommended for Miles bebop fans.

This LP was issued by Savoy a couple of years after Charlie Parker's death and contains several previously unreleased sides.  There is no session information on the jacket.  I can tell that the cut of Groovin' High is with Dizzy Gillespie on trumpet but aside from that who the other musicians are is anyone's guess.

Here's some eye candy for those who actually read this thread. I've only listened to it once so I really don't have a feel for the music yet - nothing really stood out though. Clapton plays the guitar parts, which are noticeably bluesey. But I don't think they fit the music as much as Jeff Beck's guitar did on Amused to Death.

Analogue Productions 45RPM 180g vinyl reissue.  This is the first Art Blakey/Jazz Messengers LP that I have heard outside of their work on Columbia and Blue Note.  The music isn't like their earlier work, which is far superior IMO.  Some of the tracks and arrangements would be more at home with the Miles Davis Quintet than the Jazz Messengers.  The SQ was a little disappointing as well.  The mastering doesn't live up to the other LPs in the Analogue Productions Impulse! 45RPM vinyl reissue series.  If you want the best that this series has to offer then look no further than Freddie Hubbard's Body and Soul or John Coltrane's A Love Supreme.

FYI the cover you show was only avaiable in the first pressing, after which the censors demanded and got a more "modest " cover with a black bar covering the butt crack. As such the bare butt cover is more collectable and commands a higher price, which conversly means that if the cover is not important to you a few bucks can be saved by geting a "family friendly" version.

I have got so many Christmas albums by so many people that I just refuse to buy any more. It seems that to consider yourself "professional" you have to release a Christmas album, and some people just keep doing it over and over again because it's pretty much all they can sell anymore (e.g. Mannheim Steamoller, Trans Siberian Orchestra, The Chipmunks, etc.).

That's where the lifetime residuals reside. Get a Christmas hit and you are set.

We play the same 8 CDs every year. The Time Life 2CD compilation has every big Christmas song on it. I do miss the Nat King Cole Christmas record we listened to when I was a kid. I might grab that some year...  And Jimmy Smith Christmas....
And Kenton Christmas....  :D

Minty Verve stereo pressing.  This album brings Fitzgerald together with Frank DeVol and a full string section.  I usually don't care for strings with my jazz as I feel it dilutes the music too much and turns it into something that you might expect from, say, Jo Stafford.  This is probably one of the very few jazz with strings records that I like.  Stan Getz provides some nice tenor playing on this album but there is not enough of it.  The real attraction here is Ella singing with a string section.

OK Pete, I picked up a  Caig's kit over two months ago and it has been sitting on the shelf ever since.  :roll:

Well, I cleaned and tightened all of my connections and then gave my QRP Tillerman LP a whirl and it certainly sounded significantly better. I guess I have been a bit negligent with my general maintenance routines.

"I Was A Teanage Werewolf - Live" The Cramps | Format: DVD

[smg width=500 id=1078]

A 2 disc 2 concert set. I just bought this off of ebay, it looks like they're DVRs and I can't find any real info about the DVDs on line. Video is SD cerca the early '80s, so not great, but the audio is pretty good, and the feel of a concert by The Cramps is captured here. They are an aquired taste, and you'll love them or loath them... But this is, The Cramps!

After cleaning and re-lubing my TT bearing I found myself rechecking all my other settings, VTA, anti-skate, cartridge loading, speed controller, etc. So I'm not indulging in some sonic masterpieces to fine tune things (and they do sound very good). Just a side of each.

New agey, mostly electronic keyboards, catchy songs, and ooohh the sonics on this.
(http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/29/3d/e850810ae7a08d41cf22c110.L._AA300_.jpg)

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/514umIR-vzL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Yes, that Lyle Mays, from the Pat Metheny group. If you like Pat you must hear Lyle's first two solo disks if you can find them. Great music (you can certainly hear his influence on Pat's music) and great sonics.

Nat Adderley wasn't a particularly innovative soloist on cornet and he was no doubt overshadowed by his brother Julian "Cannonball" Adderley.  But he was a jazz talent in his own right and recorded a number of great albums for Riverside as leader. Work Song is probably the best of the lot.  He also appears on several of his brother's albums as a sideman.  This minty Riverside deep groove mono pressing has become somewhat rare.  Prices are generally in the $100 range for a really nice example.  If that's too rich for your blood then I can definitely recommend the Original Jazz Classics CD reissue, which you can find on Amazon for about $10.

That's one of my favorites Tom. Desmond's solo on "The Song Is You" is one of his best on record, imo.

Bill, the piano in Bradlees club on your last record there was Desmond's own 9 foot Baldwin that he practiced and composed with for most of his career. He donated it to the club before he died.   Bradlees was the ultimate networking joint for jazz musicians, headquarters for NY Jazz scene.

That's a good one, but hard to find on vinyl, as it was out of print for a long time even before CDs came out. I have a copy that my uncle bought as a teenager when it first came out.

The Jazz at Oberlin and Jazz at College of Pacific sides are also worth grabbing if you love Desmond. These three contain his best playing, imo.

Here's one singer/songwriter that deserves a wider audience. Not because her voice is amazing, it is good though and she has a quirky way of playing off the downbeat that makes you want to listen. Not because her songs are amazing, though they are quirky and good and interesting and stick in your head. Not because her piano playing is earth shattering, although she plays with the pedal points and does a decent job overall.

B side of my wife's Prokofiev Peter and the Wolf that she's had since she was a young girl, so plenty of noise. But I noticed that it has Lt Kije on the B side, so I put it on. I love this piece when played well, and few recordings make the full potential of the music. No wonder Prokofiev was hung by his undies for selling out writing this movie score. This recording is nothing special, technically played well, but not emotional.

This is the best Kije I own, and I have a bunch of them. I've not yet listened to the Reiner version in the RCA Living Stereo box set I bought last year.

Remember Me, Vol. 1 is exactly what its title portends it to be - the first set in a series of brand new recordings from Willie Nelson, recorded with his long-time friend and acclaimed producer James Stroud.

Nelson hand-selected many of his very favorite Billboard country and folk hits from the last 70 years for these special sessions.

Glad you posted this. I was in Infinity Records yesterday and they had a copy of the 150g Blue Note reissue of this album which I immediuately grabbed. I agree, this is a great album. I am sure the SQ of my copy is nowhere near as good as the 45 RPM pressing, but heck, it was 1/4 the price too.

Music wasn't bad, but the pressing was awful.

I guess you picked this one up for Christmas Pete. An expensive album, but something that you can listen to and treasure for both sonics and music. Definitely a must have for a vinyl fan.

(http://www.indierockfan.net/pics/EricDolphy_OutwardBound.jpg)

Analogue Productions 180g 45RPM vinyl reissue.  Eric Dolphy was an incredible jazz talent who reached a somewhat limited audience thanks to his avant garde leanings.  Outward Bound, while touching on the atonal here and there is probably Dolphy's most approachable work as leader.  This album features some traditional straight ahead jazz that is separated by tunes that are more freely improvised, but do not plumb the depths of musical chaos that Dolphy was noted for...especially in his live performances.

I consider it to be McLean's best album for Blue Note and sonically one of the best recordings that Van Gelder ever made.  I can't comment on any other format but the Analogue Productions 45RPM vinyl is a revelation.  I also have it on CD but haven't listened to it in years.

Analogue Productions 180g 45RPM vinyl reissue.  This is my favorite Coltrane album on Impulse!  It's adventurous, it's dissonant, and it's absolutely brilliant IMO.  It would be one of the last records that Coltrane made before he would lose himself in atonality.  If your interests in jazz don't venture too far from bop, traditional, or post-bop then this album probably isn't for you.

Analogue Productions 180g 45RPM vinyl reissue.  At $75 this title is more expensive than the other LPs in the 45RPM Nat King Cole reissue series, because it comes on 3 180g records.  No need to ask me if it's worth it.  I had the very good fortune of coming into a complete collection of Cole's original Capitol Records pressings through an estate sale.  I prefer this reissue to the original.

Bruno Walter's Mozart Requiem Mass in D minor (his final compositiion, even though there is much fact that stipulates it was finished by Sussmayr after Mozarts death at the bequest of his wife who didn't want to lose the commission paid by Count Franz Walsegg zu Stuppach.

And if you think I just happen to know all this info and can spell these god be damned names than you haven't read the back cover as thoroughly as I have.

Ella Fitzgerald: Clap Hands, Here Comes Charley

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41pf8CIzqRL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) Classic Records 200g LP

Superb SQ! And nothing need be said about the music nor the performance. A definite top of the pile LP.

Warning: This LP has gone out of print and most online sites have jacked the price up to the $75 - 100 range, but Acoustic Sounds and Newbury Comics are still selling it at the original price.

Get 'um while the getting is good.

"...don't be "tripped-up" by the title of this CD - "Folk Music." This CD contains a groovy blend of jazzy-stuff focused around a repertoire of familiar jazz classics, soul, R&B, and popular tunes. Believe me, there is something on this CD for every jazz listener....even those that are new to this music form."

I saw a original deep groove mono version of this album go for $4600 today on ebay (yes $4.6K), so I had to listen to it. It's good, but....... $4600????

I'll stick with my $11 Blue Note reissue and if I ever get the urge for higher fidelity I can always grab one of the 45RPM versions for $50, but 4600??? :roll:

The again, I'm sure the collectors all think we are crazy for spending the kind of money we do on things like cables or vintage NOS tubes, so I guess we're even.  :rofl:

All the ones listed as "Sony Music CD (EU Imprt)" are part of those 2 Prefect Jazz Collection sets that Chris posted about a few weeks back. Nice stuff and and both 25 CD sets came to a total of less than $80.  8)

Unfortunately, the amp is still in the shop. 2 of the parts that blew out were high precision resistors that had to be special ordered, which took a while during the holiday season.

Rowdy?  Tales from Topographic Oceans?  That record was inspired by Tantric scripture and boredom from riding a tour bus across North America (Actual fact). It is Yes's tribute to Navel Contemplation (Actual opinion). 

If you want rowdy from Yes, get the CD re-release of Relayer and play the studio run through of "The Gates of Delirium." That'll set your progger hair afire.

Tales has its rowdy moments, especially side 4, but yes it is mostly melodic symphonic prog. So maybe that's why I moved onto Moody Blues and then Joni.

That was my point. I started out with metal on the way home, progressed to Yes, then went symphonic then Joni then Gabrial. Now Kamelot and back into the prog-metal scene. It's a progression of progressive ...

Ok Gene just another old guy doing a blues album  :rofl:

From Allmusic Guide

Blues album by prog rocker and classically trained guitarist Steve Hackett? It may seem a bit of a surprise, but as Hackett himself explains, his first musical affinity was for the blues, and his first instrument of choice was the harmonica, not the guitar. So he returns to his roots on this release, unknown as they are to most of his audience. Most of the songs are original compositions, and the tunes are well written. Hackett plays a mean harmonica throughout, and shines in particular on a couple of instrumental numbers, "A Blue Part of Town" and "Footloose" (mercifully not the Kenny Loggins song). Hackett sings lead vocals on the other songs, and unfortunately his voice just doesn't lend much conviction to blues material, even though it's treated to sound much deeper and grittier. Anyone who's heard Taj Mahal's version of the title track, a blues standard, will only smile at Hackett's weaker attempt. Perhaps he should have called the album "Blues with No Feeling."  Definitely for completists only.

I had to write a reply tonight to a Christmas letter from the widow of my friend Freddie, who passed away back in 1994. Many a night our wives went out shopping and then spent the night over at his place while the two of use hung out in the mancave running marathon music sessions which inevetably ended up playing Pink Floyd at 4 or 5 in the morning. (You see this Vampire thing is not a new phenomonom for me  :D )

Given this I felt it was only appropriate to run a Pink Floyd  mini-marathon tonight in his honor

Found this one at the library this afternoon

From Amazon:
"The album that marries the vision of two men who shaped the image of modern California - Brian Wilson & Walt Disney. In this release, Brian re-imagines classics from the span of the Disney Music catalogue, from "Heigh-Ho" and "Whistle While You Work" from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to "We Belong Together" from Toy Story 3."

Fun album, very nice SQ.

Automatic Writing is the debut studio album by American experimental rock band Ataxia, released on August 10, 2004 on Record Collection. Ataxia consisted of then-Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante, Joe Lally of Fugazi, and Josh Klinghoffer, Frusciante's subsequent successor in the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Grand melodies, shifting textures, and thick rhythms radiate from Todd Sickafoose's music. On Tiny Resistors, the bassist/composer matches his 8-piece New York band with a pair of guests, Andrew Bird and Ani DiFranco, to create a jazz record with the muscle and scope of an indie-rock orchestra. Throughout its 68 minutes of music, the record evokes images: the mysterious flora of a future epoch, the revelation of a secret message scribbled in invisible ink, an exodus of buzzing bees, and the silent sadness of an underwater piano, drowned in the waters of Lake Pontchartrain.

 :yay2:

The 30th Anniversary Edition is far and away the best version of DSOTM ever released in both the analog and the digital realms. (I sure it would not surprise anyone to hear me say I like the LP better  8) ). Absolutely blows the doors of off of then new "Why Pink Floyd" series version which is all compressed to appease the ipod crowd. Although I do have to say that the SACD and vinyl versions of Wish You Were Here are quite good. I got the copy from the library of The Wall  CD that was release back in Sept as part of the box set of all the Pink Floyd albums and it displays the same type of over compressed sound as the DSOTM CD from the same series. Supposedly the LP release due out in Spt is being sourced directly from the analog master tapes and it will be more cleanly mastered and not follow the DSOTM LP. [-o<

Thanks for the info on the new remasters! I was considering getting a few of them as the reviews on Amazon seem to indicate excellent sonics, but I know that they are likely not audio folk writing most of those reviews. I guess I'll save my $$ ;)

This original Atlantic pressing has more issues than I will generally tolerate in a record.  Love the music but I need to find myself a better copy.

I am giving this record another spin on my now operational Garrard 401.  This time with a Ortofon SPU 25CI MKII mono cartridge.  What a difference!  There were quite a few loud pops and clicks on this LP when played on my Ortofon Jubilee stereo cartridge.  The record was stone quiet with no surface noise on the mono SPU cartridge.  It sounded fantastic!  :thumb:

This is another mono record, issued in 1956, that sounded just so so on a stereo MC cartridge.  On the Ortofon mono SPU it sounded like someone took the so so record away and replaced it with a brand new LP.  What a difference!

Traffic - When the Eagle Files (LP)

I believe this was the bands last record they made and released. Steve Winwood took a very different tack on his solo stuff after this with his pop releases. This album is anything but pop. Deep blues and slow tunes, but I do believe it made a big hit on the charts. Nothing here obviously radio worthy though, more epic and conceptual, which I guess was the mode back in dope smoking 1974.

This is part of set called Julie London: Eight Classic Albums. These are British releases that came about when a bunch of classic Jazz album became public domain in Great Brittan after 50 years. I have several sets from this series and most have decent, although not reference quality sound. Yes I have heard better sounding version, but these 8 album sets are selling for less than most single CDs. They are certainly good enough for the car or my ipod and they give me a chance to hear these albums and then decide which ones are worth perusing in higher quality (and of course higher priced) versions.

I have read that most of the albums in this series were mastered off of other CDs, but several albums in the Julie London set were mastered off of LPs and contain some of the surface noise on those albums. If I picked up a reasonable priced vintage LP with this much surface noise I would not be that upset, but you just don't expect to hear any on a CD. However given what you are getting for the price I still do not think it was a bad purchase.

She might, but considering she would have been 86 today even a younger sister of her's would have been just a bit too old for you.  :roll:

Trivia - you may also recall her as the actress who play the head nurse Dixie McCall on the TV Series Emergency! in the early 70s.

Excessive surface noise can spoil the listening experience on a recording such as this.  My copy has no visible surface scuffs or scratches, and for the most part it sounds good on my Ortofon Jubilee stereo cartridge.  But there were spots here and there where surface noise would cause a distraction that would take me out of the music.  I'm listening to it now on my Ortofon SPU mono and am completely amazed.  With a stereo cartridge I like to think of the surface noise as being on top of the music.  With a mono cartridge the surface noise is still there, but it is pushed deep into the background to the point where one can barely notice it, if one can notice it at all.

I picked this up at the Crack House a year ago just because ot was a Jack Johnson release and it ended up really liking it in and of itself. Nice from both a sonic and a musical basis. Although it is basically aimed at children I think it holds its own with an adult audience as well.

How is this album musically? I have always found Montovani to be too much like elevator music, but from what I can see on the coiver this seems like an attempt at playing some more serious Classical music.

This performance is with a full orchestra, and struck me as a serious, largely successful effort to do justice to the works.

I rather enjoyed it.  Musically it was very fulfilling and sonically it was outstanding.  The recording has incredible dynamics and is definitely worth having if you can snag a copy.

Have you guys ever heard any albums by Les Baxter. He composed a lot of that pseudo-Hawaiian, space, African and other exotic music you heard in those 1950-60's movies. All made up from his head, nothing is authentic as I understand it. Lots of output here and the sound (of the one compilation I've heard: The Fabulous Sounds of Les Baxter: Strings, Guitars, Voices!) is outstanding.

Original 1977 LP...

(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jYh85lXZvS4/TgInH7UwfnI/AAAAAAAAO1o/NGIxIbF5934/s1600/cover.jpg)

As I'm listening to this, I noticed that John Atkinson from Stereophile gave this a "Record to Die For" in the Feb 2012 issue. He stated the great dynamic range exceeding 20 dB at times...

I'm near the last track & I can honestly say this is not a record to die for (IMHO)... sonics are OK & I've heard a lot more dynamic rock albums! I'm a "dynamic freak" with my horns & this LP does not do it for me... Also, I like Steve Winwood & his "Arc of Diver" LP is so much more since it's "toe-tapping with PRAT", even though it may not be as dynamic...

My Thursday night rant,
Pete

Hiromi - Voice- Hiromi really just doesn't click for me. Yes she has talent and chops, but there's a missing soul element that keeps her stuff very sterile and clinical.

A Love Supreme
John Coltrane (Artist) | Format: Vinyl

AAAAARGHHHHH!

Had to put this on to regain my inner peace, that and I forgot I bought this on vinyl till I saw Jerome post Blue Trane.

<rant on>

My electronics are driving me insane, my AVR has no sound output, only a 3 year old Pio unit, can't beleive it's cooked and it needs to get working by SB.

Upgraded my home network to a new 'N' wifi router, great upgrade, but my Squeezebox receiver not being recognized.

My Sony 5 disk changer in bedroom system 'ate' a disk, I popped it open and got disk out, but now the carousel doesn't line up with the laser so nothing plays.

And I installed a wifi bridge upstairs for my son to hardwire his Xbox and gaming laptop, and that took all last night to get connected, great documentation Linksys, thanks a lot.

<rant off>

There, I'm done, feel a little better.

Did I mention my right knee has hurt since last Wednesday???

Can't put my feet up due to knee, have to keep it slightly bent at all times.

Coltrane helped me get through 3 attempts to config the Squeezebox receiver, finally took on 3rd try. Sheesh.

Americana per Ives. I love this record!
Typical Naxos-perfect recording of the best concert band in the world, United States Marine Band. Full of big brass, drums, and lots of Ives humor and gall.

Disk 1.  This Mosaic boxed set has everything Duke Ellington recorded for Brunswick, Columbia, and Master Recordings in the 1930s on 11 CDs.  It really is essential stuff if you're a fan of jazz from this period.  The only thing that would have made this more complete is Duke's work for RCA Victor from this period.  Still, this is a fantastic set and the music has never sounded better.

OK, after much agita and a whole lot of bad words my TT is finally back together (the final step of my VPI upgrade was mount the tonearm on the thicker "Super Armboard" to better  match the size of the Mk IV platter. This ended up being much more difficult and time consuming than it looked at first blush. Isn't it always?  :roll: )

Anyway, now that it is back together (although the alignment still needs a little tweaking) it is time to spin some high quality vinyl.  8)

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61cCLT0Ii9L._SL500_AA300_.jpg) Sony Music 2 CD set (EU Import)

This is usually where I get off the Miles train. I know this is supposed to be a landmark album, but sorry guys, I just don't get it. I just can't get into the atonal an poly-rhythmic styles of  avant-garde jazz (but then again I never have been big on 20th Century classic for some of the same reasons. I really enjoy mast of Miles' earlier work, but this is just a bit too off the beaten path for my tastes.

But to each his own.  8)

Miles Davis: We Want Miles

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41BDJrw6yvL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) Sony Music 2 CD Set (EU Import)

OK, here is my first complaint about one of these Sony "perfect" collections. This 2 CD set comes in a cardboard mini-LP sleeve that opens like a book. The problem is that the openings to get the CDs out are on the inside, both facing the spine. This wouldn't bee so bad except for the fact that the sleeves are a bit tight so in order to get the CD out you need to turn the slot facing down and give it a little shake. Well three times in a row I did this and the disc slipped down exactly into the slot on the other side with the other CD. This happened 3 times before I was able to get disc one out of the sleeve. Boy I felt like a dope. It would have been much easier if the slots just faced to the outside of the sleeve like the single disc albums do. A minor headache, but annoying none the less.

As for the music it is pop-funk-jazz fusion type live album, but nowhere near as abstract as On the Corner was.

Any good Florida LPs this week?   aa

I posted them Tues night I think.

Nothing great, filled in some missing old favs like 4 way street.

I did finally start going through the classical, hid a bunch in back of rack for my return next week.

Tom -

I have 3 of the 8-opening Ikea racks, I think you saw them. I bought the 1st, Bill said "you shoulda gotten 2".

I bought a second and Bill said "you shoulda gotten 2".

So I bought the 3rd. I can see eventually I'll need still another.

In a year I'll need a 4th, but the walnut veneer is no longer made, so I'll be saying "I shoulda gotten a 4th when I had the chance".

I ran into the same problem with CD racks from Best Buy. I initially bought four. About a year later my son came up with an idea on how to squeeze in a fifth (with a little modification to work around a lolly column that was in the way.) I went to Best Buy picked up the exact same unit with the same SKU and when I put it together I found that the manufacturer changed the design and the unit did not match the ones I already ad in place that it would be butting up against. Now granted, the difference is small and I don't think anyone would ever notice it, especially when it is fully loaded ( which of course took no time at all  :roll: ), but it still makes me crazy because I know it's there.

Now my problem going forward is not going to be building additional racks, but rather the fact that I will need to put an addition onto my house to have a place to put any more racks.  #-o

And of course thinning the herd by getting rid of some infrequently listened to LPs and CDs is simply out of the question, it is just not in my DNA.  :rofl:  ](*,)  :rofl:

The Pachelbel Canon, Albinoni Adagio and Other Baroque Melodies

Over the last 2 years I've acquired 8 copies of this, really like it.

Why 8, cuz they're all nicked in one way or another. But they all cost .50 cents to $1, so no big deal having more than 1 copy.

Had a copy in my hand in FL, looked pristine, and appeared to have LAST treatment as well, for $3.49. So I put it back.

Now listening to all 8 copies to see if I have one I can live with, or do I have to buy the FL copy.  :roll:

EDIT: Got a clean 1. For those wanting to try Baroque, this is a fine album/cd, and Amazon has a bunch in stock. And if you've been to more than 3 weddings in last 10 years, you've heard The Pachelbel Canon.

Title: Re: What are you listening to right now?
Post by: richidoo on February 03, 2012, 08:27:34 AM
Pachebel Canon = theme song for New Age waifs. Can't stand it!

But it is pretty advanced for Baroque, so it was probably a big shift in popular music of the time. Of course there was no popular music of the time, but it sure is popular now!

Yes I did it. just wanted to go out in style and fill up the "Recent post " sections. It is time to move on. Unfortunately this forum just does not do it for me anymore. I think its name should be changed to Music Nervosa. I used to enjoy coming here and reading and discussing audio related topics but in the past few months it has been over run with music. no disrespect to anyone you have the right to post what you want and I have the right to read what I want.

Thanks to Carl and Rich for having me here and I hope you appreciated my wanting to keep audio alive here but it has just gone in a different direction for me , one that does not hold an importance to most.

I guess the same is for the NY Audio Rave. I will go the same route as Levi and others. It was great to meet the many friends I have met but it seems to have lost it's fizz. Maybe 1 day it will be what it used to be and I will return , but onward ho. You have my numbers and email address if you want to stay in touch.

Take care guys and I hope one day to return once I can get from this place what I used to.

Thanks

The whole reason I have Audio Nervosa is because I want to get closer to the music.  I've always felt the equipment was a necessary evil; without it there is no music.  Yet without music, there is no need for the equipment.

 I wish I could get the sound quality I have without all of the boxes and cables.

The whole reason I have Audio Nervosa is because I want to get closer to the music.  I've always felt the equipment was a necessary evil; without it there is no music.  Yet without music, there is no need for the equipment.

 I wish I could get the sound quality I have without all of the boxes and cables.

To me Audio Nervosa, the condition, has little to do with music. I often find myself more lost in or into the music on the lo-fi system in my car than I ever do on my home system. Getting close to the music is more about state of mind than presentation...

To me, Audio Nervosa is the inability to get lost in the music due to obsessive anxiety about the sound quality.

I have the same experience Barry, my Honda van has a very well tuned stereo that I enjoy immensely, even mp3s played through cassette adapter! SQ problems are easily ignored, and it can really step it up when needed. But I can hear the resolution is missing and lots of 2nd order distortion from the cheap paper speakers. But it does music goooooooood!

How about we just deal with the music in this thread. Esoteric threads about the hardware used to reproduce the music have their own place(s) already.

Yes I did it. just wanted to go out in style and fill up the "Recent post " sections. It is time to move on. Unfortunately this forum just does not do it for me anymore. I think its name should be changed to Music Nervosa. I used to enjoy coming here and reading and discussing audio related topics but in the past few months it has been over run with music. no disrespect to anyone you have the right to post what you want and I have the right to read what I want.

Thanks to Carl and Rich for having me here and I hope you appreciated my wanting to keep audio alive here but it has just gone in a different direction for me , one that does not hold an importance to most.

I guess the same is for the NY Audio Rave. I will go the same route as Levi and others. It was great to meet the many friends I have met but it seems to have lost it's fizz. Maybe 1 day it will be what it used to be and I will return , but onward ho. You have my numbers and email address if you want to stay in touch.

Take care guys and I hope one day to return once I can get from this place what I used to.

Thanks

Evan, I certainly respect your wanting to read about gear,but I just don't understand A) what music posts have to do with or detract from that and B) what your bailing on this forum is going to accomplish.

This is an open forum and any of it's members can post about whatever they want at any time. Having more posts regarding music does nothing to stop posts on other topics. If the posts on gear are dwindling it is because people are initiating equipment posts, not because other people are talking about music. I totally agree that you have the right to read what you want, but why not just ignore the posts in the music sections. If you the new posts section under quick links  all of the posts in this thread will be covered under a single line item not matter how many of them are made, making them very easy to ignore. If your favorite radio station changes formats and moves towords a type of music you don't care for you don't rip the radio out of your car, you simply ignore that station and listen to a different one. Why wouldn't that concept apply here? Seems to me that the only person you are hurting by bailing out is yourself. But if that's what you feel you have to do then good luck, we'll miss you.

As for the Rave group, just give it some time and it will most likely come around again. About three years ago the AudioSyndrome group was falling apart we had to beg for people to hold meetings and most of those were starting to be very poorly attended. yet in the last year or so thing have totally turned around and the group is going full steam ahead again. I have been involve with the Syndrome for about 25 years now and have seen this cycle happen several times. hings get bleak and then all of a sudden everyone gets interested again. Sit tight, I'm sure it will come back.

I have a request guys.  I really don't need to see 5 images of the same album cover in consecutive posts.  It slows the browser down the first time you load the page and wastes bandwidth, and makes me less inclined to bother with reading the replies.

Please quote the text and not the image.  If there is no text then reference the album in your post so people know what you are commenting about.  This is what I do and it doesn't take that much time.

Posting the image in  every reply also increases the storage requirements for the thread which will eventually lead to increased costs to run the site.

When replying to a particular comment within a post I also hit the quote button and then edit out not only the image but also all of the text except the piece I am commenting on to focus the reader on exactly want I am discussing without reading the entire original post. Only takes a few seconds and I think it makes things easier for everybody.

I replaced all 4 ultra fast diodes in the high power section. That's what blew before, but only one was replaced last time. This time I decided to replace all 4 myself and it is now working. Hopefully it will stay that way now, because if not then there is something more sinister going on somewhere that is causing the diodes to blow (what that might be I can't imagine so it can't be possible :-).

The Wiki doesn't mention anything about Twilight Zone. It must have just been a similar painting. I wish I could remember the episode (memory is the second thing to go.)

Paul McCartney: Kisses on the Bottom

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51BFuStwMIL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)Hear Music CD

The latest from Sir Paul. Due to be released tomorrow, 2/7 (it pays to have friends in low places.  ;) )

From Amazon:
"Kisses On The Bottom is a collection of standards Paul grew up listening to in his childhood as well as the two new McCartney compositions "My Valentine" and "Only Our Hearts." With the help of Grammy Award-winning producer Tommy LiPuma and Diana Krall and her band--as well as guest appearances from Eric Clapton and Stevie Wonder, McCartney's new album is a deeply personal journey through classic American compositions that, in some cases, a young Paul first heard his father perform on piano at home.........
........ Determined to approach the record in a new and unique manner, Paul enlisted the help of LiPuma and Krall and her band-who delivered ultra-high quality musicianship and were completely in tune with Paul's restraint and feel for the music. In the studio, the recording of this album was also a new challenge for Paul who, for the first time ever, performed exclusively in the vocal booth without an instrument - no guitar, no bass, no piano - which led to a vocal performance like no other in his career. "

Very un-Beatles, but well done none the less.

Samples here:

I love Doin' Alright, but my favorite Dex is "Dexter Calling."

I couldn't figure out how to call Dexter, so I checked with ALIS and she has a copy that will ship out to me tomorrow morning. I should be checking this out by the weekend.

Thanks for the heads up Allen!  :thumb:

I just heard this CD on Pandora. It is an excellent trio and I am usually not a big Ron Carter fan, but I would buy this for the pianist alone. Keith Jarrett influenced, but in a good way.  8)

Amazon review:
"Five ENJOYABLE Stars!! Composer, arranger, educator, perennial jazz poll- and Grammy-winner Ron Carter, unquestionably one of the greatest bassists in jazz history, has conjured up a great tribute to Miles Davis, who brought him front and center in the jazz world. Historically, Mr Carter arrived in the quintet after the "Kind of Blue" era, playing from 1963 to 1968 teaming up with Herbie Hancock and Tony Williams to form one of jazz' most stellar rhythm sections, playing many of these very songs. This CD is a wonderful set of Miles associated-songs which are fresh while often maintaining much of the atmosphere of the originals. Mr Carter is joined by the stupendously inventive Stephen Scott on piano, superlative drummer Payton Crossley and master percussionist Roger Squitero. Wonderfully recorded, you can often hear the reverberations of Mr Carter's strings suspending the notes in the air longer than we normally hear.

The 'Pieces De Resistance', the best of the best, begin with a song I listened to six consecutive times before moving on: the 5-minute "Stella by Starlight" which begins with a bridge fragment and is a robust, wonderfully-constructed, touching extended bass solo by the 'bassist-extraordinare' with some tasteful piano, percussion and great brush support. And look for Ron's amazing 'mystery note' near the end, in a performance that mirrors the Miles Davis tempo and atmosphere but stands on its own; ditto for the tempo shifting "My Funny Valentine". "Gone" has some superlative drumming, stout Carter 'walking', great Scott pianism, and great overall interplay. "Seven Steps To Heaven" starts out in a familiar vein but launches on its own trajectory from there with Scott absolutely on fire and with some muscular bongo playing by 'conguero' Squitero. The waltz "Some Day My Prince Will Come" starts out where we would expect and Scott turns it funky and bluesy in a great performance that almost sounds 'Brubeck-ian' near the end. There are two Ron Carter compositions: the blazing fast "Cut and Paste" with Crossley showing his 'accent' and solo mastery and Carter giving a bass-walking seminar, and the bluesy, almost "So What"-ish "595" which is a showcase for Ron's writing and arranging plus Squitero's background percussive virtuosity. Don't let the song times dissuade you, each satisfying song gets a thorough examination and exposition. Now 70, a fleet-fingered, highly-inventive Ron Carter is as potent a bassist and as vital a composer and group leader as ever, inspiring those around him as evidenced by this disc. My Highest Recommendation. Five WONDERFUL Stars!! "

Tafelmusik - Popular Masterworks of the Baroque

(http://www.popsike.com/pix/20100423/270568477867.jpg) Reference Recordings 45 RPM LP

Further proof that there is nothing new under the sun. While much has been discussed in recent years about the merits (and drawbacks) of the 45 RPM LPs introduced by Classic Records, Analogue Productions and several other audiophile record labels, everyone seems to forget that this is not a "new" idea. Keith Johnson and Reference Recordings were selling 45 RPM records 30 years ago. IMO the Tafelmusik LP set a standard for SQ from an LP that has been met by few records since then. (and they did it on standard weight vinyl for a price that was no more expensive and any of the other audiophile releases of the day. Makes you wonder......  :-k )

Found this lp in FL, VG++ cover, but the vinyl itself was too banged up to buy, especially at what the guy was asking for it.

Pity.

Norah Jones: ...Featuring

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51QRgbHjRZL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) Blue Note CD

From Amazon:
Besides selling 40 million albums and winning 9 Grammys in less than 10 years, over the years Norah Jones has collaborated with dozens and dozens of artists from across the spectrum of music. This album collects Norah's favorite collaborations from 2001-2010 into one amazing collection: legends like Ray Charles, Willie Nelson and Herbie Hancock, rock artists ranging from Foo Fighters to Ryan Adams to Belle and Sebastian, hip hop luminaries OutKast, Q-Tip and Talib Kweli. No matter the genre however, Norah's enchanting voice is the common denominator and while the partners are varied, she ends up owning every song and this album is a wonderful collection that holds together brilliantly.

Samples:

I wasn;t too thrilled with this album at all. It was more of a Jakszyk album with the others as sidemen. Very tame and not at all the second (3rd?) coming of King Crimson as I was led to believe from reviews.

In fact, I far prefer "The Bruised Romantic Glee Club"

Only 8 songs.  But wow, I get sucked in every time.

Not sure how much I like the music on this album, but the recording quality is outrageous.  I'm getting image far to the right and left, as well as high above my crappy, off-brand, nearly ten-year-old computer speakers.  If it sounds this good from a Youtube download, how good will a quality source sound on a real system tweaked to the listening room?  Holy crap.

Wonderful album.  One of my (and my kids') records.  Every song has a melodic hook and stands completely on its own while being woven into a loose and bizarre concept album.  A latter day progressive rock band, but in a different way than most of the imitators of the 70's giants.  This is progressive, but in a new vein...similar to, but denser than Sufjan Stevens; just as weird, but more accessible than Andrew Bird.  It is because of the Freelance Whales that my kids have finally opened up to listening to (and devouring) my old prog records.

Vanguard Jazz Orchestra: Live at the Village Vanguard

Sourced from NPR: http://www.npr.org/assets/img/2012/02/14/vjo-12_0034.jpg?t=1329244662 (http://www.npr.org/assets/img/2012/02/14/vjo-12_0034.jpg?t=1329244662)

(http://www.audionervosa.com/MGalleryItem.php?id=1200)

The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra has been playing at the Village Vanguard every Monday night since 1966.  They began as the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra, with Thad on coronet and composing most of the tunes, and Mel, rock steady, carrying the beat so the band can swing.  Mel always left the solos to the players, it was his way.

When Mel passed away in 1990, the Orchestra continued on without him.  Their sound changed a bit, they now seem to take less risks, but they are still as tight as ever.  If you enjoy swinging hot big band, check out this recording on NPR.

Andy Gravish Quintet - NY Rome Connection (CD)- Long story here. One of the sterophile writers said he was frineds with this guy who recorded a CD privately in a small NY studio and is self-promoting and selling it. He said the sound was phenominal.
- So I contacted this musician, Andy Gravish, and bout a dozen CD's from him for members of our local audio club. The music here is great, and the sound too. He works primarily in Italy these days and I believe has published a second CD in the last few years. Here's his website:

That's cool Bob!! I went to college with Andy, we played together in trumpet sections on a few Berklee big bands.  Glad to see he is still playing and recording. He was a senior when I was just starting, he gave me a lot of encouragement and mentoring. A super great guy!

Yeah, a really nice guy. He told me all about Italy and how he is a headliner there because he's a jazz guy from NY. He did put out a second album in 2007 I believe but I haven;t heard it. If it's anything like the first one then it is really good.

(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EeDA_bkAL0s/TH0MmiRalWI/AAAAAAAAA2M/uiAGHHIulsA/s320/rb_gd_wave_that_flag_summer_04_tour.jpg) CD

One of a batch of 14 CDs I picked up at the Crack house covering 5 live shows. Great SQ (I assume this is a direct sound board feed, not a fan taped bootleg.)In addition to Grateful Dead originals the set contains a number of nice covers of major artists like The Beatles, Eric Clapton and Bob Dylan.

This one will take me a while to get through, interspersed with my other listening.  8)  Not being a complete Deadhead I don't think I could handle 13 Dead CDs back to back.  :roll: (I'll only post it once so as not to clog up the board)

Direct to Disc 45 rpm White Vinyl

How was the vinyl on this LP? Some of those Crystal Clear white vinyl releases tended to be noisy. They were such nice recordings and then the blew it by pressing them on gimicky white vinyl. I never understood why they did that. (I guess somebody let the marketing people in the room.  :roll: ) The black vinyl they used was much better quality. But in the used market (and especially in the $3 price range) you take what you can get.

I'm going through 2 boxes of LP's a friend dropped off last year. Now that I have a record cleaner I can clean and play them safely. I will post here only what I like, so don't worry that I will flood this thread with crap.

We all know Gaite Parisienne, and this version is OK (can;t listen to too much of this myself). The real gem on this record is Chopin's Les Sylphides on side 2.

Okay rap music is a type of music that possesses primarily rhythm. The same way we can have melody and harmony without a rhythm, we can have rhythm without melody.

This is why rap is supported with harmonic music in the background while the performer does a chant in the foreground. The purpose of rap is to maintain the flow of the rhythm. Flow is expressed in rhyme, rhyme schemes, rhythm and cadence. Delivery also depends and refers to elements of the delivery: pitch, timbre, volume.

It's not unlike the chant in music of Bunraku Japanese puppetry where the Tayuu delivers a rousing chant and is meant to keep the characters alive and maintain the flow of the storyline and chant rhythmically in a very deliberate manner. The "stories" in good rap music represent the average black person's struggle (with racism, poverty, targeted murdering, and urban lifestyle), or a rapper's surprise and joy at sudden success where they achieved their desires (money, love interests, or other material goods).

Of course there's often other kinds of stories but this is a general idea/principle.

Warren Kime ~ Brass Impact

(http://www.dustygroove.com/images/products/k/kime_warren_brassimpa_101b.jpg)

Warren Kime, an orchestra leader, trumpeter, flügelhornist, and arranger from Chicago, brought a tape to Command and subsequently made a startling debut on a major record label. He made three unique, exciting Brass Impact records: Brass Impact, Explosive Brass Impact, and Goin' Someplace!. Each had three major horn groups (trumpet, flügelhorn, and trombone). Each also had, in addition to brass and woodwinds, modern rhythm and even the "wordless choruses" associated with Esquivel and Bob Thompson. These were supplied by three women, one of whom was Donna Kime, Warren's wife.

Kime's "Brass Choir" was one of the earliest, most assured, and definitive of the late-'60s exponents of the "mod" sound typified by Bob Crewe's treatment of Music to Watch Girls By. Take Herb Alpert, strip out most of the Latin elements, substitute the perky madness of Esquivel's chorus, and you have Brass Impact. It does have impact. At times, particularly in some treatments of then-popular sambas, Kime achieves the bombast of Quincy Jones' and Roland Kirk's classic "Soul Bossa Nova," but without the soul. Fortunately, Kime seems to have caught Command between its fascinations with stereo and quadrophonic channel separation; here the focus simply is on developing the "now sound" with easy listening for parents of the Woodstock generation. ABC/Command issued a two-fer in 1973 titled Dynamic Brass Impact.

BobM  I like (much to my surprise) and have all 3 Brass Impact records. I like you found one of them in a box of LPs given to me by a 90 year old man. We have become good friends and I visit him whenever I have the time. It took me several years to locate the other two lps.........Bill

Welcome, to 2Two.  Glad to have you here at AN.

Please tell us about the albums. We are interested in what you have to say about the music you enjoy.  :)

Hmmm... It's rare that folks post much about the album. Most don't even post a link to Amazon or All Music so that you can read a bit about it, or even type out the artist and title to make searching for it easy... Just my observation...

My observation also. Am I being singled out due to my taste in music ?

Now this is one damn dynamic album. Holy cow!!!

Persuasive Percussion - vol 2

- a bit scratched and not in pristene condition, but still worth listening to. A bit bright but holy cow, if all records had this kind of sound ...
- I've also got vol 3, but it has no sleeve and looks really bad. We'll see.

Actually I think he is, but in a good way. One of the great things about this thread is the opportunity it gives us to share insights into different musical types, learn from each other and expand our musical experiences into areas that we may not have explored on our own. I think if you talk to any of the "regulars" here we will all have war stories about some type of music, artist or series that we never thought about before but have now become passionate about after reading a recommendation on this thread. Rap is not something that is very common in audiophile circles, but 2Two you posted some really well written musical insights into it at a level of detail we rarely see here. Well done! And as Bill Cosby used to tell people during the Fat Albert Show (Damn there I go dating myself again.  :roll:) If they are not careful, they might just learn something.  :D

The second one is also available on Blu-Ray if you are so equipped.

Just be careful of the dealer who currently has the lowest price listed, Zoverstocks. I have ordered several CDs from him before and never had a problem (His shipping is slow because he is located in the UK, but he had a bunch of stuff that was very hard to find elsewhere at a reasonable price.) I wouldn't hesitate to buy any CDs from him, but being a UK dealer I be nervous that the DVD he was selling might encoded for Region 2 and would not work in a US DVD player.

Saw Blue Man a few years ago down in Orlando. Awesome show. Don't miss it if you get the chance to see it live.

*********
Just picked this up from the library. Smooth Jazz, but with some actual jazz in it. Nice if you like a laid back jazz sound with some players who can actually play. This guy's toured with everyone for the past 30 years, so he has some chops and plenty of experience, he just chooses to play in a laid back and melodic way.

George Benson: Forever Gold

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51mEVpQScjL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) CD

Nice collection of tunes from the time when Benson was playing "Jazz Jazz" as opposed to the "Pop Jazz" he started playing with the Breezin' album. I had a neighbor who was a die hard jazz fan and felt he should burn in hell for "selling out" and making the switch.  :roll:

Kind of two dimensional with decent lateral staging, but no depth at all. Other than that a decent sounding collection of nice music. (It sounded great in the car, where soundstaging is not an issue.)

If any of you are members of the Amazon Prime or Gold programs where you get free shipping this be had at a price of 75 cents for a new copy or 16 cents for a used one.  :shock:

Acoustic Jazz Guitar and vocal duo Good performances with the type of SQ we have come to expect fro Windham Hill

Customer review from Amazon:
"INCREDIBLE ALBUM !!! Tuck is probably one of the best (the best ???) jazz guitarist in the business !!!
the version of "time after time" is 100 000 times better than the original one (it's even hard to compare).
The tributes to JIMI HENDRIX "castles made of sand/little wing" is one of the best song I've ever heard.
And "Europa" played by Tuck will make you put your Santana CD in the garbage !!!
GET IT NOW !!! "

Jethro Tull: Aqualung - 40th Anniversary Special Edition

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ncC%2Bq-Q-L._SL500_AA300_.jpg) Chrysalis 2 CD Set

Well this is the first "Special Edition" That I wold consider trely special. The SQ of the new stereo mix done for this release is truely outstanding. I have three other qualung CDs (original US release. the 25th Anniversary edition and a UK pressing) and this just blows away all of them. I just had time to give it a quick listen against the Classic Records LP and it hangs right in there with the vinyl. I'm not sure which would be bettterr after further critical listening, but is is really close. I would love to hear the 180g vinyl pressing of this new stereo mix, but as of now it is only available as part of the new box set (LP, 2 CDs, DVD, Blu-Ray, Book - $150.) I have heard rumors that it will eventually be released as a stand alone LP, but haven't seen anything yet. Hopefully soon (but then again teh same rumor mill swore that the 180g Vinyl versions of the Beatle remasters would be on the street in the Spring of 2010 and we're still waiting for those too.  :( )

Mastered by Steve Wilson of Porcupine Tree fame. He also did the remastering of the recent King Crimson remixes. He is the acclaimed and current king of remasters, especially 5.1.

And for those who don't know, he mixed and mastered the forthcoming Thick As a Brick II (yes, a follow-up to the original album, all new music) currently on presale at Amazon.

Some smokin' hot Columbia 6 Eye Mono pressings...

(http://www.indierockfan.net/pics/Ormandy_Prokofiev5.jpg)


(http://www.indierockfan.net/pics/BrahmsViolin_Stern.jpg)


(http://www.indierockfan.net/pics/Mahler_Symphony2_Walter.jpg)

The Mahler with Bruno Walter conducting the New York Philharmonic is one of my favorite recordings of this work.  The only one that I have that might top it is Otto Klemperer conducting the Philharmonia Orchestra and Chorus with Elisabeth Schwarzkopf.  But getting back to the Bruno Walter recording...this is a set of two Columbia 6 Eye mono LPs and it is getting a little scarce.  Moreover, there are wide dynamics in this recording and a lot of soft passages, so you will need to find a pressing in pretty good shape; otherwise surface noise could step all over your enjoyment.  I have a near perfect copy but I have to tell you that I bought several not so good ones before I got lucky with this one.

If you happen to find any of these in really nice shape then snap them up.

--Jerome

EDIT: I see that I posted the stereo cover art for the Prokofiev 5th, I have both the mono and stereo pressings.  Didn't feel like scanning the mono cover art.

Soul Vaccination - Tower of Power Live

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/619pqmrBNUL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) Legacy CD

From Rick Mattingly, JAZZIZ Magazine
Recorded live in 1998 as Tower of Power celebrated its 30th anniversary, Soul Vaccination displays the band's strengths as well as its weaknesses. The strengths are many, starting with one of the finest horn sections in the business. After all their years together, the three saxes and two trumpets have achieved a blend that gives them the power of a much larger section, and yet they have a tightness that even a smaller horn section would be lucky to achieve. And with the recent return of original drummer David Garibaldi and with the continued presence of bassist Francis Rocco Prestia, the band benefits from one of the great funk/soul rhythm teams of all time. But much of the album lacks a sense of purpose. Rather than using the funky licks and syncopated grooves to bring out the meaning of the song itself - which is the true power behind the type of soul music to which Tower of Power aspires - songs such as "Soul With a Capital S," "Soul Vaccination," "You Got to Funkifize," "What Is Hip?," and "So I Got to Groove" are funk for the sake of funk. And as heartfelt as "Diggin' on James Brown" may be, it's the surface attitude without the inner essence of the Godfather of Soul. Much more successful are tracks such as "Down to the Night Club," where the music combines with the lyrics to create a sense of place, and the ballads "Willin' to Learn" and "You're Still a Young Man," in which the musicians serve the song's emotion.

Columbia 6 eye - but it's a red label 6 eye and not a grey label. Sounds damn nice (CL850)

Sheherazade - Philadelphia - Eugene Ormandy LP

(http://www5a.biglobe.ne.jp/~philorch/Images/ScheherazadeCM2CL.gif)

In general I am finding the grey labels to be awesome performances, but dynamically compressed with a flattened top end and generally uninvolving, so not terribly enjoyable. The red label Columbia 6 eyes have plenty of dynamic range and top end extension. I will focus on these going forward and put the grey labels into the "to be shared" bin.

Erik Truffaz - Saloua (CD)

This is electronica meets progresso electric rock meets screaming guitar meets jazz meets modern reggae meets middle eastern chant/rap meets ambient meets world music meets god only knows how to classify this shit. All I can say is that is changes track to track. If you want to break out of your wholesome little musical rift then I can guarantee there is something on this disk you will like and something you will hate. This guy is prolific andhas quite a few recordings out. I don't have anything else of his so I can't speak for his catalogue.

Izz - The Darkened Room (CD)

- A marvelous album by some local NY prog rockers with a slight metal edge. Gread vocals (male and female) and plenty of chops. They have a few earlier albums out too, but this one stands out for me.

200g 45RPM Quality Records Pressing issued by Analogue Productions.  This is one of my favorite jazz recordings.  Sterling Sound did a fabulous job on the mastering and I don't think it has ever sounded better (though the Universal Japan 200g pressing is pretty close).  My only criticism is that I was very disappointed to see Analogue Productions revert back to the cheap, wafer thin jackets that they used on their Blue Note and Fantasy 45 series.  I thought Chad had gotten past that with the nice heavy gatefolds that were used on the Impulse 45 reissue series, but I guess old habits die hard.  While I would agree that the music and LPs are the most important part of the package, I think audiophiles deserve high quality gatefold jackets given the price of $50 per title.  If Music Matters can do it so can Chad.

Louis Smith: Smithville

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41fSpVb46kL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) Blue Note CD

This is the album tht Jerome sent around on the 45 RPM tour. I heard some of it at Triode Pete's and really liked it so when I saw a  CD of it pop up on Amazon for under $5 I jumped on it. [And after listening to it I think a vinyl copy just may be in my future. ;-) ]

From Amazon:

"It's amazing to me how many people who dig jazz don't know who Louis Smith is, because in my opinion, he should be been headlining opposite of Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard, and Donald Byrd. He has such an amazing technique. "Smithville," which thanks to Blue Note, finally sees the light of day. Smith is joined by Charlie Rouse (tenor sax) Sonny Clark (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), and Art Taylor (drums). This album swings so hard it'll make your head spin, but there are some nice ballads that slow things down too. Very enjoyable set. Highly recommended."

Lou Donaldson: Light Foot

(http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/f7/66/9a9cc060ada062dea0caf110.L._AA300_.jpg) Real Gone Jazz CD

From Amazon:
Lou's never been a light foot at any point in his career -- and even on this earlier, pre-funk session he blows with a heck of a lot of soul! The album's a killer from Lou's mid period stint at Blue Note -- a set that's informed by bop ideals, but which also explores ideas in a more relaxed, early soul jazz mode -- one that uses extra percussion from Ray Baretto to kick up the grooves with a nice little swing, and which also features some sublime piano lines from the great Herman Foster, making one of his few key Donaldson appearances here! Lou's alto work is sparkling throughout -- crackling with life, but never too full of itself -- and other players include Peck Morrison on bass and Jimmy Wormworth on drums. Titles include a few originals like "Hog Maw" and "Light Foot", plus standards like "Stella By Starlight" and "Green Eyes".

I'm not a Jazz Head, and not used to seeing them so young, but now that you've told me it's Ella and Satch, I do recognize them, but still wouldn't be familiar with the album or its title, so wouldn't be able to look into it.

Just a few words on the way I post in this thread.  I don't know if anyone has noticed but I put original cover scans of just about every single album I post in this thread.  I do that to make it easier to identify the specific release.  For vintage vinyl in particular the stereo and mono covers are a little bit different.  Also, the cover art on a subsequent re-issue can be a little different from the original release.  So I put the jacket on my scanner and upload a JPEG to my website and link AN to it.  It is a lot of work.

As far as info I post about an album goes, I don't usually post the artist, album title, or link to samples and I don't plan to start.  If it is something obscure and not readily identifiable then I will.  If someone is truly interested in something I posted then they can ask me question like Barry did and I will provide an answer.  As for samples, reviews, etc.: you can do your own homework if the information I provided doesn't satisfy your curiosity.  I don't see myself changing the way I post.

It's sort of like me asking people not to quote images when replying to a post.  Most agree that it's a reasonable request but they still do it anyway.  ;)

My Music Collector database is pretty out of date.  Very little of my vinyl is in there; it's mostly CDs.  With the quantity of music I buy it all just became too much work and I found myself spending more time entering data then I did listening to music.  I haven't added anything to it in at least a year.

Barry,
I usually go to Amazon first and those images have not been a problem. But especially with some of the vintage albums, Amazon does not always have images posted with each listing. It is when i use googlwe to searech for images outside of Amazon that I have been running into problems. Thanks for the heads up on AllMusic. I will have to try when out and maybe use them as my first back-up source of images. I have started to post further info fromAmazon, but they do not have reviewer comments or samples connected to every listing. Once again, perhaps AllMusic can fill in some gaps in thsi regard.

Also, keep in mind that a lot of the listening I do is experimental in nature, exploring an artist or musical style that I may not have listened to before. In many cases I do not know enough about the music or the artist to come up with any kinds of valueable analysis nor dos the music enspir me to have anything in particlur to say about is on a first listen so I just say nothing.Nort because I don't like it  but just because I just can't thnk of anything to say that would be considered "value added."

There has always been a piano at the heart of Irma Thomas's music, and she is accompanied here by twelve of the best pianists around.
 
Guest pianists include Henry Butler, Dr John, Jon Cleary,Norah Jones, Ellis Marsalis,John Medeski,Marcia Ball and Randy Newman. You will note a heavy New Orleans influence here and it is fantastic as is the production of Scott Billington.

The Grammy®-winning Soul Queen of New Orleans has never sounded better than in this all-acoustic setting. From the soul-searing passion of "Cold Rain" to the bittersweet intimacy of "This Bitter Earth," Irma's enduring warmth and soulfulness prevail, never straying far from the blues. Included are many new songs (including one from Burt Bacharach and Steve Krikorian) and a previously unrecorded Doc Pomus-Dr. John composition.

Right "up your alley" Robin....smooth with a groove... 8)

Born and raised in Philadelphia, he however went on to university in Miami where he was discovered by Bob James. Although an excellent jazz man, he has crossed over into the mainstream and has toured with the Rolling Stones and Aretha Franklin amongst others. Andy Snitzer plays the saxophone in a plaintive, emotional tone that literally pulls at the strings of the listener’s heart. He has the pathos of the late, great Michael Brecker, the gutsiness of Ernie Watts, and the uncanny human voice-quality of Wayne Shorter. Among a large group of new tenor saxophone players his voice stands out, and we all look for more great music from him.

The Stranglers IV

(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-thfnkMkqs3w/TYUYv0b2OzI/AAAAAAAAEuc/MzgaraKuTyA/s1600/The-Stranglers-The-Stranglers-IV-433022.jpg)      LP

The Stranglers are an English punk/rock music group.

Scoring some 23 UK top 40 singles and 17 UK top 40 albums to date in a career spanning five decades, the Stranglers are the longest-surviving and most "continuously successful" band to have originated in the UK punk scene of the mid to late 1970s. Beginning life as the Guildford Stranglers on 11 September 1974 in Guildford, Surrey, they originally built a following within the mid-'70s pub rock scene. While their aggressive, no-compromise attitude identified them as one of the instigators of the UK punk rock scene that followed, their idiosyncratic approach rarely followed any single musical genre and the group went on to explore a variety of musical styles, from New Wave, art rock and gothic rock through to the sophisticated pop of some of their 1980s output.

They had major mainstream success with their single "Golden Brown". Their other hits include "No More Heroes", "Peaches", "Always the Sun" and "Skin Deep".

The Stranglers' early sound was driven by Jean-Jacques Burnel's melodic bass, but also gave prominence to Dave Greenfield's keyboards at a time when the instrument was seen as unfashionable. Their early music was also characterised by the growling vocals and sometimes misanthropic lyrics of both Jean-Jacques Burnel and Hugh Cornwell. Over time, their output gradually grew more refined and sophisticated. Summing up their contribution to popular music, critic Dave Thompson later wrote: "From bad-mannered yobs to purveyors of supreme pop delicacies, the group was responsible for music that may have been ugly and might have been crude – but it was never, ever boring."

I gave this album a listen and it's mighty laid back smooth jazz, something you don't want to listen to if you're a bit tired. While I do love Snitzer's sax play, the accompaniment has very basic stuff that didn't seem to change much from 1 song to the next. Very mundane album containing nonchallenging work imho. But still, I liked it and will sample Snitzer's other albums, none of which I currently have. Thanks for the suggestion Chris.  8)

Cheers,
Robin

Relaxin' with the Miles Davis Quintet
Miles Davis Quintet | Format: flac

A mix between ballads, light swingers, and up-tempo bebop numbers, just the way the group bops on saxophonist Sonny Rollins' staple "Oleo" is worth the price of admission. Miles work on this number with the Harmon mute in place, trading solos with Coltrane, riding on top of Chambers' fast walking bass complimenting Philly Joe Jones' incomperable drumming, forced me to listen to this 3 times on the plane ride home last night.

And now starting the day off with it.

Hugh Masekela - Hope

Triloka/SheridanSquare/Analogue Productions APJ 82020 2 180g 45rpm 2LPs - 180 gram vinyl

Reissue Mastered by: Kevin Gray at AcousTech

Thanks to Jerome he's got me hooked on 45 RPM pressings! This recording has incredible dynamics & sonics... Horns sound like you are right there... maybe because they're voiced through horns!

Recorded LIVE at Blues Alley in D.C.... has the signature song... Stimela (The Coal Train)...

This is a serious audiophile recording at 45 RPM... probably best recorded LIVE album I've heard... the CD version is missing something sonically compared to the 45 RPM... however the CD version is still killer...

I picked this up out of curiosity because I had never seen a concerto written for tuba before. I actually end up liking the piece although it has a strange ending. he piece doesn't seen to come to a conclusion, it just stops almost like they ran out of tape while it is being played.

The Pastoral Symphony was enjoyable as well have an almost Arron Copeland flavor to it.

SQ was not outstanding but was good enough so as not to distract from the music.

Leonard Cohen: Old Ideas

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61knAd9cNLL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) Columbia CD

The best I can say to summarized this album is that it is very Leonard Cohenish. Cohen has a unique musical style that people either like or they don't. If you liked his earlier works you will most likely enjoy this one as well. If you didn't care for his previous albums I don't think there is anything in this one that will change your mind.

Renaissance ~ Illusion

The original Renaissance lineup fell apart during the recording of this, their second album. Jim McCarty was the first to leave; he departed in 1970, when the band was about to start a European tour, because he hated to fly. Keith Relf and Louis Cennamo left next, subsequently forming the new group Armageddon. McCarty continued to be associated with Renaissance as a songwriter, however, receiving writing credits on the new band's first, second and third albums.

John Hawken kept the band going by recruiting new members, including Michael Dunford and Terry Crowe, former bandmates of his from The Nashville Teens. New bassist Neil Korner had previously been part of The New Vaudeville Band (though he did not appear on their big hit, "Winchester Cathedral".) This new lineup, which recorded "Mr. Pine", was one of several short-lived transitional lineups that existed between the original one and the classic Annie Haslam band.

Armageddon was the last band to feature ex-Yardbird Keith Relf. The former lead singer and harmonica player of the band that launched Clapton, Beck and Page, Relf had abandoned his blues-guitar band roots when he founded Renaissance in the late 1960s. Relf left Renaissance after two albums (actually half way through the second album) due to frustrations with the music business and being tired of touring. However, when he created Armageddon, he became involved with one of the best guitar rock albums of the 70's.

Anathema - Hindsight (CD)

- This is a sort of early "best of" for this prog-metal group, with a twist. It is mostly acoustic reqorkings of their best stuff. Interesting and worth checking out. Not death metal at all, so it's safe to go into these waters.

I also really like their 2010 release "We're Here Because We're Here" and there is a new album forthcoming  in April "Weather Systems".

Robert Randolph and the Family Band-Unclassified CD

$1 thrift shop acquisition

A rollicking record, full of youthful energy and enthusiasm.  Randolph plays a mean pedal steel guitar and fronts a band that combines blues, (Robert Cray meets Robert Johnson), rock (Rick Derringer meets Lynyrd Skynyrd), Gospel and Funk (Kirk Franklin meets George Clinton) probably with some bluegrass and country thrown in for good measure. Loud, fast and lots of fun!

This is a great album. I love Arthur Honegger, this is one of my fav Honegger records. This is on the BIS label, always excellent music and SQ.

Hi Gene,

Cheapest: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000W9ER7Q/

Honneger is 20th century british composer. He's not atonal, but mostly dark and intense. As a hard core bopper you might dig it for the harmony.

A lot of listening today, but not a lot of opportunities to get to the computer and post, so it is time to catch up.

The Jazz Messengers at the Cafe Bohemia - Volume 1

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51CJcIkAq0L._SL500_AA300_.jpg) Blue Note LP

From Amazon:
"In 1955, Art Blakey after the success of his all star pick up group at Birdland the previous year with the legendary trumpeter Clifford Brown, the Charlie Parker influenced, blusier edged alto saxophonist Lou Donaldson, Horace Silver on piano and bassist Curly Russell, the drummer decided to form a more permanent band "The Jazz Messengers". The first true working band edition featured a number of then bright young stars such as Kenny Dorham on trumpet, a very overlooked but excellent hardbop player, Hank Mobley on tenor sax, Silver again on piano and Doug Watkins on bass who was one of the finest bassists on the NY scene at the time by way of detroit, and cousin of Paul Chambers. Blakey and the Jazz Messengers were caught live on November 23, 1955 at the Cafe Bohemia in a night of music that resulted in a pair of Blue Note albums and a third volume of unreleased material only released in Japan."

Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers: Keystone 3

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51-taswrYEL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) Concord LP

From Amazon:
"The Marsalis brothers on alto sax and trumpet, Donald Brown on piano and of course Art on the drums. This album lives up to the pedigre of the players. The melodic improvisation here is both accessible and sublime. If you love Art Blakey this is a must, if you don't (yet) even more so. The music speaks for itself. "In Walks Bud" gets it off to a rousing start, "In a Sentimental Mood" provides a luxurious ballad, "Fuller Love" and "Waterfalls" float us way on waves of chromatic harmony and dazzling solos, and "A La Mode" is the ice cream on top a most satisfying musical experience. Sit back and enjoy!"

Lou Donaldson: Mr. Shing-a-Ling

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51h9oSFAy7L._SL500_AA300_.jpg) Blue Note LP

From Allmusic:
"Lou Donaldson does attempt to loosen up a bit with Mr. Shing-A-Ling, but the whole affair is a bit stilted. Not quite the full-fledged electric funk workout that was becoming commonplace for old-guard soul-jazz musicians in the late '60s, but not quite the bop-inflected soul-jazz of the early '60s either, Mr. Shing-A-Ling falls into a netherworld that won't quite connect either with jazz purists or fans of grooving jazz-funk. That said, when the quintet settles into a mid-tempo vamp, Donaldson, trumpeter Blue Mitchell and organist Lonnie Smith do spin out some good solos that are worth hearing."

Frank Sinatra: Point of No Return

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/412MW29437L._SL500_AA300_.jpg) Capitol LP (British EMI Pressing)

From Amazon:
"Though already in business in 1961 with his own record label, Frank Sinatra was contractually obligated to give Capitol one more record before moving on to Reprise. Sinatra gave them the ironically titled Point of No Return, which is hardly the deal-fulfilling throwaway one might expect. Expertly arranged and conducted by longtime Sinatra ally Alex Stordahl, it's an elegant collection of farewell songs (including "I'll See You Again," "As Time Goes By," "There Will Never Be Another You," and "It's a Blue World"), delivered by Sinatra with a profound sense of sadness and loss. Fans of such downbeat Sinatra concept albums as In the Wee Small Hours and Sings for Only the Lonely would do well to pick up on this oft-overlooked gem."

Stevie Ray Vaughan: Live Alive

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61kQmLKP2sL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) Epic 2 LP Set

From Amazon:
"Pay attention- this album is for srv's fans. Not the best of his live work. This album was greatly redone in the studio so first of all- it's not really that live of an album. Don't get me wrong- there really isn't anything bad on the album Change it may even be a better version. Leaving you and superstition are the only songs not on his other albums that are worth it [ Srv himself remarked after sobering up that he thought willie the wimp was in badtaste and didn't want it on radio]. If you're a big fan go ahead and get it... after you get all the other stuff. If you are a casual fan of Stevie's blues and blues rock and occasional jazz- any of his other albums live or otherwise would be better. It's a good album but at the bottom of stevie's work taking under consideration the availibility of the songs and so on. So buy it if you have his other stuff and can't stand not having these 3 songs."

Tom -

If you want another Blakey/Messengers title, look at what I posted 3/3, The Big Beat. I love it.

Just refiled all the albums I played/bought in last few months, was surprised at how much Sinatra I have. Yet I still need to find what you listed, and Come Fly With Me.

Finally refiling the 100+ albums littering my listening area, found this that Bill bought for me along with a few other Cat Stevens titles. Just gave it a quick cleaning and threw it on. Nice SQ. Checked the dead wax and not surprised to see the legend 'STERLING' stamped there. Also some initials I'll have to look up, once I get a magifying glass out to read them that is.  :duh

Elton John: The Red Piano

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51xCV-e3YqL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) Red Line Entertainment (3) 180G LP Set

A live album taken from Elton's Red Piano Show at Ceasar's Palace in Las Vegas. In spite of the 180g pressing, not what I would consider an audiophile pressing. The vinyl itself is not so great and the SQ is OK, but nothing to write home about. But the performance does capture the essence of a recent Elton John performance and if you are a fan that overcomes any other shortcomings the LPs may have. And the price is right. It can be had on Amazon for under $14 (for a new, sealed 180g, 3 LP set.) Of course the lowest price will vary with time, but there were also several other new copies selling right around the $15 range, which is still good for a 3 LP set.

Billy May, "the bandleader," actually staff arranger for Capital records at this time, played the tuba when he was young, so he included it in his arrangements. Kenton also used tuba in his band of this era. It fills in the balls under the brash of bass trombone.

Don't laugh, I was in a record store about 10 years ago and there were these 2 high school girls looking at a display of Beatles CDs. One turned to the other and asked "Have you ever heard of these guys?" and her friend responded "I'm not sure, but wasn't that the band Paul McCartney played with before Wings?"  :duh  :duh  :duh

I LOVE the records Sinatra recorded with Billy May.  Sinatra was at his peak and May was a brilliant arranger who kept the music interesting while allowing Sinatra to shine as the star.

Hey, at my age you have to stretch, you don't want me to pull a hammie now, do you? Great SQ on it, but after the title tune, I found the playing somewhat 'Blue Notian', just kinda blends in with a lot of other things. I'll take Miles or Lee on trumpet, or a young Freddie Hubbard or Blue Mitchell. Still, if I found this in the 'New Arrivals' section at the crackhouse in VG++ to NM shape, I'd buy it.

An early Analogue Productions 180g 45RPM vinyl reissue of a classic Miles Davis session on Prestige that is marred by numerous pressing defects.  This one was pressed at RTI, and as most of you already know I think RTI's overall quality is among the poorest in the industry.  I hope Chad fares better with his Quality Records Pressings plant.

The Blue Note Re-issue Series (Freddie Hubbard)
Freddie Hubbard (Composer) | Format: Vinyl

From the 'net;
"A collection of some of Freddie Hubbard's great early to mid 60s output for Blue Note, compiled and released in 1975 during a time when a number of his LPs were no longer available (not unlike these days . . .). While Freddie would cut great sides throughout his career, some of his fieriest playing was during this time, and he's joined by a batch of greats who are definitely there to deliver the message too, including James Spaulding, Hank Mobley, Wayne Shorter, McCoy Tyner, Philly Joe Jones and ELvin Jones, amongst others (these tunes were pulled from the Crisis, Breaking Point and Hub Cap sessions). 13 tracks on 2 lp's.

KJ Denhert - Lucky 7 (CD)
- This woman has several releases to her credit, but this is the only one I own so I can;t sepak to the others. This is one group that sounds like a live band having the time of their lives, only it is captured on CD in a studio. Nothing amazingly memorable, but just a lot of good original music and a fun album. I think they play around the NY area at summer fests and such. Hard to classify this, maybe blues - folk . Gtta find more of her stuff.

Now this is different, Frank Sinatra singing to a Bossa Nova beat, kinda nice. Definately different, Frank's more low-key here, letting the music come to him rather than forcing it into the Sinatra 'formula'.

Quote
John David "Moon" Martin (born October 31, 1950, Oklahoma) is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist.

CareerMartin gained recognition in the 1970s as a pop artist and composer. Originally a rockabilly artist, he wrote the songs "Bad Case of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor)", made famous by the English singer Robert Palmer, and "Cadillac Walk", made famous by the American singer Willy DeVille.

Martin scored two minor hits of his own with "Rolene" (#30 Billboard Hot 100) and "No Chance" (#50), both in 1979. His 1982 song, "X-Ray Vision" was an MTV hit music video.

He was given the nickname "Moon" because many of his songs had the word "moon" in the lyrics.

DTES - Lost and Gone Forever (CD)
- Yup, more current prog. released last year. DTES = Dream The Electric Sleep
- I definitely recommend this one if you like intelligent prog that has good vocals and is not all heavy metal.

Full Circle - Secret Stories (CD)
- This band is very hard to describe. They are world music, for sure, eclectic but easily accessible. Somewhat electric and somewhat acoustic jazz and always interesting. Released in 1991 but still timeless and surprisingly good every time I listen to it. Same goes for their other albums which I have on vinyl.

Pablo stereo LP.  Pablo records, founded by Norman Granz, featured many jazz legends in the twilight of their careers.  While it's true that by the 1970s artists such as Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie, and others were past their creative peak, they still had a lot of great music left in them.  Most of these 70s Pablo pressings are very much worth pursuing.

Decca mono pressing.  Al Hibbler was a featured vocalist with the Duke Ellington Orchestra for 8 years in the 1940s and then moved on to a solo career.  He crossed over from jazz to become a singer of popular standards in much the same way that Frank Sinatra embarked on his solo career after a time in the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra.  Hibbler has a great voice but enjoyed nowhere near the success that Sinatra did with Capitol Records in the 1950s.  Still, Al Hibbler was an excellent vocalist and I would recommend him to anyone who likes Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett.  The only thing holding this album back are the arrangements, which are a little syrupy for my tastes.  Not quite up to the standards that Nelson Riddle set with Sinatra, but then again who else is?

ECM stereo LP.  This album was something of a disappointment for me.  I love Ralph Towner but on this LP his playing is little more than support for Gary Burton on the vibes.  Burton's playing is fine as far as it goes, but it isn't my cup of tea.  If you are looking for recordings where Towner's guitar playing is front and center...this ain't it.

Here's a brand new album and cover with an old and recognizeable picture for you 70's proggers.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61RlajeWalL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

- In a nutshell, I think it is commendable that Ian Anderson decided after all these years to make a follow-up to Thick as a Brick. Don't worry, his voice is fine on this recording and shows none of the wear and tear of his recent live shows. Unfortunately none of the other original Tull members are on the album (including Martin Barre). The energy level and grit of the original is also missing; this sounds like an overly controlled studio album more in line with "Heavy Horses" and "Stormwatch" than Thick or Passion Play. It's not ground breaking (but then, what 65 year old artist ever is) but it is interesting as a follow-up, describing what Gerald Bostock's life was like after he wrote the poem and won the contest. I guess Ian felt a little nostalgic himself, looking back.

Somber but swinging Bud in later years. Healthy, technique good, not stoned this is one of Bud's finest outings. Mature playing, deep concept and execution. I say somber because there are no 400bpm Tea for Two or Night in Tunisia type show off songs that made him famous. Mostly Monk tunes, with some standards that Bud and Monk played a lot.

This is a upper bass lover's dream. The complex and dense left hand harmonies of Bud Powell played with a great acoustic bassist high in the mix. This recording is why I prefer sealed woofers. When there's more than one note in the bass.

In Europe he made several recordings, but on most he is not up like this one. This one is exceptional in that he plays great, band plays great, and the recording is by far the best sound quality of any Bud Powell recording. His Paris band, Klook-mop, Michelot.  The album was originally titled Tribute to Thelonius. They loved and idolized each other.  Another fav with this band is Live at Blue Note Cafe 1961. Not as strong playing as this, but more fireworks, tempo, and almost as good sound as this.

RPWL - Beyond Man and Time (CD)
- a new 2012 release by this fantastic German melodic neo-prog art-rock band. This is not the hard guitar crunching pyrotechnic stuff. This is melodic rock with a twist. Great voices and great catchy melodies that stay in your head. This new "concept album" release is just as good as their older stuff, if a bit more mainstream, and will definitely grow on you and become ear-worms in your head. I guess the closest comparison to a well known group might be melodic Pink Floyd, but that doesn;t do this music full justice either. Highly recommended.

Thanks, Bob.  I listened to their "South Side..." on YouTube; they are impressive.  The phrasing of "...of warmth when we die..." near the end gave me chills.  Frankly, by their own description on the site, I wouldn't have given this band a second look.  I'm glad you showed it to me.

Then, I have to start in on Dexter Gordon's early 60's releases on BN.

Can't find samples, but side 1 of this contains 2 tunes that are on the S.T. cd I brought to a few raves that people seemed to like.

Grace For Drowning

Steven Wilson is a twice Grammy-nominated producer, writer and performer, best known as founder and front man of British prog-rock band Porcupine Tree. I love their work, but vinyl is limited and expensive.

I saw this 2x lp set yesterday, cringed at the $35 sticker, but bought it anyway.

Wilson has been remastering old King Crimson tracks, and there's some of it on this, his 2nd solo work.

If you like the Porcupine Tree / Steve Wilson stuff you have to grab the vinyl right when it is initially released. They sell out quickly and prices double. I got the Grace For Drowning double LP for $25 on release (should have bought two and sold one).

Glad I got this on vinyl though - it sounds superb.

Considered one of Coltrane's finer works, yet accessible to the neophyte jazz fan. With Mile's rhythm section, and Curtis Fuller on trombone and Lee Morgan on trumpet.

It was Morgan's work on the ballad "I'm Old-Fashioned That Way" that led me to start collecting his work.

Steve Wilson | Format: Vinyl

Steven Wilson is a twice Grammy-nominated producer, writer and performer, best known as founder and front man of British prog-rock band Porcupine Tree. I love their work, but vinyl is limited and expensive.

I saw this 2x lp set yesterday, cringed at the $35 sticker, but bought it anyway.

Wilson has been remastering old King Crimson tracks, and there's some of it on this, his 2nd solo work.

Anathema - Weather Systems (CD)
- A very beautiful new album from a band that has a reputation of being doom metal. Their last few albums show a dramatic turn in their path, leaning more on melody and atmospheric sounds rather than crunching guitars. Much softer than their early work. Good emotional prog rock.

On way home from an educational conference I stopped off in Lancaster and spent way too much money, in the mix were 2 KC albums. I love the work of Steve Wilson of Porcupine Tree, and found out he is a KC fan, to the extant he is re-mastering the old KC tapes with Robert Fripp. So I grabbed this and 1 other.

Like the music, but finding the vocals a little to 'English' sounding to the ear.

John Wetton sang lead on "Starless."  Lyrics were written by Robert Fripp and former Supertramp guitarist Richard Palmer-James.  You don't get much more "English" than those guys.

Indeed it is.  The one and the same.

"Court" is much more accessible than "Starless."  You'll probably like the other early Crimson: In the Wake of Poseidon, Lizard, and Islands. My fave from the "Starless" period is "Red."

Larks Tongue...

Well you are certainly not taking the easy road to Crimson fandom.  Brilliant, but difficult.

Incidentally, King Crimson albums are not one-listen-and-you're-sold records.  They require the listener to work to appreciate the nuances and subtlety (or lack thereof in Lark's Tongue's case).

Example:  I LOVE "Discipline," but it took me a couple years before I fully apprecited it.

Larks Tongue and Lizard are definitely the older and more spacy side of KC. If you want to go a little harder then I would suggest the following, in the following order:

- Red
- Starless and Bible Black
- The Power to Believe

If you like the spacy side, then the next follow-ups should be:

- In the Court of the Crimson King
- Islands

Thanks Bob, read further back and it was my purchas of In the Court............  and Starless...... that led AZ to make suggestions about others.

I loved Court, jury out on Starless.

Both of you guys put a star on Lizard, have to check if Bill brought me that one next.

EDIT: GEEZUSHKRIST! Just listened to Lizard, such a noob at KC. Let's see what else Santa Pumpkin brought.

Another reason to check connections from time to time. I have diy bi-wires, recently de-soldered connections from 1 to pull on techflex.

Just setup monitors on deck for 1st time, pulled wires out the window, made connections, and realized I had re-soldered the connections reversed. No, the 2 + and 2 - were still + and -, but reversed on the re-soldered wire. So black and red wires went to low jacks on 1 speaker, and for past few months to high jacks on other. The blue and white wires also reversed like this.

I guess the whole San Fran groupies were in attendance. Still, it sounds like there were too many drugs going on, because on first listen the songs seem aimless and without hooks, like a mass sit in with guitars. I'll have to give another listen.

If you like the old, spacier Porcupine Tree, you may want to check out Storm Corrosion, which is Steve Wilson's new project with Michael Akerfeldt from Opeth. It is definitely on the softer and spacier and ambient side of prog, without the metal power chords. The reviews have been mixed, probably because people expected something more powerful and less ambient from this duo.

blue mitchell - summer soft
vinyl with 'KENDUN' in the deadwax.

Great SQ, but the music so/so. A disco/funk/jazz offering from '70s that's light on the jazz.

Glenn Frey: After Hours

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41fdK3m%2BkhL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) Hip-O CD

Glenn Frey takes on the American Songbook.

From Amazon:
Six-time Grammy Award winner and founding member of The Eagles, Glenn Frey will release After Hours, a collection of classic love songs from the 40's to the present, on May 8th from Universal Music Enterprises. After Hours, his sixth solo album and first since 1995 is a total departure taking him in a whole new direction. The two-and-a half year project was developed out of Frey's passion for the songs and sound of such artists as Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole, and Dinah Washington. The exquisite collection of songs include 40's classics such as "Sentimental Reasons" and "My Buddy," and favorites from some of his contemporaries, such as Brian Wilson's "Caroline No" and Randy Newman's "Same Girl" as well as the added spice of the American standard, "Route 66." Frey collaborated with co-producers Richard F.W. Davis and Michael Thompson, both members of The Eagles touring band, to make the 14-track record possible.

Don Ellis Orchestra - Electric Bath (CD)

- Rather provocative cover art, which is reason enough to get this one, and suprising since it was recorded in 1967. This is big band jazz with a progressive flair, because there is nothing in it in 4/4 tempo.  Lots of dynamic flair and strange beats that still sit comfortably in the ear. This is "progressive" music before the rock world picked up on it.

Gene Harris and Ray Brown.....  :drool: 

So good and so funky, it makes me wish I was born black.
These guys are in my top ten "all time" best artists.

This is one of those albums I'd take on that proverbial island people talk about.

It Bites - Maps of the Past (CD)

- Just gave this new release a first listen. It has that typical sound of the band, slightly proggy, slightly poppy, very ear catching overall. But it is not quite up to the par set by their other recent(ly) release "The Tall Ships" which is quite the ear bug.

Bird Flight WKCR Radio NYC via internet.

This morning they are playing a live recording of Bird with Strings, some of the best Bird I've heard.

Live at Rockland palace
teddy blum violinist coordinator
other strings unknown
Mundell Lowe guitar
Teddy Kotick
Walter Bishop Jr
Max Roach
Recorded 9/26/1950

One of the few times I've heard Bird completely healthy, well rested, eager to play, optimistic, and the notes just flowing out effortlessly toward the end of his career at the peak of his powers. Aggressively creative, the kind of playing you hear short glimpses of in earlier work, but always leave me longing for more. On this they happen a few times per track, and you can tell that he is trying to push it, and has the horsepower to pull it off this time.

In particular are his turnarounds, the two bars leading into a new verse. Bird was the ultimate master of turnarounds. This is where the harmonic innovations of bop happened. Eventually they wrote custom tunes that were made entirely of turnarounds (Confirmation) that enabled twisting and altering of conventional pop song harmonies into what became hard core bebop and made legends out of Bird, Monk, Dizzy and Bud.

In this, Bird frequently plays one bar of 64ths in one key and plays the same exact phrase or even more complex in the alternate dominant chord on the next bar. No matter how fast or complex, he shifts it down a half step and gracefully lands on the root of the new verse every time. This is really hard. Even if you practice it ahead of time, there are few musicians in history that could play this as gracefully, musically and convincingly genuine as Bird. As a bop fan this is a revelation.  In some other live recordings he shifts up a half tone, but that is more tonal relativism than inspired from above ("Jazz" is 90% relativism nowadays, Bird did it first.) Some of the turnarounds on these recordings are the best ever recorded in bebop.

It is all Bird with Strings, with the usual tunes and arrangements of that band, but it's the solos that are gems here.

In giving the credits Phil Schaap mentioned that these recordings were previously known as "unknown masters."

Quote
At a period of time when John Klemmer had a pop hit with "Touch" and was becoming well-known for his electrified renditions of simple melodies, this double LP must have shocked some of his unsuspecting fans. The tenor-saxophonist is heard on five jazz standards with bassist Bob Magnusson and drummer Carl Burnett, and on four often-stunning tenor-drums duets with Burnett; four of the performances are over ten minutes long. Quite possibly John Klemmer's finest hour (or really two hours) on record. Five of the nine performances have been reissued on CD by Bluebird but, if you can, get the double LP (and the entire program) instead.

Steve Tibbets - Exploded View (CD)
- There's really nothing quite like music by Steve Tibbets - any of his releases. Expanded electric and acoustic guitar with loops and processing and effects, all accompanied with some pretty cool percussion. Not su much songs as individual experiments, but they do have structure.

The only thing I've heard remotely like these albums is David Torn's Cloud About Mercury

Jimmy Rushing joins the Buck Clayton Orchestra on this 1956 recording date for Columbia.  The album features tunes that are drawn from jazz styles that developed in the following cities: New Orleans, Kansas City, Chicago, and New York.  It's an excellent album pressed on a 6-Eye mono deep groove LP.

Flying Colors - s/t
- This is a 2012 release by a prog super group. Steve Morse on guitar, Mike Portnoy on drums, Neal Morse on keys and vocals, just to name 3. After one listen I can;t say I heard anything that truly stands out and rises above the rest, but it appears to be a solid outing all the same. As woith most prog, it usually takes a few listens to really "get it". Right now it seems a bit formulaic. So not bad - but not great is the best I can say (and like most super group albums will probably wind up being a bit disappointing in the end given the expectation from these players).

I remember these guys and have some of their stuff on cassette. But that has to be one of the most embarassing album covers of all time for the bandmembers.

The guy standing in the back should have been nekkid, with that plant leaf coving his privates. THEN it would be up for the most embarassing cover of all time.  :lol:

Good Old War - Come Back As Rain (CD)
- an acoustic, indie folk group, but not typically country - no twang. Acoustic guitars, drums and bass primarily, with an occasional ukelale or accordion. My best impression would be America meets CSNY vocal harmonies. Just nice music. I haven;t listened to this on the main rig yet, but I bet the sound quality is excellent.

Zac Brown Band - You Get What Your Give

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51igkKLduoL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)  Atlantic CD


From Amazon:

'You Get What You Give' features a genre-defying collection of songs that the band has been testing on the road over the past year.

Praised for the ability to blend 'down-home country with bits of reggae, bluegrass and rock to create a high-quality musical stew' (USA Today), front man Zac Brown notes that the new album 'is representative of where we are right now. It combines elements of our southern rock and country roots, but also stays true to our jam-band style musicianship from the live show.'

I recently picked up the complete Art Tatum Solo and Group Masterpieces boxed sets that were issued by Pablo Records in the 1970s.

I have to be honest here.  Art Tatum is not one of my favorite jazz pianists.  His skill as a technical virtuoso is without peer.  However, as a stylist and expressionist I feel there were many pianists who had more to say musically: Bill Evans, Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk, Wynton Kelly, Oscar Peterson, Tommy Flanagan, McCoy Tyner, and Ahmad Jamal just to name a few.  But Tatum is a perennial favorite and appears at or near the top of many "greatest" lists.  What makes the Group Masterpieces set worthwhile to me is the musicians who join Tatum for these sessions.  At the moment I am listening to the last LP in the set, which features the tenor sax playing of Ben Webster.

Peter Nero - Peter Goes Pop

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51RLemGVnTL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)  Applause LP

I saw this at the Crack House and had to pick it up. I worked the on the sound crew for a Peter Nero Concert at Eisenhower Park in the summer of '88. One of the things I remember is he had Steinway deliver, set up and tune a concert grand for him. Once the tech finished tuning it he put 2 100w drop lights inside the piano and closed the lid. It was one of my duties for the night to open the lid right before the concert started and remove the two lights. The tech told me that because it was in an outdoor venue he put the lights inside so that the heat generated by them would keep the wood inside of the piano from absorbing any humidity and swelling which may have cause the piano to go out of tune.
One of the little details you never think of when you sit down at an outdoor concert.

As for the LP is is OK but not great. Adequate SQ and the music is typical Peter Nero/Pops type music. If you like that stuff you will enjoy this, if not you will think you are in an elevator.   :roll:

BeatleJazz - Best of Best

(http://mymall.netbuilder.com.my/pic/interglobalmusic/item/evsa024.jpg)  Evosound CD

Great performance, great SQ. This one is a winner.

From allmusic.com:

Despite the absolutely generic packaging and lack of credits on the outside of the booklet, Beatle Jazz is not some lightweight, easy rip-off collection played by barely capable studio musicians and designed for a fast buck. The players on this date are all jazz heavyweights who alternate in a couple of different bands:. They include guitarist Mike Stern, bassist Charles Fambrough, pianist Niels Lan Doky, drummer Brian Melvin (who acts as producer here as well), bassist Pierre Boussaguet, harmonica boss Toots Thielemans, keyboardist Dave Kikoski, drummer Karl Jannuska, and bassist Larry Grenadier! The selections range from early material, such as "And I Love Her," and "A Hard Day's Night" to middle and later tunes like "Fool on the Hill," "Julia," "Michelle," "Within You, Without You," and others. Everything here swings, and is used for maximum improvisational purposes within song related form. This is not for lovers of "easy" or contemporary jazz. Melodies are stated in classic hard and post-bop manners and moved away from within the basic context of the tune being played, sometimes returning, some ending up somewhere else. This set was impeccably recorded in Japan, and is one of the great early surprises of the year.

Analogue Productions QRP 200g vinyl reissue.

This album makes for a striking contrast with the Counting Crows album on 45RPM 200g vinyl.  This TYA LP has an open, spacious sound and you can clearly hear each instrument and the vocal tracks.  The sound is simply fantastic.  The Counting Crows LP has a very congested sound and a compressed soundstage.  There is sibilance in the vocals.  A very disappointing recording, but it sounds bad because that is what is on the original source recording that was used to cut the LP.

Like nothing you've ever heard.  The are reminiscent of the Cowboy Junkies, not in their sound, but in their mood.  Minimalist, not for the sake of minimalism, but because when they do it, less is more.

Pumpkin was delicious, many thanks to Mr Pumpkin. Apple pie is on deck, for a snack with the Pats.

Now onto some jazz, Mulligan Tentette 1953, the real birth of the cool, no stoners. One of the most important jazz records ever made. The cover looked like this in 1953:

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61JNJm7w1%2BL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

This is my favorite Chet Baker record. I think his best playing, although there's not a lot of it, whatthere is earned him best trumpet reader's poll over Dizzy, KD and Brownie. After 40 years of listening to this record it still gives me chills and I start choking up thinking about what this record accomplished. The power of a pretty line.

I buy all of my audiophile vinyl from Acoustic Sounds.  Since I am collecting the Music Matters 180g 45RPM reissue series I buy every single release.  It just so happens that this Stanley T. album is one of them.

But being a Stanley T. fan myself, I also own several first pressings of a number of his Blue Note and CTi releases that have not been reissued on 45RPM vinyl.

I bought this reissue in 84 for $4. I think this is the first time I have listened to it! Classic Mulligan/Baker Quartet hits from Pacific Jazz label on side A. They are remixed adding a little reverb to some tracks to differ from the original versions.  B side is Desmond leading with Mulligan, Baker, Barney Kessel riding along, some Baker solos, with Brubeck rhythm section, and a choir humming harmony on some. Kind of a weird record, but very good music.

More info: http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=3073172 (http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=3073172)

Mine is a reissue, but has original liner notes from the Desmond session, written by Paul at 30yo, in 1955. A witty guy.

I'm happy with the last load, about 20 discs of this caliber. It's been 6 months since last visit, time to check it again, and there's another one a little further away. $1/disc isn't as cheap as the crack house junk bin, but pretty good considering we are 'outna-conn-tree.'

Close enough. The normal price for LPs in the Crack House is 69 cents. And they do run  25 and 50% off sale days, but even at its cheapest I don't think price is the real issue here. Realistically, are there really many (or even any) albums that you would be interested enough in to buy for 35 cents  that you would pass up if the price was a dollar?  Record shopping at the Crack House is not really about price and getting a bargain, it more about the thrill of the hunt. When you find a great record for a dollar at one of these places the most important word in the sentence is "find", not "dollar". It is kind of like bringing home a rescue dog. There is a certain sense of accomplishment in bringing home a rare musical gem that would have otherwise been heading for the trash bin. (We are a wacky bunch , aren't we?  :D )

I heard a track from this a year ago, one cold winter night driving back home late from stereofool's house. Full moon, driving over the causeway across the big lake. The haunting Part music made it a memorable experience. Put it on my wish list when I got home and now finally enjoying it. It's weird but I like it!

This is one of my favorite CDs. I love Respighi, right up there with Beethoven and Prokofiev for me. He is so clever, humorous, wise composer, and a skilled orchestrator. Pines is his most famous masterpiece and this is one of the best performances and recordings ever made. Belkis is rarely recorded but an awesome work. Played by America's best symphony, and one of her best conductors. Grammy nominated for best engineered recording. The sometimes annoying 'bigger than life' sound of some Reference Recordings is tamed down a bit on this.

Bud Powell - Portrait of Thelonius

A great album from Bud in Europe. He plays well through difficult changes on his originals, takes long interesting solos, sounds healthy and happy. Band is tight, his typical french buds. This is THE best sound quality Bud Powell recording. I 1st heard it on the radio, I called in to ask who is this new modern player who sounds like Bud? That's how good the recording is. The record is out of print, but I found one used a few years ago. I have put this on at GTGs a couple times, even the non-jazzers sit and dig the whole thing.

Recorded in Paris for Columbia on 12/17/61, my parents were married but one month! haha  Klook and Michelot on board.

Track One is 'Miserere' by Gregorio Allegri. It has been recorded many times. It is the 'Stairway to Heaven' for church choirs. I have two versions of it, this is the better. There is another that I heard on the radio a few months ago from 1963 English choir that blows the roof off:

This is his 1954 Schubert Bflat Sonata. He did it again in 2004 (album "Two Hands") after not playing much for 40 years due to hand problems. The newer version is better, showing the wisdom he had accumulated teaching and coaching young musicians all that time.

Happy new year friends!!

Fantastic sound on this one. Typical groovin Dollar Brand. Relaxed, sophisticated but swingin jazz, not bebop. Simple at times, but nice originals. The sound is dynamite. Big piano, big space, good dynamics, crystal clear.

Porcupine Tree ~ In Absentia on MOG
Title: Re: What are you listening to right now?
Post by: BobM on January 06, 2013, 04:42:25 PM
There are "phases" to Porcupine Tree.

First comes the spacy phase (Sky Moves Sideways, Signify, basically the early years).

Then came the poppier stuff (Lightbulb Sun, Stupid Dream).

Then came the harder prog-metal stuff (In Absentia, Deadwing, Fear of a Blank Planet).

Then came the bad album  that the record companies pushed and made them popular (The Incident).

Then came Steve Wilson's solo stuff, which leans more toward the spacier stuff in the beginning and is well worth the listen (Insurgentes, Grace For Drowning)

In my mind though, it's all good.

Dinah Shore -DInah, Yes, Indeed

1959 recording with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra.  Dinah was the among the first female vocalists to headline above the big band they fronted.  She was at her peak in the early to mid-fifties.  This is her first recording with Nelson Riddle for Capitol records, home of Frank Sinatra...in fact they have a blurb from Sinatra himself in the liner notes.

Bill - never saw either of those FM titles before.

BobM - phases of PT, I like it!

I'm sure you know the song "Black Magic Woman" that Santana did on Abraxas. Did you know that it was written/performed by Peter green of Fleetwood Mac 1st.

Th Beatles: 2012 Remastered LP Box Set

(http://www.selectism.com/files/2012/09/the-beatles-vinyl-boxset-1.jpg) 16 LP Set

The entire recorded works of the Beatles remastered onto 180g vinyl.

Better SQ that the 2009 CD remasters, but not by much. If I was not so anal, and it was not The Beatles I would probably have said the CDs are good enough. Buttttt..........   :roll:

Took me a while to get through the set, but I did enjoys sitting down over  a number of nights and listening to the songs in the order that they were release. I was only a youngin' whe these albums were first released, but they still brought back memories.   8)

Had a craving for this today when I started hearing Jupiter in my head. I love this Bernstein reading. This is the old 1985 digital transfer from 73 recording, probably made from the vinyl mastertape. I have the vinyl too which doesn't sound much better. I recently heard this performance on the radio, where it sounded a hell of a lot better than I am used to. There is a new packaging now with 1997 publishing date. I wonder if it is a new master from the original tape? I love Jupiter. NYP under Bernstein was so raw, so powerful, so fearless. So fuck you to the classical establishment, classical/industrial complex. Like a great jazzer they can be out of tune and edgy, but they can really blow when the moment demands. I love NYP/Bernstein Dvorak 9th too.

Art Blakey/Sonny Stitt- In Walked Sonny

(http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&docid=_Z1JQqnSQrJevM&tbnid=jeB89ih_epei_M:&ved=&url=http%3A%2F%2Feil.com%2Fshop%2Fmoreinfo.asp%3Fcatalogid%3D494191&ei=MZAMUZnxHZCm8AS36YHoBw&bvm=bv.41867550,d.eWU&psig=AFQjCNG55al2xigjwOZ6p9tzJXVlHXuKzg&ust=1359864234580410)

Hard bop from two of its masters, recorded and released in 1975, a time when bop was at its nadir in popularity.  Disco and funk had begun to dilute jazz into a polished smooth pablum.  Not here on this record.  Blakey and Stitt bop away in fine form, soulfully and melodically, thankfully ignoring the trends of the time. 

I bought this record for a buck at a thrift store.  Knowing that jazz records with multiple stars can be hit or miss, I didn't know what to expect.  Now that I'm hearing it, I realized that you can't go wrong with these old pros.

This is the first brand new vinyl I've purchased in 30+ years. It is a 2009 release on Concord Picante, I think.

Bought from Amazon, they packed it very well, but it is cupped in the center and warped edges, so I'll return it for another copy.

Overall, the SQ is excellent, with some background noise in the grooves, after cleaning. Percussion is dynamic, good tone overall, side A horns too compressed. Side B good horns, but VLF of fender bass is boosted too much. Treble too rolled off on voices. Basically the mix is fucked up, but mostly the music is good enough to ignore it.

The studio recording session is not as musically inspired as their live concert 'Ultimate Latin Dance Party' CD. The arrangements are good. The soloing is uninspired.  Big pops right before the final groove on both sides.

Overall experience 5/10. If it was a CD I would give it 6/10 for the music. The vinyl sound is nice. Cover art is very cool!

Easily one of Morgan's best records, and one of my favorite LPs. Recorded in 1967, the session sat on ice for 11 years until released in 1978 on a double LP combined with a 1969 session that is not nearly as good.

The original session is still available now on CD

Unitopia - Covered Mirror Vol 1 (Smooth as Silk)
- this is an earthy and organic prog group that puts out some interesting music. Here is an album of covers by them, showing influential songs that affected their own works. These are the pretty songs and ballads presented in this volume. They take some great liberties on some of them, reinterpreting to some degree and transporting this whole album into a continuous canvas. Very interesting.

Tom,
Well, my original black vinyl pressing, 180 gram, is a bit noisier. The clear wax is much cleaner & sounds really nice... as far as digital-sounding, not in my system...

The clear wax has the cool factor, too...

It's funny I have heard complaints about clicks and pops from a lot of people about the original black 180g Lost Highway pressing of this album. But my copy is dead quiet. I guess I must have gotten in on the early end of the press run.

Band on the Run on vinyl.

Leaving the music aside, the sound quality of this record is just awful.

The differences between LPs and CDs are trivial compared to the differences that the engineering of the recording makes.  A well recorded album even streaming at 320kps over Spotify will sound much better than a poor recording on vinyl.

My all time fav, have to throw it on when I get home.

I was working as a broadcast engineer at WTHE radio when this album came out. I remember the day out pre-release copyy arrived. We had just shut down for the night and I was sitting in the control room with our program director and we put it on the TT. The two of us just sat there with our jaws hanging open,saying "Holy Sh%t" through the entirety of both sides.

A true classic.  :thumb:

Has anyone hear the recent 200g LP pressing? I have the MoFi from the 80s and have been wondering if the new one is a step up from it.

- ex Porcupine Tree mastermind does it again with the help of some of the best prog session musicians playing these days. It has it's synphonic moments, its soft moments, its rockin' moments, its instrument showcases. Overall a really great prog-rock album and surely a nominee for best prog album of the year. Oh, and the sound quality is awesome, as expected.

This is the CD, but there is an LP version available too.

Milestones ~ Miles Davis

flac

Sitting in a grungy office in a hospital garage basement performing a mind-numbing boring task with a hangover, (or still half drunk, can't decide), from too much celebrating the fact my son got accepted to his 1st choice of college.

More important, the financial aid package covers 90% of the cost, my biggest fear was that he'd get accepted but I wouldn't be able to pay, (I dropped out after 2 years due to funds my first crack at college, so it's a real fear for me).

So Miles is helping me get through this Hellish morning.

Congrats on your sons acceptance, and the financial aid. That's a nice % to be covered, and certainly takes a big part of the worry away.

As a side note, I'm reading a book by Christopher Moore called "Lamb". Its a story about Bif, Jesus' best friend for those missing years from his early childhood until he started preaching. Those "formative" years. Bif is telling his "gospel" and is very reminiscent of work by Vonnegut and Douglas Adams.

Anyway, there's one part where he tells of finding out that Satan spent some time on earth in this century disguised as a musician named Miles Davis. I thought that was pretty funny.

It was released on 12 February 1996 on Superior Quality Recordings via Universal Records, and knocked Oasis's (What's the Story) Morning Glory? off the number 1 spot in the UK album charts, although the Oasis album would return to number 1 the following week. The album is currently certified Platinum by the BPI

In this case it was spending about 30 minutes sorting through a lot of Jim Nabors, Ray Coniff, and Robert Goulet records to find a few classical titles of interest.  :rofl: 

Not bad though, I walked out of there with 10 very nice classical LPs (a mix of London, Columbia, Angel, and Turnabout pressings) for a whopping five bucks.

The last of the 50 cent goodies. 

This mono 1950s Angel deep groove red label pressing is a great example of the value of a mono cartridge.  This is less than a perfect record.  There are lots of little fine scratches all over the vinyl.  Surprisingly the sound quality is great and the dynamics are fantastic.  Played on a stereo cartridge this LP would not be an easy listen.  There would be too many distracting loud pops.  On a true mono cartridge however, the scratches are mostly reduced to very faint, barely audible ticks and some light background crackle.  There were only two brief spots on this LP where I felt that scratches were distracting.  But the quality of the recording and the caliber of the performance made those easy to forgive.  A fantastic record.

This one was a long overdue listen.  It's a Speaker's Corner 180g Decca reissue on two LPs that I bought almost two years ago, and never took it out of the shrink wrap.  I usually won't do that with expensive audiophile pressings because if there is a problem...well you are stuck with it.  

Thankfully both LPs play perfectly.  The sonics and performance are perhaps the best I have ever heard of this work, and IMO only the Klemperer/Philharmonia Orchestra and Chorus reading featuring Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and the Bruno Walter/Columbia Orchestra recording on Columbia Masterworks are in the same league.

One of the relatively few New York psychedelic groups to achieve national recognition, Autosalvage's day in the limelight was fairly dim and brief. The band included bassist Skip Boone, the brother of Lovin' Spoonful bassist Steve Boone, and Rick Turner, who contributed guitar to most of the tracks on Ian & Sylvia's 1966 album Play One More. Autosalvage's self-titled 1968 album revealed a fairly large palette, with touches of folk, blues, and strings. The group's cheerful harmonies owed a bit to the Lovin' Spoonful, and Frank Zappa (perhaps impressed by their sometimes-disjointed and improvisational material) was a fan, but their material was not strong enough to forge a distinctive identity. Boone and drummer Darius Davenport also appear on the obscure 1968 album by Bear, but otherwise Autosalvage's debut was also their curtain call.

Very nice Bill.  Command Classics is one of my favorite classical music labels.  They have a limited catalog but all of their recordings in the early to mid 1960s -- before they were sold to ABC -- were made on 35mm film and pressed on very high quality vinyl.

IMO Wilhelm Furtwängler was the gold standard for Beethoven and Bruckner...and there is no finer conductor of the symphonic works of those composers.  This vintage minty HMV mono pressing of Beethoven's 5th Symphony is the most musically and emotionally involving recording of this work that I own, and it is also the best sounding.

As the cover scan of the box shows it is in rough shape.  There are seam splits on the lid and the box is starting to fray apart in a few spots.  However, the three RCA Shaded Dog mono LPs inside are in excellent shape.  And the Libretto is in the box as well, in mint condition, which makes this something of a rare find.  This, IMO, is the definitive recording of Carmen.  I know there are a lot of Maria Callas fans out there (and I am one of them) but I always preferred the mezzo soprano of Rise Stevens in this role.  Fritz Reiner does his usual superb job with the music and the orchestra.

Command Classics Gold Label stereo LP.  Sourced from a 35mm magnetic film recording, the sound quality just doesn't get any better than this.  But a few of the performances fall a little short.  Ride of the Valkyries was especially hampered by a lack of presence in the horns.  Rather than drive this piece, as they do in the Solti and Karajan readings, they sort of bring up the rear in this one.  The strings and woodwinds dominate, and it isn't to my liking.  Though someone else might think it brilliant.

All said it's a good listen, but I think William Steinberg and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra turned in much better readings of Beethoven and especially Brahms (the Steinberg Brahms Symphony No. 3 on Command Classics is perhaps the best reading of that work I have heard, and I own about 10 different recordings of it).

After the Rain is a 1969 album by Muddy Waters, a follow-up to the previous years' Electric Mud and sharing many of the musicians from that album. Unlike Electric Mud, After the Rain contained mostly his own compositions and the songs, while still distorted, are less overtly psychedelic.

Thanks Tom. It is a great record, I used to listen to it all the time when I was a kid. I still have my old copy, but saw this for a buck so I grabbed it.

Turns out it's just slightly warped and the spindle hole fit is tight. Do I use a special reamer to enlarge the hole, or will a unibit work?  It's yours if you want it?
Title: Re: What are you listening to right now?
Post by: tmazz on May 04, 2013, 06:29:20 AM
Unlike to old days of Garrard and BSR changers the spindles in most modern TTs rotate with the platter so it is not a big deal if the center hole is a little tight. A bit annoying while moving the record on or off the TT, but not really performance affecting. I don't know of and special tool made for right-sizing a record hole. I guess a unibit would work but just be very careful because  you certainly don't want a hole that is too big.
But quite frankly as long as you can get ti on the spindle without too much extra effort I would leave it alone. In my experience the hole will usually  loosen up on its own just through the action of putting it on the spindle a few times.

Brahms Symphony No. 3.  This is from the Karajan Decca recordings CD boxed set.  I'm listening to this one on headphones and it just isn't doing it for me.  I don't have great headphones, they're Sennheiser HD-598s.  Decent to be sure, but not great.  I need to do something about that because late evening listening in my house requires headphones.  Expecting my wife to endure my blasting music on my speakers late at night is too much to ask of her.  So I am looking at some better, audiophile class headphones.

Original RCA Victor Red Seal LP, but no Khachaturian, just Prokofiev and Liszt. I can't find the original LP art online. Apparently it is a rare LP.

Kapell's playing is supreme. Prokofiev piano concertos are very difficult, rhythmic and percussive. It takes a lot of practice to develop the special technique to be able to play them.

Judging from the reviews posted on Amazon of the CD reissue, Kapell was the greatest American classical pianist of all time. Died in plane crash 31 yo in 1953. The CD's Khachaturian apparently is the recording that made him famous. Gotta get that one.

This is a goodwill $1 special, noisy but playable. The grooves seem shallow, signal strength a little lower than normal.

I won this from WGBH in 1980. "Eric in the Evening's" first season on the air. It arrived a couple weeks later and I was pretty disappointed with the content. Typical avant garde free jazz BS of the day. Art Ensemble of Chicago was the top "jazz" act in the country back then. Pathetic. No wonder George Butler marketed Marsalis as messiah.

But as I discovered yesterday this LP from ECM has awesome sound quality. Probably the best sounding vinyl I own, and the only ECM album I own. It is fun to listen to it as a sound effects record. There are a few track with real music, but mostly just crap.

Mine is really worn, I might break my no 180g rule and check that out.  Thanks Tom

I have a gold plated, 20 bit mastered, superdeeduper CD of this. I have become bored of listening to this music since I switched to the CD 10 years ago. I rarely play it anymore.

I have a gold plated, 20 bit mastered, superdeeduper CD of this. I have become bored of listening to this music since I switched to the CD 10 years ago. I rarely play it anymore. Now listening to it again on vinyl, it is interesting and meaningful to me again. The old feelings come out again with the vinyl.

If you come across one the 180 or 200g 33 1/3 rpm pressing from Classic Records is also very good but it is out of print and I would not be surprised if the collectors have driven the price for it over the $50 you will have to pay for the new 45 version.

Original Capitol Stereo LP. I've had this one for almost 30 years. Nice to hear it clean and on a good system to handle the big sound. 
Love me some Kenton, never saw this one before.

Just yesterday was listening to "Live from the Las Vegas Tropicana, '59", love the tune 'This is Always'.

...I discovered yesterday this LP from ECM has awesome sound quality. Probably the best sounding vinyl I own....

You'll find the entire ECM catalog to be remarkably well recorded.  Some of the music is excellent too. 

Pat Metheny created an entire genre of folky/proggy/Brazilio-Latino/jazz that regrettably has be reproduced by a bevy of under-talented musicians...yet Metheny's music is the real deal.  It's melodic, meandering and rhythmically complex.  I liken a lot of his stuff to early Genesis...it sounds like background music until you've given it several listens, when themes and details begin to emerge.  Eventually, the music tells a story with a beginning, middle and end.

Visit the ECM site and you'll be surprised how many artists have recorded for them.  Most of the music is overly mellow and new -agey, but their sound quality is impeccable.

Thanks Allen.  I have the solo guitar album "One Quiet Night."
It is very good. I listen it pretty frequently. You gotta be in the right mood for it though. The baritone guitar sounds delicious.

Speaking of undertalented musicians playing Metheny-esque music, I was in a college jazz fusion band back called The N-Tet back in 84, we played a lot of Metheny type music because the leader studied piano and music with Lyle Mays and loved Metheny. He was trying to get me to listen to Metheny back then. We didn't play any Metheny tunes, it was all originals of the leader Jamshied Sharifi, now a big time hollywood film composer. Notable as the first MIT student to graduate with a music degree in 82, his thesis project a hauntingly beautiful original composition programmed into MIT mainframe with mathematic formulas in raw code, no Midi. He ran the program and the computer created a waveform. I may still have a recording of it. Wild stuff!

Thanks Jerome.

I also like that Mahler set, a very good cycle, recommended to me by Tyson on AC a few years ago.

So how do you play the DSD file? What player software do you use? Your new USB DAC? Thanks

Hi Rich,

The Bertini Mahler cycle is beautifully recorded and the performances are superb throughout.  This set is a terrific example of 16bit/44.1KHz done right.

JRiver Media Center 18 supports DSD64 playback via DoP.

http://dsd-guide.com/dop-open-standard (http://dsd-guide.com/dop-open-standard)

It does not work with DSD128.  However, Teac supplies a basic player that will stream both DSD64 and DSD128 directly to the DAC.

Metheny has just released an interpretive album based on John Zorn's Book of Angels. The reviews say it taps into Metheny's lyrical playing but still channels Zorn's compositions. Most Zorn, for me, isn;t very approachable but almost all of Metheny is. This could be a nice album.

For some very approachable Zorn I have this one I've listened to this morning called "O'o". In fact, I don't think Zorn blows a note on his horn across the whole album.

DFA - 4th

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61-MYohvSiL._SX300_.jpg)

DFA is a modern progressive rock band from Italy with a hint of fusion in their sound. Their work is mostly instrumental, although there are vocals used on two tracks here with lyrics in Italian. If you're only a Rush/Dream Theater/Spocks Beard/Kansas style Prog fan, you may not care for this as much. Its all instrumental psych Prog jamming. If you dig King Crimson, Gong, Soft Machine, Pink Floyds longer jams, Hawkwind, Passport, Weather Report, Alan Holdsworth, I promise you'll love this. Definitely one of the best prog releases of 2008.

This is an awesome album. Nigel Kennedy has an ego almost as big as his playing. Pure confidence and perfect command of the ax. None of these violin waifs can exude the testosterone of this guy. Rattle directed this orchestra for many years before he moved on so they are extremely tight and they know how powerful he is and they react like a Ferrari. The recording is big and bold, not soft and and timid. Kinda like a Reference recording, but without the spacey mic effects. Recommended!

Love this record. This might be Mulligan's best solos. Long intricate, building idea on idea, total genius. Then follows Desmond, playing at his peak. If you like very intricate harmonically rich melodic bebop lines that go on forever check this out.  The baritone fills the whole room, very well recorded.

My dad got me onto Mulligan and Brubeck when I was very young, but I don't think he ever heard this one so I just bought him a copy on vinyl for his Crosley.

I got the Mulligan LP yesterday from Amazon seller. It arrived in a totally crushed Fedex box, as if it was run over by the truck. No other wrap or padding on the records inside, just tossed into an oversized weak cardboard box. Nice!  :thumb:
Fortunately the record is totally unscathed. Even the jacket is fine. After a good scrubbing it plays clean and quiet.

The highs are rolled off compared to the CD, and less resolution. Bari doesn't have the knock-you-down impact as the CD. But it's very smooth and relaxing, groovy. My Dad will love it!

1973 mono pressing of a compilation from 1940-47.

A compilation of very important recordings in the history of jazz. HUGE hits from WW2 era. The beginning of jazz for listening, not just dancing. Early roots of bebop in these early pieces, but then the later recording of actual bebop arrangements are corny compared to later Eckstine and Callaway stuff, but Krupa's enormous appeal to the youth and his emphasis on showing off the finest virtuoso soloists  opened the doors to bebop going viral in mainsteam a few years later. Got this when I was 12, still gives me chills!

I was listening to various artists from the EditionsMego label. Lots of different kinds of music. Some interesting but some can be considered noise.

Here was an odd one that I may use as a break-in track going fwd.

Anne-Sophie Mutter

Rich had mentioned Ms. Mutter awhile back, so on a recent trip to Richmond for vinyl I grabbed 2 CDs of Ms. Mutter.

Quite enjoyable playing.

No Rich, it's Concerto for Violin in D major, Op. 61 and  Concerto for Piano, Violin and Cello in C major, Op. 56 "Triple Concerto".
Title: Re: What are you listening to right now?
Post by: richidoo on August 11, 2013, 03:03:11 PM
Yeah, there's only one Beethoven Violin Concerto. I'm sure she has recorded it elsewhere  but this is the famous 1979 version with Karajan. Love it!  The Triple Concerto on there is the one I always rave about, with Yoyoma and Karajan. They were just kids back then.

I hunted around for single CD versions of these pieces, since I only ever heard triple as part of a 20 disc DG Beethoven box, and the Violin conc. as part of a 2CD Best of Mutter collection. Great to find them both on one disc! Listening just to these pieces made me fall in love with her.

I like to give away music to people, I will put this on my list of goodie handouts.

I saw a Newcastle ad on TV, the polka tune caught my ear. The trumpet melody has some tasty harmonic overtones. The major 7th, 9th and the sharp 11 on top of the basic oompa loompa major chord are pretty hip melodic tensions, a la Charlie Parker, Prokofiev, Benny Golson.

The tune is "The Gonk," by Herbert Chappell, from the movie Dawn of the Dead. I've never seen it.

Allman Brothers at Nassau Coliseum 1973

- I had just graduated grammer school when Brother and Sisters came out. This is from the tour of that album, with Dickie but no Duane. Chuck Lavell on piano fills in quite a bit for the extra missing guitar, but still, it's no Fillmore East. Still, quite cool to hear a live show from my neighborhood.

This is the original issued LP, which was a studio re-recording of the previous night's historic concert, plus lots of editing and overdubbing the applause. The original live concert recording has been released recently on CD. It' supposed to be great, not heard it yet...

This LP is a great performance too, in studio. Great playing, solos, arrangements. This is the one I grew up with.  The sound is funky though, as they tried to make it stereo. The overdubbed voices and cheering is tacky when you know what it is... Ignorance is bliss!

Yossou N' Dour - Set- 1990

N'Dour's first worldwide release (after a long career in Senegal and Africa).  Brilliant musicianship including African rhythms, fabulous bright guitar work, smokin' hot horns, and even a cut featuring a somber yet beautiful cello and violin pairing.  

My favorite record by which to clean the house.  I only learned later that "Set" means "Clean" in N' Dour's native language, Serer.

Beautiful music, playing, and piano sound.
It's on 180g vinyl from the newly resurrected Okeh Records, but there is tape hiss, bleed through, and the stamping is very noisy on my copy. So it is a tape recording in 2012! The dynamic range is awesome for vinyl. The piano sound is incredible, bass is mighty. Most beautiful piano recording I've heard.

Vanessa Fernandez - Use Me

(http://www.elusivedisc.com/images/grv1050-45.jpg)

One of the best sounding pieces of source material heard at the recent NYC Audio Show.

A 2 LP 45 RPM set from Groove Note Records.

From the Elusive Disc web site:

"This album of audiophile quality covers of soul and R&B classics from the '70s and '80s was done in an "unplugged" style with acoustic instruments and arrangements used on all of the tracks. Vocals are tremendously dynamic (no compression or limiting used), with superb presence and detail for all other instruments including the drum set. Resolution is of the highest order and this is an LP that rewards for both musical performance and outstanding audio quality. "

This one is a keeper.  :thumb:

Tony Bennett - At Carnegie Hall

(http://store.acousticsounds.com/images/medium/tempAAPP_823__97703__05232014013238-7605.jpg)

2 LP reissue from Chad Kassem and the folks at Analogue Productions, pressed at his own QRP record plant. Rated 10/11 for music and 11/11 for sound by Michael Fremer.

From Chad's site:
"This is it, the live, double LP where the magical Tony Bennett created indelible memories! Tony Bennett at Carnegie Hall is the Tony Bennett album to buy for any Bennett fan or those just introduced to his music.

Arthur Fiedler/Boston Pops - Gershwin: An American In Paris / Rhapsody In Blue

(http://store.acousticsounds.com/images/large/AAPC_2367__91362__10152013102336-2471.jpg)

This is the first of the new Analogue Productions Shaded Dog reissues that I have picked up and I have to say I am very impressed. Dead quiet with beautiful black backgrounds. The music and performances are of course top shelf and need not be discussed here. If there are any shaded dogs missing from your collection I would highly recommend Chad's releases. I think they even top the Classic Records releases and there are s a few Classic releases which I already have that I am considering upgrading to ones from this series.

Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins- Rabbit Fur Coat

Jenny Lewis has a great voice and an affected style that I can't get enough of.  I find her easy to listen to and painfully honest.  She's cutting, vulnerable, angry and insane all at the same time.  Some find her to be an acquired taste, but I drink her in at every opportunity.

The vinyl had a few clicks and pops right out of the box (after I cleaned it on my VPI, of course). I will have to play it a few times to see if the stylus polishes them out a la Mo-Fi before I render a final opinion of the vinyl itself.

As for the SQ, it sounded pretty good, but I have not listened to any Zep since reconfiguring the system in the new house, so I really need to pull out the Mothership LPs and the LZ IV CD to get a better idea if it sounds better or worse than previous version.

Led Zeppelin IV - Deluxe Edition

 Atlantic 2 Disc 180g LP set

OK Gene, here are my impressions after a quick shootout. Using Stairway to Heaven I compared they CD, the 180 G LP Pressing of the Mothership set and the new LP release.

My CD copy is a late 80s Japanese pressing and has a sound that is typical of many of its time. Very quiet, but flat, dark, closed in with a decent lateral sound stage but very little height or depth. Perfect sound forever. Nuff said.

Next I put on the Mothership LP. Now this is more like it. The soundstage has height seems like it is coming from the vertical plane of the speakers instead of as a point source from the speakers themselves. Likewise although the recording does not have much depth in terms of instrument placement the reverb around the instruments sound  gives more of the impression that it is occurring in a space as opposed to coming from the same point at the instrument, thereby giving the whole stage a sense of depth. And there more detail and transient information (both attack and decay. On the acoustic guitar you can hear the body of the guitar as opposed to just the strings. And the flute also has a natural resonance to it that make you feel more like you are listening to an actual flute whereas on the CD it could have been a synthesized keyboard flute sound.

The differences between the Mothership LP and the new LZ IV reissue were much smaller. Overall the were very close although the new release seemed to have a lighter presentation to it. Neither was clearly better than the other, just different. This is the kind of thing where you would really have to listen to both a number of times to form a longer term opinion.

If you don't have any LZ vinyl at all you should take a look at the Mothership set. It is a 4 180g LP set of LZ greatest hits. Chad has them for $60, which is a good bit cheaper than buying all of the reissues individually.

http://store.acousticsounds.com/d/42332/Led_Zeppelin-Mothership-Vinyl_Box_Sets

If you are a completist, the individual albums are the way to go. But if you are only looking for a smattering of Zeppelin on vinyl check out the run list on the set. It just might do the trick for you.

Oscar Peterson Trio - With Respect to Nat

(http://c3.cduniverse.ws/resized/250x500/music/753/1177753.jpg) Verve CD

From Amazon:

"Though he made vocal recordings in the early 1950s, Oscar Peterson would seldom sing later in his career. His reluctance was caused by something that would deter few others: his voice sounded remarkably like Nat "King" Cole's. It's a talent that dovetails with Peterson's piano playing and shared roots to make this tribute, recorded in 1965 after Cole's death, especially effective. For seven of the tracks, Peterson reassembles his great trio, including bassist Ray Brown and guitarist Herb Ellis, a group originally modeled on Cole's trios of the 1940s. It's a wonderful mating of approach and material, a group that can swing both mightily and lightly, and which does so superbly on such tunes as "Gee, Baby, Ain't I Good to You," "Straighten Up and Fly Right," and the instrumental "Easy Listening Blues." The other five tracks feature an all-star big band (the pianist is Hank Jones), with arrangements by Manny Albam. Peterson pays tribute to the popular vocalist of the '50s, singing Cole's signature "Unforgettable" and the witty "Calypso Blues" with evident regard for the original, but with his own distinctive phrasing. --Stuart Broomer"

I don't even know if the name of the band is The Plastic Thirds - or - Anoxia !?! :duh

Kind of a "darker than normal" Dave Matthews Band with a little splash of Peter Gabriel for good measure.

Pink Floyd - The Endless River

(http://www.albawaba.com/sites/default/files/im/Entertainment/pinkfloyd_theendlessriver_cover_fb_1.jpg) Columbia CD

Just released this week, Pink Floyd's first studio album in 20+
years. The album is based on music recorded during The Division Bell sessions and in fact much of the music on The Endless River was sourced for those original recordings (most notably keyboard track by Richard Wright who had unfortunately passed away before this project began.) Although it is based on the Division Bell sessions I can also hear the musical stylings of Wish You Were Here and The Wall at various points in the album.

Mostly ambient instrumentals with one vocal song. In a way it kind of reminds me of vintage Tangerine Dream.

Before Bobby Troup she was also married for five years to Jack Webb, which I assume was one of the reasons she got the gig on Emergency!, which he produced.

Pink Floyd - the Endless Ricer (waiting 20 years for this one, here's my opinion)
- I guess I was hoping for some more "song" content, but this is really just a bunch a soundscapes that belong "between" the songs. There's a few that could possibly have been turned into songs with vocals, like Ansina, and Allons-Y. Too bad they didn't expand on those.
 
All in all, what do you expect from a group that isn't really a group anymore and using past "outtakes" to release something after 20 years to make money on their previous fame? Not bad, but it will only be called "good" because of their past, not because it really competes with the newer prog groups out there.

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/10/Vegemiteontoast_large.jpg/237px-Vegemiteontoast_large.jpg)

Travelling in a fried-out Kombi
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said:

"Do you come from a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover."

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscle
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich
And he said:

"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover."

Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me?
Because I come from the land of plenty."
And he said:

"Oh! Do you come from a land down under (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover."

I got this from the library to check it out as my wife is a big Tony Bennett fan. I was very surprised, while Lady Gaga is no Ella, she's really not half bad as a jazz singer.

Smart fusiony jazz, acoustic, dissonant, odd times, but smartly, not proudly or spitefully. Tuba and bass sounds huge, tuba growly. Lots of contrast, tonally, tempo, brass vs percussion and vibes. No piano. Very good drummer, doesn't struggle with the odd time signs.

A cool record, I guess it's jazz because of the instrumentation and sophisticated compositions and arrangements, odd beats... but it's definitely not straight ahead.

Cooler than snarky puppy, humbler than Todd sickafoose, production is not slick like those, it is all acoustic, live session with real improv solos.

Barry Manilow - My Dream Duets

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51E-BCcGKbL._SX425_.jpg)  Verve CD

I saw this in the library and thought , "For free it's worth a shot." Turned out to be an interesting album. It could also be titled "Barry sings with dead people." On each track the vocal was separated from a was famous performance using ADX Technology and then inserted into a newly recorded orchestration and vocal with Barry. Some tracks came out better than others, but overall it turned out to be interesting musically and not to shabby on a SQ level.

Of particular interest to us audiofools is track 8, where he did a duet of The Look of Love with Dusty Springfield. Most of us are very familiar with the original recording of this song from the Casino Royale soundtrack and it is interesting to here what they did with it.  (Dusty's vocal had a bit more reverb on it that it did in the original release. I suspect that is either an artifact of the separation process or put there to mask some imprefections of in the process.

Further info and samples can be found here:

The Decca Eloquence series was released in Australia, but can be found as an import here in the states for reasonable price. Nicely done reissues of classic performances from the Decca vaults.

I have a number of the releases the did of Amsermet/Swiss Romamnde recordings and have yet to be disappointed by any of them. Definitely a series worth checking out.

Ironically, another NYC title... This one being "Some time in New York City" - John and Yoko / Plastic Ono Band.

I love John Lennon, but I just can't take the tracks where I can hear Yoko singing!  Her screeching makes the hair stand up on my arms and my ears hurt! :x

Thanks Tom. I checked out Chad's Blue Notes from Music Matters. I'm gonna get Undercurrent and maybe Larry Young Unity if I like it after checking it out on Youtube. (the whole record is presented on youtube in a playlist for free.. Sadly? Fortunately? I don't know how I feel about that.) 

Fremer played a few minutes of Unity at the local hifi store promo party last month. Just as I was getting into the tune he cut it off to compare it to Blue Note's own shitty sounding version from United Pressing. But soon after that he played 2 complete, uninterrupted Rolling Stones live tracks from his laptop. Lumpy jazz is so unappreciated!

The Osbourne Family Album

(https://bonanzleimages.s3.amazonaws.com/afu/images/3756/7558/Osbournes.jpg)  Epic CD


A collection of songs that each have some sort of meaning to Ozzy and his family. (Some Ozzy's and some songs from other artists like Eric Clapton and John Lennon.) Of particular interest is Pat Boone doing a cover version of Ozzy's "Crazy Train". (Yes that Pat Boone. The 80 year old singer is (or at least at one time was) actually Ozzy's next door neighbor.)

What am I listening to now? Not a blessed thing.  :(

I was listening to an LP and all of a sudden I got a loud ground buzz. I jumped up and hit the mute switch. Tightened all the ground connections and resumed listening. Things sounded OK for about two minutes until the woofer let go. The buzz was short , but I guess with all the power behind the Moscode amp it was enough to fry the woofer because I detected a sharp burning smell coming out of the speaker port.

Nola is only located about 15 minutes away from me, so hopefully they will have the driver in stock and I can pick it up during the week.

Follow up:

This album was nowhere near the quality of the "house sound" we have come to expect from the Living Stereo Series. It sounds very distant and closed in. At first I thought it might be the pressing since it was done on Oil Embargo vinyl But then I looked deeper into my library and discover that this piece was included in the first RCA Living Stereo CD Box (Disc 60) and listening to it on CD I hard the same kind of distant sound.I guess it just goes to show that while the living stereo series produced some outstanding records, not every piece of vinyl with a dog on it is a sonic gem.

I was talking to JimBones about my speaker predicament and he very astutely pointed out that it would be a good idea to hook up some kind of old speakers to the system before I fixed the Nolas and play it for a few hours to make sure that tightening the ground lugs fixed the problem and there is not some other kind of hardware fault that will re-injure the Nolas once I repare them. Good call Jim!  :thumb: In my funk about the failure I wasn't really thinking clearly about the going forward steps.

That's why I like it here, There is always somebody to watch your back

So I went out to the garage and dug out an old pair of Kenwood speakers that I bought in 1981 for $49 in the Macys Clearance center. If they blow out, who cares.

Well so far they have been playing for about 45 minutes with no problems. I'll keep my fingers crossed that things remain OK.

I went back and picked up right where I left off, playing the LP that was on the table when the Nolas blew:

Toscanini (Conducting the NBC Symphony Orchestra): Light Classical Favorites, Disc 2

Arthur Fiedler's Favorites - The Ballet

This is one of a series of LP sets pressed by RCA for Time Life. I picked up 15 of these at the Crack House for 69 cents a set.   :shock:

As these are RCA recordings pressed by RCA the SQ is quite good (even on those $49 speakers I am dealing with right now)  and as for the performances, it's the Boston Pops, what more do I need to say? Looking forward to listening to the rest of them, but as you might imagine, this is going to be a long term project.  Started with the Ballet set to keep my wife happy - I'm no fool.  8)

Made it through four album sides last night with no hums, so I am hoping that tightening the ground connections took care of the problem.

Called Nola this morning and they have the driver in stock and I hopefully be able to pick it up on Wed afternoon.

In the mean time I will continue to put as many hours as I can on the test speakers to make sure the hum does not pop up again.

Situations like this  go to highlight the benefit of taking an hour or so ever few months to do some preventative maintenance on your system like cleaning and tightening all of the cable connections. With everything that was going on over the past year in terms of moving and the wedding I go sloppy in that regard and ended getting burnt.

Like the guy in the old STP commercials used to say, "You can pay me now, or you can pay me latter."

BTW, how is Jerome doing? I miss  all of the insights he brought to both our music and hardware discussions.

Keith Jarrett ~ Treasure Island

Hi Tom,
Up your nose with a rubber hose. The album was released in 1974 and Mr. Jarrett was 29. Jerome and I meet this summer for the 1st time when he stopped by my house on his way home after visiting his family in Maryland. He's doing great we talk on the phone about once a week.

Makes sense. Welcome Back Kotter hit the airwaves in 1975.

But I still can't help thinking that he looks like he as a Mr. Kotter Mustache and Juan Epstien's hair!

I just hope he doesn't sing like Horshack.  :shock:

When I get a chance I will start another thread about my set up adventures and impressions of the sub. But at first blush, with pretty much no break in or final tweaking done, the sub is not really giving me more bass, but rather just filling in and giving more weight to the bass that the Nols were already producing. Better quailty as opposed to more quantity. Which is really all I was looking for.

More details to come.........

(http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/theboot.com/files/2014/08/The-Doobie-Brothers-Southbound.jpg) Arista CD

A greatest hits collection with each song newly recorded featuring a different guest artist. My mind I have the originals these arrangements are not different or unique enough to justify self space. Not a bad listen if you can get if\t from the library like I did, but IMO also not worth owning unless you are a Doobies completeist.

A very uneven collection, some tracks OK and others... meh.
The liner notes don't give any indication when the tracks were recorded, but I get the feeling that these are just a bunch of tracks that High Note artists recorded of Beatles tunes that were thrown together to try and take advantage of the Beatles 50th anniversary.

The Dave Brubeck Quartet: Their Last Time Out

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61UJ3kA7wRL._SX300_.jpg) Columbia Legacy 2 CD Set

A recording of The Dave Brubeck Quartet's last concert together on Dec 26, 1967. Released in 2011 I think there is a reason this sat in the vaults for 44 years. While it is musically interesting and certainly historical the sound is very meh. IMO this recording was never originally intended for public release. It sounds more like just a stereo mike that was thrown up to simply capture the performance for a musician's sound check. Not particularly bad in any respect, but not very good either. Listenable if you want it for the historical aspect, but there is much better sounding Brubeck recordings out there if you are really looking for the music.

The Sunday Brunch Album

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/611WZVxc1YL._SS280.jpg) CBS CD

I saw this at the Crack House and since we are hosting a Holiday Brunch next Sunday I figured what the heck.

A collection of small group Baroque pieces chosen to be used as background music at a gathering. Part of the CBS Masterworks Dinner Classics series.

 As much as I usually don't care much for Columbia recordings is one is actually pretty good  and usable even as a "sit down and listen" CD.

Dave Brubeck - The Music of America: Inventing Jazz

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51CCFbxrxFL._SX355_.jpg) Sony Masterworks 2 CD Set

A while back I said that the "Their Last Time Out" was not the place to start if you were trying to add some Brubeck music to your collection, well this set is.

From Amazon:
"During his long and prolific career, Dave Brubeck (Time magazine s 1955 Man of the Year ) often veered away from his jazz roots to branch into long-form instrumental compositions, mixing the classic sounds of his renowned quartet with symphonic orchestras. What has always been unique with Brubeck, a former student of Darius Milhaud, is that he straddled easily both worlds, exploring with avidity the endless possibilities of both when blended together, as evidenced by some of the selections in this 2-CD collection for The Music Of America series."

This set give you a really good idea of what Dave Brubeck is all about and a good overview of what  he has done over the course of his career. And you can find it starting at 99 cents for a used copy on Amazon, and only $5.99 for a brand new one.   :shock:

Tchaikovsky 1812: Erich Kunzel/Cincinnati Pops

(http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_8_3/images/music-27-telarc-1812.jpg)  Telarc CD


Not the the infamous 1978 woofer blowing Telarc recording, but a new one , recorded in 1998 using DSD technology.

A big improvement over the '78 recording. Much better sense of the hall and the addition of the Keiv Symphony Chorus adds a lot of dimensionality. I would like to say that this is because it is a DSD recording but I think it is more than that . This is the 71st album that Telarc has recorded of this orchestra in the same hall. I think in addition to the technology advances the Telarc team has simply used there experience to fine tune the recording and put out a better product. But all that aside, for me the biggest improvement is the reduction in dynamic range. Reduction???, yes you heard that right. I always felt that the biggest shortcoming of the "78 release was that in the quest to make the recording hi-fi spectacular they made the canons so loud that if you tried to listen to the music at any kind of reasonable level you risked damaging your equipment when the canon shots came along. In the DSD version the canons and much closer to the overall volume of the music so you can now enjoy the music without having to jump out of the chair and lower the volume before the canons came in.

Nice choices Tom!

That Sony Brubeck set - not much early stuff? I love early Brubeck!

My fav 1812 is Abbado/Chicago on Sony in 1990. It seems like a pretty loud mix overall, but the cannons do still protrude, seems just right. The cannons are shot outdoors and the echos from the surrounding buildings or hills can be heard, very cool!  Let me know if you want to try it.

Yes, I think that is the one. That says released in 1991, mine says recorded 1990. Mine is a 6 CD set of all Tchaikovsky's symphonic works, minus the ballets. My box artwork is different, but I think this what it looks like now. A great set with Romeo&J, Symph 4, and Voyevoda all blowing the roof off.
(http://www.arkivmusic.com/graphics/covers/AMG/covers/large/176/1769706.jpg)


A review of 1812 from Amazon.com:
"The Chicago Symphony has always had a great brass section, but this is the proof. Who cares if it's not musical? When the trombone section completely obliterates the rest of the orchestra during the 1812it is just glorious! And in Marche Slave when the low brass gets theCzarist National Anthem, CharlieVernon takes the Bass Trombonepart down the octave and blasts overthe tuba deep in the pedal range! Like I said, it may not be completelymusical, but it's a testament to what can be done."

The very best performance of Violin Concerto ever made, and the very best Triple Concerto ever recorded. Absolutely awesome in every way. These two works were recently put together on a single CD. It is available used for $0.01 (plus ship ;) ) I think this must be the best value in the history of the known universe.

Rich they were a big player in bubblegum rock in the mid to late 60s.

Their biggest hits were Simon Says, 1,2,3 Red Light, Goody Goody Gumdrops and Indian Giver.  The other big name from the Bubblegum era that you might recognize was the Ohio Express whose biggest hit was Chewy Chewy. Pretty much geared themselves to the Jr. HS girls market back then.

Even More Dazed and Confused

I found the Original Soundtrack from this movie at the Crack House last year and it was a nice collection of 70s rock tunes, so when I found this follow-up CD on my trip there this weekend I picked it up. Credible SQ, great memories.

Pman, do you know this band?   For some reason i thought of it when I saw your last posts. My uncle gave me this record (and some other of his discards) when I was 5. I haven't heard it in many years. I wonder if I would still like it?

Hi Rich,
Tmazz covered it pretty well in his reply.

Yes I'm familiar with the 1910 Fruitgum Co.
I'm not so sure at this point it would be very high on your list of LP's to spin  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Thanks for the low down, Tom. My uncle gave it to me in 1970, so the record wasn't even a year old and he was already done with it. He was probably mid teens then.

Thanks Gents!

Beethoven's birthday was yesterday. Had he lived, he would be 244 years old   :?

Today I was listening to my favorite Beethoven CD:

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41E8NPVQ2VL.jpg)

The very best performance of Violin Concerto ever made, and the very best Triple Concerto ever recorded. Absolutely awesome in every way. These two works were recently put together on a single CD. It is available used for $0.01 (plus ship ;) ) I think this must be the best value in the history of the known universe.

Got my copy today from Amazon. You are right on, this is without a doubt a top of the pile CD. Great Music , great performance and great SQ. (BTW, just curious, the copy I got was a 2 CD set, is your both pieces on a single disc?)

All in all I would say that this is the best penny I ever spent.   :drool:

Guys, buy this one, even if you have to spend a quarter.  :rofl:
Title: Re: What are you listening to right now?
Post by: richidoo on December 24, 2014, 06:41:05 PM
I never actually bought that new release with both pieces together, but I'm not surprised they won't both fit within 76 minutes.  I have been enjoying both pieces from different CDs for a few years. Last year I sent the Triple Concerto to Gene, then I learned that both were available together in one title.

I'm glad you like it as much as I do. Just wait a few weeks when the melodies start following you around everywhere!

I watched the movie "Julie and Julia" with my wife tonight. Pretty typical chick flick drivel until the final soundtrack song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFtx54oRkBo

"Time after Time" - by Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne (1947,) sung by Margaret Whiting (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Whiting), recorded for Capital Records:

Margaret Whiting (vocals) with Paul Weston and his Orchestra, incl. strings | (Session #422) LA, October 16, 1946
Time after time
Beware my heart
If I had you

This (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00003W0XM) is the double CD with the hits from Capital Records, now out of print. I just ordered it. Apparently this song Time after Time isn't even in her top ten hits. Big pop star after the war.
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41TP7PYP1TL.jpg)



Beware: she covered her own hit again in 1966 with a pop groovy rock beat on her first record for her new label London Records. Avoid this one:

If you like Ellington, if you like big band music, if you like hard core 1950s jazz, if you want to hear a historic live concert that changed the destiny of jazz and put Duke on the cover of Time mag, then have a peek at this new (1999) issue. It contains the actual live concert recordings very well mastered with CD dynamic range in mind, and a tasteful touch of "enhanced for stereo" phase trickery to fill in the sound stage. Awesome!!!  The 2 CD set also contains remastered versions of the studio session recorded the next day in NY which was issued (in 1956) for decades as the real live concert, complete with added echo, reverb, dubbed in audience applause and background noise, editing, and announcements from the real concert.

Do you ever wish you could have been there, at a live recording that you loved so much? I have loved my 1977 LP of the "studio concert," but this is like going back in time and being able to attend the previous night's show live. Clean, full dynamic range, a real audience panicking to get more, and the performers are more inspired by thousands of screaming people on the mansion lawns.

Solo violin. The music is harmonically sophisticated, reaching for something different, bordering on modern, but with one foot still grounded in romantic. Soloist's violin tone, musicial sensitivity and phrasing are beautiful.  The natural hall sound is large and a little dark, but it suits the music. Echo is not a problem, good diffuse reverb. Typical Naxos great recording quality.

Edit: My above comments don't reflect the great music on this disk. the compositions and interpretation are really great. it is an adventure into new places, but is not intimidating or confusing. Inspiring, refreshing, ballsy, bold, confident, clever.

This Long Island, NY band was formerly The Rich Kids, of Denny Belline and the Rich Kids, after Belline decided he could do better solo. Man's only album is primarily semi-hard, semi-commercial rock, sporting minor psych influences.

I never really listened to this album, so when I saw it on the shelf in the library I thought I would give it a try.  It was OK, but IMO nowhere near worth all the hype I had heard about it over the years. Maybe I was just expecting to much.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that felt this about the Adele 19 album. I actually paid $$$ and bought this on vinyl. I listened to it a couple of times and it was so so. It no where near the 5 star reviews on Amazon etc and I actually wanted my money back. I really like Adele's 21 album but then my bias for producer Rick Rubin might be kicking in.

The Flaming Lips: With a Little Help From My Fwends

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/89/WithALittleHelpFromMyFwends.jpg/220px-WithALittleHelpFromMyFwends.jpg)

A track for track cover of The Bealtes Sgt Pepper album by psychedelic rock band The Flaming Lips (with guest vocals by Miley Cyrus). Like their cover of DSOTM, it is half past weird, but probably interesting enough for at least one listen to fans of the original works. Worth the effort to drive to the library and borrow it, but I don't think I would be willing to lay out cash for this one.

Interestingly enough, all proceeds from sales of this album will go to The Bella Foundation, an organization in Oklahoma City that helps provide veterinary care to needy pet owners.

I got this 2CD after hearing the song "Time after Time" from on the movie "Julie and Julia." Hearing the song I'd never heard before triggered strong feelings. So I found out who sung the soundtrack and then looked up Margaret Whiting whom I'd never heard of. Sure enough, she looks a lot like 2 women I dated loooong ago. This week one of them emailed out of the blue after 20 years. Uh-oh! I wish the other one emailed me instead.  :lol: Maybe if I listen to this record enough she will...  :drool:

The music is really great, simple pop songs from the 40s, post war. My wife and I danced in the LR when I put it on, she loved it! The SQ of the CD isn't great however. Wicked digititis on strings and anything that dares to venture above 3kHz. Fortunately, Margaret's voice has no trace of sibilance, smooth and sweet as creme brulee. It's too bad this music is too passe to reissue for baby boomer vinylists.

tmazz --- you really need to hear the vinyl version, which I'm playing right now... very intimate with lots of soul... the digital versions, really SUCK! Digititus, shrieky, the loudness wars... Not sure where the Vinyl was mastered but on "21", Sterling Sound in NYC mastered the LP... The LP on "21" has vastly superior SQ compared to the Digital version... just wondering if this is the case with "19"...

This is an awesome album. Perfect recording. Dynamics, space, tone are all there very intense. This may be the best recorded string quartet record I have. Naxos is always good, but this is ridiculous.

The music is very unique, original, modern, smart. The band is very tight, extremely well rehearsed for this tough music. Feels like they have something to prove, like the greatest musicians always do. The overall theme of the recording is all about dynamics. Obviously the loudness dynamics are here but every facet of music is taken to extreme. Chaos and harmony, dread and humor, peace and violence, dissonance and simple harmony. I have never heard such innovative and original effects and techniques written for string quartet. This is very entertaining and enlightening.

This is my kind of music!  :D

Solti/Cleveland tears it up. Ballsy, technically excellent. Karajan's Egmont is one of my favorite Beethoven ditties ever, but this has stricter tempos and more bad ass attitude from Solti. Huge orchestral sound, more compression but it is very tasteful, does what it's supposed to do.

Don "Sugarcane" Harris ~ Sugarcane.........1970

I went through 6 boxes of LP's today at a customers house. She told me to take what I wanted. This is what I grabbed.

Quote
For some reason, his albums on the German MPS label seem to be more readily available than this one. This one was produced by the (now recently departed) Johnny Otis, with songwriting contributions from Johnny, his son Shuggie and Harris himself. Some may be familiar with Harris's bluesy electric violin on Frank Zappa's albums from around this time, notably Hot Rats (also featuring Shuggie Otis, although not on the same tracks as Sugarcane), Weasels Ripped My Flesh (with Harris's violin and lead vocal on the Little Richard song, 'Directly From my Heart to You') and his jawdropping violin solo on side two of Burnt Weeny Sandwich. He was earlier half of the R&B duo, Don and Dewey, which no doubt was responsible for Zappa's interest in him. Neil Young has covered one of Don and Dewey's songs, 'Farmer John.'

Harris was quite prolific in the early-mid 70s, playing with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and recording several albums as leader for MPS, featuring such notable players as Harvey Mandel and Robert Wyatt. He seems to have just kinda faded away after that, although Wiki tells me that he was in a group called Tupelo Chain Sex in the 1980s. He died in 1999, hopefully somewhat enriched by the royalties from Neil Young.

Beethoven: 9th Symphony - Solti/Chicago Symphony Orchestra

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/4174FK6XPWL.jpg) London CD

From Amazon:
You seldom hear an unsuccessful performance of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony these days, or a successful one of the Ninth. The straightforward energy of the Fifth is easy for contemporary musicians to handle, but the greater mystery of the Ninth seems to make conductors uneasy. Conductors seldom attempt the mystical approach of Furtwängler these days, but sometimes a straightforward, sensible approach works out. Such is the case with this 1986 Solti recording, which doesn't court the dangers of Furtwänglerian extremes, but does work out very well on its own terms. Solti's tempos are quite moderate (his total timing is about the same as Furtwängler's), giving him time to make the music's points. Note his strong rhythmic emphasis in the first two movements, highlighted by prominent and powerful tympani. If the long Adagio isn't quite as moving as it can be, it's still convincing and it avoids sentimentality. With Solti's sense of structure, he manages to hold the finale together very well. The solo singers and magnificent chorus contribute powerfully to the total effect. This is certainly one of the better Beethoven Ninths in the catalog, recorded with brilliant clarity and warmth. --Leslie Gerber

Hank Mobley ‎– A Slice Of The Top

I bought a lot of Mobley and McLean over a year ago, listened once and put away, they didn't 'grab' me, maybe cuz not as familiar to my ear as Miles/Morgan/Coltrane/Adderly etc. Dusting them off and playing again, and enjoying them quite a bit. More so Mobley then McLean so far, but that could change.

This an interesting outing, an octet with tuba and euphonium, a 'fuller' sound.

The Freddie Redd stuff with McLean are pretty good.

I like Mobley's earlier stuff like with Blakey and Morgan "At the Jazz Corner of the World" (2 volumes,) and Mobley's own "No Room for Squares," and with Dorham on the Horace Silver and Jazz Messengers album. If you don't like those then Mobley just isn't your thing. Like me with Dexter, it just never happened.

And I'm not saying I don't like McLean, just didn't warm to it at first listen. I'll be playing more over next few days.

No Dex huh? I love him, especially the early '60's work on BN, like Pete's 'GO'.

Jackie McLean ‎– Capuchin Swing

One of Jackie McLean's more underrated albums from a plethora of Blue Note releases, 1960's Capuchin Swing finds the bebop alto saxophonist in fine form on a mix of covers and originals.

Eschewing ballads, McLean focuses on mid- to fast-tempo swingers and blues. Standouts include originals like "Francisco" and "Condition Blue" and choice renditions of "Just for Now" and "Don't Blame Me."

My wife Meredith had the first of her reconstructive foot surgeries last Thursday and has been in quite a lot of pain since. The only relief she seems to get is when the Percosets knock her out. So I have been trying to be a nice guy and keeping the stereo shut off so as not to wake her. Lately the only music I have gotten to listen to has been in the car as I run out to do errands.  :(

Thanks Rich. The Doc was very happy with how things went, but there are a whole bunch of pins and screws in there (multiple decades of ballet had really taken a toll on her feet), so the healing will just have to take its time. Hopefully as the initial inflammation from the surgery goes down much of the pain will subside as well.

I hope it went well, Tom, and that she recovers quickly.

Thanks Rich. The Doc was very happy with how things went, but there are a whole bunch of pins and screws in there (multiple decades of ballet had really taken a toll on her feet), so the healing will just have to take its time. Hopefully as the initial inflammation from the surgery goes down much of the pain will subside as well.

If you guys haven't heard Snarky Puppy yet you need to check this out. This one is their live album and it is awesome. I haven;t heard the studio albums yet but I intend to.

I't a very jazzy band, with guitar, horns, synth. Lots of energy and music of a somewhat progressive - jazz - rock nature. Very accessible, not experimental at all.

Torsten Nilsson: Cantate Domino

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41%2Bot3XCTJL._SY300_.jpg) Proprius/ FIM LP

This long time audiophile benchmark LP has now been released by First Impressions Music (FIM) as a 200g flat profile UHQR type pressing manufactured for them at Chad Kassem's Quality Record Pressings plant.

First of the LP itself is perfectly flat and dead quiet, not a click or pop anywhere. That is all well and good, but what about the SQ?

My reference pressing for this LP has always been the Audio Source 1/2 speed mastered version that was pressed in Japan. Compared to that the FIM pressing has a larger soundstage (laterally anyway, the height rendering is roughly the same on my system), more detail in terms of hall sound a and a more well defined sense of space around the individual voices (you get much more of a sense of each singer as opposed the sound of a massed chorus.However, the new version has less of a sense of warmth that the Audio Source Half Speed. So over all I would think that some folks will like it better and others will prefer the old version. (kind of like a tubes vs SS thing)

Myself, I can appreciate the attributes of each one and think I will need to listen to them a few more time before I can say which one I prefer on an overall basis. It may end up being one of those cases where it just depends on what kind of mood I am in at the time.

To each his own.......

 Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

Frank's first foray into Bossa Nova, and it works. Probably because it's mostly Jobim's works. Still, Frank is very understated here, and with each playing of this it grows on me.

From Allmusic guide - Supported by a relaxed, sympathetic arrangement of muted brass, simmering percussion, soft strings, and Jobim's lilting guitar, Sinatra turns in an especially noteworthy performance; he has never sounded so subtle, underplaying every line he delivers and showcasing vocal techniques that he never had displayed before.

Glenn Gouldberg Variations...   :rofl:

How is the music? Does she sound stiff?
Title: Re: What are you listening to right now?
Post by: sleepyguy24 on February 18, 2015, 07:12:57 PM
Evening Rich

You beat me to it. I was going to reach out to you about this LP and the music. First I was thinking to get comparable LPs to the JS Bach Goldberg Variations I got from MA recordings.

Here is what I found on Amazon but am unsure of which one to buy.

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Dpopular&field-keywords=Bach%3A%20Goldberg%20Variations%20lp

Any recommendations you have would be appreciated.

Initially I wanted to try to hear if I could pick up a difference between a recording done with MA Recordings equipment vs. the same music done with more normal pro audio equipment but then there are just too many variables to consider and I don't think it is possible.

Now I just want to hear the same music played by someone else to hear if Ito Ema's piano playing is stiff or not. Do I maybe buy Ito Ema's other music to hear if her Piano playing is stiff?

I do like the music. Very enjoyable and relaxing. Not sleep inducing actually. The pressing is worth the $33 + shipping I paid IMO. Very solid record and the inner sleeve is quite nice.
Title: Re: What are you listening to right now?
Post by: richidoo on February 18, 2015, 08:27:04 PM
I agree that the comparison of recording quality is moot. I'm sure you will notice the superiority of the Ma recording as you listen to any other records of any music.

I just realized your post about the hirez download from last week is this Ito Goldberg recording. I still haven't listened to it because my DAC is not on the network right now.

I think I only have the two Gould versions of Goldberg. Same guy 25 years apart, very different interpretations. PM your addy?

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51peWUz2VYL.jpg)

They are the most famous version of all, some of the biggest selling records in all of classical music. That's why the Ito version reviewer made the joke Gouldberg Variations. They are newly remastered and reissued together on these:
http://www.amazon.com/Glenn-Gould-Complete-Goldberg-Variations/dp/B00006FI7C
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0085MK2M6
The 1981 version was recorded on Sony prototype digital recording equipment, 14 bit depth, before they knew about jitter. But it still sounds good so they must have had the foresight to use a good external clock?

Simone Dinnerstein has a Goldberg out. I have her playing Beethoven. Her style is very unique, so I'm sure hers would be wildly different than anyone elses. Her version proves that Beethoven invented jazz. I don't listen to her Beethoven much, but I did enjoy it the first time.

Murray Parahia seems to be the other important modern interpretation since Gould 1981.

I love Garrick Ohllson playing Chopin, that's his main gig, but the review of his Goldberg is very interesting, not a showoff techboat, but another musical interpretation like Gould's but different.

There are MANY piano giants that have recorded Goldberg over the decades. 207 CDs on ArkiveMusic.com
http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/Drilldown?name_id1=527&name_role1=1&genre=128&bcorder=19&comp_id=270

If I had to pick 3 more to buy besides the Goulds, I would choose:
http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/album.jsp?album_id=238
http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/album.jsp?album_id=134055
http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/album.jsp?album_id=173638

72 CDs with Arkiv recommendation, meaning critical acclaim for artistic performance and or recording quality in this list: (http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/albumList.jsp?name_id1=527&name_role1=1&comp_id=270&genre=128&bcorder=195H&album_group=5)
Title: Re: What are you listening to right now?
Post by: richidoo on February 20, 2015, 10:58:20 AM
Here is video of alt version of Glenn Gould's 1981 Goldberg. Not the version that went to CD. The issued version is much more serious. This video has an ease and levity that is not the same heavy mood as the record. It is only 47 minutes, while the record is 51 minutes. He died less than a year later at age 50.  The video goes out of sync in this video.

Columbia must have really thought this would be an important recording. It is one of their first digital recordings. Gould was big on recording technology and the power of television. I'm sure the cameras were his idea.

I can't help wonder whether the recordists, feeling trepidation of using the brand new digital recording technology on a remake of one of their most successful Columbia recordings of all time, didn't have the big Studer 1/2" running along with the Sony F1?

Actually a little Googling and I learned that they were remastered in 2002 from the analog tapes, which not suprisingly sounded much better than the 14bit DDD recording first issued. The analog remaster was called A State of Wonder, pictured above, and also contains the 1955 version digitally remastered at 24/96.

1955 version sold 100,000 copies by 2000, but the 1981 redo had sold over 2 million copies by 2000.

Enjoy!

This album is suffering from a serious case of "Bostonitus". Every song sounds the same. Loved his first comeback album (An Other Cup), but IMO, his stuff has been on a downward slide since then.

(http://www.musicdirect.com/images/product/medium/230251.jpg) Reference Recordings 1/2 Speed Mastered, 200g, 45 RPM, 2 LP set

.... and yes, it is as good as Fremmer said in his review

The Mephisto album was released by RR in 1998 and up until a month or so ago was only available on CD (which many of us already have and are very familar with.). But this new 45 RPM vinyl version (pressed at Chad's QRP plant) really takes it to a new level.

Highly recommended. Get it while you can.

A long time audiophile favorite, I pulled this out to compare the Night on Bald Mountain on this and the Mephisto LP I just got. Well I'm sorry folks but it was not even close. The Mephisto version walked all over it. Not only were the sonics better ion every way, but I like the Oue preformance of the piece much better as well. Of listening to the Power version I remembered why it had been sitting on the shelf so long. I find the pacing of Leibowitz reading very rushed, to the point where I feel it even changes the emotional impact of the music.

Must have been over 35 years since I've listen to this album.   

   A friend of mine, who used to mock me on how I would remove the album from the the sleeve so no fingerprints would get on the vinyl, begged me to lend it to him. Against my better judgement, I did. After several weeks went by I asked for it back. "Oh". he says. "I lent it to Tommy", a friend of ours. We both went to Tommy's house to retrieve the album. The album cover was in taters. Didnt bode well on the condition of the album   . I pulled one of the albums out in a way, ya know, that I wouldnt get my fingerprints on the vinyl. I was heartbroken. Scratches everywhere. The grooves on the cut, "Smoke on the Water" must have been played over a hundred times that they were almost entirely gone.
They were both dead to me  :twisted: Lesson learned. :lol:

I have to say, this is one of the better cover Versions of DSOTM. This recording of a Gov't Mule concert in Boston on Halloween 2008 is nice from both aperformance and a SQ basis. While the Deluxe version dost contain more cuts from Dark Side than the standard release, they still do not play the complete album. (They stop at "Money" :( )

However, they also include cover versions of a number of other Floyd songs and some Gov't Mule originals, so all in all I consider this a worthy addtion to the collection.

The DVD cntains video of the entire show in both stereo and surround sound.

Yes, and it sounds it. The passion of youth!

This was his second recording for Columbia, in 1956. His immaturity and hyper-imaginative interpretations work better on Beethoven than on his first Bach Goldberg, imo.

Update:

For what its worth, I took a look at the DVD last night. The sound is OK but the video production is rather amatuerish. The lighting was obviously set up for the benefit of the audience, not the video and as such the whole thing is rather dark and dingy.I guess it is OK if you are a real fan and just want to see what the show was like, but it is not something that I could see mayself sitting down to watch purely for enjoyment. As a free bouns with the Deluxe Edition I guess it is OK, but it certainly is not something that they could sell as a stand alone video release without pissing off a lot of people (IMO , of course.)

Tom Paxton: Redemption Road

(http://www.tompaxton.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/TomPaxton_RedemptionRoad_Web-300x264.jpg)  Pax Records CD

Just released this week, I picked up my copy at a Tom Paxton/Janis Ian concert last Sat. night. Janis Ian was fantastic, but unfortunately Tom's performance was not up to the standard that we have come to expect.  One of the hallmarks of a Paxton show was always the feeling you got that there was not a thing in the world that he would have rather been doing at the moment. He always had fun on staged and it showed. Last Sat I just got the feeling that he would have rather been home on the couch watching TV. His normal enthusiasm was gone  and replaced by what I felt was an attitude of "let's just get this done." In addition to is demeanor on stage even the selection of songs that he played was kind of down and dreary, lacking the kind of satirical songs that he is best known for.

But heck, Tom is now 77 years old and just last summer lost his wife of 50+ years. He recently announced that he will be playing out his current scheduled concerts and then be retiring form the road. I can now understand why as he just looked burnt out, but being the trooper that he is  he will honor his existing commitments before packing it in.

Rather than being upset by the lackluster performance (although we did have a good time as Janis Ian was outstanding and really carried the show,) I felt more sadness than anything else as I was watching someone who had enjoyed his work so much in the past (I have seen litereally dozens of Paxton shows over the past 35 years) and had just lost the spark and looked so down and out. Having lost  my own wife not so many years ago I know all to well what he is going through and wish him all the best as he takes the time to heal and move on.

Although he is retiring from touring per se, he did say on his web site that he will continue to do occasional shows here and there and I can only hopethat as a long time Long Island resident some of those occasions will take place up here.

Tom Paxton: Live for the Record

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51LCX-zdkNL._SY355_.jpg) Sugar Hill CD

Meredith had never been to a Paxton concert before and last weekend was kind of a bust in that respect, so I pulled out this CD to show her what Tom was like in his prime. Although he has done several live albums I always keep coming back to this one. The performance is great and the program is full of the biting musical commentary on politics and current events that kept people coming back year after year.

Cashman and West: Lifesong

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41PWJRlrwcL.jpg) ABC Dunhill LP

Terry Cashman and Tommy West wrote, recorded and produced many hit songs, but probably had there biggest success as producers of Jim Croce's 3 albums for ABC records (with the exception of Terry Cashmans "Talkin' Baseball" (Willie, Mickey and the Duke) which has taken n a life of its own in ballparks all over the country).

This is IMO the best album that the put out of their own work. it contains two songs (Three Stones from the Sun and Lifesong) that very poignantly address the philosophical questions of what's life all about and why are we here. Other than those two the rest of the album is kind of fun early 70s light pop/rock.

Tom Paxton: Looking at the Moon

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41MZX180F5L.jpg) Appleseed CD

Earlier this week I went to the 9/11 museum for the first time. (FYI, it is very well done) and being there made me think of this album which contains a song called "The Bravest" which is the story of that day told from the perspective of a survivor  who keeps talking about how all the firemen were going up the stairs while he was leaving the building.  The song really strikes a cord with me as I watched north tower fall from my office window with a co-worker whose son worked in that building, luckily he got out unharmed, but we did not know that at the time.  (Although I was in mid town several miles away I had a south facing window and direct line of sight of the twin towers looking down 6th Ave.)

Gene,

If you like the Emperor keep an eye out for the PopeMusic recording of it. Great sound and a great performance. One of my go to discs. And if you didn't know what it was you would probably look right past it in a shop.

(http://cps-static.rovicorp.com/3/JPG_400/MI0000/969/MI0000969275.jpg?partner=allrovi.com)

It is out of print, but you still see copies kicking around on some of the major music sites (Music Direct et al) at clearance prices. It was produced in both aluminum (PM 1004-2) and gold  (PM 2004-2) pressings and the cover is the same so the only way to tell them apart if the disc is sealed is by the stock numbers.

The Fresh Aire Music of Mannheim Steamroller

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81TZbfSFR9L._SX355_.jpg) American Gramaphone 2 CD set

I saw this in the library and picked it up for twp reasons. 1) It was a nice way to reconnect with some long time "audio friends" as I have been listening to the Fresh Aire series since it was first released in the early 80s and have not really done so in quite some time. and 2) I have the whole series on CD (and yes vinyl as well), but all of the CDs are the first pressings. This set was mastered using the HDCD system and I was curious about how different the sound would be. Well I guess it cannot be considered a conclusive test because we have no way of knowing if the mastering EQ setting were different for the two releases, but I have to say that when playing several cuts from the original CDs and comparing them to the same cuts  on the HDCD encoded collect I found that the HDCD had noticeably better SQ across the board.

Way back when a bunch of us from the AudioSyndrome had the opportunity to visit the home of Gene Pope, the owner of PopeMusic and he played the original master tape of this album on the same Nagra tape deck and external clock unit that was used to do the recording (the rest of the system was 100% Cello electronics and speakers. The SQ was absolutely breathtaking. At one point he put his hand behind the Nagra and flipped a switch to change the Nagra from using the external timing unit to using its own internal clock. The whole sound stage collapsed and much detail was lost. That certainly sold me on the importance of timing integrity and jitter reduction.

Robin Bullock - Majesty and Magic

(http://www.robinbullock.com/images/Majesty_and_Magic_large.jpg) Dancing Wolf CD

I got this CD at the Tom Paxton/Janis Ian show I saw last weekend. Robin played back-up for them along with a few solos  and I was very impressed with his  playing, thus the purchase in the lobby on the way out.

Very nice CD from both the SQ and the musical perspective.

From his own web site:
"On his ninth solo CD, internationally acclaimed guitarist Robin Bullock explores the music of three great composers: the legendary blind Irish bard Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738), the premier lute virtuoso of Renaissance England, John Dowland (1563-1630), and the master himself, Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). Robin's exquisite solo interpretations of the timeless works of Bach, Dowland and Carolan carry the steel-string guitar to new, otherworldly heights."

Just heard Sarah Jarosz singing her song "Run Away" with Alison Krauss doing backing vocals on Transatlantic Sessions on local PBS fundraising TV show. Unbelievable perfect harmony between these two most special voices. I had a mouthful of my daughters homemade chocolate chip and coconut oil muffins when they were singing the chorus = peak emotion. This single is available here. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BEIC4UQ/ref=dm_mu_dp_trk8)

This kind of music makes hifi irrelevant. I only wish there was a whole album of these two singing duets, but I will be picking up some records by this young raven.

That is a major gripe of mine regarding live CDs or albums. I found out some bands re-record parts and do other shenanigans before they release Live albums. I was a bit peeved when I found this out and questions was this album truly live.

RTI pressed, mono Acoustech LP.  My LP mat has cork rings that lift the record up off the platter, making enough clearance for the puffy label.

Great, great music! I grew up on this record. Not heard it at home in 25 years.

Mastering EQ too much bass, not enough treble. Trumpet sounds great, everything else is off. Too laid back, too much dynamic compression. Same as the other RTI/Acoustech album.

LP
A super record, beautiful recording, great original tunes experimental but traditional, excellent mastering!!!!  :-P
Clarinet, vibes and harmon muted trumpet sound perfect. Bass is big and tuneful without the big disco bloat and punch, drums tight and snapper and alive. Dynamic as hell. Airy and clear, yet dense tone. Just awesome sound. Pan too wide, typical of late 50s stereo show off. Proves that they knew better in 1960 how to make a good sounding vinyl jazz record than they know now. I have never heard a record sound this good recorded after 1980. It's easy to ignore the surface noise when the sound behind it is so good.
Corny 50s "stereo theatrical jazz" style that was common among West Coast and swing guys trying to get hip with the bebop kids.  Never heard of the label.

$.50 from Goodwill!

Gotta love Goodwill (which BTW, contrary to what they would like people to think, is actually a for profit corporation and not a charity, FWIW)

Roulette records was formed in the mid 50s and was allegedly a front business for the Genovese Crime Family who supposedly skimmed million of dollars in royalties due to their artists leaving them to survive on the revenues from live performances (wow, back to the future). However Roulette was also known for giving their acts pretty much total artistic freedom while other labels at the time tended t micro manage  and mold the acts to what the label wanted to see.

During the late 1950s, Roulette scored hits by Buddy Knox, Jimmy Bowen, the Playmates, Jimmie Rodgers, Ronnie Hawkins as well as releasing albums by Pearl Bailey, Dinah Washington and Count Basie.

During the early 1960s, Roulette issued a number of hits connected to the twist dance craze, most notably by releasing "Peppermint Twist" by Joey Dee and the Starliters. But probably their biggest act of the 60s was Tommy James and the Shondells  whose hits "Hanky Panky", "I Think We're Alone Now", "Mirage", "Mony Mony", "Crimson and Clover", as well as many others were released during his time.

The label and their catalog are now part of the Blue Note Group.

I told her yes it was, and not only did I have a copy, but it was an audiophile pressing........ At which point she just walked out of the room, rolling her eyes and saying "Why do I even ask?"   :roll:

Just curious if you get a second can you take a look at the label and see where the LP was made. My gut feel is that this may be an LP that was licensed from Roulette for distribution in another country, thus the different label. Also check if there are any dates on the label and to they coresspond with any dates listed on the cover. it could also be that it was just licensed for reissue in the 70s or 80s when Rouolette was not doing as well financally and looking for easy cash. (why I let these things bother me, I don't know.  :roll:)

If you like the Pops this is a nice album from both a musical and a performance standpoint and it of course displays the usual Telrac HQ sound.

If you don't particularly care for the Pops in general or consider it elevator music, then don't waste your time with this.

Elvis Costello/The Brodsky Quartet: The Juliet Letters

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61B%2BKqaoBSL._SS280.jpg) Warner Bros CD

From Amazon:
"London-born Declan McManus, better known as Elvis Costello, has distinguished his remarkable career with a long and acclaimed string of artistically adventurous albums. this lyrically brilliant and melodically nimble singer-songwriter's penchant for exploring diverse genres and shifting musical personae is nowhere more front and center than on 1993's The Juliet Letters. Inspired by a collection of missives written by an Italian professor to Shakespeare's Juliet, this unique project fuses pop sensibilities and chamber music form, proving both avant garde and accesssible as Costello gave new meaning to the term alternative music. "


From my perspective I don't really know what to make of this. I have beeen listeing to this on headphones at work in dribs and drabs. Perhaps I need to sit down at home and give it a more serious and uniterupted listen. But I guess that in and of itself says something, since I and not just tossing it after a brief listen.

Hugh Laurie - Let Them Talk

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51P3LUlLD6L._SX355_.jpg) Warner Bros CD


Yes, that Hugh Laurie. This is Dr. House visits Bourbon St. And this is not a gimick album to cash in of the sucess of his TV show. Laurie is actally a rather accomplished musician.

From Amazon:

"Hugh Laurie will release his debut album 'Let Them Talk' on Warner Bros. Records. A glorious celebration of New Orleans blues, 'Let Them Talk' unites Laurie's musical talent with a very personal selection of standards and lost blues classics performed with his band of renowned musicians and some very special guest stars. Produced by Joe Henry and recorded at sessions in Los Angeles and New Orleans, 'Let Them Talk' sees Laurie on vocals and piano heading a team of musicians whose previous collective credits include work with artists as varied as Greg Allman, Solomon Burke, Robert Plant, kd lang, T-Bone Burnett, Alison Krause and John Legend. Together, they interpret and revive songs originally recorded by NOLA blues legends such as Lead Belly, Robert Johnson, Ray Charles and Memphis Slim. 'Let Them Talk' also features collaborations with the Soul Queen of New Orleans Irma Thomas and Sir Tom Jones on the little known 'Baby, please Make A Change'. Thomas also leads the vocals on 'John Henry', while Laurie's lifelong hero Dr. John provides a momentous collaboration on 'After You've Gone'. Another legend, the producer, musician and songwriter Allen Toussaint, contributes horn arrangements throughout."

Looking forwaord to hearing the follow up to this debut album, entitled "Didn't it Rain" whichI just ordered form the library.

Jon Anderson with Todmobile, Live November 2013

In 2013 Jon Anderson appeared with an Icelandic band, Todmobile and a full orchestra.  My first reaction: "No!  Anderson is ancient and Yes' music has always collapsed under its own weight when it dares to merge with an orchestra. Gah!"

Then I clicked the link...why not? 

And...oh, my.  Jon, at age 69, sounds fresh, healthy (finally---good for him) and youthful (we should all be so lucky).  The band Todmobile, of whom I previously  have not heard, prove faithful and meticulous fans of Yes (and prog---the also have appeared with Steve Hackett).  Their arrangement of Awaken is careful, true to the original, smacks only the slightest bit of Scandinavia and is simply glorious. It's better than any live version I could find by the original band.  Todmobile have chops and bring live concert intensity while staying absolutely faithful to the original recording. 

If you are a Yes fan, spend the twenty minutes.  It is well worth it .

Where y'all at? Where y'all at? Where y'all at?
Like brrap, brrap, brrap

Bruce Springsteen: We Shall Overcome - The Seeger Sessions

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61kQoJUwCzL._SY355_.jpg)  Columbia CD

I found this CD very hard to listen to. Pete Seeger music is supposed to be simple and clean (like a vocal with a single acoustic guitar or banjo.) But this album was just so overproduced and there were so many things going on at once that it lost the spirit of the folk music it was trying to honor.

I know this is supposed to be a highly regarded and sought afteralbum, but while the somics are great. to musical selections left me cold. Ti slow and drawn out for my taste. And I do like bothTony Bennett and Bill evans as single artists, but this album just didn't do it for me.

Kenny Burrell: The Blue Note Years

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ssBwri%2B%2BL._SX425_.jpg) Toshiba - EMI CD (Japanese Import)

This turned out to be the find of the day at PREX last weekend. I found this for $3.99, which is a little on the high side for stuff in the clearance bin. But it was a good musical collection so I took it. I didn't look at it too closely, but the fact that it was in a mini LP sleeve should have tipped me off. When I got home and examined it more closely I found that it was a Japanese import pressing that is priced on Amazon for $30 and up for a used copy.  :thumb:

Cat Stevens: Tea for the Tillerman

(http://cdn.analogplanet.com/images/styles/200_wide/public/0415TEA.jpg?itok=FOSESt-I)  Alalogue Productions 45 RPM 2 LP Set

Much to my delight, this arrived last weekend. While I have never heard and original pink label Island pressing, I would have to say that 33 RPM version issued by Analogue Productions a few years back was the best sounding Tillerman I hadever heard (it bested both my regular MoFi and the UHR pressing). Well I was not disappointed, this pressing sounds better than the 33 in pretty much ever way. It is cleaner, more dynamic and presents a good bit more inner detail. And while I know Jerome has mentioned having problems with quite a few 45 RPM presings in the past, at least my copy of this album is perfect and free from all randon noises, clicks, pops etc.

Now that said, this pressing may not be for everyone. My son was running out on Sat night and I grabbed him for a 10 minute listen. We cued up Father and Son and sat down to listen to both the 33 & the 45. His comment after just a brief on song comparison was that there really was not any single sonic characteristic that didn't sound better in ad of itself on the 45 version, however; for some reason he just like the 33 version better. He felt that the 33 version had a more organic sound to it and just sounded more to him like live music. He got the feeling that the 45 sounded so good it wsas almost artificial. Now this opinion might chage if he listens to the whole album and gets more into it (it also  may not). But I thoufght it was an interesting gut reaction from a 21 year old.

 FYI - If you are interested in buying a 45 RPM coy of this album please keep in mind that Chad will only be pressing 3500 copies of this 45 RPM version and I preordered mine and got No. 2068, so I don't imagine that there are too many copies left.

Also worth noting is that although they did not give an exact date some of the promotional information from Chad states that tier licence to produce any  Tillerman LPs at all  will be expireing soon, so if you want a copy of either version I suspect you will need to  grab this while you can. I am sure they will be in short supply before you know it.

Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon - The Immersion Edition

(http://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/images_blogs/underwire/2011/09/pink-floyd-the-dark-side-of-the-moon-immersion-box-set-packshot.jpg)

After six months on the library waiting list I have finaly gotten my habnds on this. And I was at the same time thrilled and terribly disappointed. Disappointed because I already had pretty much 80% of what was in his box and hrilled because the stuff I did not have is really good. The box contains 3 CDs, 3 DVDs and 1 Bluray. Let's look at each one indiviually:



DISC 1 – CD 1:
 
The Dark Side Of The Moon digitally remastered by James Guthrie 2011

OK, this sucked when it was released in 2001 and it sucks now. In order to cater to the ipod crowd, this entire album as compressed to the point where the life is squeezed ot of if.
 
DISC 2 – CD 2:
 
The Dark Side Of The Moon performed live at Wembley in 1974 (2011 Mix and previously unreleased)

Nice live recording, both from a performance and a SQ basis but it was also included as the secinf disc in the 2011 Experience Edition, and I already had it.  :(

 
DISC 3 – DVD 1, ALL AUDIO:
 
The Dark Side Of The Moon, James Guthrie 2003 5.1 Surround Mix (previously released only on SACD) in standard resolution audio at 448 kbps
 – The Dark Side Of The Moon, James Guthrie 2003 5.1 Surround Mix (previously released only on SACD) in high resolution audio at 640 kbps
 – The Dark Side Of The Moon, LPCM Stereo mix (as disc 1)
 – The Dark Side Of The Moon, Alan Parsons Quad Mix (previously released only on vinyl LP/8 track tape in 1973) in standard resolution audio at 448 kbps – The Dark Side Of The Moon, Alan Parsons Quad Mix (previously released only on vinyl LP/8 track tape in 1973) in high resolution audio at 640 kbps

The Alan Parsons Quad mix is he album as the band really wanted it released, but EMI told them that not enough people had quad sysms to make it worthwhile.  I really like the quad mix even though the only place in the house I can play it is my not-so-High End HT system. Again I already had a copies of everything on this Disc.
 
DISC 4 – DVD 2, ALL AUDIO VISUAL:
 
-Live In Brighton 1972:
 Careful With That Axe, Eugene (previously unreleased on DVD)
 Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun (previously unreleased on DVD)
 -The Dark Side Of The Moon, 2003 documentary (25 min EPK)
 -Concert Screen Films (60 min total):
 British Tour 1974
 French Tour 1974
 North American Tour 1975
 
Screen films play in stereo and 5.1 Surround Sound

The doucmentary was released by Eagle Rock as part of thie"Classic Rock" series (which I already have).

The concert Screen films are interestig to look at and were really high tech for the times

DISC 5 – BLURAY, AUDIO+AUDIO VISUAL
 
-AUDIO: The Dark Side Of The Moon, James Guthrie 2003 5.1 Surround Mix (previously released only on SACD) in high resolution audio at 96 kHz/24-bit
 -AUDIO: The Dark Side Of The Moon, Original stereo mix (1973) mastered in high resolution audio at 96 kHz/24-bit
 -AUDIO VISUAL: Live In Brighton 1972:
 Careful With That Axe, Eugene (previously unreleased on DVD/BluRay)
 Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun (previously unreleased on DVD/BluRay)
 -AUDIO VISUAL: The Dark Side Of The Moon, 2003 documentary (EPK)
 -AUDIO VISUAL: Concert Screen Films (5.1 Surround Mix):
 British Tour 1974
 French Tour 1974
 North American Tour 1975
 -AUDIO VISUAL: Concert Screen Films (High Resolution Stereo Mix):
 British Tour 1974
 French Tour 1974
 North American Tour 1975

Pretty much everything that is included on the two DVD discs reformated for Blue Ray players
 
DISC 6  – CD3:
 
-The Dark Side Of The Moon 1972 Early Album Mix engineered by Alan Parsons (previously unreleased)
 – The Hard Way (from ‘Household Objects’ project)
 – Us And Them, Richard Wright Demo (previously unreleased)
 – The Travel Sequence, live from Brighton June 1972 (previously unreleased)
 – The Mortality Sequence, live from Brighton June 1972 (previously unreleased)
 – Any Colour You Like, live from Brighton June 1972 (previously unreleased)
 – The Travel Sequence, studio recording 1972 (previously unreleased)
 – Money, Roger Waters’ demo (previously unreleased)

This one is the jackpot from my perspective. The early mix is an inprogress intermediate mixdown, which was which ws done as a checkpoint at some point in the project. The music and vocals are pretty much the same, but it contains sound effects that did not make it onto the final version as well as holes where further sound effects were added,. This made the whole wait worh it to me. The rest of the disc contains demo tracks and a few by the band members misc tracks used duing concerts in the 70s.The box set also contains quite a few replica Floyd concert souveniers, which were not in the box when it ws put into circulation by the library.  

All in all, althought I had most of what was included in the box, just being able to fill in some gaps made this a worthwhile experience to me

Instant Karma : The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/fc/John-Lennon-Darfur-v2.jpg) Warner Bros 2 CD Set

The rights to Lennon's songs and music publishing royalties were donated to Amnesty International by Yoko Ono. Amnesty International utilized the songs to start the "Make Some Noise" project, which later led to the subsidiary campaign "Instant Karma." Eventually, enough momentum was achieved through the project release this album which is a compilation album of various artists covering songs of John Lennon to benefit Amnesty International's campaign to alleviate the crisis in Darfur.

Includes the original album plus 4 bonus tracks and a second disc containing a live show from 1977 which includes Yvonne Elliman (of Jesus Christ Superstar fame) singing "Can't Find My Way Back Home." At the time she was married to the president of RSO records... it pays to have friends in high places.  8)   All kidding aside, she does do a nice job of it.

Jennifer Warnes: Love Lifts Us Up 1968 - 1983

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fyYu0EntL._SY355_.jpg) Raven CD (Australian Import)

This 20 track compilation contains work from Jennifer's early career in the 60's until just before she recorded the audiophile breakthrough album "Famous Blue Raincoat". I found it an interesting listen because it really shows not only her progression and maturation as an artist over the 15 year period, but also her changes in pop music in terms of sophistication of arrangements and recording technologies. (I guess it also reflects the amount of money the record companies were willing to put into her recordings as she began to sell more and more records. The 12 page liner notes booklet also provides a nice overview of the progress of her career over time.

(Another nice Crack House find.  :D)

My older son got a job working on a cruise ship, so Tuesday I had to spend 7 hours in the car driving him to the company's Corp headquarters for some pre deployment orientation. Should have been 4 hours or less round trip, butbetween the rain and all of the accidents cused by people who don't know how to drive in it I ended up on the road for close to double that. But I had a good cache of tunes for the ride so it could have been a lot worse.

I foound this one at the Crack house for a buck and decided to take a chance o it purely because it was a Telarc CD. Well the sound quality was definitey up to the usial Telarc standards, but the music did not do anythig for me. Kind of a fusion of modern jazz with old style rap. I guess it would be OK it you are into that type of thing, but it was just not my cup of tea.

Even though I really do enjoy the music on this album, it would be worth owning  if only for the photo on the Lyrics insert (Shown in the pic above the LP)  :drool

Agree! Sexy woman, and sold it tastefully.

Haymarket Square ~ Magic Lantern............Re-issue vinyl(obviously   :rofl: :rofl: )




Quote
Haymarket Square was a Chicago-based psychedelic rock band in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Their album, Magic Lantern, released in 1968, was pressed in an edition of 80 - 100 copies, and despite its rarity is well considered by fans of psychedelic rock music even today. The music of the album was used to accompany the Baron and Bailey Light Circus at the Museum of Contemporary Art.

I have a few fiends in Boston who I know will like the "Angels of Fenway" cut, but outside of that I agree that it is pretty non discript. Not really that bad, but not really that good either.

I got tickets to see him at Forest Hills Stadium later in te summer and you got a free copy of the CD with every pair of tickets purchased.  So I have it, but it is another disc that falls into the category of I'm glad I got to listen to it, butat the same time am glad I didn't have to lay out any cash to do so.

Holst / Sir Adrian Boult, New Philharmonia Orchestra, With Chorus ‎– The Planets

Put this on to see how the amp would handle Mars, it did fine.

But Venus showed me that the new tweeter not as 'expressive' as the original in other box.

How much break-in time do tweets need?

Title: Re: What are you listening to right now?
Post by: richidoo on July 07, 2015, 08:06:45 PM
100 hours should get most of it. If still not right, the replacement tweeter has too different parameters from the original.

"The Planets" is so much fun, and so many great versions recorded. If you like Holst, check out his First and Second Suites for Military Band. That was a game changer for concert band music, like Bird was to swing.

Hank Mobley: Peckin' Time

So after listening to abunch of my blue note stuff I decided that there was nothing in Chad's sale inventory that was really worth buying at this time. Not that he didn' have a lot of great music to choose from, but I listened to several things he had on sale that I had either audiophile 33 RPM repressings or CD copies of and in each case I decided it was not worth the money to upgrade because I decided that it just wasn't worth the money or the shelf space to get a second, third or fourth copy of something. In other words, the version that I had sounded pretty darn good, so I was not coplelled to upgrade. Had I not had a good sounding version of some of these albums I would have grabbed then in a heartbeart As $30 for a 2 disc 45 RPM pressing is a great price, for something that I did not have. I just didn't feel compelled to spend it for an additional version.

Grab your sweaters boys. The Vampire walked away from a record sale!!!  It's going to be a cold day in hell.  :rofl:

Holst: Hammersmith / Moorside Suite / Suite No. 1 in E flat / Suite No. 2 in F - Dunn/Dallas Symphony Winds

Thanks Tom!  I will check it out. The RR CDs sound so powerful.

This is the version of Holst Band Suites that I listen to:
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51BY7xQlt1L._SY355_.jpg)

Some of the melodies in the suites are so infectious. One of the movements has three completely diffferent and unrelated melodies and it just rotates through them several times which is easy to repeat ad infinitum in your head. If you get that piece stuck in your head you're doomed.  Holst was one of the greatest melodists of all time, imo.

Recently I have been listening to this one:

If you like concert band music then you'll like this, at least the Holst part anyway.

The Kinks ‎– State Of Confusion

Looks like I bought 3 consecutive Kinks albums from late in their run, not the period I was looking for.

For example, I'm playing the single Waterloo Sunset on Youtube as I type, that's the Kink's sound I was looking for.

Oh well, I return to CA in 2 weeks, I'll go back and see what else is in the 'K' bin.

Meanwhile, this is another very clean 1st pressing. Why does CA have so many clean 1st pressings?

Jethro Tull: Aqualung

Picked up this pristine condition LP for $4. The cover has a sticker on it that says "Made in England" and also gives the London street address for Chrysalis Records. But the LP says nothing on the label nor in the dead wax about the country of origin.

This is what the label looks like:

I had an original Apple pressing of this album that I bought when it first came out with money from my paper route But in those days all I had to play it on was my parent's record player (I won't even call it a turntable  :roll: ) which tracked at about 5 grams, and that was before we put the coins on the headshell to keep the worn stylus from mistracking.  :lol:

Needless to say, my first copy got the tar beat out of it. Not too long ago I found this purple label Capitol pressing from the mid 80s. It is in great shape and while it is not the sonic equivalent of an original UK Apple pressing, it is still great music, and that's what it's all about.  :thumb

OK, for those of you who are wondering what the hell I am doing spinning so much vinyl in broad daylight I have had contractors working on the house to replace some defective stucco over the past few days. So while I am captive here keeping an eye on things I have had the opportunity to enjoy a couple of music appreciation days.

I know, it seems strange to me too, playing LPs with sun streaming in through the windows (in my old house the stereo room was in the basement, so even if I did listen during the day one single curtain blocked all of the outside light), but a music marathon sure beats watching Jerry Springer all day.  :lol:

Rick Wakeman: Journey to the Centre  of the Earth

(http://thumbs3.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mABff7QeP_snIDqOMElgfOA.jpg) Mobile Fidelity  1/2 Speed Mastered Anadisc 200 LP

I can remember sitting in my mother's living room when this first came out in 1974 and watching Wakeman perform this in concert on ABC's Midnight Special series. Shortly after that show I wired a set of line out jacks into my mother's TV so I could route the audio from these concert shows through my Pioneer reciever, which as lame as it was, still beat the pants off of the internal speaker on the TV. Of course then I just got yelled at to turn the volume down as the Midnight Specials were on the air at..... midnight, and everyone else in the house was trying to sleep. My listening tendencies were starting to show , even back then.  (https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSHfJ0cjLgTSoZ9rRszEGQmvDlaSuvvhtaEkcKCrGAri8FF8_BB)

The Buggs ~ The Beetle Beat




Quote
The Buggs' only album, The Beetle Beat, released in March 1964, consisted of covers of Beatles songs ("I Want To Hold Your Hand", "She Loves You") with some humorous originals ("Big Ben Hop" {"Sassy Sue"}, "Liverpool Drag" {"Why Won't You Leave That Man?"}, "Teddy Boy Stomp" {"I'll Never Leave You"}, "Mersey Mercy" {"You Got Me Bugged"}, "Swingin' Thames" {"That's For Sure"}, "London Town Swing" {"Why Can't You Love the Boy Who Loves You"}), "East End" {"Since You Broke My Heart"}, and a cover version of "Just One Look" (as "Soho Mash").
Despite the cover displaying "The original Liverpool sound", and claiming to have been "Recorded in England," The Buggs hailed from New Jersey and the album was actually recorded in the New York/New Jersey area.

Rick Wakeman: Journey to the Center of the Earth

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/916RS8vgX-L._SY355_.jpg) Music Fusion CD

In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the original album and the 150th anniversary of the Jules Verne novel it is based on Rick Wakeman released this re- recorded, re-packaged and expanded version of Journey to the Center of the Earth.

It is a studio album as opposed to the original which was recorded at a live performance. I think the combination of a better recording and the new orchestration make the music sound more dynamic and dramatic, but I like to vocals in the original better both from a SQ perspective (the new vocals seem to get lost in the mix at times), as well as just the voice of the vocalist. You win some you lose some, but all in all it is definitely worth a listen for those of you that are into prog, or just liked the original LP.

Laurence Juber: LJ Plays the Beatles

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51XPJp7%2BtXL._SX425_.jpg)  Solid Air CD


This is  the first of two albums of acoustic guitar versions of classic Beatles tunes,done by the former Wings lead guitarist. I picked up the second volume last week and this one arrived in the mail yesterday. It is played in a hard edgy style reminiscent of the early Michael Hedges albums on Windham Hill.  The second volume was recorded ten years later and by then Juber had adopted a bit more mellow style that I think just works better with the material he is presenting. Not that the first volume is bad in any sense, I just think the more mellow tone works better in this case. The SQ on both volumes id top shelf. If you are a fan of Beatles music I would definitely recommend both albums.

BTW - this had a much higher WAF than the Pink Floyd tribute CD I got earlier in the week. :lol:

My Styx album cover looks exactly the same - stains all over it (I bought it used for $1). Must be one of those "coaster" albums that everyone put their coffee down on.



A dollar !! I got ripped off I paid $1.50

$0.69 at the Crack House.... 35 cents of you go on 50% off day.  8)

The greatest jazz musician of all time on his best recorded live gig. Age 32 during his clean period, 3 years before his death. He was very happy at this time, career was flourishing, money, critical acclaim, money, happy home life, and it shows on record. Possibly the best recordings of Bird. Better than the Savoy and Dial studio sessions which are considered the meat of the Bird canon.
 
Now out of print, used copies usually priced ~$100, finally found a copy  for $40!

A little disappointed with this one. It was on my wish list for a long time from hearing it on the radio and Pandora, so I finally bought it. There are some great moments on it, like the title track is very nice, and there's some great Chet Baker lines throughout. He stands head and shoulders above the rest of the band musically, imo.

If you are a fan of either of these gentleman, just go out and get this one. It can be had on Amazon for as little as $3.

There is a delicacy and an emotional thread running through this performance of Scheherazade that just draws you right into the music. As with Pictures, if I want to show off the capabilities of my system I pull out the Reiner, but when I want to sit down and purely enjoy the music, the Amsermet is hands down my go-to disc.

Aardvark ~ self titled....1970


Quote
Heavy psychedelia or Progressive rock? It was hard for me to find this album, until then I only had one of their songs to listen to, titled "Copper Sunset". It's a very nice tune if you are interested in heavier sound. There are other great songs in this album, don't miss this one! Fun fact: They did not use a guitar in their songs. Originally, they became known mainly because Paul Kossof and Simon Kirke played in the band before leaving to form legendary band FREE. From then on, AARDVARK were mostly a studio act and by the time they recorded their only album, the line-up consisted of Stan Aldous (bass), Frank Clark (drums), Steve Milliner (keyboards, recorder, vibraphone) and Dave Skillin (vocals). Comparisons are not easy but one could probably say their music has the power of EMERSON, LAKE & POWELL mixed in with a little R&B à la PROCOL HARUM and early MOODY BLUES. Shades of GRYPHON, GREENSLADE and PINK FLOYD are also present.

Track listing

01.Copper Sunset
02.Very Nice Of You To Call
03.Many Things To Do
04.The Greencap
05.I Can't Stop
06.The Outing-Yes
07.Once Upon A Hill
08.Put That In Your Pipe And Smoke It

Just got this in the mail today. I heard a tune on Pandora from this, looked it up on Amazon, sho 'nuff a NC used book store selling it on vinyl for $2.27, new, sealed. Hmm. I've smelled this before... but what the hell?

Yup, it's brand new, sealed, perfect condition. Printed 2012 on 140g virgin vinyl says the label. So far so good. After a bath spin it up and listen. The vinyl is very quiet.  But the master sounds like mp3 128kbps.  :(  On the DOL label, out of Russia. My apologies to the Evans estate for not getting any royalties on my purchase.

But the music is awesome, some of the best Bill Evans I've heard. I highly recommend this record if you like Bill Evans. But seek out a legit CD or cough up for a genuine Verve pressing.

Nelson Rangell

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51G8H4HR1PL.jpg) GRP CD

Pretty generic GRP smooth jazz.

Not bad for background music, but I am glad I didn't pay more than the Crack House price for it.

Horace Silver and the Jazz Messengers

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51RXZYPZTJL._SY300_.jpg) Blue Note CD

This one was not up to the sonic standards I have come to expect from Blue Note. I had a hard sound to it. I'm not sure if it was the original recording, (which was done by Rudy Van Gelder, but prior to his setting up his own studio) or if is just a crappy CD mastering. And since I have never heard another copy of this album I have know way of knowing.

Great album. I think I have 2000ish CD and the old vinyl. I'll check them for SQ, but I don't remember any harshness.

My friend and mentor pianist James Williams (rip) told me about the time he was in Europe at a festival with Blakey in early 80s. Horace Silver Quintet was also on the festival. After the Blakey rehearsal in a hotel ballroom Horace got on the piano and played a bunch of these old trio tunes with Bu, and probably Lonnie Plaxico bass, a really sweet guy. James said it was very special moment to see them playing together again. They sounded exactly like on "A Night at Birdland" from 30 years before.

Lester Young: Prez Conferences

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71xqNeqwG5L._SL500_SY300_.jpg) Jazz Records Inc. CD

A collection of Lester Young recordings made from the mid 40s to the late 50s.

It's funny how the lack on SQ on the jazz messengers CD I just posted about really bothered me, but on the Lester Young recordings from the 40s the lack of frequency and dynamic range seem to add to their charm. There is some kind of musical magic in those jazz and big band recordings from the 40s that somehow overcomes their lower fidelity. And in fact in many cases I prefer the original recordings to more modern performances with great SQ like the GRP recording of the new Glenn Miller Orchestra called "In the Digital Mood".

Although I have to admit I do enjoy the performances of the M&Y direct to disc LP "For Duke", so it is not absolute (what in this hobby ever is?  :rofl: )

From Amazon:

"Keyboardist Merl Saunders roamed through the vaults at Fantasy Records in 1997, where he had recorded a voluminous amount of material in the 1970s, and put together this scintillating retrospective. Filled with multi-track remixes of forgotten masters, unreleased gems, restored parts over previously released material, this features Saunders fronting a bunch of different lineups and utilizing the talents of Jerry Garcia, Michael Bloomfield, David Grisman, Tom Fogerty, Vassar Clements, Kenneth Nash, John Kahn and a young Sheila E. Escovedo."

A nice collection of clapton's work from the 70s, but 21 out of the 25 cuts are previously released material, so if you  already have a good amount of 1970s Clapton in your collection look carefully at the track listing before laying out money for this one.

Listening to this and tapping my foot like crazy, though that may be because of the Dogfish Head Pumpkin Ale I'm swilling.

Busy weekend, so it is time to catch up on my listening posts. My wife got a new car last week so I spent a lot of time over the past few days in the garage, first changing out the radiator in my son's truck and then cleaning out and reorganizing things so there is room in there for her new car. So most of my music this last weekend was courtesy of the garage system.

Classical Thunder II - The Time-Life Library of Classical Favorites

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41dn1gI5WOL.jpg) Time Life CD

Found Volumes I & II at the Crack House and just ordered Vol. 3 from ebay for $2.99. There is a Vol 4, but evidently it is very rare and I have not seen it anywhere for less than $50, that's not happening, it's nice, but not for those kind of numbers.

 I will just put it on my watch list and pick it out of a dollar bin sooner or later.  :cool:

But beware from what I can see there are quite a few other titles in this Classical Favorites series and so far the only ones I have seen that are made by Telarc are these Classical Thunder discs. While I have found that in general Time Life CDs are very well done, I cannot vouch for the rest of the collection.

Pink Floyd: The Wall - The Immersion Edition

(http://osnogfloyd.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/images/2012/02/29/thewallbox.jpg) EMI 6CD, 1 DVD Set

Scored this at the library today. The first two discs are the original album and the next two are the live version from 1980, both of which I already have. But the last 2 CDs are called Work in Progress , Parts 1 & 2 which contain all kinds of demos some by Roger Waters himself , recorded in his home and others by the whole band in various stages of completion. An interesting look at the creative process that brought The Wall into being.

I have not had time to look at the DVD yet but one of the things on it that caught my eye is a 50 minute documentary called Behind The Wall. That should be interesting......

The Best of Barbershop 1990-1992, Disc 1

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51H473TFGJL._SX425_.jpg)Intersound CD

Live recordings from the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement 9of Barbershop Quartet Singing in America;s international conventions in 1990 through 1992.

Just a fun disc to listen to.

Although this was originally a 3 disc set, I picked it up fromthe Crack House and they only had Disc 1.  :(

The Sound of Music - Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops with the 1987 Studio Cast

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51dRR89DHjL._SX425_.jpg) Telarc CD

For this recording Telarc put agroup of operatic sigers together with Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops and the result is pretty much what one would ecpect, an album that sound more like an opera than a musical. It has the expected Telarc high level of SQ, but the performance is just not right. From a musical perspective I would much rather listen to the Julie Andrews motion picture soundtrack or the Mary Martin orignal Broadway Cast recording. But that's just me, YMMV.

At least it was only a pull from the dollar bin.....

This live albun was recorded during the Stones' Steel Wheels (American) and Urban Jungle (European) tours during 1989-90.
An intresting piece of rock trivia is that this tour marked the band's first live shows in East Germany and Czechoslovakia where a ticket was recognized as a one day passport for Hungarians and Poles.

One of Miles' best records! Probably his most impressive and technical trumpet playing on record. I think this is Miles at his peak. This was one of the first big gigs and the first recording of this great band. 17 yo Tony Williams' first major recording?  A very important record in jazz history.

Each one contains two 24k Gold CDs.  This set contains performances of classical pieces that were featured in various movies. They are not by big name artists, but they are credible performances, with decent SQ and make for nice car listening on a long trip. And best off, since nobody really know what they are you can find them on a pretty regular basis in the dollar bins.

The music is not really my cup of tea, Mid-90s prog rock/punk, but it turns out that one of the guitarists in this band works, not only in my department , but also sits only a few cubicles away from me. So it was kind of cool to find a sealed vinyl copy of one of his albums on discogs. (and yes he did autograph it for me.  :thumb:)

This is another sleeper series. MCA issued this series of smooth jazz LPs in the late 80s and pressed them on the same vinyl formulation that Mobile Fidelity used. (you can see through the vinyl if you hold it up to a light, just like the MoFi releases of that era.

Nice quiet pressing, good SQ and if you like smooth jazz, good music as well.

Benny Goodman: The King of Swing

(http://cps-static.rovicorp.com/3/JPG_400/MI0001/491/MI0001491486.jpg?partner=allrovi.com) Fine Tune 24k Gold CD

This CD from the Fine Tune Gold Collection presents vintage recordings from the 1940s 78 rpm era. They have been processed to as much as possible to remove surface noise and pressed on gold CDs. While this  does not represent high fidelity with respect to the sound of the original live performances, it does produce a very clean and faithful reproduction of what recordings of that era sounded like. That like of hollow bandwidth limited sound is part of the magic of the big band recordings of those days and this series is a very good representation of that sound.

I guess if high end audio had existed in the 1940s this is what it would have sounded like.

I worked in a commercial  (not school) radio station back in my college days and our afternoon drive time show was hosted by a  gentleman by the name of Bob Logan, who played with the Glenn Miller Orchestra in the 40s. He did a Big Band show and sourced all of his music from original 78s. So I have a soft spot for vintage swing music and have enjoyed finding and listening to the CDs from this series.

And once the painting was done for the day it was time to sit down for some serious listening......

Ravel Orchestrations- Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition, etc. - Oje/Minnesota Orchestra

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5146oni51LL._SY355_.jpg)  Reference Recordings HDCD

After hearing some of the other things that Oje had done for Reference Recordings (Mephisto & Co. etc) I had very high hopes for this disc. Engineered by Keith Johnson it had the SQ that we have come to expect from Reference Recordings, but Oje reading of Pictures just didn't do it for me. It did not have the drive and power of the Reiner, nor the finesse or delicacy of the Ansermet. Not a bad reading by any stretch of the imagination, but just not a top of the pile performance. Then again with Reiner and Ansermet as the benchmarks, the bar is set pretty high on this one.

Stravinsky: The Firebird--Ansermet/L'Orchestra de la Suisse Romande

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81I4GfiLsaL._SX355_.jpg) London Mono LP (English Pressing)

Now this is more like it. I found this MINT copy for 69 cents at the Crack House last Sat. The cover was VG/VG- but the vinyl looks like it had never seen a turntable. Brought it home, put it through the VPI machine and dropped it on the TT. Wow, was I totally bummed. While the vinyl looked mint it had  more snaps, crackles and pops than a box of Rice Krispies.  :cry:

With nothing to lose at this point I figured I would head back down to the basement (where else would any self respecting vampire keep his records?... especially in the daylight hours   :lol:) and give is a rigorous scrubbing on the VPI. Washed it , dried it, popped it on the TT and Bingo, 95% of the surface noise was gone. Maybe some steam might get that last 5%........  :-k

Anyway, Tom is now a happy vampire.  :D

Great performance, nice SQ, pretty much no surface noise, all for less than the price of a Hershey Bar. It doesn't get any better than that.  :thumb:

Old and in the Way: Live at the Boarding House - The Complete Shows

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71ZKQ3r1L2L._SX425_.jpg)  Acoustic Disc 4 CD Set


In October of 1973, a bluegrass band calling themselves Old & in the Way featuring Jerry Garcia on banjo, David Grisman on mandolin, Peter Rowan on guitar, Vassar Clements on fiddle and John Kahn on bass walked on to the stage at The Boarding House in San Francisco.
 
They played again a week later and recorded what some would call one of the most influential albums in Bluegrass history. Now, forty years later, both
shows are being released on 4 compact discs. This will be the first cpmplete release of those historic shows with 55 tracks, 14 of which have never been released in any format. But keep in mind, that means that 75% of this album was previoisly released, so this may or may not be worth it to you if you have other Old and in the Way live albums. That aside, if you like bluegrass, this is a very enjoyable album.

Rodriguez ~ Cold Fact

Quote
Cold Fact is the debut album from American singer-songwriter Rodriguez. It was released in the United States on the Sussex label in March 1970. The album sold very poorly in the United States (Rodriguez was himself an unknown in the U.S.), but managed to sell well in both South Africa and Australia, with Rodriguez touring Australia in 1979.

The Beatles: Abbey Road

(http://www.rarebeatles.com/photopg3/abbeycd.jpg)

(http://www.israbox.com/uploads/posts/2011-10/1318578916_ar_bt_disc.jpg) Toshiba Pro Use CD (Japanese Import)

This was the first ever authorized Beatles CD, released in Japan in 1983 by Toshiba-EMI (CP35-3016). The limited pressing disc was licensed only for domestic sale in Japan, but quickly made its way to the U.S. and was available nationally for a short time in several stores, including the Tower Records chain.Upon learning it was being sold outside of Japan EMI cancelled their contract with Toshiba causing the CD to be withdrawn from the market.

I bought my copy at tower the first time I laid eyes on it and it is a good thing I did, because by the time I returned two weeks later they had been all pulled from the shelves. For the next four years the few copies that did get pressed were the only Beatle CDs on the planet. (Remember at this time CD burners did not exist, heck PCs did not even exist yet, and CD production capacity was still very small and pretty much all taken up by the major labels, so bootleg CDs had not yet hit the scene.)

Even though this was a very early CD it still had excellent SQ and IMO was significantly better than the Capital version released in 1987. Even today with all of the advances made in digital audio I feel that the 2009 stereo remaster release is only slightly better than the 1983 Toshiba.



Title: Re: What are you listening to right now?
Post by: tmazz on October 27, 2015, 07:39:50 AM
At the same time Toshiba released Abbey road they also released Dark Side of the Moon.

(http://www.hokafloyd.com/CDHOKA/dark_side_of_the_moon_toshiba/DarkSide04.jpg)

Although it also made it into the US market EMI never got that upset about it, probably because DSOTM was soon after released domestically in the US and UK so the Toshiba version was not as exclusive. As a result, the Toshiba DSOTM was easier to get your hands on. 

I am sure that it will come as no shock to any of you that I was the first one on the block to get one of these back in 1983.  |:D|

http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/668-fink-rco-astounding-album-app-experience/



Amazon offers 5 of his albums via Prime Streaming, unfortunately this is not one of them. But the samples sounded good so I think I will have to check out the ones they have via my Amazon Echo.

Thanks for sharing Evan. Glad to have you back on board. I am always on the prowl for good new artist (even if they are just new to me)

See, there really is some socially redeeming value to this thread.  :lol:

Adam Neiwood is a local talent that Cathy and I went to see this Wednesday evening at Newberry's Yard Of Ale.

Encore Performance Recordings: Gold Sampler Volume One

(http://imagizer.imageshack.com/img907/4267/aaSPtf.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.com/i/p7aaSPtfj)  Encore Performance Recordings Gold CD

Well as good as the Benny Goodman CD was, that is how disappointing this on is. They boast all kinds of sonic wonders from their one step mastering and pressing procedures. While I have no way of knowing that these are not super faithful to what is on the master tapes, the bottom line is the recordings them selves are not really worth listening to. The performances are nothing special and the recordings sound amateurish at best. The remind me of the recordings made of my high school orchestra where a mike was just place somewhere in the back of an empty auditorium and the record ended up sounding like they were paying in a bathroom somewhere. I would pass this one up. I am glad I only paid $2 for it.

Just more proof that all that glitters is not gold, and in audio physical gold does not always lead to sonic gold.

Jane Olivor: In Concert

(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/512xNkfXJ0L._SS280.jpg)  Columbia CD

Found this in the bargain bin at Mr. Cheapo's for 49 cents. Jane was one of my wife's favorite recording artist back in her college days so I figured I would get hero points for bringing  this one home (or maybe at least she would not notice all of the other discs I was bringing into the house  :Dunno )

When I picked it out of the bin I checked the disc and it looked fine so I threw it in my basket. However I never checked the booklet. Meredith was all excited when I gave it to her and immediately pulled out the booklet to see when the concert was recorded. And when she opened it there she found that it had been autographed.  The signature was definitely done in Sharpie and when I pulled up a picture of a Jane Oliver item for sale on ebay with a certified genuine autograph the signature looked, at least to my untrained eye, to be genuine.

Extra bonus hero points for this one!  :thumb

And it only cost me half a buck.  :2thumb

Karen's only solo album, recorded in 1979 while brother Richard took some time off for a stint in rehab, this album was produced by Phil Ramone with an eye towards a wider adult contemporary audience. It was rejected by the folks at A&M because it was not in keeping with The Carpenters "image". I was shelved and finally released 13 years after Karen's death. Not an album that I would consider serious listening material, but enjoyable as background music.

I would not have forked over full price for it, but not bad for a dollar bin pull.

HD Tracks


 A collection of all-new recordings revisits Merchant's multi-platinum solo debut, Tigerlily, originally released in 1995 following her departure from 10,000 Maniacs.

Tigerlily was described by the New York Times in 1995 as "an anomaly in a music scene in which reckless female performers reign supreme." The album sold more than five million copies worldwide and featured the popular hit singles "Carnival," "Wonder," and "Jealousy." Paradise Is There presents the songs as they have evolved over the past two decades of live performance. Joining Merchant on the album, which she produced herself, are her long-time band members Gabriel Gordon (guitar), Jesse Murphy (bass), Uri Sharlin (piano & accordion), and Allison Miller (drums), as well as a string quartet—Scot Moore (violin), Shawn Moore (violin), Marandi Hostetter (viola), and Stanley Moore (cello)—plus Sharel Cassity (saxophone) and guest vocals by Simi Stone, Gail Ann Dorsey, and Elizabeth Mitchell.

"Tigerlily is the most significant album I've made because it defined me as an independent songwriter after 12 years in 10,000 Maniacs," Merchant explains, "It also created a bond between me and an audience that has supported and sustained me for 20 years. I decided to make the Paradise Is There album and film for them, to honor the journey that we, and these songs, have all taken. Songs have new life breathed into them every time they are sung. Time has changed them as much as it has changed me." She continues, "I wanted to record these songs again because it seemed unfair to confine them to the way that they were performed in the studio in 1995. They are so versatile, whether I strip them bare or enhance them with strings, and they lend themselves so well to re-arrangement.

"There are several songs from Tigerlily—'Carnival', 'Wonder', 'Beloved Wife', 'River', and 'Cowboy Romance'—that remain at the core of my live shows. They still have relevance to me and, by the response they receive, I can tell that they still resonate with my audience," Merchant says. "I've spent a full year preparing this album and film, and the process gave me a chance to take the measure of everything that's happened because of Tigerlily. The distance this music traveled once it left my hands is humbling, and I am moved by how many lives it has touched along the way."

Nice performance of this classic. I fell in love with the music when I heard the movement "Nimrod" as the closing theme of the season finale of Top Gear a couple years ago. LSO does it good.

Miles playing is close to his best in the early era, but far below the other players, Blakey and Heath. Heath sounds lot like Mobley?

Great session.

I see your Bud and raise you John


Easily one of the most important records ever made, John Coltrane's A Love Supreme was his pinnacle studio outing that at once compiled all of his innovations from his past, spoke of his current deep spirituality, and also gave a glimpse into the next two and a half years

I had never seen or heard of it before, but saw it in a dollar bin ad decided to take a chance on it because of the B&O name. If you ever come across one, don't pass it up.

Frederick Fennell, who, along with Arthur Fiedler, I consider to be one of the masters of the "Pops" genre leads the Dallas Symphony Winds in a great performance. Combine this with the superb SQ we have come to expect from Keith Johnson and Reference Recordings and you come up with one very enjoyable album. 

BTW, looking through the Tidal catalog I have come to discover that they have almost the entire Reference Recording catalog in their streaming library. Sweet.   :drool:

Recorded over three consecutive nights in December of 2014, Live at the Village Vanguard showcases bassist Christian McBride and his trio in concert at the storied New York venue. A four-time Grammy winner, McBride has been a superstar in the jazz world since debuting as a teenager in the late '80s. Here, McBride is joined by his trio bandmates, pianist Christian Sands and drummer Ulysses Owens, Jr. This is the same outfit that recorded the swinging, sophisticated 2013 studio album Out Here. As with that release, Live at the Village Vanguard finds McBride diving headlong into a set of swaggering, lively standards, originals, and unexpected covers, including a take on the theme to the cult '70s comedy film Car Wash.

I saw this in the library and just couldn't resist. It is exactly what you would think it is from the title. Classic Rock hits played by a string quartet in the style of Mozart.

A fun library listen, but I am glad I didn't pay any significant money for it.  I already own enough CDs that I will probably not listen to a second time.  :duh

Roger Waters "The Wall"

(http://www.equilibriumblog.de/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/thewall.jpg)

OK so I posted a week or two ago that I was extremely underwhelmed by the SQ on the Tidal stream of this album, but I would reserve judgement until I heard the CD. Well, I got the CD and it is just as bad. (And it is not just me, because three other people have heard it in my house and said the same think. It had very strange phasey imaging and sounds like it was recorded on the inside of a box. Which really perplexed me because I saw this shoe live when it came to Long Island in Oct of 2011 and that show had some of the best SQ I had ever heard at a rock concert, period.

Last weekend I picked up the DVD from my library, just to see how that was. I was shocked, the difference was night and day. The 5.1 soundtrack of the DVD was clear and sound orders of magnitude better than the CD. I am completely befuddled as to why since you would think they both would have been source from the same feed, but for whatever reason the SQ is worlds apart. I wonder what the vinyl is like (but I am not about to risk $45 until I at least hear from somebody who has done a critical evaluation of it. And I would think the Bluray version of the video should sound better than the DVD as well. But after hearing the CD I am not going to go out on that limb right now.

Kids and wife out. Tubes hot. Cranked up!

Trane and Miles, Philly Joe, Red Garland. No frikken jimmy Cobb, no frikken Cannonball, no friken Bill Evans. No friken ballads. Pure essence of the first quintet, and their best album, imo, and Miles' first album on Columbia.

Executive producer George Avakian brought Miles to Columbia as he did with Brubeck, Monk, Ellington, etc.  He writes the liner notes on this album jacket.

Sound quality is so good it's hard to believe it's recorded in 1955-6!

OK, so over the weekend I came down with a killer case pof Bronchitis. The Dr gave me an Rx but told me I should stay home from work for two days so I wasn't contagious when I went into the office. So what is a sick vampire to do all day sitting alone in the house with nobody else home?  :-k

Spin records, what else!  8)

Time to go to the back wall and pull out a bunch of stuff I hadn't listen to in a long time. Spent pretty much all day listening (and I get to do it again tomorrow  :D) , but not much time posting , so it is time to catch up.

As good as the Horowitz was, when it comes to pure sound the RCA Direct to Disc of the Appasionata  by Ikuyo Kamiya has no peers.

(http://assets.rootsvinylguide.com/pictures/rca-rdc-4-direct-mastering-lab-series-beethoven-ikuyo-kamiya-45-rpm-audiophile_3799363)

Direct to disc and 45 RPM and pressed in Japan on JVC Supervinyl. It doesn't get much better than that. There is a reason that this LP has been included in the TAS Superdisc list ever since the early 80s

David Benoit: This End Up

(http://cps-static.rovicorp.com/3/JPG_400/MI0001/828/MI0001828845.jpg?partner=allrovi.com) Spindletop Records LP

A young David Benoit put this album out in 1986 prior to his GRP days. Benoit was clearly very concerned with the sound quailty of this album as it was recorded live to two track with no mixing or overdubbing and used threshold electronics and Marin Logan monitors. Tough to find on CD and damn near impossbile to find on LP (I suppose it was a very small press run as in 1986 damn near the whole world was running to jump on the CD bandwagon.). I could not find any mention of this LP anywhere on the internet  (only cover photo I could find was from the CD version.)

I have not listened to any of my Opus3 LPs in a dog's age. Opus 3 is a small independent label from Sweden that specializes in acoustic music, mainly jazz folk and classical. They were big i audiophile circles in the 80s and early 90s, but have not seemed to put out much new material since then. But I can stay I have never been disappointed in anything I bought from them.

This album features the vibes of Lars Erstrand in jazz duo, trio and quintet combos

I know this is a big fav in audiophile circles, but it never seems to get much play time in my house. Both Rene Leibowitz's readings of Mussorgsky warhorses Pictures at an Exhibition and Night on Bald Mountain and the SQ of this album are good and the SQ, but it just falls behind my two favorite recordings of Pictures, The Ansermet (for delicacy and emotion)  and the Reiner (for dynamics and punch) and as such never sees the platter much at all. Kinda like it was for the shortstop who played back up to Derek Jeter.

Before he started Chesky Records David Chesky was a studio musician and in 1908 put together this album for Columbia. The band he put together has soome pretty impressive people in it, Bob James, Lou Marini,  Joe Beck and Randy & Michael Brecker to name a few.

The album itself is kind of a big band treatment of smooth jazz.

(http://cps-static.rovicorp.com/3/JPG_400/MI0001/835/MI0001835628.jpg) LP

Billy Higgins, Buster Williams. I was hanging out with James a lot during the period when he recorded this. I heard him play the tunes at live gigs many times, with his local Boston band featuring Alan Dawson and John Lockwood. The title track Arioso is fast waltz. They used to play quarter note triplets on the 3/4 which morphed the time into swing 4/4 at 2/3 tempo. They'd play like that for a few minutes then shift back to 3 like a switch. Sometimes they would double time the 4/4, that was really hot. Dawson would play cymbal time with both hands, one on hihat, the other on the ride. He was a very exciting drummer and a great mentor for my brother and me and all of our contemporaries studying jazz in Boston in those 80s and 90s years. James was 14 years older than me, and now I'm 50, the age at which he passed away. He ate a lot of soul food restaurants. He took me to one once, next door to Berklee College. I was a very picky eater back then, they called me Morris. But now I eat anything and I still think that food was disgusting. ;)  James was a great mentor and was instrumental in launching the careers of many young players, Wynton Marsalis, Jeff Keezer, Tony Reedus, Donald Brown, Billy Pierce, me and many others. RIP my friend!

Nice sounding record. It was warped when I first got it a few years ago, But after sitting in the stack it is now mostly flat and seems quieter than I remember. Good playing, great band, great latin jazz take on bebop standards. Poncho tries to sing, but I skip those tracks.

Justin Bieber - "Purpose"

This is an excellent album. Santa brought it for my wife. From an audio production perspective it is very innovative and a serious effort to move the SOTA of pop music as he did pre-pube. This will pave the way for the sound you will hear for the next 5 years. Excellent recording quality, excellent mix, space, mastering. It is not as dynamically compressed as most pop songs, although on some tracks his voice is smashed while the background instrument accompaniment is big and spacious with great tone. They use compression consciously as a tonal texture. Overall his voice tone is sharp, harsh, autotuned like a mp3/synthesizer as you would expect, but the rest of the instruments are smooth and nice. It's not a dance album per se, although a couple dancey pop hits, one even has a contrived compressor pumping bass beat, so last summer, but that's just one short section of the song; after 8 bars the fake pumping dramatically disappears and the huge textured satisfyingly musical bass comes in 2 octaves lower, loud as fuck, shake your soul.

The whole album is one thematic work of art. It's meant to listen to the whole thing like a concert, imo. Kinda reminds me of Madonna's Ray of Light, but more urban, more contemporary and far more sophisticated musically and in the technical production. Overall the art is very genuine, sincere, and musical. I didn't say mature or spiritually inspiring, although the production and sonic stimulation did bring a few tears of adrenaline, always fun. Lyrics have graduated from 8th grade level of his last record to college freshman, but it's somewhat better than most pop songs. The lyrics are mostly positive and respectful from what I can gather in the first listening. There are some digs at his old squeeze Selena Gomez, but they are funny to this perennial hound. One tune samples has late nite talk show explanation of his bad behavior over the years, kind of self indulgent. But immediately his producer hits you again with an atom bomb of musical emotional production mastery, which redeems his famously immature client instantly. The last tune has JB gushing out his religious awakening rhetoric, but again the producer uses that just as context for a musically meaningful technically impressive blast of sound and music effects reminiscent of a 1945 Bud Powell solo piano coda.

The vocal "production" is extremely good, I didn't say his tone quality. The editing and timing of the vocal performance is superb. Most of that is him, he really is very musically talented. He has the IT factor x 1000. But now he has a producer to make JB seem more polished and slicker. Some of the editing has him singing humanly impossible phrases and runs in perfect timing and perfectly in tune as if he was a human piano or more accurately sampling synth. But it isn't trying to "fake" anything, it's intended to sound like a human robot as a production novelty - ear candy. It is humble in a way, he is willing to allow his producer (himself) to tease and pull on his voice like playdoh to make an artistic statement with the cutrting edge editing technology. Would Sinatra allow that? Yes, I know, he wouldn't have to, but the ego is strong in all these male pop stars and rarely do they let someone embellish their voice and persona in this way, a way that makes JB seems like a much larger and more significant artist than most of us would dare to suppose. Some people won't like the edited vocals, but it is pretty slick, imo. Much more sophisticated than typical trashy pop vocal editing that is trying to fake something it is not. Like I said before, a feeling of genuineness and autheticity pervades the album. This is the voice of the producers, not Justin, but he hired them and approved the mixes, so he gets the credit too. He has always had that sense of musical power that makes all his immature mistakes and flubs sound charming or whatever. But his vocal style is innovative and still relevant. It's still him. Of course there is artificial tone control, unprecendented vocal electronic effects, but it is mostly tastefully done, for a pop album intended to sell 50 million copies. I can recommend it for what it is. Highly produced, much anticipated rebirth of the biggest pop star of the decade. He and Katy Perry saved pop music and ended the reign of rap in 2010. If you buy it pickup two 18" subwoofers.

One tune "We Are!" mixes hard slow LA street rap with a rich reggae feel. It is infectious. (Don't forget the subs!) JBs vocal timing is extremely on, kudos to the vocal editor for making this swing hard, or was it a live take? (no)

The wiki says there are 22 producers. I guess that could be true if a different party came in for each song.

It is published on Def Jam Records, cred.

There isn't much major key simple pop formula stuff here. It's all pretty sophisticated harmonically and rhythmically. He has a good ear, or his editor does, j/k - there's only so much ProTools can do. Much of this great performance is JB. But two major players on this album are perfection and the innovative imaginative producer, whoever that really is. It's obvious that Justin knew what he wanted it to sound like and someone helped make it happen according to his desire. He is big enough now to control his sound and destiny and he continues to surprise and make excellent musical and business decisions.

Don't forget the subs!

Over the course of the past two days I have gotten through the first six CDs of the Ansermet set I got for Christmas.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51DsZLyrtkL._SX425_.jpg)

This covered Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake and The Nutcracker. The sound on this set so far has  been outstanding. At one point my wife came into the living room quite annoyed and wanted to know why I was playing records when all those new CDs she bought me for Christmas.  :shock:

It has only been released on CD in the US, but there is an import box set available which contains not only the two CDs, but also a four 180g  LP version and a 12 song DVD (which is PAL formatted, so I'm not sure if  my player will be able to read it). Elusive Disc is check with their buyers to see if an LP only release is in the works and will get back to me in a few days. :-)

A blast from the past.  8)

The original lounge music from the late ’50s and early ’60s was intended for “lonely guys with hi-fi’s.” The current rejuvenation of this music owes its resurgence to a new generation, who has discovered a life-style around this bachelor-pad music—cocktails, clothing, dancing, cigars, even movies. Capitol was the home to lounge kings Les Baxter and Martin Denny, among other notables.

One of my favorite sax albums this LP was recorded direct to disc in 1977, just as high end TTs were starting to come into their own and as such, it was no that big of a seller and it tough to find. Although I have seen it offered on line, this is only the third time in all these year's that I have seen a physical copy. The first time was when a friend from  work played it for me and I decided I needed to find one of these. The second time was when I scored a copy at a records store on the upper east side of Manhattan that was going out of business in the late 80s. An that was the last time I has seen an actual copy until this week when I found this one and figured for $10 it was worth having as a back-up copy.  :thumb

My wife had major foot surgery yesterday and the post-op pain is just starting to kick in full force. I will need to keep the volume low tonight so she can try to sleep through some of it. That means that the new Neil Young album is off the playlist for tonight. But I remembered seeing something on the Mercury shelf that should fit the bill just fine.

David Crosby & Graham Nash: Another Stoney Evening

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51KKP4vaeVL._SX425_.jpg)  Tidal Streaming

I found this interesting comment on Amazon from the producer of this album:

Hi there. This post is from Stephen Barncard, the producer of all versions of Crosby-Nash's "Another Stoney Evening".

I've been reading the reviews here of this record, and delighted to see so many people enjoying this show. There were a few complaints about the sound quality of this product in places, and I'd like to address these concerns.

The version released today as Vinyl, CD or download is a NEW MIX made in early 2011 from a 24/96 transfer from the original 8 tracks .

To understand this issue it would be prudent for me to describe the various mixes of this show that are out there and what company was in charge of distribution:

1) Grateful Dead Records (1997) -- pre pro tools CD created from 2 track tapes mixed in A&M Studio A and edited in a 4 track DAW called DECK, and using an Audiomedia card. Mixed on a Mac Performa 650. I admit that I used too many 'tricks' to try and 'clean up' the show, and wasn't quite as skilled at digital editing in that year as I became later. Despite the technical shortcomings, we sold hundreds of thousands of copies through Arista / GD records. This was the first Crosby Nash project that used budget-cutting methods to make the project possible, and the first outside major labels.

2) In 2001 I convinced DTS records that ASE would be a great project for a surround release, and so the DTS surround version was created. This time the original 8 track one inch tapes were transferred to 24/96 digital using db labs a-d converters, under db labs supervision. Several months were spent with input and support from DTS. At the same time the MERIDIAN standard for DVD-A releases finally became final and Another Stoney Evening was released by DTS and showcased at the 2002 Surround conference. It was released at the conference to much fanfare. This disc featured a 5.1 mix with DVD-A, DTS encoded and Dolby versions. The stereo version was a folded in, downmixed version of the surround version.

3) In early 2011, I was contacted by Crosby Nash management, who wanted the 'master' of the original 1997 for a CD and download release. Auditioning the original CD masters, I was not happy with the quality of the audio and editing of the project. Additionally, review of the stereo version from the DTS release left me less than underwhelmed. Then I listened to the 24/96 transfer tracks from the original 8 track one inch. Wow. There was only one thing to do; mix the entire evening over again and make it the cleanest possible, using no added echo and carefully using room ambience for depth. No noise reduction tricks as mentioned earlier.

One week later, I had what I felt was the masterpiece, my final version for the ages, mixed specifically for stereo at 96k, 24 bit. This was to prepare for the mastering stage, but just in case the project might be offered as a high definition download, it was broken up into song files. At that time management had not informed me of the decision to offer the concert in LP form; I thought this a pipe dream, although I'd always thought that the LP record would be the ultimate media format for this concert.

Later I discovered there were plans for an LP, I requested and received test pressings, and discovered a couple of off-center issues and an couple of clicks and pops. and corrected a few other things. When I heard the final product, I was BLOWN AWAY by the depth and quality of the final result. Kudos to the mastering engineer and the pressing plant - a superior product. To me - and I am not kidding - on a good turntable this LP sounds BETTER than the digital output of my mastering rig!

Take it from me and my reputation - this is the REAL DEAL and a treat for your turntable.

stephen barncard - december 13 2012


Follow up -

OK, I spoke too  soon on this one. I posted this up just as I was starting to listen to this album on Tidal. I don't disagree that the new mastering sounds nice, but I just didn't think the perfromance was anything to write home about, especially the CSN tunes. I read that this concert took place shortly after CSNY broke up and Crosby and Nash had pretty much just started performing as a duo. And unfortunately it sounds it. On the old CSN songs I get the sense that they just have not yet figured out how to harmonize the songs with two voices instead of 3 or 4. While the SQ is credible, IMO,  there are definitely Crosby and Nash live performances out there that sound much better from a musical perspective. ... and after all, it's all about the music. (where have I heard that before?  8))

I saw this album being offered on ebay and figured it is on Proprius records, which is known for putting out good sounding records (Jazz at the Pawnshop, Canate Domino etc.) and I know the artist as Radka Toneff's accompanist on the "Fairytales" album, so maybe I would give this one a shot.  Then a little voice in my head said "see if it is on Tidal." And boy am I glad I did. This is all some kind of improvisational avant-garde solo piano. Some people may like it, but as far as I am concerned... yuck. YMMV

I don't mind buying LPs of things that are on Tidal, if it can get me better SQ on something that I like. But in this case I didn't like the music in the first place so all bets are off.

I guess this month's Tidal subscription earned its keep.  :wink:

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41nGeWdFm%2BL._SX355_.jpg) Eagles Recording Company II  2 CD Set


“It’s Your World Now”
Written by Glenn Frey and Jack Tempchin


A perfect day, the sun is sinkin’ low
As evening falls, the gentle breezes blow
The time we shared went by so fast
Just like a dream, we knew it couldn’t last
But I’d do it all again
If I could, somehow
But I must be leavin’ soon
It’s your world now

It’s your world now
My race is run
I’m moving on
Like the setting sun
No sad goodbyes
No tears allowed
You’ll be alright
It’s your world now

Even when we are apart
You’ll always be in my heart
When dark clouds appear in the sky
Remember true love never dies

But first a kiss, one glass of wine
Just one more dance while there’s still time
My one last wish: someday, you’ll see
How hard I tried and how much you meant to me

It’s your world now
Use well your time
Be part of something good
Leave something good behind
The curtain falls
I take my bow
That’s how it’s meant to be
It’s your world now
It’s your world now
It’s your world now


It's kind of spooky that this was the last song (CD 2 Track 9) of the last album the eagles recorded together as a group.

An album of Traditional Jewish songs played by a bluegrass band. Interesting combination.

Given his propensity towards bluegrass and jug band music and his hillbilly looking beard I always assumed David Grisman grew up south of the Mason-Dixon line. I was very surprised to learn that he was actually raised in Hackensack  New Jersey in a conservative Jewish household.  (See what happens when you assume....)

He actually has a very interesting muscal bio which can be found in the following Wikipedia article:

Alexis Cole: Kisses in the Dark

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71xA8ogIOeL._SX355_.jpg) Chesky Binaural Series CD

I listened to this both on the main system and through my headphone and have the same thoughts both ways. While this binaural recording does present the listener with a large sense of space, I feel the mix is way off. Alexis is simply too far from the binaural mikes and her voice gets lost in the accompaniment. The horns are much clearer and louder than her voice and that just should not be. And it is frustrating because the vocalist should always be highlighted in the mix and all that would have had to be done too accomplish this was to have her stand a few feet closer to the mic.  It's a shame, because otherwise it is a nice album.

But having the lead vocals lost in the sauce is a show stopper for me.

(https://resources.tidal.com/images/8acf53a1/70ef/44ab/94cb/52daa729a88c/320x320.jpg) Tidal Streaming

I have really been enjoying this string of Ray Bryant albums and so when I saw Ray Bryant with Aretha Franklin I figure this one would be a no brainer.

WRONG!

The sound is nothing to right home about and the performance is just OK and certainly not good enough to make up for the mediocre sound.

This one gets tossed aside.  (Hey, they can't all be great. But that is the best thing about Tidal, you can check out all kinds of albums without putting any cash at risk.  :thumb:  )

Niel Young: Unplugged

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51tFxFB92UL._SX425_.jpg) Reprise CD

I was re-racking some CDs when this caught my eye. I have been listening to the Massey Hall album lately and thought I would compare these two. While I cannot complain about the SQ  of the Unplugged album there is just something about the Massey hall album that keep bringing me back to it as a fav.

I think it is because of two things. First although the Unplugged album is acoustic, there is still a backup band behind Neil, whereas In Massey hall is is solo Neil and there is something about the simplicity of that I draws me in. Second there is a span of twenty years between the two albums and by the time Unplugged came around Neil was a more seasoned and polished performer.

I have a whole slew of albums made by performers when they were young and fresh that are among  my favorites of that performer. I really enjoy hearing what the artist wanted to put out there,, before the stuffed shirts at the record companies started to mold them to the corporate standards of what they though would sell best. As good as Sgt Pepper is, there is still something special about the Beatles first few albums.  Listen to Billy Joel's Cold Spring Harbor or the album Jim Croce put out with his wife before he signed with ABC records. Even though the recordings may not be as good as they could have been I find something refreshing in hearing the performers raw talent.

Bottom line, Massey Hall is still my go to album for acoustic Neil.

Disney Songs the Satchmo Way

I found this earlier today when my wife sent me off to the library to pick up another DVD set of Downton Abbey for her to watch while she is recuperating.

In 1966 Walt Disney approached Louis Armstrong to record an album of classic Disney tunes. The results of that request are contained in this CD. This is just a plain fun CD and I have never heard a Disney recording that wasn't spot on from a sound quality basis.

Jim Brickman: Pure Piano & Pure Romance

(http://cps-static.rovicorp.com/3/JPG_250/MI0003/817/MI0003817596.jpg?partner=allrovi.com)


My wife is a big Jim Brickman fan and I find most of his music very relaxing so we have quite a bit of his work for Windham hill, which you can count on for good SQ.

Well these two CDs are from Greenhill productions and the sound from both of them was horribly tinny and the upper octaves were so distorted that I had to put on another CD just to convince myself that I hadn't blown out my tweeters. I cannot believe that anyone in the music business could let something like this out the door thinking, "yeah that's good."

I could not be happy enough that these last four discs came from my trip to the library last night. I have found many good discs there, but it is times like this that you are very thankful you didn't have to lay out any cash for these sinkers. (OK, the Beatles tribute and the Chris Botte were just OK, but these two Brickman discs were just junk.)

I really like Cincotti's self  titled album on Concord. A very nice collection of Jazz vocals. But with this album be has taken a wide turn out of the jazz realm and ended up doing a rock-ish album that is a bit Elton John a bit Steely Dan and a bit of I don't know what else. But the bottom line is that it just doesn't work for me and this one IMO is simply not worth the shelf space it would take to keep it. This CD is simply going back to the Crack House

Yes, that Toni Tennile (less the Captain), tries her hand at the American Songbook.

This one was actually rather well recorded although I think the orchestration is a bit overdone and gets a little overbearing at times. Very dynamic and in your face like a big Vegas show. Kind of like the Nelson Riddle Orchestra on steriods. Might be OK for a live event but on a recording it just overshadows the singer too much.

A fun Boston Pops performance, but as in most cases the sound on the Polydor releases is not up to the standard set by the RCA Living Stereo series. While  it is fairly clean there is no sense of the hall whatsoever. Sounds like it was recorded in a lifeless studio instead of the concert hall sound you get on most of the RCAs.

Enjoyable for casual listening, but not a sit down audiophile type of album.

Grover Washington Jr: Soulful Strut

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51d4FZKtswL._SY355_.jpg) Columbia CD

Here is an example of an album that just doesn't know what it wants to be. It is part retro 60s intrumental, part smooth jazz and part urban rap.  It has some good music in it but ther3e is just no flow or theme to the album. It just seems like a bunch of tracks that they had leftover from other projects and threw together to make a CD. (I have no information that this is the case, it's just a feeling that I get.

I may return to this to listen to individual tracks from time to time, but this is not a CD that I will sit down and listen to as an album from end to end.

Billy Joel: Turnstiles

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Yt-Qbya2L._SY300_.jpg)  Mobile Fidelity Half Speed Mastered LP

Something about the sound on this one is just not right to my ear. The instruments are hands down better than the CD in terms of detail and space, but the vocal track seems dryer and a bit flat as compared to the CD. It also just seems a bit off spatially to me, like it was recorded in a different space than the rest of the band, which very well may have been how it was done and this better pressing only now made that apparent.

Listened to these last two Billy Joel albums to decide whether or not I wanted to spring for the new MoFi 45 RPM pressings, and the answer was that the CBS Half speeds give me credible audiophile sound and while the 45s might be somewhat better, for as much as I play them the ones I already have are good enough. If I didn't have them at all the 45s would be getting more serious consideration, but seeing as I have already invested in decent audiophile vinyl of these albums, I think I will stay put on this one.

Laurence Juber: Under an Indigo Sky

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81L4yycBgRL._SY355_.jpg)  Solid Air 180g LP

Laurence Juber spent several years touring as the lead guitarist for Paul McCartney and Wings.

If you like acoustic guitar music do not even think twice, just buy this LP. His playing is downright amazing and the LP is dead quiet and as good as any audiophile LP I have ever owned. It was a limited press run of 500 LPs for record Store Day, Each one numbered and hand signed,  but you can still find a few copies still listed on Amazon for under $20. But don't wait to long because outside of those I saw on Amazon the rest are going for $25 all the way up to $85.

First I heard her Potions album on Tidal and thought , this is good. Then I got her Interludes album on SACD and thought hmmmm, this is real good. Now I got the Lost In Romance album on 45 RPM and all I can say is WOW! All that I read about this album is true and then some. (Makes me sorry that I ordered the SACD of Interludes instead of the vinyl.  :cry: )

No doubt a top of the pile LP.  :thumb:

(http://cps-static.rovicorp.com/3/JPG_400/MI0001/100/MI0001100484.jpg?partner=allrovi.com) Chesky Records SACD Hybrid

As one would expect from a Chesky SACD this has ver nice sound, but tend to wander a bit too much into the 20th century modern symphonic realm for my taste. Some parts are very nice and then others start to get very atonal, which is just not my thing. But it was a clearance bin find, and priced that way, so no big loss.

I found it kind of strange that although they identify the conductor and the soloists, nowhere on the case or in the booklet did I find any mention of who the orchestra is (perhaps they are just a bunch of studio musicians brought together for this recording and not a formal orchestra per se.)

This newly released set does not contain any newly recorded material, but rather is  just a compilation  of previously released music, not doubt put out there to capitalize on the release of the latest Star wars movie. I don't know if it was just poor mastering or if the original recordings were tweaked for play on iPods and phones, but the whole thing just sounds flat and restricted in space. The original soundtrack albums were much better.

At least this was just a library loan.....

I never gave too much thought to K. D. Lang until I heard the duet album she did with Tony Bennett. Saw this one at the Crack House and figured I would give it a try. Turned out to be a lot better than I expected. I will have to check out some of her other work on Tidal.

Jazz at the Pawnshop - 30th Anniversary SACD Collection

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41J8X%2BmKfDL._SX450_.jpg) Proprius 3 Hybrid SACD/1 DVD Set

This set contains all of the recordings done during the Pawnshop recording sessions on Dec 14 & 14 1976. This includes all of the music contained in the original 2 record set, as well as that which was subsequently released on Jazz at the Pawnshop Volumes 2&3 (Although on in the same order ast the records)as well as about twenty minutes that has never before been available. It also contains a DVD with some interviews done in 2006 with people involved in the making of this iconic recording.

So far I have only had the chance to compare this to  my CD copy of the original release (the AudioSource  1980s release pressed in Japan by JVC). The Redbook later of the hybrid disc is definitely significant better than the original CD. The soundstaging is much more spread out, the original sounding much more forward in comparison. It also resolves the low level details better and has a much more relaxed and natural presentation.

The SACD layer sounded constrained in width and depth compared to the Redbook layer, but I think that is more a function of the fact that the D/A and analog sections of my player are much lower quality than those of my EE DAC and not indicative of the quality differences between the two formats.

I found this on Amazon for only $30. Well worth the investment, especially since I did not have digital copies of Volumes 2&3 that could be loaded onto my iPod.

I will have to dig out the LP, but I am pretty sure I know what the results of that comparison will be.......  :nodding

Jazz at the Pawnshop

(http://assets.rootsvinylguide.com/pictures/arne-domnerus-jazz-at-the-pawnshop-vinyl-2-lp-gatefold-1977-sweden-import_10296620) Proprius 2 LP Set

So I said I would pull out this LP and compare it to the Hybrid SACD version I just picked up. Just as a point of reference, this LP is an original Swedish pressing, not the version imported by AudioSource.

Not surprisingly, the LP bested the digital disc in terms of just "realness", but what impressed me the most was how close it actually was. As an audiophile, listening on my own system I heard difference, but I dare say that many people would say they sound the same, it was that close.

I would like to hear the high res layer on a decent SACD player. My player is a Denon 2910, which while it makes a decent transport, it is still a consumer unit and as such the D/A and analog sections are not really up to audiophile standards (which never bothered me because I bought it to use as a transport only and except when playing and SACD, exclusively use is to drive my EE DAC and for that it does a nice job.) After hearing how good the redbook layer is I wonder if the SACD layer played on a high end SACD player could actually match the SQ of the LP (don't faint, I can't believe those words came out of my mouth either.  :shock: )

Branford Marsalis Trio: The Dark Keys

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51T0CFTYytL._SY355_.jpg) Columbia CD

Sorry, not my cup of tea. Very avant garde  and improvisational. Personally I like jazz that has more of a discernible melody line. Not only do I not get any kind of tune that I can follow, but for a large part of the time is sounds like the three members of the trio are not even playing the same song. Musically, it kind of reminds me of that Attention Screen concert that a bunch of us went to a few years back.

While it just annoys me, there are people who are into that kind of jazz and if you are, this is a well recorded disc, so you might want to check it out.

'I would still consider one four-minute snippet of a cappella singing on this disc, in Stanford's 'The Blue Bird,' the most hauntingly beautiful performance/recording I have ever heard. The control of this small, mixed-voice choir over all musical parameters is quite unbelievable, and this tiny record label, set up especially to record their performances, has captured the essence of their unique qualities to perfection. Friends come to my home to listen to this disc (and, subsequently, all have bought it)---to once let it go would mean never to hear it again!' - Stereophile, 1991 Records 2 Die 4.

I had to drive my son to a doctor's appointment on Friday and the Dr office just happens to be a few blocks away from Infinity Records, so......  :smile:

This is an original Japanese pressing by Victor Company of Japan. It was released As part of the RCA  Living Stereo Series in the US as LSC-2118, Offenbach in America (I guess in 1957 the war wounds in Japan were still kind of raw and putting the word America on the cover might not have been good for sales, but curiously the correct title is show on the back.  :Dunno )

As far as the pressing goes, I do not have an LP copy of this album, but it does sound nice when compared to the CD. Not as good as what I have come to expect from LSCs, but not bad by any stretch.

Rita Wilson: AM/FM

(https://resources.tidal.com/images/80af0394/a954/411a/bf0f/02972a0d1bc6/640x640.jpg) Tidal Streaming

Debut album from the actress/producer, who also happens to be Mrs.Tom Hanks.

From Rolling Stone Magazine:

"Sensuous U.S. radio hits from the Sixties and Seventies have a surprisingly able proponent in Rita Wilson, the L.A.-born actress and producer who debuts as a singer with this collection. Helped by Sheryl Crow ("Angel of the Morning," "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?"), Chris Cornell ("All I Have to Do Is Dream"), Faith Hill ("Love Has No Pride") and others, Wilson renews Watergate-era gems with an expressive denim-and-suede soprano; on "Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues," she and Jackson Browne sing a song from 1971, but the stripped-down, bossa-nova-flavored arrangement, like much of AM/FM itself, feels timeless."

And here is a link to an article from this morning's NY Times about her love for vinyl and a recent trip to Bleeker Street Records in NYC.

Kenny Burrell: The Gold Collection

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71QHKl9IkGL._SY355_.jpg) Fine Tune 24k Gold CD

This series of gold discs from Fine Tune records is very hit or miss on a SQ basis. They are 24k gold substrate CDs, but sometimes the source material is far from audiophile quality. For example some of this discs in this series contain material sources from 1940s vintage 78s. Now the music may be historically significant and worth owning, but to me it seems rather silly to go through the trouble and expense of putting music on a gold CD that is scratchy and bandwidth limited right from the start. On the plus side many of the discs are quite nice and I often see them in the dollar bins as many stores do not realize they are gold discs. For that price it is worth taking a chance.

Luckily, this turned out to be one of the good ones.  :clap

Legendary jazz pianist, Kenny Barron, returns with his renowned trio to deliver Book of Intuition, his latest album on Impulse. Alongside Kiyoshi Kitagawa on double bass and Johnathan Blake on drums, Barron presents a series of original compositions as well as a tune by one of his main influences, Thelonious Monk and his rendition of Nightfall, which serves as a tribute to its composer and Barrons close friend and collaborator, the late Charlie Haden. Barron has been nominated for a Grammy nine times, and in 2010 he became a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master. He was awarded Honorary Doctorate from Berklee College of Music and from SUNY Empire State. Book of Intuition finds Barron at the peak of his game, and Barron will be performing its songs across the world over the coming months

Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass: Whipped Cream and Other Delights

(http://cps-static.rovicorp.com/3/JPG_400/MI0001/984/MI0001984775.jpg?partner=allrovi.com) Herb Alpert Presents 180g LP

Reissued to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this iconic album. Remastered from the original analog master tapes on 180g vinyl. The sound is very good and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the album, but I was very disappointed with the cover. The cover photo is very grainy and the colors are blotchy (similar to the way photos displayed on a computer monitor back in the old days when you had the color depth set too low to accurately display continuous tones, remember 640x480x16colors? I'm dating myself, aren't I?  :roll: ) All in all the cover looks like a copy made on a cheap color Xerox machine. So much of the fame of this album came from the cover that you would think they would make sure it looked good for an anniversary release.

I have quite a few times seen an original copy of this LP in the Crack House with a pristine cover and a record that looks like somebodies cat used it for a scratching post. I guess now I will have to keep an eye out for one of those because now I have a nice sounding copy of the album and I just need a nice looking cover to go with it.

Whipped Cream and other delights - Rewhipped

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51XBRzXdK2L._SX355_.jpg) Shout CD

I saw this in the library and grabbed it, thinking it was a remastering of the classic album maybe with some unreleased out takes. Well I could not have been more wrong. What it is is a cheap techno remix. Let's put aside the fact that I think they butchered some great music, it is not even a well done techno mix. The added dance beats and bass lines seem randomly placed, and are just in addition to, not blended in with the original music. They are obviously laid over the top of the original songs and do not sound as they are even in the same acoustic space as the music, not to mention that they are not real sounds but just cheap sounding synthesized percussion sounds.

All in all this is one of the most horrible pieces of junk that I have heard in years.

Do not walk, run away from this one.

Milos Karadaglic: Blackbird - The Beatles Album

(http://resources.tidal.com/images/2d3fc25b/9d8b/4483/8249/843d7b3886c5/320x320.jpg) Tidal Streaming

Classical guitar treatment of 15 Beatle hits. Recorded in Abbey Road Studio No.2, the same one used by The Beatles for pretty much all of their recordings.

The SQ is OK, but not outstanding. This is not a reference quality guitar recording, but what it lacks in sound it more than makes up in performance and of course outstanding music. (The guitar sound itself is not bad, but the recording tends to lack the sense of space, both with respect to the room acoustics and the space around the instrument itself that I hear in "better" classical guitar recordings. However it is not bad sounding by any stretch and the lack of "great sound in no way gets in the way the music.

Not an album I would use to demo the capabilities of my system, but one that I thoroughly enjoyed listening to none the less.

But I imagine this is to cover Neil on some of the vocals that were a little out of his range both dynamically and pitch wise. However this is just a nitpicky audiophile comment and the reverb in no way diminishes my enjoyment of the album.

The album did not sell all to well and I can only assume it is because it is just not musically what hardcore Neil Young fans expected from him, but I really liked it.

Chris Botti: To Love Again

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41W2ZMQWD7L._SX425_.jpg) Columbia DualDisc

This is one of those DualDiscs that has the CD on one side and a DVD program on the other. I don't know what it is about these discs, they play fine on my car, but skip all over the place  when payed in the Denon 2910 in my main system. Last time I got one of these I had to burn a copy on my computer and play that in the Denon. Other than that, once I can get it to play, it is a nice album.

Has anyone else had trouble with this type of disc?

Eva Cassidy: Nightbird

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81rZ-WH0NSL._SY355_.jpg) Tidal Streaming

I ordered this on LP back on Jan 4th based on a listing from Elusive Disc that said it would be shipping on Jan 8th. It was offered as a 4 LP/2 CD/ 1 DVD set. Well, after having the ship date pushed out 4 times I finally get an email this weekend saying that the manufacturer had discontinued this title.  :evil:  (I can't blame the dealer as they were strung along by the importer, who kept promising deliveries that never happened, but it still pisses me off.)

But low and behold, they are now offering the LPs without the CDs nor the DVD... for the same price as the original set. I will probably order it since what I really wanted in the first place was the LPs, but it is showing a 4-6 week delivery time, so I am afraid I will be playing the same game all over again.

I found a guy on Amazon that is selling a 4 LP set out of Germany, but the listing does not state that it is 180g vinyl like the others I have seen, so I am not sure if it is the same release or some kind of bootleg copy.  But he claims to have it in stock and will ship it in 2 days.  :scratch

Decisions, decisions.   :-k

So for now I will just enjoy the music via Tidal.  8)



Update:

On a hunch to did a google search and found the original LP/CD/DVD set for sale directly from Amazon UK. Searching the US amazon site came up with nothing, but the UK warehouse has it in stock and I am getting it, including shipping for less that I was originally pay for it form the US sites. Should be in my hands on or about April 15th.

Not sure why I didn't think of this sooner.  :duh

I am on the management side of the Verizon strike, so for the last four weeks I have been out climbing poles for 12-14 hours a day, which leaves me no time for audio. just poked my head back here tonight to see what was up and am very disappointed to see that not one post has been made in this thread since I left for strike duty. Seems strange for a forum which is dedicated to a hobby that exists to facilitate the enjoyment of music ( or maybe I am just naive in thinking that.)

Perhaps I am just overtired and cranky from all the long hours, but seeing this thread go completely unused for a month makes me think that I am wasting my time posting here as nobody seems to give a crap.

Cuong Vu Trio Meets Pat Metheny, due May 6, 2016, on Nonesuch Records, joins guitarist, composer, and bandleader Pat Metheny with a trio led by longtime Pat Metheny Group trumpeter Cuong Vu. The album comprises five tunes written by Vu plus one by Metheny and one by Andrew D'Angelo.

The Cuong Vu Trio includes Stomu Takeishi on bass and Ted Poor on drums. Metheny says of his record with the Trio, "This project is something that Cuong and I have talked about doing for years. For as much as I loved what Cuong has brought to my bands along the way, I always wondered what it would be like to join his group for a project, to see what I might be able to offer those guys. Cuong came up with a great set of tunes for the project, and we all met in NYC for a few days and recorded this music quite quickly and spontaneously."

Vu, who first heard a cassette of Metheny's Travels as a teenager and credits it for leading him into a career in music, adds: "Pat came to the session and killed it, taking us to different territories. We (the Trio) assimilated his sound into ours and made music that still felt uniquely ours." The trumpeter has played with a wide range of artists, including Laurie Anderson, David Bowie, Dave Douglas, Myra Melford, Cibo Matto, and Mitchell Froom.

Great stuff :thumb:

Had a great listening session tonight.

Just got my tuner tuned up. New PS caps, some analog coupling caps and new dial lamps. Just using my old Samet 15W integrated amp. The radio station WCPE was playing their weekly "Monday Night at the Symphony" show, where they feature one symphony and play a bunch of recordings from that band.

Tonight was Pittsburg:

(http://www.arkivmusic.com/graphics/covers/naxos/large/030911271824.main.jpg)
starting with Beethoven 7th symphony, Manfred Honeck. This one was just OK, I'm used to Vanska more straight up interpretation, this is more 50s style romantic interpretation, but not bad.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51PC583lTqL.jpg)
This one was jaw dropping. The Goldmark Concerto is extremely beautiful, harmonically very sophisticated but with feeling of simplicity and intimacy. Goldmark was a trained violinist so he knew how to write for it, and knew how to make it difficult and memorable. Perlman simply vaporizes it. I've never heard a violist play like this. It might be the most technically skilled thing I have ever seen/heard any human ever do. No modern players can touch this. 1974 w/Andre Previn.

(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51dzgbOFF-L._SS280.jpg)
This Karelia is very beautiful, Maazel conducts is perfectly. So beautiful, so rich.

(http://www.arkivmusic.com/graphics/covers/naxos/large/030911272029.main.jpg)
Dvorak Rusalka Fantasy Manfred Honeck Pittsburg Symphony on Reference Recordings. Very beautiful, powerful, a prophecy of his later 9th symphony.

I adjusted my tweeter to tilt down a couple dB this weekend. What a difference it makes. I can sit and listen for hours now and music draws me in, no matter what the source. Plenty of treble to serve the music, but that extra sizzle for audiophile detailgasm is gone. What a relief. Feels like my old Legacys again!

Rich, What did you think of the sonics on the Reference Recordings disc? The Fresh series is kind of a budget line for RR. I have not heard any of the classical releases yet, but I did hear two of the blues albums and found the SQ to be a bit disappointing compare to the full freight RR albums. Not that it was bad, but it was just not up to the level of sonic excellence I had come to expect from Prof Johnson and company.

Got this LP recently:

(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51NPviOpvdL._SY355_.jpg)

http://www.linnrecords.com/recording-chopin-preludes.aspx

http://www.gramophone.co.uk/review/chopin-preludes-4

The playing is great - emotional, powerful, passionate. Recording is great, lots of space, excellent dynamics. Great piano tone, good acoustics. Lots of groove wind noise at the beginning of side A but it fades away toward the end of the side, but the clicks and pops start off slow and increase gradually to the end of the side. The 2nd side has much less noise, and even more dynamic playing.

The package includes a 2 sided, full color insert page with liner notes on one side and a blurry, b&w picture of the artist from the neck down running through a field of hay in her black lace gown.  But of even greater value than is a plastic card with an ID number allowing me to download the CD quality digital version of this record for free. Yeeha!

It's a heavy hifi disc, but after cleaning I noticed the record has a slight dish in it, but doesn't seem to affect playback.

Finally getting around to listening to this stack of CDs from Arkive. I forgot that I bought them for my birthday presents. duh.

The audio quality seems to be typical RR, clean, clear, big, open, spacious. Well balanced with ample bottom end. Very wide dynamics.  Performance is aggressive and powerful.

My little speakers not really up to this. :(

Stephen Paulus, American composer, won posthumous Grammy award for best classical composition for "Prayers and Rememberances" on this new Reference Recordings CD. I think it is dedicated to 9/11 victims?

Sunday nights 6-9PM the classical station has a show called "Preview" where they play only new recordings released in the last year. It is streamed, so you can listen in and find some new records. wcpe.org 

They played the song, "I have called you by name," OMG heavy.

I bought it from ArkivMusik.com, along with another CD of his from Naxos, for which he won another grammy for organ concerto and other compositions.

If you go for religious choral music you don't want to miss this one on RR.

Another Sunday evening, another episode of "Preview" on WCPE.... this week my mind is blown by this rendition of Schumann's Kreisleriana, Op. 16, a solo piano work. 8 movements of pure bliss. This is one of the best recorded pianos I've ever heard. Incredible deep bass, played softly and slowly. Played very tenderly and insightfully on this very intimate piece by American pianist Nicholas Angelich.

A "Gramophone Choice" recording, whatever that means.

From ArkivMusik notes:
"One of the most respected pianists of his generation, American Nicholas Angelich has a firm reputation as a soloist and chamber musician. Having made his concerto debut at the age of seven, he went on to study at the Paris Conservatoire with such renowned artists as Aldo Ciccolini, Yvonne Loriod, and Michel Beroff. He is a laureate of Casadesus and Gina Bachauer International Piano Competitions, as well as a recipient of the Schallplatten Prize and the Young Talent Award at the International Klavierfestival Ruhr, blablabla

"As the title suggests his the repertoire Angelich has selected comes full circle, by way of dedications from and to three of the 19th century’s greatest pianist/composers – Schumann’s Kreisleriana dedicated to Chopin, two of Chopin’s Op.10 Etudes dedicated to Liszt, and Liszt’s B minor Piano Sonata dedicated to Schumann."

My Dad (Richard Sr.) passed a few months ago. I picked up his last small stack of LPs from Mom's a couple weekends ago.  This is one of his favorites of all time. I cleaned it and played it during dinner tonight. My son (Richard 3rd) was home from school tonight for dinner. I told them this was Grandpa's favorite record. "Oh that's nice..." not really their cup of tea.

We couldn't go this year because the date conflicted with getting our daughter back to college so we are doing the next best thing and listening to the show live while she finishes her last minute packing.  :beer:

Stokowski: Rhapsodies - Symphony of the Air

Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue - Fiedler/Boston Pops

A friend of mine found a good deal on the RCA Living Stereo 60 CD box set and asked me if I knew how the SQ of that set compared to other available releases in the Living Stereo series.  I had purchased the set as a gift for my mother  and ended up getting it back when she moved int the nursing home and since I also had both the original CD release and copies of the SACD Hybrid discs of both of these albums I thought IO would sit down and do some critical comparisons among the versions.

I was very surprised at how much better the box set CD sound when compared to the original releases. The originals sounded very muddy and cluttered in comparison. The detail on the box set discs was much clearer and the lateral soundstage much better defined.

That said, listening to the CD layer of the hybrid SACDs brought the SQ up even another notch further. On the SACD the spacial cues were much clearer and the sound stage much more three dimensional. In addition to projecting more depth in the stage the hybrid disc also gave each instrument a much more realistic sense of existing in its own space. In general just a more realistic presentation.

In terms of the magnitude of these difference I think even a casual listener would easily here the difference between the original and the box set discs. The differences between the box set and the SACD were more subtle and while they would be fairly easily pick up by and audiophile listening on a decent quality system, I not sure if they would be so apparent to John Q. Public who A) would most likely be listening on a lower resolution mass market type system and B) would not have the trained ear of an audiophile, who is used to listening for these types of attributes.

And lastly, this phenomenon of the CD layer of a hybrid disc sounding better than a single layer CD pressing of the same album has occurred in every comparison I have made cutting across classical jazz and rock albums. I am not sure if it has something to do with the physical media and how it is made or with the mastering process for SACD releases, but I have yet to find a case where it did not hold true. Anybody have any thoughts as to why this may be?

This infotisement pdf says that the CD layer on SACD can sound better than traditional CDs.

http://www.muszeroldal.hu/assistance/SACD1.pdf

Two different discs are likely mastered differently anyway. Even the SACD stereo layer and the CD layer on the same hybrid disc come from different digital "masters," which may only differ by sample rate and bit depth, or they may be truly different mix/masters in the traditional sense.

This thread (https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,99765.0.html) mentions a dsotm SACD where the CD layer has much more dynamic compression than the SACD layer. I know you collect DSOTMs, maybe you have that SACD?
Title: Re: What are you listening to right now?
Post by: tmazz on September 01, 2016, 10:49:20 PM
Do I have the DSOTM SACD????? Did you really have to ask?  :rofl:

However, I never listen to the SACD layers of any of my hybrid discs because they sound markedly inferior to the CD layer. Not because of any intrinsic defect in the SACD format, but rather because of my equipment. I use a Denon 2910 universal DVD player as a transport, which does a nice job passing off a digital signal to my EE DAC for D/A processing. But because of copy protection concerns the SACD format does not allow the outputting of a digital signal for external processing. This means that in order to play the SACD layer of a disc I must use the analog outputs of my Denon analog with the cheap opamp driven analog section that it contains. While an SACD played via these outputs sounds better than the CD layer played through those same analog outputs it cannot keep up with the sound quality of the CD layer played via the external DAC. Any again that might come from the higher bit rate file is more than lost  by pushing through the inferior hardware. If I had a big buck SACD player I am sure it would be a different story, but given the equipment I am living with right now, I never use the SACD layer of  of Hybrid discs. (and quite honestly with the small amount of SACD software that is out there IMO it just would not be worth it for me to spend several thousand dollars on a top shelf SACD player just so I could make 2 or 3 dozens discs sound better.

But I do find it interesting that without exception every case where I have both hybrid disc and a matching CD only pressing The CD layer of the hybrid disc sounds better that the CD only disc when both are played via the external DAC.

As an engineer I am somewhat curious as to why this is, but quite frankly as a music lover I really don't care I am just happy to take advantage of the better sound.

She deserves it and I will take it. This is what we have all been waiting for. Great job Norah, keep it up



One of music s most beautiful and critically acclaimed voices returns with a new studio album that finds her returning to her jazz roots. DAY BREAKS proves Norah to be this era s quintessential American artist, the purveyor of an unmistakably unique sound that weaves together the threads of several bedrock styles of American music: country, folk, rock, soul, jazz. The album is a kindred spirit to Norah s GRAMMY winning debut COME AWAY WITH ME, though it is unquestionably the work of a mature artist who has lived and grown immensely in her craft

Thanks for the heads up on this. I ordered the Target Exclusive that has the extra tracks a long with the vinyl record. I'll be on the lookout for the SACD. I wonder who did the production of Day Breaks. I haven't had a chance to look yet. Danger Mouse did production on the 2012 album which I found ok. There was a little bit of a electronic feel to it IMO. When I heard tracks from that album live with live drumming the songs sounded more organic.

Thanks again.

Taking a break from Nora Jones Day Breaks due to my older daughter constantly playing SIA songs on youtube. They just get stuck in my head. I have no idea what she means to convey in the videos but visually they are nice and artsy. Weird enough and not too far out there.

Enjoy and hopefully you don't get these songs stuck in your head for hours.

This  afternoon my son brought my 3 week old grandson over to my house for the first time.

So I did what any self respecting Vampire would do in that situation. I sat the kid down in his father's lap in the sweet spot and oversaw his first experiencing of DSOTM (The 30th Anniversary LP, of course).   :clap:

Hey, I feel an absolute moral obligation for the cultural upbringing of this child.  :cool: 

He was kind of fussy when we brought him into the living room but sat there quiet as a church mouse once the stylus hit the vinyl. In the middle of the last track on the A side my wife called me into the kitchen to get something from one of the upper shelves for her and just as the song ended, the baby started to cry. And damned if he didn't settle down as soon as I flipped the record.   :shock:

Looks like the kid's a chip off the old block.  :thumb:

Heard this on the radio last week. I love Respighi, he is very clever and innovative. He has the special rare gift of melody, like Grieg, Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky, Chet Baker, Paul McCartney, etc. These suites are written in 20th century in modern harmonic style to mimic ancient music styles. It's not as sarcastic as Prokofiev's 1st Symphony designed to rub in his fearful traditionalist critics' faces his ability to compose in the traditional classical style while choosing not to. This is more genuine, a reverence for the old ways, longing for the simplicity of the old forms, while constructing them with modern technique and "latest composite materials."



Respighi's Ancient Airs & Dances Suites 1 and 3 are very popular recordings, but Suite 2 is not very common. It has 3 slow (boring) movements, and one faster movement that is played by itself a lot on radio.

(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81J3nkhUZBL._SY355_.jpg)

I first got the DG recording of Orpheus Chamber Orchestra playing suites 1 & 3 and other Respighi chamber works a decade ago. They skipped Suite 2, but this is a truly magnificent audiophile recording. Everyone I've given it to raves about the sound of it, the lively performances and the intense instrumental timbres. I craved hearing the 2nd suite with that same level of performance and recording quality.

So I bought the Mercury Presence version of Ancient Airs and Dances with Antal Dorati. It has all three suites, but I only listened to it once and forgot about it.

This one on EMI Angel has Neville Marriner conducting  LA Chamber Orchestra on all three suites. I only heard the (whole) 2nd suite on the radio but it was really awesome. Recorded 1976, it doesn't have the shimmering edgy timbre like the Orpheus recording, but the performance is great.

The band that 'should have made it" in the '60s. Unfortunately they had Bob Katz for a producer and two bi-polar schizophrenics that were incredibly talented, but just nuts.  Jerry Miller is still one of my favorite obscure guitarists along with Jim Messina.  Ah, youth!

Well this thread is starting to pick up traction again, not only in the number of posts, but in the fact that folks are actually reading and responding to posts, so I think it is time for me to jump in again, starting with one of my best recent finds.....

Coleman Hawkins Encounters Ben Webster

(http://is2.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music49/v4/a4/2a/be/a42abe5e-b5d1-d239-65ec-4bb44dbae41a/source/1200x630bb.jpg)   Classic Records 180g Test Pressing LP

This RTI test pressing came from the estate of Harry Pearson. So this is a genuine piece of audiophile history.

(http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/~7oAAOSwIQdZK1wI/s-l500.jpg)
(http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/2WcAAOSww5hZK1wj/s-l500.jpg)

But besides being historical this pressing in and of itself is a hands down a top of the pile LP. As a test pressing it is one of the first 20 copies off the production line . I don't know how much of an effect that actually has on the sound, but regardless this is a dead quiet pressing with just superb sonics.

And it is Ben Webster, so not much more needs to be said about the music.   (http://daveyw.freeforums.org/images/smilies/sax.gif)

Outside of the break in the middle where Mother nature decided to dump about 2 inches of rain on us in 15 minutes, we had a ball. (As soon as I felt the first few drops I made a beeline to some empty seats that were under an overhang, so we got to keep relatively dry.  :thumb )

The band waited out the storm and then returned and put of an great second half. You could tell they really appreciated and were charge up by the fact that most everybody stuck it out and weathered the storm.

The only thing that bothered me a bit was that the vocal mics were very dry, with virtually no reverb in them. While at 70+ they guys could have used a little bit of the cover that reverb would have provided their vocals, that was not the real problem. The dry vocals were just not true to the way the original recordings were done. If you listen to songs like Tuesday Afternoon or Nights in White Satin, the vocals had a kind of phasey echoy sound to them. This dry vocals changed the songs not so much from a SQ point of view but more from an artistic point of view as it changed the feel of the song. I'm not sure why they did it that was , especially since it could have been fixed with the twist of a dial.

I still enjoyed the show and I know this is kind of a nit picky thing, but picking nits is what we do here.  8)

Yes,
Hold two buttons on my iPad to take the pic and then manipulate in photos. Rich, what I don't know is why it displays as a small pic, then will enlarge when I double tap.  My Mac desktop gives me a lot more flexibility. But hey, it's a good start!

I was testing this and made a few attempts last night. Nothing happened on preview and then I made an attempt to post. At first when I tried it, nothing happened. I then tried some more and if i waited a bit, an error message appeared and stated that I exceeded the 500 kb limit.

Based on some more tests today, the 500 kb limit provides very good quality. So I don't think it's the limit we have in place, rather the ability to easily edit a pic to make it fit. Increasing the kb limit equals more cost for forum storage down the road. 

I'm just getting a handle on this, but that's how I see it right now. If I'm way off base, please feel free  to let me know. The feedback would be appreciated
Thanks,
Nick

PS Dave,
Can you advise what device(s) you use to take pics and if you've tried editing?

Another Boston bebop trumpeter. My mentor and friend Alan Dawson, also from Boston, used to jam with Joe Gordon, said they had so much fun together, never needed bass or piano. Joe died years later while sleeping alone in an abandoned house in L.A. that "caught on fire."

Reminds me of my Chet Baker autograph, signed in 1981. It reads, "Richard, you picked a hard way to go. Good Luck, Chet Baker"

Early jazzy happy Maynard with west coast buddies from Kenton's band, with gorgeous writing by Willie Maiden. This is the earliest album I remember getting "fully immersed" in, probably age 10. Record changer set to repeat, hour after hour, year after year. Maynard played my junior high school in 78 on the "Rocky" tour (Conquistador.) Peter Erskine was on drums, he broke a stick on his solo, I climbed up on the stage after the concert to get the tip. My brother toured with Maynard one summer on Big Bop Nouveau tour.

Edit: One little trivia few people know, Wayne Shorter was playing with Maynard's band at a summer festival when Lee Morgan invited him to join Art Blakey.

Rich if you're looking to try something diff. I'd like to suggest Mr. Ridgway. I only discovered him last year and this has become one of my desert island discs. 

It's available on Spotify and my hope is you'll enjoy it as much as I do.

Dave,
As you know, I'm an all Mac guy and I'm on my iPad 98% of the time. The easiest way to accomplish this imo is to be able to choose the quality when taking the photo or being able to choose the file size or the number of pixels. I've been looking for an app to do that, but have yet to find a satisfactory  one. You can do some resizing within the iPad after taking the photo. You would look for the arrows at the top right (next to' "details") and then look for a "square" icon on the bottom. That would allow you to take your finger and push the corners to resize. It's not a very good method. If you are on photos on a mac laptop or desktop, tthat would be much easier and give you more options
I don't do it because I'm comfy in my listening room and it's a pita for me to go to another room to get on my iMac and post. I'm going to continue to look for that good photo app for the iPad
Nick

Sorry for the back up in posts, but It was a very busy weekend. the logic board on my garage door opener bought the farm and given the cost of the replacement part it just made sense to replace the old noisy unit with a new quiet one (which ended up coming with a lifetime warranty) so I spent most of the weekend working in the garage on the installation and a bunch of other projects that had been on the back burner for a while, of course with music going the whole time.   8)

Now that I'm done, it's time to catch up with my posts (sorry Evan  :lol:).......

Over the past few weeks Tidal has released quite a few additions to their MQA "Masters" catalog, including a bunch of 50s and early 60s jazz titles from  Blue Note, verve etc. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come..  :thumb:

Went with my son last night to see the NY stop on the Roger Waters Us and Them Tour.

Without a doubt a first class multimedia spectacular. (I would expect nothing less from Roger Waters )

The show ended the band playing Brain Damage and Eclipse while encased in a huge 3D laser rendering of the iconic DSOTM pryamid.

Do not miss this one if it comes your way.

Edit: Classic acoustic Neil, which I personally like so much better than his electric stuff. Stylistically in the same vein as Harvest.
I'm really liking' this one.

I did not notice when I first cued this this up, but this is actually a Tidal Masters MQA encoded album, which does not surprise me as Neil Young has always been very particular about SQ and has always looked to whatever new technologies would get the best sound out to his fans. If you remember, he was also one of the first major artists to jump on the HDCD process when it was introduced by Keith Johnson.

I just saw the Classic Records pressing of this album go for well over $100 on ebay. SO when I saw it listed on Tidal I had to give is a listen.

Well it must be some kind of collectable thing, because the album is alright, but not something that I would even go out of my way to get, never mind pay big bucks for. But that's just me. Obviously somebody thought it was something special.

Then again, the person who bought it would probably think I was out of my mind for accumulation 32 different versions of DSOTM. :roll:  (And the would probably be right. :lol:)

To each his own.......

Edit: OK the album did kind of grow on me as it played further into it, but still not to the point where I am going run out and look all over to find a copy.

Just released this morning.  Very well done album musically. So far I have only listened to to through headphones at work, but if the SQ on the big system sounds as good as it does in the cans, this one will see some heavy rotation.

Louis Armstrong and His Friends
(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51Qod0gredL._SY355_.jpg)  Bluebird CD

Not the best album sonically or musically (although it is not bad in either case), but it is significant as the recording session that produced it would end up being the last time Satchmo was in the studio before his death.

Another Peter for my collection. I was kind of disappointed in Stings performance as the Narrator. His reading was kind of flat. I had hoped he would be a little more animated.

OK, two tracks into it and I just could not take it anymore. The sonics on the Tidal version were just dreadful. Most of the time Tidal is more than good enough when I am working and cueing up a few albums in a row allows me to avoid jumping up and down t flip sides,but this was just not one of those situations. Sometimes a man has to do what a man has to do. Time to fire up the TT.

John Kay & Steppenwolf: Wolftracks

(https://www.amoeba.com/sized-images/max/500/500/uploads/albums/covers/other//JohnKayandSteppenwolf_Wolftracks.jpg)  Nautilus SuperDisc LP

I was rummaging around the shelf with my 80s vintage audiophile LPs and came across this, which hasn't seen the light of day for years (decades?). I am sure I picked it up during the great vinyl purge of the late 80s when audiophile albums could be had for $2 or $3 as stores dump their vinyl stock to make room for the new "perfect sound forever" discs.

Well I was certainly surprised when the diamond hit the vinyl. This is not the hard charging rock I expected from a Steppenwolf album. It sounds more like some Blood Sweat and Tears pop, without the horns. Not that it is all that bad, it is just nowhere near what I expected.

Sweet Thunder was an small audiophile label from the early 80s. They only put out little over a dozen reissues, but everything I have heard from them was very good sounding.

Musically this album is typical Greg Lake power guitar. 'Nuff said.  :thumb:

Every once in a while you come across something on the shelf and wonder "why haven't I listened to this one for so long?" And then you put it on and immediately know why it had been collecting dust. This was one of those situations.

This album has been on the TAS Superdisc list for as long as I can remember, and I have no idea why. The sonics are OK, but nothing that I would consider outstanding and the music itself is just plain weird. Harry must have seen something in it, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what. Oh well, to each his own

The Woody Herman Band: Chick, Donald, Walter and Woodrow

(http://assets.rootsvinylguide.com/pictures/the-woody-herman-band-chick-donald-walter-woodrow-lp_4340256)  Century Records Direct to Disc LP

One side of this album contains Chick Corea music while the other is songs from Steely Dan. It drove me crazy until I realized that the labels were pasted on the wrong sides.  :roll:

If you ever come across one of these LPs be aware that it was released both as a direct to disc LP and a standard LP mastered from tape. And the covers are exactly the same. The only way to know the difference is to look at the label. The Century Records Logo is inside the top half of a circle. If the LP you are looking at is the D2D version the words "Limited edition direct to disc recording" will appear in the bottom half of the circle. If the bottom of the circle is blank (as it is in the attached photo) they the LP in your hand was made from a tape backup master.

I ripped this to a FLAC file from a YouTube video. As such the SQ is not stellar, but I find it enjoyable from a musical standpoint and the SQ is good enough for that.

Below is a link tot he original YouTube video if anyone is interested.

One of my favorite versions of 'The Planets.' Chicago Symphony, James Levine conducting.

Huge and Awesomely Powerful Mars movement!

It is that time of the year, and she who must be obeyed has for the most part taken over control of the musical selections. So I will be relegated to mostly Holiday music for the next couple of weeks. In all fairness, she pretty much lets me have free reign over what gets played in the house for the rest of the years, so I can give in for two weeks. (Happy wife, happy life.)
And so long as it is holiday music, I get a pretty wide berth as to exactly what is played, so it is not all that bad.

I have lest my posting fall by the wayside over the past week as we have been decorating the house with the music going and I couldn't really stopp and post  as we went from album to album, so here it comes.......

"Billboard Hot 100" on Tidal.  Thought it would be fun to catch up on the latest pop hits!  :D

Oh, God help me! :shock:   It is so much worse than I thought, much worse than ever before, even 1990s.

Of the top 25 I only made it all the way through 2 of them. Most I skipped within first 10 seconds, some within 2 seconds. #13 is so horrifying I was like a deer staring in the headlights. That's the hook, revolting moral assault. Cultural shock and awe. Most kids aren't wise enough to reject it. They feel the adrenaline and they get stuck.

If our kids take this shit to heart we are in deep doo doo.

My wife and I were talking about this subject yesterday and she mentioned a song being performed on tv and how utterly repetitive it was. You also mentioned the word “hook” and I recall Lionel Ritchie mentioning that word years ago as he felt it was a very important criteria for a hit song.
Although I’m not a classical music aficionado, I can certainly appreciate why people listen to it.

"Billboard Hot 100" on Tidal.  Thought it would be fun to catch up on the latest pop hits!  :D

Oh, God help me! :shock:   It is so much worse than I thought, much worse than ever before, even 1990s.

Of the top 25 I only made it all the way through 2 of them. Most I skipped within first 10 seconds, some within 2 seconds. #13 is so horrifying I was like a deer staring in the headlights. That's the hook, revolting moral assault. Cultural shock and awe. Most kids aren't wise enough to reject it. They feel the adrenaline and they get stuck.

If our kids take this shit to heart we are in deep doo doo.

What was the worst offender? Or was there hardly any difference?

My wife and I were talking about this subject yesterday and she mentioned a song being performed on tv and how utterly repetitive it was. You also mentioned the word “hook” and I recall Lionel Ritchie mentioning that word years ago as he felt it was a very important criteria for a hit song.
Although I’m not a classical music aficionado, I can certainly appreciate why people listen to it.

Nick, I think this is the reason, partly anyway. The so-called Miillennial Whoop" that repeats patterns of the 3rd and 5th major scale notes   I didn't even know they had a term for it.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennial_whoop (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennial_whoop).

It's bad enough that pop music lyrics nowadays is so vacuous, shallow, and repetitive, the form and structure are just samples of samples and are utterly devoid of any musical development or dynamics. It is always the lowest common denominator, most brainless, easiest to access, and "repetitive hook' within the first few seconds. Not that young kids listen to music anyway - It is always just background music while surfing, gaming, or consuming or creating social media. 

And I don't think it is just me being from an "older generation." I've listened to a lot of horrible music in my time (e.g.  punk, heavy metal, j-pop [!]) , but at least there was a semblance of originality.

So last night Meredith and I lit the fireplace, opened a bottle of wine and sat down in front of the stereo to listen to the Speakers Corner pressing of the Ansermet Nutcracker LPs.

(https://admin.abc.sm/upload/4952/catalogodinamico/prodotti/img_634866_181429LP055.jpg)

As someone who has been involved in many productions of the Nutcracker as a dancer, a choreographer and a ballet teacher she was very interested in hearing it.

Well the first comment that came out of Mrs "Are you purposely trying to make yourself deaf with that thing" was "this sounds really good, can you turn it up?"

She really enjoyed the album and was very impressed with the increased SQ she heard when I played her some of the same music from the Classic pressing of The Royal Ballet Gala.

After The Nutcracker I put on the Reiner Pictures.

A few minutes into the first side there was a single Pop. Meredith immediately turned to me and said "Did you hear that? You better go downstairs and clean that record."

I think I may have created a monster....... 😀

My daughter the ballet dancer rehearses Nucracker performance every day of every fall for the last decade. This year she had 5 parts, so she was in every rehearsal. Nutcracker music is forbidden to be played in this house.

So, instead, (while waiting for Mariah Carey redemption performance)

Not bad. Thank God JayZ passed on the superbowl! Doesn't have the balls or business instinct of his own wife.

I was playing Rush 'Chronicles' as loud as I could comfortably listen before this, but when this started I grabbed in the remote in a panic, at least twice as loud! Shows how much more compression is on the modern recordings. This album is hitting as people zoom in on him for his Superbowl performance. 6 songs on the charts today, that's impressive these days. It's far more interesting than Taylor Swift or Lady Gaga or Adele's latest, but it's still pretty 2 dimensional, musically speaking. His voice is still small and there's no sincerity or "there" there, but what pop does anymore? Surprisingly, this album lacks that edgy mp3 sound heard on most all other pop CDs. SQ is smooth and listenable tho the dance punch (and bland melodies) get annoying quickly.

Beethoven: Sonata in C Minor - James Boyk, Piano

(https://www.popsike.com/pix/20120125/390384941045.jpg)  Performance Recordings LP

I bought this because I had previous experience with Performance records and audiophile label that was around in the late 70s, early 80s. Put it on the turntable and I was horrified. Although it looked good visually, this LP had more snaps crackles an pops than a whole case of Rice Krispies.  :roll:

I was not about to stand for that. So off we went to the record triage center and after half a minute under the steam cleaner I am happy to report that this one is now quieter than a church mouse.

This album of Mozart Violin Concertos is audiophile quality recording. Very dynamic, detailed, you can hear deep into the tone of the violin. Strong bass, excellent reverberation. Performance is sweet and inspired, great tempos.

Just ordered this one from the library. Should be in by the end of the week.

Looking forward to hearing it.

Thanks Rich.  :thumb:


Finally getting around to listening to this. Very nice.  :clap:

The Best of the Grateful Dead (Live)

(https://resources.tidal.com/images/6b7d827b/ebae/4596/add3/16c87a5e455e/320x320.jpg?cors)  Tidal Masters


I was kind of disappointed in the SQ of this album. You would think with the bizillions of concert recordings of the Dead that are out there they would have been able to put together an album of all good sounding ones.

It's not that it is particularly bad, just that is it not all that good either, just kind of blah average sound. I guess I just expected more since it was an MQA release.

Sometimes it is all about managing customer expectations......

Last Sunday I was given the "privilege" of helping my wife chaperone a field trip of 12 of her dance students to a performance by the Russian National Ballet Company of Adolphe Adam's "Giselle". Last year we went to see the same company do Swan Lake and I was looking forward to hearing some live orchestral music from some prime orchestra seats. When we got there not only was it recorded, not live music (I probably should have guessed that since the tickets were only $35), but it was a dreadful recording. It sounded like it was being played through a boom box with a mic stuck in front of it.


So I was not really looking forward to going this year, but sometimes you just have to do what you have to do. But surprisingly enough, this years sound was actually quite good. It looked like all the same sound system equipment (of course I noticed ) so the difference had to be that they just used a much better sounding recording this year.


I earned big hero points with the Mrs for helping out and got to listen to some nice music in the process. in spite of my fears, it turned out to be a decent afternoon.

In spite of Tidal saying that this was released on Blix Street Records last December, I cannot find any mention anywhere about physical media copies of this album. From what I can see the only places it can be found are on Tidal, iTunes, Spotify and Amazon Streaming. It is not even mentioned on the Blix Street web site.

I sure hope this is not a glimpse of the future........

Jacintha: Fire and Rain

(http://www.elusivedisc.com/images/GRVSA1099-Large.jpg)  Groove Note Hybrid SACD

From Elusive Disc:

"Jacintha's first new album since 2007 features a fabulous selection of hits from the James Taylor catalogue including: You've Got A Friend, Sweet Baby James, Walking Man, Fire & Rain, Shower The People and several other popular choices. Jacintha's first popular vocal album represents a striking change of pace from this Singaporean audiophile favorite.

Several of the best LA-based musicians associated with James Taylor during his lengthy and stellar career appear on this album: Lee Sklar (bass), Russ Kunkel (drums), Jim Cox (keyboards & currently touring with JT), and Dean Parks (acoustic guitar & currently touring with JT). All songs are arranged by Tim Pierce (Vanessa Use Me and Vanessa When The Levee Breaks) who also plays acoustic guitar on several tracks"

My new favorite Beethoven Piano album. Pretty much all the solo piano music on 12 discs.

Unbound is an apt title as he does not conform to the traditional emotionally constricted "correct interpretation" that so many young piano robot zombies play nowadays. It is refreshing and fun, technically thrilling. A little light on the darker passages that others like Brendel can dig deeper. It's a relief to hear Sonata 20 played like the child exercise it was intended. The recording sounds absolutely enormous, big round full tone, dynamic, big ass low register, with perfect amount of compression. Live audiences are silent until they explode at the end.  Heard it on my local FM radio station tonight. Sounds even better from Tidal.

My wife was singing the opening theme of this today while we showed our daughter how to march heel to knee on a walk in the woods. She didn't know what the melody was from but it popped into her head.

This one of my favorite versions, Bernstein with NYP. Bold and brash! The tape hiss is a little annoying, but the performance is great.

A collection of various live performances going all the way back to the late 60s. I get very nervous when I see these kind of collection of "lost" concert performances. I always feel that if they were really that good they never would have been lost in the first place.


Well this was one of those cases. I can't really speak to much to the SQ because I played it via Tidal through a Bose Bluetooth speaker, but even through that it was not anything to write home about, Not all that bad, but nothing special either.But that in the end really didn't matter to me because the performances didn't do much for me either


Nothing eye opening here. Just a chance to try and cash in on some old tapes that were laying around the vault. Glad I found this one in Tidal and did not have to lay out any $s to hear it.

Nice music and an excellent recording as well.

The music is a ballet adaptation of a Gilbert & Sullivan Operetta.
So a TAS recording for me and ballet music for my wife. This one was a win-win.  ;)

That's one of the things about Tidal, when you play an album, right under the track list they show all of the other albums that Tidal has from that same artist. So it is real easy to go binge listening by just picking off albums that you never heard or haven't listened to for a long time.

I had this CD in a domestic US pressing, but I saw this yesterday for only $4 and thought I would roll the dice.

Definitely a good move as the Japanese pressing provides a noticeable improvement in SQ.  Not an eye opening huge improvement, but without a doubt four dollar's worth.

Harry James lived in the South Shore of MA when I was growing up in MA. He brought his trumpet for repair to the music store in Quincy, MA where I took my private lessons. One time, my teacher, Leon Merian brought James' trumpet down from the shop upstairs to show me. It was gold plated with jewels embedded into the bell. He wouldn't let me hold it or play it, as I was only 12.

Tromboner from Maria Schneider Orchestra, the best I've ever heard. Faster than Curtis Fuller and a lot more to say. Better tone than Frank Rosolino. Higher range than Al Grey. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound and catch a freight train in his teeth.

Great modern harmony arrangements, real jazz. Audiophile quality recording.

Also older Quartet CD: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B000981A3O

Both are on Tidal.

This is the first truly hi-rez album of Clifford Brown that I have seen. On Tidal, MQA 24/96.

And it actually sounds like a real high res mastering! Lots of trumpet tone texture that I've never heard before, including on my original 70s pressed LPs of these tracks. Dynamic range is dramatically better than my vinyl. That's nice to have with Art Blakey on drums, and Brownie on trumpet! The remastered bass is not excessive, it is informed and respectful of the bebop genre. This is an excellent mastering job.

This recording has Brownie just back from Europe with Lionel Hampton Big Band. He is a new star in America due to the release of Art Blakey "Night at Birdland" while he was away. No Larue, no Max. This recording has his friend Gigi Gryce just like his Paris sextet recording, but it takes it up a notch with Blakey and a premier NY rhythm section. Rouse would later become Monk's front man.

Rich, what DAC are you using to get the MQA decoded all the way out to 24/192?

I am using the Bluesound Node to decode the MQA files which since it is using software MQA decoding puts out a Max resoulution of 24/96, which is very good in and of itself. To get anything higher than that I would need to pass the raw MQA file directly to a DAC with built in hardware MQA circuitry.

Resurrecting my son's VPI HW-19 Jr to be used in a second system at the AudioSyndrome meeting this weekend and have spent the past few days spinning LPs on it to shake the cobwebs off as it has been boxed up since we moved ti the new house 4 years ago.

One side benefit to this project is it has given me the chance to spin a bunch of Sinatra/Reprise albums that I picked up a while back but never seemed to get around to playing.

The other audiophile in Abilene sent his Hamton Hawe collection home with me to run through my ultrasonic cleaner.  Been doing an extended session listening about a half dozen of his lp's.  Great tuneful jazz piano... Hampton artfully improvises, but never leaves the tune in too much doubt.  I hear of lot of his sound in Oscar Peterson.

I love this Prokofiev Flute Sonata. Her circular breathing is amazing.
Piano accompaniment disappears behind her.

BIS is one of the great audiophile sound quality labels.

Persichetti is one of my favorite composers. These are the first compositions of his that I heard, back in the 80s on an easy listening type classical radio station in Boston. This is the CD they played:
(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41XESQ3ND9L.jpg)

I need to rerip that into my NAS so I can listen to it again. It totally blows away this stiff and mechanical performance of Mr. Lewis. But it's still nice to hear the melodies and harmonies again. This music (if you can call it that) will drive any normal audiophile out of the room in seconds, guaranteed!  Metallic twang, abundant dissonance, the endless repetitive DIN of modern atonal classical music. Ahhhhhh, so gooood..

I saw this in the 50 cent classical bin at Platter Puss and thought I would give it a try.

I'm not sure why, but this recording did absolutely nothing to draw me into the music. It was bad per se, just kind of unemotional. Not something that I see myself listening to again, so off to the crack house with this one.

New from Paul Lewis. Grammophone Editor's Choice, that's usually a good recco. He is very intellectual player, sometimes I prefer other players to his, but I don't listen to Haydn so I don't know any better for this one!  :lol:    But it's very musical and interesting despite all the thinking. The recording is fantastic. Big, rich, cleanly recorded grand piano in a big space.

.....  or free on Tidal.  :thumb:

At least for as long as that lasts given their current problems.  :roll:

But that aside there is one downside to Tidal that I have started to see, entries into their library are not necessarily permanent. I have come across several albums that I saved to my favorites list a while back that  gave me not available messages when clicked on recently. I'm not sure if this is related to some labels pulling their music from the services do to non payment issues or just a periodic thinning of the herd, but either way it seems that if you find something on Tidal that you really like I might not be a bad idea to buy a copy to insure long term access to it.

Just another reason why I only use Tidal to supplement my collection and not as my primary source of music.

All that said, thanks for the heads up Rich, I tagged this one as a Favorite in Tidal and put it on my to be checked out list.

I used to get that 'not available' thing from Tidal also, even inside of Roon. But I'm not sure it's because the recording is removed. There's no good reason to remove tracks from Tidal (besides they haven't paid royalties in 6 months.) I think I read something about the problem in a Roon support forum post, but I don't remember what it said. Probably something useful like "Reboot your Windows and try again when the weather changes." Hopefully your favorites come back Tom!

Listening to the RR this morning. The recording quality is great in RR tradition, but there is too much church reverb, and the music itself isn't really all that interesting, even by religious choral music standards, imo.  ymmv
Title: Re: What are you listening to right now?
Post by: tmazz on May 19, 2018, 07:52:49 AM
I was getting the not found messages even withing the Tidal desktop app itself, so it is not a Roon thing.

It started before the news about non payment of royalties came out, so at the time I was wondering it Tidal did not occasionally analyze the the demand for the albums in its library and delete things that did not get play. While server space is getting cheaper over time, it is not unlimited, nor is it free and I would think over time they will have to trim out the dead wood. Of course they can start right now by eliminating multiple versions of the same album. I can't tell you how many times I have found 8 or 10 different versions of an album, with most of them having the exact same content, which just seems silly to me.

This one was just not up to the SQ standards I have come to expect from Telarc. The music and performance are good, but the sound is kind of dry and missing that hall ambience that is required to make it seem more like a real performance.

Back from a week of vacation at Club Med in Port St. Lucie FL. We were the for eight days and had eight days of rain. Got there last Thursday and they had gotten so much rain that both the golf course and the driving range was closed until Tuesday. And then on Tue & Wed there were on and off thunderstorms such that there was not enough lightning free time to get in a round.

This was the view outside the dining room window as we were eating lunch on Wed afternoon.  :shock:

Luckily our package included an open bar for the entire stay so we had other things to do.  :beer:

I never in a million years would have picked this up had it not been in the quarter bin at Mr. Cheapo's. But it is a Chesky recording so I figured at that price, what the hell. From the title I would have thought it was some kind of Punk stuff, but it turns out that this is a very enjoyable jazz vocal album. A swing jazz style similar to the Brian Setzer Orchestra.

They have a few other albums on Tidal that I will have to check out. (But sorry, not this one)

25 cents well spent.  :thumb:

Thanks Tom, I'll check that one out. I love Stan Levey!

He was Charlie Parker's roommate before Bird married Chan. His 8 bar breaks on Dizzy's "For Musicians Only" are among the best bebop drum solos ever recorded, imo. One of my favorite drummers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5Oh-tmAZcU
16 bar breaks with Getz, Stitt and Dizzy, starting at 10:30, but especially 11:11.  WOW!   
Is this the peak jazz drum moment?  Even Roach never played such complex ideas so musically.

Tchaikovsky: 1812 - Solti/Chicago Symphony

The first time I listened to this it was in the car and I was impressed by the good balance it struck between the volume of the orchestra and the dynamic punch of the canons. I thought this might have the potential to be a top shelf 1812 recording. Unfortunately when I listened to it on the main system this turned out not to be the case. While itdid indeed show the same good dynamic balance, the rocording itself is rather flat and lifeless there is very little sense of air nor any real hall ambience at all.

the car stereo is not capable of resolving the kind of detail the I found lacking when playing this CD on the main system, so I was not looking for them in the car and thougt it sounded good in there. But this CD could not deliver the kind of sound I expect from by main rig.

Ahhhh, the double edged sword of a high end audio system.......

Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue - Michael Camilo, Piano Izquierdo/Orquestra Simfonica de Barcelona

(http://estaticos02.elmundo.es/documentos/2005/12/cultura/camilo/img/disco.jpg)   Telarc Jazz CD

The RCA Shaded Dog Boston Pops/Earl Wild recording of has long been my benchmark for Rhapsody in Blue and this does nothing to challenge that status, but........

This is a great CD to use to show off your system to non-audiophile friends. Very clean, very dynamic and a huge soundstage in terms of width and height. Not so much in terms of stage depth or hall ambience, but those are fine audiophile details that  are more often than not lost  on casual listeners, who don't really appreciate them even if the do hear them.. I would liken this recording to watching an IMAX movie where everything is very big and vivid., which is much more likely to impress a non-audiophile than most of the fine details that we strive to maintain.

The reading itself is very much like the recording, more focused on the hard charging dynamics. The Boston Pops version while less dynamic, I feel has more emotion and musical textures. But again, the more powerful reading of this Telarc would very likely be more impressive to a casual listener, who is not as into the more technical aspects of musical performances as we are as audiophiles.

Not a bad recording by a long shot. Just not what I would consider the top of the pile for this piece of music.

However, I did find it a very good CD for the car. While the hard charging nature of the reading reduces they dynamic contrasts compared tot he RCA, it also makes the lower level passages higher in volume. And while that loss of dynamic range may be a negative for main system sweet spot listening, it is a plus in the car because it prevents the lower level passages from getting wiped out by the ambient road noise. So like many other things this can be looked at as another right tool for the right job type of thing.

Wow, I am really liking this one.  Very nice jazzy blues.

Unfortunately, in spite of a good cleaning on the VPI, it still contains a lot more surface noise than I would like to deal with. But the vinyl itself is visually in good shape, so I am hopeful that a trip past Mr. Steamer will take care of the problem.

Just released on Tidal this morning.

It's OK, but IMO layering the Royal Philharmonic over the original Beach Boys studio recording really adds not more than an excuse to try and get us to fork over cash for the same music yet once again.

If you can find it on a streaming service for free it is worth a listen, but other than that.........

This is a great album. Both pieces are awesome.

I heard Enigma Variations on the English car show "Top Gear" but I didn't know what it was called at the time and I didn't know about shazam yet, so I had to figure it out the hardway, which was very fun. I finally figured out what it was called and bought the only 3 versions I could find on Amazon on CD to pick a favorite, and I liked this one the best. But there are 50 different versions on Tidal!  This one is "good enough."  :thumb:

This Dvorak 7th avoids the temptation of self-indulgent conductors (the mozartians) to exaggerate Dvorak's marked tempi for added drama and career enhancement. This one has great tempi and consistent focus on the composer's intent, which is grand and romantic. Many Dvorak ekzpurtz say the 7th symphony is his best. I like the 9th a lot too, especially Bernstein/NYP, which is coming up next.  :D

I'm pissed:
That I lost my brand new prescription sunglasses that I only had for 2 weeks. I need them in a week and it takes 3 weeks to get another pair from Zenni.com DAMMIT! $65 down the tube.

That I ordered the wrong plugs and air filter for my daughters car. It's cost me $15 to mail them back when it was delivered for free. How does that work?

That the 13 yards of mulch I paid a couple 16yo highschoolers to install last week is 5 inches thick and is huge chunks of wood that will never rot down in 100 years and it's spilling out of my beds onto walks and lawn everywhere.

So I put on one of my cheer-up albums, Blakey Moanin. The 24/192K version on Tidal. yipee MQA! I crank it up to 80 on my DAC which is fucking loud as hell, Drum Thunder Suite. Yes, I'm pissed and this feels good. But it's too bright and edgy and I keep hearing these big thuds. Like someone is pounding on my house with a sledgehammer.

It's a vinyl LP ripped to digital. I really hate that. You hear the pops and grit and bumps in the night. And they call it remastered. Their pussy little 5" 60Hz remastering monitors don't hear any of it.

The RVG Edition of the album is on Tidal 16/44 and it's in mono and it's excellent. The tone is right, the mix is natural like the vinyl and there are no thuds.  Crank it up!  :twisted:

She is one of the best pianists on the scene now. The Prokofiev side is awesome. The piano is powerful and clear, very dynamic. But the tone is dark and easy to listen, even turned up way too loud. Sounds like a big Bosendorfer, like butter.

When my mother passed away last month it was her request that we have no wake or funeral service , but rather we all go out and do something fun in her memory. So last Sunday, the family and a bunch of friends all got together and did one of her favorite things, went to see a performance of The Boston Pops at Tanglewood. We sat out on the lawn and had lunch and just as we had finished packing way the last of the food, and 5 minutes before the start of the concert it began to rain. So we sat there under umbrellas in the pouring rain for the entire concert until the sun came out just as they started the second encore number. Murphy's Law. But that allowed us to break down, pack the cars and have a little informal memorial service in the sunshine.

All in all it was a successful day and a pleasant  time was had by all. Everyone left soggy, but happy.

We did a little pregaming and listened to these in the car on the way there.

Another historic recording on CD that was ripped from vinyl instead of the original tape.  :roll:

SQ is so bad I had to bail out. All vinyl noise. My brother has the whole Bird on Dial series on vinyl, printed in europe in the 70s. There is no noise like this. They were done from the tapes, only 30 years after recording. I bet the tapes don't even exist of a lot of these old jazz recordings.

There is a "Charlie Parker: The Essentials" on Tidal. It doesn't exist outside tidal so maybe it is there own Bird collection. It has a lot of tracks, so it's not a CD. At first the SQ was good for the first track. Then the 2nd and 3rd tracks had severe digital problems, that skipping sound when a CD ripper can't get the data off the disc and there's no bit-perfect rescan enabled. Full scale noise blips twice per second. Another Charlie Parker technology fail.

All these cool-dude, so-called jazz-loving presidents like Bubba and Bama should have designated Bird a National Treasure and asked the Smithsonian to create a reference quality archive of his entire canon from the best surviving sources. Certainly one of America's top 5 finest and most valuable musicians should be preserved. Just pissing away.

At least it's all still available on vinyl on ebay.

Just played an absolutely new copy of Earl Wild performing Chopin's Waltz in G flat minor--- on a 10" 1947 Majestic 78.  A friend bought out a horder's storage building of voice coils, amps, speaker cones, rheostats, etc, and among them was an unopened box sealed with Majestic Records labeled tape containing 25 unplayed copies.  A bit of search led to  Dec. 1947 as the release date.  Of course, even new, it's a 78 and plays with more noise that I want to listen to typically. 
The label was based in NY and was partly owned by Jimmy Walker, NYC mayor of Tamminy Hall infamy.

This is essentially a greatest hits collection is great music, but really says nothing new. The real gem here is the Deluxe version, which adds a second disc full of solo acoustic demos, almost all of which are from the 68 - 72 time frame. These tracks strip away all of the slick studio production and the CSN (&Y) magic harmonies and give you a chance to see into the raw essence of the music. For me, that alone is reason enough to listen to this album.

Of course being able to get it for free via Tidal doesn't hurt either.....  ;)

Roger Waters: The Wall

(https://media1.jpc.de/image/w600/front/0/0888751554115.jpg)  Columbia 180g, 3 LP Set

Soundtrack to the concert film made during the 2010 -2013 The Wall Tour

Includes a nice 16 page LP size book.

When the soundtrack first came out I borrowed a CD copy from the library and was very disappointed. It was very flat and closed in sounding. After hearing tat I was very gun shy of laying out the cash for the vinyl version. But when I saw it on sale at Mr. Cheapo's for $27 and it qualified for 30% off on top of that at the 4th of July sale I figured it was time to take the plunge

 And I am glad that I did. The vinyl set is very detailed with a wide open sound stage. Nice quiet vinyl too.

Definitely worthy of a recommendation from the Vampire.  :thumb:

The #1 best performance on record of Holst's innovative band music.
Scary bassdrum action if you turn it up to the proper volume for the band.

Listen to it a few times and the melodies will haunt you for months. Holst master melodist, and orchestrator.

A great chamber music album of Benjamin Britten's music, esp if you like solo oboe! Not easy to find solo oboe recordings, but oboe is one of the most difficult instruments to reproduce correctly, a real challenge for playback system. You'll hear your midrange flaws easily, if you know what oboe supposed to sound like. Close miked, great tone.

Prazak is an awesome string quartet. Try their Beethoven Quartet cycle!

This one's on Tidal.

Like a full bag of freetos, once I start on Dvorak, it's hard to stop.   This is a very good recording of LSO playing Dvorak 7th. Mid bass is very clean, excellent acoustics, good tempos.

David Benoit and Marc Antoine: So Nice

I like David Benoit, but I kind of think that he is to lite jazz what Boston is to Rock. Good music, but after a while it all starts to sound the same.

Got this one out of the library and I'm glad I did. I enjoyed listening to it, but it is just not the kind of thing I see myself listening to over and over again, so a library loan was just fine.

And while we are talking about Boston, I love Larry the Cable Guys shitck about them. He says "Boston is the laziest band in the history of Rock and Roll. Six albums in 40 years????  Heck, Jimmy Hendrix puts out 4 or 5 a year and he's dead!"  :rofl:

My wife and took a trip to Margaritaville last night, taking in the annual Jimmy Buffet concert at the Jones Beach Theater.

The tailgate parties started at about 6AM and everyone in the parking lot was pretty well lit by the time we got there at 4 in the afternoon.   :beer: :bbq :beer:

This year Meredith decided to spend two hours before the show cruising the parking lot in a shark costume. I was a bit more conservative sticking to just a grass skirt and a cheeseburger hat.

She must have posed for at least 500 pictures before we were through. I felt like Mickey Mouse's handler at Disney World, but we had a blast.

And the concert was better than the tailgating.

At 71 Jimmy can still put on a great show.  (although he seems to be playing less and less shows as the years go by.)

The Love Scene from "Vertigo" by Bernard Herrmann

I'm too young to know the movie Vertigo ;), but I know this music from a favorite TV show, "Supermassive Black Holes" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dyl-yo7Ep-Y) documentary, this recording is played behind the CGI scene when Andromeda and Milky Way collide, 2 billion years from now. I heard it on the radio today. It's a good album!

An album of all ballads, and the first album from this trio after the death of their original bassist Scott LaFaro. Chuck Israels (bs) plays great, if a little pensive. Bass is way hot in the mix, panned far right typical for 60s magical hifi stereo LPs.  the volume is a bit distracting. Tape hiss is noticeable sometimes on this. Absolutely superb playing by Bill Evans. Harmonically probing, rhythmically precise and fearless. Evans' performance is on par with his Kind of Blue sides and the music feels just as serious, unlike the LaFaro sides which seem more lighthearted to me.

Thanks Tom. Luckily, it was only out for about 90 minutes, limited to a small area around us. Sounded like 3 transformer explosions maybe about a 1/2 mile away. Maybe someone hit a tree or something. Weather was calm and dry, hasn't been too hot lately, but heat's back today.

Love this album!   This music is part of her practice material, she's been playing it for 2 hours everyday for decades. Beats scales.  :thumb:


It's on Tidal, looks like this:
(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51vbGcyVjVL._SX355_.jpg)
But the track order on Tidal is FUBAR! I guess you could import the album into Roon, then it will let you edit the tracks to the correct order as shown on the Amazon track list.

I originally ripped my 2 CDs into 6 separate works, instead of 2 CDs, so that messed up Roon when it imported them. But Roon's editing function made it easy to convert the 6 works back to one album of 2 CDs. Roon applied it's own metadata to the tracks, all I had to do was correct the track order of each rebuilt CD by sliding the tracks up and down the list, then Roon renumbered the tracks and merged it all into 1 album. I changed the art to the old 2004 picture of her on the original release. Piece of cake!

This ICEedge amp is KILLING this violin. Definitely one of the best amps I've heard! Much more transparent to the musical edge and harmonic overtones than NCore or any other hifi amp I've ever heard. At $1500 it's gotta be the best value amp atm. But only IF you want the edge.

Love this album!   This music is part of her practice material, she's been playing it for 2 hours everyday for decades. Beats scales.  :thumb:


It's on Tidal, looks like this:
(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51vbGcyVjVL._SX355_.jpg)
But the track order on Tidal is FUBAR! I guess you could import the album into Roon, then it will let you edit the tracks to the correct order as shown on the Amazon track list.

I originally ripped my 2 CDs into 6 separate works, instead of 2 CDs, so that messed up Roon when it imported them. But Roon's editing function made it easy to convert the 6 works back to one album of 2 CDs. Roon applied it's own metadata to the tracks, all I had to do was correct the track order of each rebuilt CD by sliding the tracks up and down the list, then Roon renumbered the tracks and merged it all into 1 album. I changed the art to the old 2004 picture of her on the original release. Piece of cake!

This ICEedge amp is KILLING this violin. Definitely one of the best amps I've heard! Much more transparent to the musical edge and harmonic overtones than NCore or any other hifi amp I've ever heard. At $1500 it's gotta be the best value amp atm. But only IF you want the edge.

An amazing amp, indeed! I’m still startled sometimes by how fast this amp is.

Saw this on my Roon Overview, the first album in the New Albums section. It was just released this Friday. Of course, the album cover caught my eye, as it was intended to do. Notice the log? How's that for photoshopping, dougie?!? :D

Apparently the track "Barbie Dreams" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bToKI9gi-eY) is turning heads and dropping jaws even among the most hardened and shockproof of the rap underworld. She insults every other rap artist in the most degrading and harsh way possible. Showbiz 2018 style!

Definitely "M" for Mature Audiences. Every flavor of evil and every deadly sin are thoroughly explored.

The harmonies and production quality are pretty good, as expected for a major artist's 4th album. With her irresistable cloud of controversy and the sexy cover, and the good harmonies and production, the album will be very successful.

SQ and mix is pretty good, albeit a bit bass heavy but true to the genre. I got the equipment to do this album justice and it rocks in it's own way. I think da yoots will dig it, and learn a few new words. Win/Win!

The themes and language are pretty rough, even for me. One production flaw I noticed is that the sub tones (one note bass drones) are not cleanly edited to start and stop at zero volts, so there are lots of wicked transient snaps at the start and end of the sub tones, or whatever they're called dub step whatever. Fortunately the frequency balance is so tilted toward the bottom that transient snaps are relatively low in volume even when volume is turned up to unbearable bass level.

There's 19 tracks on this album, tho they all pretty much say the same thing. Shock shock shock, but, unfortunately, no awe. I'm halfway through the album now (yes I'm still listening!) and it seems like it will never end.  :roll:

One positive I took away from this "listening experience" (musical rape) is that the very prominent synthesized low- and mid-bass content demonstrates convincingly that my room needs more acoustic treatment work...

...and that I married the right girl.  :thumb:

Miles Smiles and Four and More are my fav of his 2nd quintet sides. ESP's good too. And Plugged Nickel. :)

Four and More / My Funny Valentine albums were from same concert, the first recordings of the new band. Tony Williams was recruited from Jackie McLean only days before. 'Four and More' marked the end of the post bop era, a very important record, imo.

I was reading an interview with Herbie Hancock he said when this 2nd quintet was first formed, the young guys immediately began jamming by throwing out new chords and riffs while Miles listened. But he couldn't keep up and looked concerned.

The 2nd day he matched them as they jammed, following along each new avenue the new guys went down.

And the 3rd day, he led them down the new avenues, and the 'young bucks' now had to struggle to keep up.

That's talent, wish I had some.

And now, sitting in dealership service waiting area - ESP.

Sitting in the queue to by tickets for this year's Boston Pops Holiday show.  The BSO took over their own online ticketing, but the system they built does not have anywhere near the capacity they need to handle first day ticket sales, so you just end up sitting in front of the computer watching the number of people in front of you on line click down.

While I'm waiting I thought I would listen to some Boston Pops and since it is still a bit too early in the year for Christmas music I pulled out one of the old standards:

Oh my, this is KILLING IT. Great sound, deep soundstage that draws you in, very involving.

Thanks to a little nudge from Gene I remembered that I have a 20 CD Box Set called The Perfect Miles Davis Collection that I bought a few years back and never finished listening to all the way through. Time to work on that.


It is an EU import from 2011, but it is a genuine Sony Legacy release, so it is not one of those copyright loophole bootleg issues. Great collection and it can still be found on Amazon for under $50. At that price it is an outstanding bargain, even if you already have some of the albums.

(https://t1.daumcdn.net/cfile/tistory/133868394F661F8611)

Yesterdays Gold CD (Swedish Import)

I got this CD in 1988 and after all these years it is still one of the best sounding jazz collections I own. Add to that the line up of top shelf jazz artists playing great music and this is a disc that  should not be passed up if you ever see a copy. Not easy to find anymore, but there are a few copies up on Discogs. The CD itself is usually not that expensive, but the listings are from all over the world so the shipping often exceeds the price of the disc.

The Discogs page also lists the musicians for each cut, which is a pretty impressive line up.

Miles Davis / Filles de Kilimanjaro

More focused than Miles In The Sky, a better overall effort.

Especially when listened to with a fine French wine - 2009 Chante Cigale Châteauneuf-du-Pape .

I heard these tracks at a roller skating rink and it piqued my interest as I don't think I've heard an Accordion played like this. These tracks may sound better on loudspeakers then headphones IMO. I think the genre is Zydeco. Not sure.

Montema CD

That is one scary looking cover.  :shock:

Acoustic jazz quartet led by the former Cream Drummer.

Not bad musically, but the mix is rather odd in that the  drums are always the center of attention even to the point of being louder in the mix that the sax is during a sax solo.  But I guess this should not be that big of a surprise considering hat Baker is also the producer of the album.

It was worth a listen, but I'm glad that I borrowed it from the library as one spin was good enough.

London "Blue Back" LP (English Pressing)

There is something just very "right" about the sound of this album. It also contains The Socerer's Apprentice, which when compared to the Reference Recording version found on Mephisto & Friends is much less dynamic and spectacular sounding. But while it is not as impressive sounding as the RR it is at the same time more natural and true to what I would expect to hear in a good concert hall.

Which once again brings us back to the same question of whether an album should try to give us the best sound they can record or the closest reproduction of an actual concert experience?

MoFi CD

I saw this one in the dollar bin and was a little hesitant about picking it up. My experience with Soviet orchestras has been that they are a bit more stiff and structured that orchestra from other parts of the world. I was worried that this musical discipline would not mix well with jazz. But in the end I decided to give it a try simply because it was from MoFi.

Well boy was I taken back when I heard this for the first time. This is really some very legit jazz. I'm very glad I picked it up.

RCA Red Seal LP

Musically a very nice performance. Sonically it has very good detail and dynamics and very good tonality. Listening from the other room it sounds great. However when sitting in the sweet spot the soundstaging is somewhat off. It's a bit 2 dimensional, but what bothers me about it is that the ratio of height to width is just not natural. The images seem to large from top to bottom for the width of the stage it projects (which only goes from speaker to speaker and no further.)

That said, I really enjoyed the music, so this will be a keeper, even if it only for casual and not sweet spot listening.

Cecil Taylor, the attention-hogging musical retard ruins everything except Kenny Dorham's solos. The weak rhythm section can't isolate Taylor to his own sick mind and they allow the beat to be lost many times, especially on Trane's solos. Trane relies heavily on rhythmic support from his bands and succeds best with Philly Joe, Blakey or Elvin. When Trane phases out rhythmically to an etheric haze this band falls apart. KD is like a rhythmic and melodic pile driver saying "oh no, you will not fuck up my solo Cecil." The horn solos are harmonically crippled because they are fighting to stay afloat against the barage of noise attacking them and cutting across the grain of the spirit stream so they can't take chances and innovate. It's definitely a historically interesting recording. An excellent record for Cecil Taylor fans because he is forced to play jazz standards, but can't. Louis Hayes even fucks up his own solo, dropping a beat with nobody else playing. Definitely the worst KD record and the worst Trane album ever. But maybe the best Cecil Taylor record ever by virtue of his bandmates.

Also featured on the album are several special guests including, Tommy Shaw (Styx) on vocals, Brent Fitz (Slash, Gene Simmons) percussion, Jim Kale (Guess Who founding member) and Michael Devin (Whitesnake) on bass guitar."

Hey Tom! Luckily Raleigh was largely spared. Wind was <30 and only 5" rain so far. I think the other audiophiles down Charlotte way are also OK so far. Don't know about Carl's beachhouse yet. But it's still raining here and the rivers will rise for another week. Some rivers are predicted to be >25 feet over normal. Flooding will be a problem for a few weeks, with even more rain than Floyd.

Glad to hear it. I saw a weather report Wed night that was predicting 12 - 18" of rain in the Raleigh-Durham area. I would think I could be a while before Carl can even get to the area where is beach house is to check it out.

My brother in law has (or maybe had) a house on the outer Banks. I have not heard any reports of what kind of damage that area took, but I am sure it is substantial. One of the weather reports described Florence as having the potential to permanently change the coastlines of NC & SC

I'm more into the earlier stuff:
Vivaldi- Four Seasons (performed on period instruments)
Handle- Water Music and Royal Fireworks
Bach- Pretty much anything
Haydn- Symphonies 26, 28, 49 and 6
Beethoven- Like all 9 but 6 is one of the favorites.
Mozart- Pretty much all but Jupiter stands out.

Note: My wife (when she could see) played both piano and harpsichord. She flips out whenever
she hears a harpsichord piece done on piano (Gould is known for that).

One of Horace Silver's top 5 albums.

The CD/stream has 2 more tracks than the LP and they are NOT throwaway takes.

Horace Silver's 1st and best album ever... even though it's Art Blakey's first band, Horace was still co-leader, and wrote and arranged all the tunes.

Featuring Kenny Dorham's best work on record, this is one of the most important jazz albums, occupying that fleeting and narrow space between bop and post-bop.

RVG's masterpiece as well, the 96k mono remaster sounds great on Tidal Masters!

A new string quartet album from Reference Recordings. SQ is awesome! Music is interesting, eclectic, modern but easily assimilable.

This one's a little more meaty. Prazak is a bold and ballsy Czech string quartet. Smetana is a bold and ballsy Czech composer, makes a  good combination!

RCA Victor Soria Series LP

AS with the rest of the Soria Series LPs I have heard, this one has a very sooth sound with a huge soundstage. This one has more of a middle to rear of the hall perspective as opposed to the few few rows perspective of the Living Stereo records. This is not necessarily better or worse, just different. I would think that whether or not you like that perspective will be influenced on where you usually, which will determine what you are used to hearing at a live concert.

Unfortunately, this particular LP has got a huge amount of surface noise, reminiscent of a 1940s 78.  Hopefully a trip past the steamer will tame most of that noise, because as good as the recording is, it is really tough to listen to with all that noise.

From Qobuz::
"To celebrate his 50-year-long career, Jean-Michel Jarre has released the edifying compilation Planet Jarre, a collection of 41 tracks that highlight the path set by the pioneer of electronic music. It’s a wonderful opportunity to look back over the five decades during which the Frenchman expressed himself as an artist, a mad scientist, a visionary, a sucker for record breaking spectacles, an activist and now the torchbearer for artists struggling for fairer pay online."

Actually the one I am getting worried about is Rich. He has not been on in almost two weeks now. i know Raleigh did not take on that much damage from the hurricane last month, but I hope he is just busy or on vacation and did not get caught up in any of the rising flood waters that came after the storm.

Poor Man's Whiskey: Dark Side of the Moonshine

(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/412Jk7bVlTL._SS500.jpg)

Private issue 2 CD set


Disc 1 is a  full end to end cover of DSOTM done by the bluegrass band Poor Man's Whiskey. This set was produced in very limited numbers and only available for sale at PMW concerts making it very tough to find. On the plus side it is available for download from Amazon.

This one is just plain fun and I would say that it has to be my favorite of the ark Side covers that I have collected over the years.

A good way to kick off the weekend.  :thumb:

Qobuz 24/96 Streaming

All six CDs from the Super deluxe set.

The Esher Demos are an interesting part of Beatles history and well worth a listen.

For those who are not familiar with the Esher Demos, here is a link to an article about them from Rolling Stone:

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/the-beatles-esher-demos-the-lost-basement-tapes-that-became-the-white-album-630425/

The rest of the studio outtakes are fun to listen to but I never would have laid out the $139 Amazon is asking for the Super Deluxe set that contains them. If I had no choice but to buy the physical media I would have definitely opted for the 3 CD set containing the new remix and the Esher Demos for $24.

That, while I don't think the studio outtakes are worth the money it would take for me to procure them on CD, I do think they are worth the time , so if you see them on your favorite streaming service give them a listen

I don't know how it got started, but at least in NY quite a few of the classic rock stations play Alice's Restaurant at Noon on Thanksgiving Day. (I. of course, choose to spin my own vinyl copy instead.  :thumb:

I think it may have to do with the fact that the TV coverage of the Macy's parade runs until noon and then a lot of people just turn on the radio.

A real torture test. A great album to use as an evaluation tool of the bass and transient response of you system.

Those little Nolas continue to amaze me. They handled this better than speakers I have heard that are several multiples of their size.

I have this on CD!  This is the one that has the digital cannons warning for the battle of the Mouse King track. I think the track was what caused my stereo's speakers (then a Sony boom box) to bottom out! I bought mine before I had a decent enough system. Had to turn the volume up really high to hear anything.

Kenny Burrell: Ellington is Forever, Vol. 1

(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/715fDZhbJuL._SX355_.jpg)

Fantasy CD

This is the first disc from my recent PREX trip that was a bit of a disappointment. It is a Big Band tribute to Duke Ellington. Not that this is a bad thing, but it is just not what I expect from a Kenny Burrell album.

The Best of The Nat King Cole Trio,  The Instrumental Classics

(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51R5K1pQ3cL.jpg)

Capitol Jazz CD

Very nice from both a musical and a performance perspective, but these are all recordings from the 1940s , so do not expect audiophile quality sonics.  Very clean sound for what it is, but it still hash that 1040-ish sound to it, which I can live with , but YMMV.

I stopped in at my local library this afternoon to pick up a book that I had on reserve and saw this in the dollar sale rack. I was not familiar with the album, but since it only a buck and Norah Jones was on it I figured I would give it a shot.

Well this turned out to be a real winner. Nice bluesy jazz/rock fusion with very good SQ.

If anyone is interested it is also available on Tidal.

My son had a friend over today who is a music major in college. He asked me to play some music for him on my stereo and it turned into a game of "do you have this", which of course he lost. I of course could produce everything he asked for, and then some. Turned into a nice listening session. It's good to find a twentysomething that appreciates music other than Rap and Pop.  8)

This live concert from 1980 will be released on Feb 1st, but Qobuz has a preview track (Just One Look) available now.

Well if the rest of the album sounds like this one run, don't walk away from this one. After listening to this one track I have no doubt why this record was lost in the vaults until now. I like Linda Ronstadt and the performance is not bad, but the SQ, YUCK!

(https://www.picclickimg.com/d/l400/pict/173348522286_/Beethoven-Bicentennial-Collection-Symphonies-Overtures-Classical-Box-Set.jpg)

DG 5 LP Set

I picked up 9 of these Box Sets for 2 bucks each at the Crack House a while back and am just getting around to spinning them.

Listened to the Ninth Symphony and the Lenore Overture. Both had very large soundstages but unfortunately a rather hard sound to them. Not what I would consider good recordings. I will listen to a few more selections across some of the other boxes, but if they all sound similar to this it will be back to the crack house for the whole lot of them. It would be just too much shelf space to dedicate to sub par recordings that I probably would never listen to again.

Does anyone else have any experience with this series? I am hoping that the SQ of what I listened to today is not representative of the rest of the sets

Searched this out on the recommendation of a friend. This is the third album from this now 19 year old blues guitar prodigy who at the age of 10 was on the road opening for Buddy Guy on his Summer East Coast Tour.

FYI, album is more of a rock based blues that tradition Buddy Guy type blues, but boy can this kid play.

And, you gotta love a 19 year old kid who is releasing his music on vinyl....   :thumb:

Big Dot CD

Yup, that Rigis.

IMO, this was just an attempt by Regis Philbin and his wife Joy to cash in on his celebrity.

Very amateurish performance by Regis . Although his wife was better, it was not by enough to save it.

Saw it in the uber sale bin and thought I would grab it just to satisfy my curiosity. The price came to only 18 cents... and it still wasn't worth it.

Off to the Crack house with this one.  :roll:

You could use it like my copy of "So Much Love" by the Ray Conniff Singers... used as a dust cover for my mono rig.  Just for grins once, I actually ran it through the ultra sonic cleaner and listened to it.  Only once.

Philips CD

I did not care for this for the same reason I am not a fan of the West Side Story album she did wit Jose Carreras. IMO Kiri's operatic singing style just doesn't cut it in the jazz world. While her performance is clean and technically correct it is sterile and does not convey the heart and should of a good jazz performance.

A well recorded but rather generic collection of female jazz vocals. Not that it is bad, but there is just nothing very exciting about the album (except maybe the cover art.  ;) )

Oh, wow! It's Seiko Matsuda! Didn't know she went into jazz singing. How did you come across this? Was this promoted on Qobuz?

I don't know if I would call it promoted, it just popped up in the new releases list.

Michael Hedges: Torched

(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61hhbpY0cBL.jpg)

Tidal Streaming

Torched is a collection of demo recordings that guitarist Michael Hedges was working on at the time of his fatal automobile accident in December 1997.

Although they are put out there as demo recordings, you would never know that by just listening to them as the SQ is as good as most full fledged studio albums.

Miles Davis ‎– Kind Of Blue

The web is abuzz with the fact that today marks the 60th anniversary of the start of the KoB recording sessions. Reason enough to put it on.

Since I haven't played this under current system configuration was going to root out the MoFi version, but the Legacy pressing Jerome sent me a few years back was on the mantel, so its now spinning.

Damn, this sounds good!

Gene  you should check out The Perfect Miles Davis Collection box set.

(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81Iid6zigaL._SX425_.jpg)

It was issued by Sony in Europe and contains 20 Miles albums in mini LP sleeves.

Nº02 Miles Ahead (1957)
Nº03 1958 Miles (1958)
Nº04 Porgy And Bess (1959)
Nº05 Kind Of Blue (1959)
Nº06 Sketches Of Spain (1960)
Nº07 Someday My Prince Will Come (1961)

Nº18 We Want Miles [2 CDs] (1982)
Nº19 Star People (1983)

You can get it at this Amazon link but if you look around it might even be cheaper elsewhere.

https://www.amazon.com/Miles-Perfect-Davis-Collection/dp/B005ELZNH0/ref=sr_1_1?crid=324TB23C52AYH&keywords=miles+davis+box+set+cd&qid=1551619046&s=music&sprefix=miles+davis+box+set%2Cpopular%2C147&sr=1-1

I know you already have a whole bunch of these albums, but at the price the get for this set it very well may be worth it  to pick up just for the ones you need.

The SQ is very good and all 22 CDs in the box take up about the same amount of shelf space as 5 or 6 CDs in standard jewel cases.

JImmy Giuffre  "Tangents in Jazz"
I picked up this 1956 Capitol first pressing a couple of days ago because it was pristine and $3 (a rare combination).  Turns out it's very good jazz with a bit of an experimental twist.  Although the drum and bass are prominent, they don't set the beat, instead playing riffs on their own.  The beat is driven by trumpet and clarinet mostly, leading to an interesting Cool Jazz sound.  Find a copy if you can.

Lyle Lovett   "Joshua Judges Ruth"
Man, I love this album.  Each song is a jewel that connects me to the family of my childhood.  Lyle is a fellow Texas boy, and it shows in his music.  It helps that it's one of the best recorded albums I own.

I am really enjoying these blues discs that I pick up from Acoustic Sounds. If you like Blues you really owe it to yourself to check out this sale. It is still going on and the CDs are only $2.50 with the SACDs, where available only $5. Great stuff.

Tidal Masters

I looked this up on Qobuz after reading about it in the PecanPi thread and when I played it all I got was the first 30 seconds of each cut and then it moved on to the next one. Strange...

The Tidal version played all the way through with no problems.

As for the album, it's typical Jarre'. If you like him, you'll like this.

MC Records CD

I picked this one out of the 17 cent bin a Mr. Cheapos and it turned out to be a really good album.

And then I looked at the credits on the back I recognized the place it was recorded as a studio that was opened as a small operation by a college classmate of mine while we were still in school. I googled the name and it is now a rather elaborate and well respected studio. It's not all that far from where I live, so now I am going to have to make it a goal to get over there and catch up with Fred, who I have not seen since graduation.

Classic Records 192/24 WAV

The SQ is very nice, but the music did not do it for me. I am just not a big fan of 20th Century Classical.

RCA Soria Series 3 LP Set with a 30 page 12" x 12" book

As with everything I have heard from the Soria Series the sound is first rate.

Unfortunately this set is from the age of record changers so the discs are Sides 1/6, 2/5 and 3/4 requiring a lot of record switching  instead of just flipping over. But is is a small price to pay for the excellent music and sound they contain.

Dancing Cat CD

A collection of George Winston solo piano compositions based on the sonic image of a whirling carousel.

The first one or two cuts were interesting, but after that the theme got old in a hurry.

Oh well, it came out of the quarter bin, so nothing much lost.

John Coltrane ‎– Blue Train
Label: Blue Note ‎– 7243 4 95326 1 8, Blue Note ‎– BST-81577
Series: The Treasures Of Blue Note
Format: Vinyl,  Reissue
Country: US
Released: 2008

Changed all ICs in vinyl playback to AudioQuest, added a TWL 7+ to amp, and even ran a small drain wire from turntable bearing nut to ground nut on turntable wiring block. I think that last wire did more than anything, a .5 cent fix. Now listening to see what I got.

What does Time-Life do that eludes so many others? I agree that they sound uniformly excellent. Unless I absolutely loath the music, I will always grab their compilations in the used bins. They also generally provide excellent liner notes. Rhino records ain’t too shabby either.

I wish I knew... or I should say I wish other companies knew as well.

Of course the other good thing about Time Life collections is that with a very few exceptions used copies are almost always very reasonably priced.

OK this is more like it. A collection of music sourced from 1030s and 40s 78s, so the sound is not audiophile in nature, but what it lacks in SQ it makes up for in great music and performance.

Although the typical 1940s sound is limited in terms of frequency response and dynamics, it is still not what I would consider "bad" sound and it is enjoyable for what it is.

MoFi Gold CD & 16/44 FLAC sourced from the same CD

There was a definite difference in SQ between the two. The FLAC definitely had a much clearer sense of space and a larger soundstage that had a much better layering of depth. The CD was a bit smoother, but at the same time a little less detailed. If I had to pick one I would say that I preferred the FLAC, although I could easily be happy with either one. Although I would be interested in hearing what the CD sounds like on a better transport.

Just for the record, neither was as good as my 30th Anniversary LP.

This used to be a very active and vibrant thread with tons of good information being passed back and forth about good music and recordings. But lately it has turned into a dead end and  lead by a one man band, me. I have been going weeks and weeks putting up dozens of posts with no comments on them or any contributions form anyone else. It just seems like nobody here cares any more about sharing insights and experiences about music. And if that's the way the group feels, so be it.

With all of that in mind I am going to take a break from posting in this thread. No hard feelings and I will continue hanging around and participating in other discussions. But as far as this thread goes, it seems like a waste time searching down pictures of album covers and formatting posts when I just end up talking to myself.

OK, based on these last few posts and some further comments I got via phone calls and PMs  I guess there are people paying attention and I will return to posting here.

But seriously guys comments in this thread can be short and sweet  saying that you tried the album and liked it  (streaming is a great way to sample things you see here, or even just a :thumb: to say you like that music or artist.

The posts don't have to be elaborate, but any acknowledgement at all will at least let me and anyone else who posts here know that people are at least paying attention.

Of course in my mind the best kind of follow-up post is one that says "if you liked that you might want to check out this......."

In my mind the best part of this thread is learning from other people's musical experience and using those hints to broaden my own musical horizons and enjoyment.   :thumb:

Because in the end, although we all like to play with gear, isn't the bottom like of this hobby the enjoyment of music in the home?

Sometimes you pick an album to play and others times they seem to pick you.

I still have a pile of records and CDs in the basement that I picked up over the past few months that have not gotten their inaugural spin yet.

I came home tonight, like so many other people in the world, still a bit in shock over the fire at Notre Dame and just went to "the pile to clean a few LPs and sit down for a listen. And what is the second LP on the pile but this:

Cantate Domino

And quite a few blues artists. Also I do believe that Europeans have a finer appreciation of real art. So it draws exceptional talent. One of my favorite artists, Beth Hart rarely does concerts in the US. 95% of her performances are in Europe.

RE: David Crosby's "Here If You Listen" album

Tmazz, what a timely mention of David Crosby's "Here If You Listen" album. I've been a David Crosby fan for a long time. Felt his Byrds' songs were some of the best that group did. Loved his CSN and CSNY material as well as his 1st solo LP.

Was excited to find his 2014 album "Croz" at a record store, this a 2 LP album. Although the fidelity and production were excellent, I just could not get into the music. It was in a quite different place than his past material and lacking his magically addictive vocals. I don't mind different as musicians grow and change. In this case, though, he went in a direction different than my tastes.

Just read a rave review about "Here If You Listen" I think in TAS (or Stereophile?) which got me warm and fuzzy about acquiring it. But have hesitated due to my reaction to "Croz". Tmazz if you've listened to "Croz" wondering if the music is similar to" Here If You Listen?" Thanks for any thoughts per this you have!

I gave Croz another listen this afternoon and it is definitely closer to the Byrds/CSN sound than the new one. not that it is heavily tilted towards that flavor, but just more so than the new album.

That said I did enjoy both albums for what they were, but if you are looking to relive that old CSN sound the new album will not take you there.

Keep in mind that I listened to both on Qobuz, so I did not have to lay out cash to hear either one. While I enjoyed them both I don't think I would have made a purchase of either if that was my only option. In my case shelf space is becoming more critical in the decision making process than the purchase price  and neither of these is something that I would see myself playing on a regular basis, hence in my mind they would not be worth the space.

This is why I have been so drawn to streaming. I can sample albums online and have access to them as I want and then only purchase physical copies of things that will benefit from the (marginally) better sound I can get from physical media, if I will being playing it repeatedly. There are just too many one and done albums out there for me to purchase everything that piques my interest.

Bravo tmazz! Much thanks for going the extra mile to spend time researching my David Crosby question. Thanks to your response I don't have to wonder whether or not I should acquire his new album. Since I could not warm up to Croz I will pass on the new album.

We share the problem of shelf space. I'm working hard to not acquire more LPs. So far I have been good. Although my place in CA was smaller than my current home, I have less space to file LPs. And thus the numerous (really numerous) number of boxes containing LPs I moved with remain stacked and unopened. And this after I purged my collection prior to moving. Currently, when I can play tunes, I listen to albums acquired subsequent to moving east. The reality is somehow I have to do a major purge to reduce the collection to a more manageable amount. Difficult as almost all of them I consider keepers.

Per your recent spin of The Rite of Spring, a composition I love. And a wowie when heard performed well in a concert hall. In California, I worked for an orchestra, mostly volunteer stuff--all interesting assignments. The one time I manned the information desk during a concert The Rite was performed. And this was a knockout performance. A couple of people came over and complained about the crappy modern music. And this over a century after the highly negative audience reaction to the premier performance of The Rite. Suppose nothing pleases the Bach, Beethoven, Brahms crowd other than works by those composers.

Hey Tmazz

Speaking of Fred Astaire. Don't know if you are into Mel Torme at all. I have an album of his called Sings Fred Astaire. These are tunes Fred had sung, likely in movies he was in. These tunes are some of the classics from the "American Songbook" such as Cheek to Cheek and Nice Work if you Can Get it. Although I have not heard it in yrs, as it remains unpacked for far too long subsequent to my move, my recollection is these are fabulous performances by Mel and band. Checked out allmusic's review and they agree. See: https://www.allmusic.com/album/sings-fred-astaire-mw0000122517

Capitol CD

I took a change on this one from the quarter bin because of Shaffer's association with The Blues Brothers, The Saturday Night Live Band and later David Letterman's Late Show Band.

But while I liked a lot of his other work, this album just did not do it for me musically. Too much Techno dance overtones for me.

That's the beauty of the quarter bin. I took a chance of something I really didn't know much about. I ended up not liking the music, so I can toss out the CD and did not pay much more than would have payed for an empty jewel case, which is what I have left.  8)

An older version of Rodrigo's great Concierto de Aranjuez with Narciso Yepes on the much hyped London blue back lp.
Although the performance is nuanced and with great empathy for the piece, the copy is just too noisy to enjoy. 
Anyone need a classic performance.  It's a vinyl that looks much better than it plays.   :cry:
The Falla is pretty decent, but I like Alicia de Larrocha better.

Would you like to try it?  I'll send it to you.  It's actually a decent performance of great music, just too noisy for me to enjoy.  I'd be interested it your steamer could do something that my ultrasonic couldn't do.

The steamer I use is nothing fancy,  just a small general purpose hand held unit similar to this:

(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51g-NeaDqBL.jpg)

I put the record on the floor on a towels and just blast the steam in a circular motion around the record a few times and then vacuum off the water and clean it once more on the VPI machine. It sometimes takes more than one try but it usually does the trick and has rescued quite a few unplayable records for me.

Of course if there is some kind of physical damage to the disc itself this won't help, but if the noise is caused by dirt this should do the trick.

I would be happy to try it for you, but if you have access to one of these little cleaners it is easy enough  try yourself

JJM Entertainment CD

My cousin Jimmy's first album, produced by Doug Stegmeyer, Billy Joel's long time bass player.

In spite of the fact that I had spent 100s of hours recording him, I never knew this project was in the works until I saw the CD for sale in a local record store. It seems that Jimmy had called to tell me about it and my wife answered the phone. When she found out what was going on she threatened to skin him alive if he told me as I was in my last semester of graduate school and she knew if I found out I would be spending way too many nights in the recording studio until 3 AM instead of doing the studying I needed to do.  :(

Well OK...she was right.  :roll:

Tmazz, how did you like this version?  I've not heard the Decca.

I liked it, but then I may not be the best source of an opinion, because I am a big Ansermet fan and like pretty much all of his readings.

Outside of it being a nice performance it had the typical Decca big wide soundstage. I noticed the horns getting a bit edgy a few times, but I think that is more the sound Stravinsky wanted as opposed to a fault in the recording. When I get a chance I will have to pull out the Mercury and see if the edginess is in that recording as well.

I saw this in Speaker's corner pressing in a record store a while back and passed it by because I have an audiophile pressing of the Dorati Mercury, which is pretty much the gold standard for The Firebird. And then a month or two later I was reading and article in the audiophile press (I think is was one of the Stereophile Records to Die For lists and the Speakers corner was written up saying that even if you have the Mercury you need to get this one too. So I have been keeping an eye out for it and last week saw it in the Academy Records  eBay store for a decent price, so I jumped on it. And I am not sorry that I did.

I just found a Wikipedia page about this album. The title Between the Wars refers to the period between World Wars I & II.

Many of the songs contain strong historical references:


"Night Train to Munich": a 1940 film directed by Carol Reed and starring Rex Harrison bears the same title as this song.

"Lindy Comes to Town": the titular figure is Charles Lindbergh, who "comes to town" in a June 13, 1927 "ticker-tape parade". US President Calvin Coolidge is referred to, and the Wall Street Crash of 1929 is ironically hinted at.

"Three Mules": tells of British Prime Ministers Ramsay MacDonald, Stanley Baldwin and Neville Chamberlain who did little to prepare Britain for war and downplayed the threat Hitler posed to peace.

"A League of Notions": the title plays on and refers to the formation and earliest acts of the League of Nations at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference in Versailles. Several historical figures are mentioned, including US President Woodrow Wilson, British Prime Lloyd George, French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau and T. E. Lawrence (here referred to as "Lawrence of Arabia"). The lyrics bemoan the difficulties of establishing new territorial boundaries for Russia, Germany, Poland, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Turkey, Persia and Iraq. Churchill's hiccup is mentioned, as are Wilson's Fourteen Points and Clemenceau's historical remark to Lloyd George that "God Himself had only ten."q:Georges Clemenceau

"Marion the Chatelaine": refers to Marion Davies, the mistress of American newspaper baron William Randolph Hearst.

"Betty Boop's Birthday": an instrumental. Betty Boop was a cartoon character popular in the 1930s; in 1933, she appeared in the short film Betty Boop's Birthday Party.

"Joe the Georgian": Tells of Soviet officers waiting in Hell for Joseph Stalin, the titular Georgian, to arrive. "We're sharpening our pitchforks/And we're heating up the ends," the narrator declares, adding that he hopes Stalin "likes the next few million years." The second verse invokes the metaphor of a literal "ship of state", referring to Vladimir Lenin as "the captain" who became sick, whereupon Stalin, the "mate", took over. Soviet historical figures Lev Kamenev, Grigory Zinoviev and Nikolai Bukharin are described as already being in amongst those waiting in the "anteroom to Hell".

"Always the Cause": about the Spanish Civil War. Dolores Ibarruri, "La Pasionara", is mentioned, as is her slogan ¡No pasarán!. The narrator declares that "Tonight I saw Guernica burn."

"The Black Danube": an instrumental. The Danube River originates in Germany's Black Forest.

I am going to have to listen again with this list in hand.

Superfly!
I remember singing this song with my buddies when I was around 12 years old.
I'll never forget the lyrics

Darkest of night
With the moon shining bright
There's a set goin' strong
Lotta things goin' on
The man of the hour
Has an air of great power
The dudes have envied him for so long
Oh, Superfly
You're gonna make your fortune by and by
But if you lose, don't ask no questions why
The only game you know is Do or Die
Ah-ha-ha

Black Lion LP (Dutch pressing)


This is not a studio album but rather transcriptions of two radio shows from the 1940s. As such the SQ is not good at all, but in spite of that the shows were fun to listen to. A little reminder of what life was like before Netflix.

The Association, "Insight/Out" Warner Brothers W1696 mono

Just snagged a very very clean copy of this for $5 at the Austin Record Convention last week. I'm a sucker for Sunshine Pop and I think "Never My Love," which was engineered by Bones Howe, is a pop music masterpiece.

I play mono LPs on my Garrard 301 with an Audio Technica ATP-12T tonearm and an Audio Technica VM610MONO cart. Sounds great through my MC30s and C28.

Billy Crystal Presents The Milt Gabler Story

(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61TpN6DkvLL.jpg)

Verve CD/DVD Set

From Amazon:

As Commodore's founder and Decca's A&R head, Milt Gabler helped shape jazz, pop, folk, R&B and rock 'n' roll. It's a staggering legacy; his nephew Billy Crystal chose these 26 tracks ( Strange Fruit Billie Holiday; Choo Choo Ch'Boogie Louis Jordan; Dream a Little Dream of Me Louis Armstrong/Ella Fitzgerald; Rock Around the Clock Bill Haley; Danke Schoen Wayne Newton, and more).

Rewarding as this collection is, it can't help but scratch the surface of his legacy; if any producer deserves his own box set, surely it's Milt Gabler.

Silvertone CD

Well you could knock me over with a feather. I had this on when my wife came home and I took it off and put on the Tony Bennett CD I found for her at Mr. Cheapos this afternoon and she came into the room and said "why did you take that other thing off, I was getting to like it."

Never in a million years would I have predicted that my ballerina wife would ask me to put on some blues.

Buddy Guy & Junior Wells: The Original Blues Brothers

(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61I1wOVyrXL._SX355_.jpg)

Magnum Music Group CD

Recorded Live at the 1964 Chicago Blues festival.

Unfortunately is sounds as if it was recorded using  single mic place al the way in the back of the room.

I'm glad I borrowed this one from the library and didn't lay out any cash for it.

The opening act for Buddy Guy was Kenny Wayne Shepherd, who also has a new album that I pulled up on Qobuz (this one in 48/24)

(https://img.discogs.com/pBNb4DXLMY9ZR7zylqXZJFwPFBg=/fit-in/500x500/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-13683792-1558965690-8728.jpeg.jpg)

Hard charging blues in a style reminiscent of SRV.

Kenny Wayne Shepherd, IMHO, stole the show... he was a reincarnated Stevie Ray Vaughn with a little Jimi Hendrix mixed in... an opening act with standing ovations and TWO encores... he was worth the price of admission ALONE!!!

BTW, he was using SRV's old "Double Trouble" drummer Chris Layton... WoW!

My $0.02,
Pete

Roger Daltrey: The Who’s "Tommy" Orchestral

Qobuz Streaming

Any advantage that would come from modern recording technology or playing with the London Symphony is far overshadowed by the fact that Daltrey's voice is 50 years older than it was when they first did Tommy.

I would much rather just stick with the original recording. Of course YMMV.

These Danny Wright CDs are kind of generic relaxing piano music. Not something I would normally seek out in large quantities, but is make for nice background music for me to play in my office at the church. I breaks the silence and is mellow enough that nobody complains about it being on.

Qobuz 96/24 Streaming

A collection of live tracks from various stops in McCartney's New World Tour in support of the Off the Ground album.

Later live albums (Good Evening New York City and Back in the US) are better from both sonic and performance perspectives so I personally would not spend money to buy this reissue (and more importantly, owning the other two live albums I do not think it is worth the shelf space to have a physical copy of this one as well.)

That said, it was still worth a listen on Qobuz.

This is a good example of the modern decision of what to own vs what to bookmark in a streaming service.

5 CDs worth of music recorded at the London House in Chicago in the Summer of 1961.

Peterson with Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen. This is a collection of some really top shelf jazz.

The CD version, which I also have, has slightly better SQ. But today, with my aching back I was just not in any shape to drag my butt out of the chair to change albums. It was a good day to just sit there with my tablet and pilot the streamer.  ;)

Spent the weekend at Tanglewood listening to The Boston Pops and the BSO.  8)

Sat night was Film Night with the Boston Pops. The evening was hosted by John Williams and featured a program of all music from film soundtracks. The concert was mostly conducted by film composer David Newman (Hoffa and Anastasia), son of the great Alfred Newman, who over the course of his career won nine Oscars for film music! But the highlight of the evening was when Williams himself returned to the podium to close out the concert by conducting a suite of music from the Star Wars series.

We returned Sunday afternoon, for what has become a Boston Symphony tradition, the closing of the summer season with a performance of Beethoven's 9th. Not much needs to be said about the Ninth except that hearing it performed by the BSO and the 125 voice Tanglewood Festival Chorus from a pair of prime orchestra seats was simply awe inspiring. And the audience responded with a full ten minute standing ovation at the end of the performance.  :drool:

I think it's a bit of an odd reading, dynamic, but sometimes key lines are too recessed.  Like most Direct to Disc, when it's right, it's compelling.  On a white vinyl pressing.

Didn't know that.  Thanks for the info.  Both pieces are classical war horses, played by every major symphony, so there's lots to compare to.  I love how the brass sings on direct to disc recordings, but there's something about this lp that just doesn't connect as well as it should.

Musical Heritage Society records get a bad rap in general... obscure orchestras and pieces.  But I have always found the quality to be acceptable to pretty good.
Beethoven's  Piano Concerto #3  by the Hungarian Philharmonic, Caridis conducting, and Ludwig Hoffman soloist.  Solid performance and recording for  $.50

Well, it wouldn't pass censors today, but in the 70's we accepted that humans had a sexuality before 18 years old. 
I'm all for protecting kids, but we are kinda crazy about it today.  If a 17 year old high school senior nailed his 28 year old French teacher, he wasn't traumatized and the teacher didn't go to jail.   
As a high school teacher for 30+ years I saw plenty of 16 year old girls that were the predators and not the prey.  It obviously a loaded topic.

Miles Davis: Rubberband

(https://static.stereogum.com/uploads/2019/09/190613_miles_rubberband-1567697710-640x640.jpg)

Qobuz 96/24

Believe it or not, just released yesterday, this is a brand new Miles Davis album.

From Qobuz:
Recorded in 1985, these pieces were not strictly written during the trumpeter’s heyday. That year, Miles shocked everybody by leaving Columbia, his record label for over 30 years, to join Warner. The move was all the more surprising given that over the preceding few years he had enjoyed commercial success thanks to The Man With the Horn (1981), Star People (1983), Decoy (1984) and the rather commercialised You're Under Arrest (1985). In October, at the age of 59, he began recording a new album entitled Rubberband in Los Angeles with producers Randy Hall and Zane Giles. During the sessions the trumpeter took his playing in a radically new direction, incorporating funk and soul grooves into his music. He even planned on recruiting Al Jarreau and Chaka Khan for the vocals. However, the album was never released and instead Miles Davis turned his attention to working on his famous Tutu with Marcus Miller, leaving Rubberband’s tracks unreleased for over three decades. But now, the treasure chest has been finally opened. The album was completed by its original producers - Hall and Giles – along with Vince Wilburn Jr., Miles Davis’ nephew who played the drums in the original sessions. The eighties synth-drenched sound features a funk/disco rhythm section. In fact, some tracks, on which Miles is rather discreet, do not sound jazzy at all (especially those featuring vocals by Ledisi and Lalah Hathaway). In any case, it is impossible to listen to Rubberband, which was conceived with keyboardists Adam Holzman, Neil Larsen and Wayne Linsey, percussionist Steve Reid, saxophonist Glen Burris and drummer Vince Wilburn, Jr., without thinking about that very distinct musical period. Nevertheless, on themes such as See I See, Miles’ distinctive phrases are still as impressive as ever. And throughout the album he unleashes a few soaring solos. More than enough to satisfy his fans anyway. © Max Dembo/Qobuz

Howard Hanson "Romantic Symphony"  #2
Eastman Rochester Orchestra, Hanson conducting 
Mercury Golden Imports

My God, this just so stunningly beautiful... not particularly complex, powerful, or even great, but just shear melodic, romantic beauty.  This is like a real love affair with a woman, not some infatuation of a teenager, but a deep and mature expression of a joyously contented soul. 
The main theme of the "Romantic" is something that can bring goosebumps.
I've got the original Mercury, but this is one those instances where the repressing is simply better, and honestly, I find that to be the rule rather than the exception with the Dutch repressing on Mercury Golden Imports.  I think it's simply better vinyl than the old U.S. Mercurys of the 50's and 60's
These aren't particularly expensive, so if you don't have one, go find one.

David Oistrakh and Sviatoslav Richter in Recital  on Quintessence PMC-7133

Franck Violin Sonata in A
Brahms Vionin Sonata No.3 in D Min

This is a repress of a 1968 Melodiya recording.  Being a HUGE fan of Sviatoslav Richter, I usually pick up any vinyl of his, and the performance doesn't disappoint- especially the Franck sonata.  As was not unusual of Melodya, the recording could be construed as lacking sparkle, but the two giants of piano and violin play off each other well.
Pick up a cheap copy.

Thelonious Monk  "Criss-Cross"  1963 Columbia CL 2038  Mono 2 Eye label (which is the first pressing)

Forgot I had this rather beat up copy, so I pulled it out to listen to the music through the noise and scratches.    Wow, I love T. Monk.  His style is musical, discordant, unique, and entirely wonderful.  Played on a mono cartridge, it's great music on a vg copy.  I'll probably let it go.  Anyone want a playable, decent copy for $10?  I don't need multiples.

I have a copy of that with a "Best Wishes,  D.E." signature on it- picked it up 15 years ago or so.   I've done what research the internet offers, and it looks like the Duke's initials. 
And it's a nice LP.

I've got a friend that owns a record store.  Usually he never even looks at marks on the covers other than to see what condition it's in.  Once, I pointed out to him that he had a signed Arthur Rubinstein lp (great 20th century classical pianist).  He simply said, "Your find, your gain" and sold it for two bucks.

Just in!! My vinyl copy of Jennifer Warnes'  "The Hunter". 
I've loved this LP since I first hear it a dozen years ago at Danny Richie's place.

I've got to follow up on this.  Warnes' "The Hunter" has been alongside "Famous Blue Raincoat" and "The Well"  as her standout albums for quite some time.  And every piece of equipment I've ever auditioned has eventually played pieces from it. 
But the music on the 180g LP remastered by Bernie Grundman studios is on a different level.  If this isn't the finest recording I have, it's clearly in the top few.  Ok, it's not especially cheap, but it was well worth the price to my old ears. 

Got a spare $35-40?  You won't be sorry.

Columbia 2 CD Set

Well this is the most disappoint recording I have bought in a long time. It is  pressed manufactured CDs on a professionally printed Digpak with Columbia Records logos and copyrights all over it. So I assumed it was an officially released commercial recording. WRONG!

This is a bootlegged audience recording, and not even a very good one at that. It captures the event OK but with mediocre SQ at best. It made my main system sound like a cheap clock radio.

And in my house there aren't many things that are a bigger no-no than bad sounding Pink Floyd. (https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/emojione/assets/png/1f621.png)

When I listened to this with my son we both liked the new mix bit he felts some of the instruments felt had and somewhat artificial when compared to the MoFi vinyl.

But since I liked the mix, so last time I was at Mr. Cheapo's I took the opportunity to grab the 180g LP (which was pressed at Chad Kassem's QRP plant).

This now marries the best of both worlds. The new LP has the natural sound of the MoFi along with the clarity and improved soundstaging of the new remix.   :thumb:

If you like Abbey Road the new LP is definitely worth picking up.

About 10 seconds into it my wife walked into the room and said "You got another Brubeck album?"

Very definitely has that signature Brubeck sound, but I like that.

I wouldn't say that it is a world beater that you have to find, but it is a solid album that I enjoyed listening to and is definitely worth of shelf space.

The two albums that I posted were the first I had heard of him. He came up as a recommendation from Tidal so I gave it a try. The first album where I said he was like Earl Klugh was more smooth jazz. There was another album called Pickin' which was done with David Grisman and is hardcore Bluegrass. This one is duets with a whole bunch of other people and kind of varies in style depending on who he is playing with.  I will probably check out a few more of his albums on Tidal and will be able to tell you more after that.

He he is definitely worth checking out if you can pull some of his music up on any of your streaming options.

This one was just not my style. I like my jazz to have at least some kind of melody thread through it. I know that a jazz piece will wander away from the melody and then wander back to it and that is fine with me. But the music on this album did not seam to have any melodic basis at all. Some folks may enjoy that, and if that's your thing you will probably this album, but it is just not for me.

Out of curiousity, I pulled it up on YouTube to take a listen to a couple of tunes.  Gotta say, so far, I like it!  You are correct in that although melodic, a clear melody isn't really present.  Still, it's not just squawks and dissonance.

Hi all.
I have a few vinyl and CD of Chuck Mangiony
and since they are in sealed boxes I decided to search
and found this one.
Good recording and nice relaxing music,
if you love the trumpet it's even better.
By the way, I am not a trumpet fan,
but I'm making an exception for this one,
so good I wanted to share.

Hi all.
I have a few vinyl and CD of Chuck Mangiony
and since they are in sealed boxes I decided to search
and found this one.

I agree that is a great album.

Perhaps the reason you like this in spite of not being a trumpet fan is that Mangione does not play a trumpet on this album , it is all flugelhorn, which has a deeper and more mellow tone than a trumpet (the flugelhorn is essentially a soprano tuba.)

here is a link to a short YouTube video which talks about the differences between the two instruments and then demonstrates some scales on both so you can hear for yourself.

Thanks tmazz.
You are right, after seeing the video I now understand better
why I love so much the sound of Mangione.
I can't find the exact words to describe the sound I like
but I would say simply : Mellow as you mentionned.

Hi all.
Another composer - musician that I like
I must say that I am not a piano fan,
but the melody, the sound of the piano make up for it..
I have two vinyl from him.
Very relaxing music with nice melody.

Note :
From the YouTube source,
the sound is not too good, even bad compared to my vinyl.

Do you think Rod had the slightest idea when he did this album that it would launch a pretty much second career of doing cover songs? Over the following 8 years he would record not only 4 more albums of music from the American songbook, but cover albums of classic rock and vintage Souls songs as well.

Tom,

Nick

Nothing elaborate Nick. I just clean them on the VPI 16.5 machine that I bought in 1989 using the stock VPI fluid. IF they are still noisy I give them a second pass and if that doesn't cure the problem I hit them with the steamer. 95% of the records are fine after the first pass and of the rest I may pull out the steamer twice a year.

It is worth noting that I clean not only every used records but also new records as well. While new records nay look clean they often contain residual amounts of the mold release compound used during the manufacturing process so insure the record comes off the pres easily and undamaged (kind of like spraying PAM on your waffle iron.) This compound is stick and wil gum up your stylus if not cleaned off the record.

I am sure there is more that I can do, but quite frankly with the number of records I deal with I just don't have the time.

BTW, this may all be subject to change as I plan to attend a seminar on record cleaning next weekend at CAF next weekend.

It's a studio recording, so there  is not a whole lot of room ambience, but that aside it's a nice clear sounding recording.

Jasmine/Impulse LP (British Pressing) :thumb:

I got the best compliment while playing this album today. I had a contractor doing some repairs to my chimney and at one point he asked if he could plug in the charger for his cordless drill. I told him sure, there was a plug right inside the front door in the living room. He walked into the house and his jaw dropped and he said"Holy cr@p!, that's a stereo??? I though for sure you had some guy practicing with his sax in here!!!"  :shock:

He made my day.   8)

Hi S Clark.
My very first vinyl was one from Laurindo Almeida.
A gift from my Godmother when I was 15 years old,
that's 57 years ago, still got it in a box ready to follow me to Canada.
Unfortunately a little (Read lots) scratches...
He's the one that made me love guitars (Acoustic) and for the (Electric0 guitars
it's the Ventures.

Nope. XRCDs are standard Redbook discs. The XRCD line is the result of JVC doing everything it can at each step of the mastering and manufacturing process to insure the best sound possible. See the link below for an article on the XRCD process that was published in TAS in 2010.

The Breaking Band Albuquerque.

It is not a band. but a recording made by a bunch of local musicians that were active here in the 80's.  Most of them are still active on the local scene with more than a few that have scored in the national market.  Tim Pierce, Eric McFadden, Mikey Wright and more.  This song tells the story of the club scene here in those days.

It is fun to listen to and compare the fresh faces of that time to who they are now.  The pictures on the scree correspond to who is singing or playing solos ate the moment in the video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8NCKaMkoUQ

These guys were just children when I was playing around here and I'm pleased to know most of them now.

Unfortunately this one has a skip near the end of side two. I could not find anything visually that would cause it, so I am going to have to give it a good steam bath and see if that works loose some kind of grunge deep in a groove that I am not seeing with the naked eye.

Damn, and  I paid a whole 65 cents for this one.

But to be honest with you, I go to the MoFi shelf out of habit, but I bought this album the first day it was released and thus my stock pressing was from very early in the run and sounds damn good.

All that aside, this album does represent Fagen at his best.  :thumb:

Tmazz, any idea how that Rhino 180 Court and Spark compares to the original pressing (which is pretty darn good)?  Also, I'm jealous of all those MFSL vinyls of yours.  Most of the ones I want are too expensive for my wallet.  I don't mind paying double for a step up in quality, but some of those things are running in the $2-300 range. 
Title: Re: What are you listening to right now?
Post by: tmazz on November 15, 2019, 04:50:13 PM
Unfortunately I do not have an original pressing to compare it to, but the Rhino sounds very nice. The original went out in the great record purge. When I moved 6 years ago I ended up having a big record sale divesting myself of most of the things I had duplicate pressings of and in the process making a lot of friends very happy.

As for the MoFi LPs, if you are jealous of me having then you are going to hate me when I tell you how I got most of them. I was just getting into High End Audio when CDs first came out and in the mid to late 80s records stores were practically giving away records to clear shelf space for those new shiny silver things. And I was all to happy to help them out. I picked up literally hundreds of audiophile LPs (MoFi, Nautilus and other Half speed mastered LP as well as all sorts of direct to disc albums, Japanese pressings and  and other audiophile goodies) for $5 and less. I was talking to the guy at the Elusive Disc table at CAF and told him that the first purchase I made from them was in 1985 and I bought every one of the MoFi UHQR LPs the the exception of Dark Side of the Moon and Sgt Pepper, at the clearance price of only $12 a piece. When I got to the price they guy almost spit out his coffee.  :rofl:

Of course a few years later when all of these pressings were out of print and out of stock everywhere people started to realize what they were and the prices started to shoot up. I certainly would not own them if I had to pay the current prices for them.  :roll:

As a matter of fact the only MoFi I ever paid more than the original list price for was the Sgt Pepper UHQR.  MoFi sold out the entire press run of 500 copies of the Pepper UHQR on the first day it ws available for wholesale ordering and the original $50 price jumped pretty quickly on the retail market. About two years after it sold out I was on a business trip and as I am apt to do whenever I go out of town I checked out the local record shops. What I found was not one, but two copies of the Pepper UHQR priced a $100 each. I couldn't get my wallet out fast enough.  The guy at the register looked at me like I was crazy to happy to pay that much for a record, but withing a week I had the second copy sold for pretty close to what I had paid for both copies.

Great finds on the secondary record market are just a matter of being in the right place at the right time.

Atlantic LP

I'm finding this Benz Micro cart to very sensitive to dirt. Both of these Blues Brothers LPs have not been out for a while and were a bit on the dusty side. They both have problems with mistracking and skipping that were solved by giving each record a quick wash on the VPI.

Of course clean records are not a bad thing, but I just got a bit lazy and it bit me in the @ss.

I wonder if this will be less of a problem after the cart breaks in and I dial in the alignment?  :-k

Guy 13

Damn Guy, you sound like my wife!  :roll:

If you ask her the answer is simple, too many.

I am not yet up to a warehouse full, just a good part of my basement. If I were to estimate the current could I would have to say it is in the area of 2,500 LPs and 5,000 CDs. And that is after what has become known as the "great record purge." Before we moved about 6 years ago I sold and gave away over 3000 LPs. There just wasn't enough space in the new house to take then all and there were a lot of things that I either had in multiple formats or were just albums that I listened to once and was unlikely to spin again.

I am very close to maxing out on rack space right now and find myself in a constant battle of having to offload stuff to make room for new arrivals. I find a lot of things in the quarter bin at Mr Cheapo's that I try out just for the heck of it and one of the biggest factors of whether I keep it or listen once and send it right into the donation bin is whether the album is worthy of shelf space (They love me at the local thrift shop.  :D)

Meredith once asked me "When are you going to stop buying records?". My reply, "When the throw the dirt on me."   :thumb:

I have been told this is not a hobby, it's a sickness.  :rofl:

When you are in the post reply screen put your cursor at the point in the post that you want to place the picture and then hit the button at the top the sits right below the Bole button and looks like a tiny picture of the Mona Lisa this will insert something that looks like this into your post

 

At this point the cursor should be sitting right between the . Just past the link for the location of the picture you want to inset and it should appear in the post. You can check bu suing the preview button just to the right of the Post button.

If you hit the quote button on this post you can see the syntax I used to post the picture below.

Hi all.
Since all my vinyl are on storage,
until I go back to Canada,
I listen a lot on Youtube
and I also search for music that I remember listening to some (Long) time ago.
This one I didn't listen for a very long time,
but still enjoy it a lot.
Plus, as a bonus on Youtube,
I get a video.
Love the sound, the rithem and the view.
Did you see the conductor how he moves,
he's in the back.
In the good old days, they knew how to dress,
not like today.
Enjoy if you like this type of music.

Hi Guy,
I remember Booker T and the MGs from the 60’s. That was a fun video...good music and great dancing. I would be curious to know what the original music was for that choreographed dance. I saw the conductor and he was having a great time 🎶🎶  It’s nice to see how classy the clothes were, but I’ll admit, I don’t enjoy dressing up. The last time was some years back when I wore a tuxedo to a dance competition. I just watched...did not compete.

Hi all.
In my previous post,
there is a old version of Booker T & the MGs (Look like 1943)
but with what I see - hear as a new sound track.
I just found this version : Time is tight look like it's more recent.
Despite the nice looking chicks I prefer the older version,
for the video, not the sound, the sound quality to me,
is the same in both video.
Enjoy if you like nice ladies with good music.
That's the kind of music that gives me goose bumps.

As I said in an earlier post, most of my audiophile vinyl I picked up for next to nothing when the record store were dumping their vinyl stock to make room for CDs in the mid 80s.  I certainly wouldn't own it if I had to pay the collector prices they get for it now.   :roll:

Since I mounted the Benz Micro Cart I have been going through the vinyl racks and pulling out things that have not seen daylight for a while. It's been fun to revisit things I have not heard for many years.

One of my better sounding audiophile LPs is a Direct to Disc album that Laurindo did for Crystal Clear Records called Virtuoso Guitar.

It can be found for very reasonable prices ( under $10 US) on Discogs.

If you don't have this you should definitely grab a copy when you see it.

https://www.discogs.com/Laurindo-Almeida-Virtuoso-Guitar/release/1670776

(Just a warning, it is cut at 45 RPM, so if you have a TT that plays at 33 only, you're out of luck on this one)

There is a budget CD pressing of this album floating around out there on the Laserlight label. But while the music is still good, the SQ is nowhere near that of the D2D LP.

Meredith & I kick-started the holiday season by by going to see the local stop on the Mannheim Steamroller 35th Anniversary Christmas Tour.

(https://img.grouponcdn.com/deal/2Ri1foaMyDbRb4Kc8K7ENjqaxQyn/2R-700x420/v1/c700x420.jpg)

As usual, the Steamroller put together a very enjoyable show.  :thumb:

Interestingly, the screen behind the stage was not projection but rather about a  30 x 60 ft LED panel.  And it was as clear as a projected 35mm movie. Large screen panels have come a long way since the early diamond vision screens, with pixels the size of 60 watt light bulbs. The first one of those I ever saw was in Shea Stadium. The screen was behind the center field wall and you could still see the pixels when sitting behind home plate over 400 ft away!

Thanks, Tom. I own 4 of their CDs and saved 3 or 4 from Tidal last night. As to technology, your comment reminded me of a work acquaintance who proudly showed me his projection TV. It was one of the first models, very expensive, with a very bad picture. That was the late 70s or early 80s. It’s great we have such excellent products nowadays for often reasonable prices.

So true. I bought my first HD Flat Screen about 12 years ago. It is  a 40" Sony that I paid just under $1200 for as a B stock unit at the Sony Outlet store. Today a 4K Smart TV that size can be had for under $300.  (And I said it "is" a Sony because that set is still running in my HT setup as the main TV in our house. It is killing me that it still works because I would love for it to die so I had an excuse to upgrade to a larger 4K unit.  8-[ )

So true. I bought my first HD Flat Screen about 12 years ago. It is  a 40" Sony that I paid just under $1200 for as a B stock unit at the Sony Outlet store. Today a 4K Smart TV that size can be had for under $300.  (And I said it "is" a Sony because that set is still running in my HT setup as the main TV in our house. It is killing me that it still works because I would love for it to die so I had an excuse to upgrade to a larger 4K unit.  8-[ )


Hi tmazz and all.
This might sound unrealistic,
but any products should last a MINIMUM of 20 years
and spare parts and repairs should also be available for 20 years MINIMUM !
My Sony mini receiver CD player  and Cambridge mini sub
are 17 years old and still going strong.

Guy don't get me wrong, I am not surprised nor upset that it is still running. It is just that a part of me would love to get a 55 inch 4K set, but I have a hard time justifying that given that my current set runs perfectly fine.

And I am right with you about long term ownership. I am still running the same ARC preamp and VPI TT that I bought in 1988.

John  Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together

(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71htSurwlmL._SY355_.jpg)

Laserlight CD

When Sesame Street and the Muppets first hit the scene, my mother was just finishing up a degree in early Childhood education. As such we spent a lot of time with Sesame Street on the TV in our house as she was very interested in keeping up with what was at that time some very cutting edge advances in education.

So I was saddened to hear that Carol Spinney, the puppeteer and voice actor who brought us Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch passed away last weekend at age 92. He brought a lot of joy to a lot of children over his long career with Jim Henson and the Muppets.

Rhino CD

Recorded in 2018 (with the exception of one Davey Jones vocal that was done in 1990 and recorded around for this album.)

This CD is proof that some aging rockers can return and put out some nice stuff and others should just enjoy their retirement. This CD is the later. (Although Mickey Dolenz has put out some nice work recently, this is not in that category.)

Luckily I found this in the library and did not have to lay out any cash for it.  :roll:

But it cost me nothing to find out so I said to myself "What the heck, I'll give it a shot."

Well I have to tell you, much to my surprise, Frampton as got some serious Blues chops.

This thread was started before I became a member here, but as of right now I guess you could say that I am the "majority shareholder" here, so I want to weigh in on the concept of off topic posts.

I love them!  IMO the whole point of this thread is to get people thinking. Whether it is about the music, the artists, something musical similar, or anything else that pops into your mind after reading a post I welcome all comments.

If a particular off topic comment starts to spur a lot of discussion then perhaps we should move it to a thread of its own. But I have not seen that happen all too often and it is easy enough to deal with if it does happen.

I grabbed this one out of the quarter bin at Mr. Cheapo's thinking it was church organ music. It turns out it is a theater organ (my bad for not looking closer) and instead of Chirstmas in church this sounds more like Christmas on a Merry-Go-Round or in a 1960s roller rink.

Naughty or Nice - Wonderbra Holiday Favorites

(https://i.imged.com/wonderbra-holiday-favorites-naughty-or-nice-music-cd.jpg)

EMI-Capitol CD

I picked this up because I thought that the whole concept of a Holiday album fro Wonderbra was kind of amusing.  But it turned out to be a very nice collection from both the musical and sonic perspectives.

All in all a collection of very uplifting music.  :lol:

I looked for this on Tidal, but it wasn’t there. Would have been fun to listen to...

Hi all.
This is a first.
Most of you know already that all my CD and vinyl are in storage.
However, I got from a relative two CD of Christmas music.
I am not a fan of Frank Sinatra (But I have to admit that he's a good singer.
I prefer Elvis Presley.
He add something special (His voice of course) to all Christmas music.

Title: Discrepancies within an album
Post by: S Clark on January 11, 2020, 07:33:54 AM
I was listening to Art Farmer and Jim Hall "Interaction" last night.  I friend had loaned me a copy.  He's a big Jim Hall fan, and I'm a big Art Farmer fan.  He had heard a distortion on a number that made him think he had a bad copy, bought another, and heard the same thing, so he sent one home with me for evaluation. 
After a couple of plays, I also heard some issues one number, and upon further play, noticed that the miking was entirely different,  The album cover back it up, listing two recording engineers.  A bit of Google time revealed that the songs were laid down over three session. 
One guy had miked everything much closer, and a bit hot on trumpet and bass (with a bit of distortion).  The other has recessed the drums further and had completely rearranged the band.  It got me wondering what other albums done over multiple takes show the effects of different sound engineeers?  Anyone notice this on other recordings?

I’m telling you, this is a great combo and daily amazed. Low end is excellent. Many of you will give me grief but here goes... work out in the basement to older 80’s disco dance mixes to keep the reps going. Found a few good ones. Donna Summer “I feel love” club mix, sounds just like the club back in day. The Carerras dont miss a thing, low end jumps out and the left to right mixing moves across, top of the speakers. Not kidding when I also say the 3.1 anticables did something with this setup from the moment plugged in. “No &$&@“ came out of my my mouth quite a bit. Hi-Res stream is awesome. Can’t thank Fritz enough.

Pulled out my Mercury Living Presence box set to listen to Janos Starker and the Dvorak Cello Concerto and Henryk Szeryng and the Brahms Violin Concerto.   I've always thought Mercury lp's were like listening in an excellent hall on the 25th row, while RCA's were like being on the 8th row with a more dynamic sound.

Usually big band just doesn't grab me... not so Ellington.  It's always interesting with lots going on under the surface.  Typical Ellington performance... until Paul Gonsalves went off on what may be the greatest jazz solo ever recorded.

In reading the liner note fro the Buddy Guy CD I just posted I learned that at 23 years old Buddy Guy was asked to play in the Muddy Waters sessions hat end up being released at the Folk Singer album. So I just had to go down to the archives and pull out his one......

I suspect no one will agree... but I do so love this album. It actually has more subtle information than maybe any rock album I've heard aside from it. To truly displace the singing voice is something else. There's a lot of small volume changes, and whomever did the recording etc captures the hell out of the "prat" of the guitars and such.

TBH I think it is mastered for not sitting in the "sweetspot". Just a thought. It does sound kinda bass shy when I'm in my chair but when I'm not it sounds amazing.

Huh, I've never heard of that before. Does that happen with any other albums or just this on in particular?

I've been waiting on this.  It feels like a completely different world from when I bought this two weeks ago from a vendor in Japan.
"Quiet Kenny"  by Kenny Dorham.  A 1984 Japanese pressing of a 1959 recording.  Blew a few bucks extra to get an immaculate pressing (almost always money well spent). 
Tommy Flanagan on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, Art Taylor on drums make for a very tight bebop sound

Awesome lineup, especially Mr. Tasty Art Taylor drums.  Along with Cal Tjader they were some of my favorites from the ‘50s and 60’s.  Tjader was one of Brubeck’s goto guys with Ron Crotty on acoustic bass.  Tjader was a killer vibes player, too.

I've done it again! I just discovered an otherwise unknown band called Fattburger. I constantly amaze myself with my uncanny ability to discover bands that have been around for years, yet no one has heard them before.  :rofl:

Okay. I know I'll likely always be a newbie who 'discovers' bands that EVERYBODY has known about for YEARS. I stumbled onto this band because my Tidal had finished playing the Chris Botti album and automatically continued playing similar music. One song was "Spooky", so I glanced at who was playing it. I swear I didn't know about this group until now. I'm playing their songs to get a feel for their sound.

Thanks for being patient with me.

John Coltrane "Dakar" on  Prestige Original Jazz Classics OJC-393   -- Some of which was release in 1957 on experimental 16 1/2 rpm vinyl.

Coltrane, Pepper Adams, Cecil Payne, Doug Watkins, Art Taylor... a really tight group of great players.
This was just the thing for a dreary day in the time of plague, especially the upbeat song "Cat Walk"

Using only tube microphones (Neumann M49), tube sound mixer, tube tape recorder, tube amplifiers, etc. to make this "AAA" analogue recording...

Like the cover says, "Transistorfrei!"

Pretty Cool!

The tube on the cover is the one's used in my Vinnie Rossi L2 Sig. preamp...

I agree, they are a generally under appreciated label.

On the plus side that means that they often fly under the radar and can be picked up for much more reasonable prices than some of the more sought after labels.  ;)

There is so many little pieces by Debussy that you never hear. little gems.  This is a 10" 1951 pressing of Walter Geiseking.  My copy has more noise than I'd like, but the music is so soothing I can listen through the occasional crackles.  These early Columbias can really sparkle, but my experience is that they are light in the low end compared to stuff from the later 50's.

While I was playing mono, I pulled out my Peer Gynt conducted by Artur Rodzinski on Westminster (1955).  This is one of the Laboratory Series W-LAB 7014.  If you aren't familiar with the Lab series, it was Westminsters efforts at audiophile pressings way back in the mid '50s.  They understood the increased distortion as you approached the spindle and the value of wider spacing in the grooves... so, they charged more and gave you less music. The dead wax is usually over an inch wide, so reduced distortion.  It worked.  There is certainly no 1950's weak bass from these pressings.  They are deep, rich, and nuanced.  As with most good things, they have been somewhat discovered and prices are slightly higher than the typical Westminster pressing... but certainly not overpriced. 

The performance is sometimes bordering on slow, as I like Grieg crisp and quick. But it is definitely nuanced and detailed. 
Oh, and one other advantage... since these cost an extra 50 cents, people tended to take better care of them.  Many are in NM condition.

My wife and I were having dinner when she decided to play her music system... "Alexa, play music by Edvard Grieg".  So we listened to all the old war horses, including the SLOWEST piano concerto I've ever heard.  Lacking all the sparkle and virtuosity the big boys like to show off.  But there were charming moments.  So I told her, let's go listen to another version.

I'm pretty happy with the way it turn out.  The most labor intensive thing was getting all the cigarette smoke out of it!  I swabbed all surfaces, inside and out, with naptha then alcohol.  Cleaned the pots, all tube sockets, changed a few caps.  Not bad for a $100 find.  I still need to do a more thorough restoration.... one day.

Admittedly, it took me quite a while to appreciate Miles Davis, but I think my ears have finally matured enough to grok his music. I began the morning listening to a TIDAL mix of mellow Jazz songs from various artists. The third or fourth song was Generique by Miles Davis. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to listen to the entire "Ascenseur pour l'echafaud" album. WOW!  :shock: Holy shit!! This is fantastic.

I listened to these two Anne Bisson albums because I liked the Direct to Disc LP of hers called "Four Seasons in Jazz Live at Bernie's" that I heard last year at CAF.

Unfortunately neither of these albums really did anything for me musically. But nothing ventured, nothing gained. At least they were both a free listen on Tidal.

A 1957 London pressing of the operetta based on Granados "Goyescas" with the National Orchestra of Spain.  Very clean recording.
Kinda strange to create an opera from a handful of piano pieces, but that's what they did.  I like the piano better, but I'm not really an opera guy.
It's got the booklet of the lyrics in Spanish and English so you can follow along. 
Granados went to NYC in 1916 to perform these little pieces.  Returning to Spain his ship was torpedoed by a German sub.  He drowned trying to save his wife.  He was in his prime as a composer and the world lost no telling how many masterpieces from his early death.
This is an interesting version of one of them...   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jo8S6mTbfs

Pulled out a copy of Tchaikovsky's 4th Sym on an old D.G.  red box, tulips pressing from 1960.  I'd forgotten how full the orchestra is in this recording... truly a great one.  So I decided to write a blurb recommending it.. went to Discogs to see what an early pressing would set someone back   :shock:.  Let's just say that a good one was stupid $$$.  However, if you find a copy at the local record store like I did, pick it up for two bucks.

DG   SLPM 138 657  By Mravinsky and the Leningrad Philharmonic recorded in Wembly Hall in England by Deutsche G.  This was one of the early "goodwill tours" sponsored by Kruschev to win favor with the West.  What is it about those English churches that make such spacious recordings?

Just hit the street this week, this never-before-released studio album by Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers was recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's Hackensack, New Jersey studio on March 8, 1959. It features the legendary drummer-whose centennial is being celebrated this year-along with trumpeter Lee Morgan, tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley, pianist Bobby Timmons, and bassist Jymie Merritt. The 6-song set includes 2 previously unissued compositions: "Quick Trick" and "Jimerick."

Roon popped this up as a listening suggestion at the end of the Blakey album. I looked around and have found is as a streaming selection on Tidal, Amazon and Spotify, but cannot find any references to it on physical media, so perhaps it is an electronic only release.

No matter I am really enjoying it either way.

Duke Ellington  "Newport 1958"  on Columbia CL1245 6 eye pressing. 
By 1958 big bands were not the cool stuff anymore, and had lost most of there following... but Ellington was still relevant.  Led by Johnny Hodges and Paul Gonsalves on sax, Shorty Baker and Clark Terry on trumpet, the virtuosity of his players was top drawer.  And that's before you add Gerry Mulligan to the group.  This is a great lp.

In looking at the Wikipedia page about it what really amazed me is that 8 out of the 11 tracks on this album were recorded in June of 1970, just one month before the LP hit the streets.

Taking a hide from the virus vacation Sunday with wife and RN daughter (the real reason is to get her a few days off from death and this damn virus)- so where are we going?  Galveston, just in time to catch the edge of the hurricane... so, tonight I'm listening to Dave Wilcox... "Eye of the Hurricane"

Good morning, Nick.  I'm watching and listening to the surf as I type.  The weather has been really lovely (considering a hurricane hit down the coast a few days ago)... showers followed by scattered clouds and plenty of sun.  Best of all, my daughter is getting a nice break from working in the Covid unit at her hospital.

Vi Redd, her first of only 2 albums she ever recorded as leader.
Bird Call (United Artists, 1962), has 10 tunes: 5 instrumentals, 1 was a vocal, and she both sang and played on 4 others.
Her sound on this album is very reminiscent of Charlie Parker, who would've been 100yrs old this year.

Mannheim Steamroller: Exotic Spaces

(https://s3.amazonaws.com/broadtime_thumbnails/777/418458370777/418458370777%3A500.jpg)

American Gramaphone CD

The last new release from Chip Davis and the folks at American Gramaphone. Great sonics with a strong bass line and a large and well defined soundstage that will definitely put your system to the test.

That said Mannheim Steamroller is the kind of music that you either like or you don't, or maybe used to like but have gotten tired of because you think it all sounds the same. So if you are (still) a fan you will enjoy this album. If not you will at best think of it as a good evaluation disc.

Bravura CD

This live recording, done in Australia in 1959 was reissued by Blue Note several years later, remastered by Mark Levinson using Cello equipment.

The SQ on the Blue Note is a step up, still not great, but better than this Bravura release.

More for a Sinatra collector looking for this show on a historical basis than for an audiophile.

Released in 2019 this was the first album of original material that The Who had put out in 13 years.

Although both in their mid 70s (I guess Pete did not get his wish to die before he got old) Townshend and Daltry still bring the best in each other and this album still has the definite sound and feel of a Who album. Bottom line, the boys still got it.

Tidal Streaming.

I was perusing Tidal and came across this album, which came out last year, but I had somehow missed all this time.

The first cut caught my eye, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice". and yes it is that The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Just think Paul Dukas with a twist of Dark Side of the Moon and you will be in the right place.

It was a fun listen. Stylistically it is very reminiscent of the sounds of the original Alan Parsons Project.

Tidal Masters 96

I came across this 1958 release on Tidal. I had never heard of it nor come across it in a record store before, but late 50s Miles is right up my alley so I was very excited to give it a spin. Well I was no disappointed at all. This is a great album. Musically is is in a similar style to Kind of Blue, which is pretty good company to keep. This on will be sitting right close to the top of the pile when it comes to Miles albums.

If you have never heard it it is well worth searching for. Available on Tidal, Qobuz and Amazon music and I am pretty sure it will be found on other streaming services as well.

Tidal Streaming

Recorded during Arlo's 2004 Australian tour.

I have seen him in person a number of times and this album really recreates the whole experience of a Arlo concert. If the producers had cut the 21 minutes of Arlo's talking in between songs, this could have been a single 80 minute CD. Luckily they went for the extra $1.00 in production expense and gave the complete package. After all, Arlo w/o him going off on his verbal tangents just isn't Arlo. Kinda like an Oreo without milk.

And the fact that it has very good SQ  just completes the package.

Walt Disney Records 5 CD Box Set

My wife is a big fan of It's a Small World and this set has an entire CD dedicated to that ride so I jumped all over this when I saw it at a garage sale this afternoon.

I was only a preschooler during the years of the fair, but this still brings back memories of the two trips I made there with my parents.

I paid $1 for this set and it was still sealed in the shrink wrap. I was looking for the album art to put in this post the only place I saw on line that had any for sale was Amazon, and they were asking $300  for it!!!!   OUCH  #-o

And yes, I found this out after I had opened the set to play it for my wife.   :roll:

And like most Disney recordings that I have heard this one really has some top shelf SQ. Disney never goes half way on anything.

Walt Disney Records 5 CD Box Set

My wife is a big fan of It's a Small World and this set has an entire CD dedicated to that ride so I jumped all over this when I saw it at a garage sale this afternoon.

I was only a preschooler during the years of the fair, but this still brings back memories of the two trips I made there with my parents.

I paid $1 for this set and it was still sealed in the shrink wrap. I was looking for the album art to put in this post the only place I saw on line that had any for sale was Amazon, and they were asking $300  for it!!!!   OUCH  #-o

And yes, I found this out after I had opened the set to play it for my wife.   :roll:

And like most Disney recordings that I have heard this one really has some top shelf SQ. Disney never goes half way on anything.

When I was a youngster, I would watch The Wonderful World of Disney every Sunday night on NBC. Having lived in California for many years, i’m very familiar with the Mr. Lincoln exhibit and It’s a Small World. The last time I was in Disneyland was during the Christmas season a couple of years ago. The It’s a Small World ride was decorated especially beautifully for the holidays and it’s also the only time that I’d ever attended during the Christmas season. Being there with family made that visit the most memorable ever.

Tidal Masters 48

Recorded live during the band's 40th Anniversary Tour.

Got a free set of tickets from Tidal and went to the opening show of this tour with StereoNut. No seats, but our standing room spots were in the second row about 10 feet right of dead center.


The show was in a small  Long Island clubs that was the first place that the band auditioned for a paying gig when they were in high school. After listening to them the owner turned them down, saying that nobody would want to listen to that rockabilly stuff.  Kicking of their 40th anniversary tour in that club was the boy's way of saying FU to that owner.   :rofl:

Tidal MQA 96

Another of today's new releases.

Like most tapes that have been "lost" for decades, there is a reason. While this album is enjoyable from a musical perspective the SQ is just not up to snuff. Ella fans will like it for the sake of collection completeness, but if you are looking for a good live Ella album, stick with "Mack the Knife - Ella in Berlin" which was released two years prior to this recording.

Schedule to be released later this week I caught this on a special preview broadcast on Sirius/XM.

From the 2018 tour when Glen Frey's son joined the group to take his father's place.

Sounded good through earbuds and my phone, but of course the real test will be when I can play it through the main system

This has been on the TAS SuperDisc list for as long as I can remember, but in all that time I have never heard it.  Even harder to find that a copy of Casino Royale was back in the day. I have seen copies available online but never put my eyes on a physical copy at a record store or show. So when I saw it on Tidal I figured it was time to give it a whirl.

Nice SQ and as for the music, it is about what you would expect from the soundtrack from a western movie. Not something I see my self listeing to on a regular basis, but good enough for me to sit through the entire album and appreciate it.

As Capt Kirk he attempted to protect the universe, but with this album I think he is trying to kill the blues.

I'm sorry, but I am having trouble finding the words to describe exactly how bad the album is.

Brand new from Dave Brubeck. The title says it all. No toe tapping jazz here. All of the arrangements are slowed down and very mellow.

As Capt Kirk he attempted to protect the universe, but with this album I think he is trying to kill the blues.

I'm sorry, but I am having trouble finding the words to describe exactly how bad the album is.

Shatner may have many talents, but if this album is any indication, music is not among them.  :roll:


Well, it was interesting to listen to a few songs.... There are more Shatner albums on Tidal including one that has a song called ... Beam Me Up

Well, I would say it’s a combination of speaking and sometimes shouting. But I’m still a big fan of Star Trek and Mr Shatner  :thumb:
It also reminds me of Clint Eastwood singing/talking in Paint Your Wagon....which I enjoyed and was unique at that time. I think that movie goes back to the 60s...

Just got my copy of Art Blakey "Night at Birdland" Vol2 w/ Horace Silver, Clifford Brown, Lou Donaldson, and Curly Russell.
So many giants playing together in a club. What a trip it would have been to be able to hear that in person.  Even listening to the mono LP is pretty darn good.

A friend mentioned that he had a Blue Note stereo copy, which sent me to Google to do some research.  "A Night at Birdland" was recorded in Feb. 1954, way before Blue Note was doing stereo recordings.  Rudy van Gelder (chief engineer) didn't even own a two track deck until 1957... so some the early stereo releases from the late 50's and early 60's that were re-releases of popular mono recordings were based off of the one track master tapes.   They were some sort of signal manipulation.  So if looking at early Blue Notes, be aware that stereo releases of performances before '57 may not be what you think they are.

It was on this day in 2012 that Dave Brubeck passed away, just 1 day shy of his 92nd birthday. That means tomorrow will be the 100th anniversary of his birth.

In memory of the man that brought Jazz into the mainstream it is time for a memorial spin of the album that pretty much kicked that off.

Horace Silver "6 Pieces of Silver" Blue Note 1539.  A nice vinyl from 1956.  Silver, a young Donald Byrd, Hank Mobley, Doug Watkins, and an 18 year old Louis Hayes on drums.  These old Blue Note mono lp's really come to life with a mono cartridge (and a mono cartridge is more forgiving of surface noise).

Bernstein -  Copland Appalacian Spring, El Salon Mexico on a Columbia 2 eye the mid '60's. 
Not my fav Appalacian Spring, but El Salon Mexico is a fine performance.   The lesser known "Music for Theater" is a bit of Copland with a heavy dose of Gershwin added for flavor.

Released at midnight tonight and I was streaming it at 12:30 (and the only reason I waited that long was because I was watching Jimmy Fallon interview McCartney on the Tonight Show. Only had the chance to give it a quick listen via headphones, but so far I like what I hear.

In keeping with the tradition set in the McCartney and McCartney II albums this is a true solo album, Paul does all the vocals and plays every instrument himself.

All of the songs on this album were written and recorded during the Covid lockdown.

Acoustic Sounds has given up on selling high res files and put everything on sale right before they did. I picked up a whole bunch of top shelf DSD recordings.   8)

These 2xHD releases are native DSD recordings sourced from the original analog master tapes. Great SQ.

John Fogerty: Weeping in the Promised Land

Tidal Streaming

New Single just released this week.

From Stereogum:

Unlike some of his surviving ’60s rock peers, John Fogerty remains a stand-up guy — the kind of legend who would never write protest songs about being asked to stay at home during a pandemic. Instead, Fogerty, the great rock howler and former Creedence Clearwater Revival leader, has stayed true to his lefty past. He’s part of the Neil Young school. Last year, when Donald Trump was playing “Fortunate Son” at rallies, Fogerty jumped on TikTok with his granddaughter to clarify what that song was and is about. Today, Fogerty’s got a new song that reaffirms where Fogerty stands.

Fogerty’s new single “Weeping In The Promised Land” is a gospel-inflected piano ballad about the fucked-up year that just ended. Fogerty’s lyrics are all allegory — he refers to Trump as “Pharaoh” throughout — but his lyrics make clear reference to the pandemic and to the police murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. In the video, a contemplative Fogerty plays piano on a hilltop, and we see images of protests and people at prayer.

I also have remakes of the album in A Capella, Jazz, Orchestral, String Quartet, Reggae, Punk versions as well one by a Bluegrass Jug band (called Dark Side of the Moonshine.)

I call it a collection, my wife calls it an obsession.  :lol:

From Amazon:

"For the past 16 years those who have gone to see the Penn & Teller show at the Rio in Las Vegas have been entertained before the show by the Mike Jones Duo. Jones is joined by a disguised hip looking bassist in a hat who is actually the taller half of the act they all came to see, Penn Jillette. The Show Before the Show was recorded live at the Penn & Teller Theater capturing the musical magic before the prestidigitation begins. The duo weaves their way through a variety of standards from the great American songbook and one original by Jones. "

Moody Bluegrass: A Nashville Tribute to the Moody Blues

This is just another example of what I love about Tidal & Qobuz. Here is an album that if I saw in the store would have caught my eye, but I never would have paid $10 -$15 for somethig I had never heard, or even heard of. But on Tidal if something looks interesting it costs nothing to give it a try, and I have found a lot of good music that I never would have taken a chance on otherwise.

This is one such album. It turned out to be very well done and quite enjoyable.  This was not just a bunch of amateurs throwing something together, it was done by some of Nashville's top musicians.  In the same way I enjoy jazz interpretations of popular songs, other musical types can be fun as well.

From AllMusic.com:

With all of the other countless tongue-in-cheek bluegrass renderings of classic rock radio staples, it's hard not to toss off producer/mandolin player David Harvey's irony-free reimagining of the Moody Blues' greatest hits as just another campfire novelty meant to be pulled out during the more inebriated portion of the evening. However, when the project attracts a session band that includes Alison Krauss, Sam Bush, Lionel Cartwright, and Tim O'Brien -- just to name a few -- what was once an exercise in high camp turns into a lovingly crafted tribute that's as reverent as it is whimsical. Harvey's love for the group is obvious -- he gets kudos for including overlooked gems like "Land of Make Believe" and "Late Lament" -- as the track order mimics the veteran band's typical live set, even utilizing their trademark opener, "Lovely to See You," as the leadoff cut. What follows is surprisingly heartfelt and poignant. Who knew that "The Voice" and "Your Wildest Dreams" were far better country songs than rock songs? Why does the druggy epic "Legend of a Mind" sound so much less insipid in the hands of a bunch of Nashville studio musicians? Probably because they saw past all of the Mellotrons, precious song cycles, and spoken word pretense and dug out the intangible spark that made these songs hits in the first place.

Very interesting album. Being a longtime Steely Dan fan, I've heard of this album, but I've never actually listened to it in it's entirety! I've only heard I.G.Y. and none of the other tracks.

I picked this album up on the 1st day of it's original release and as such I have an early copy of the first pressing, which I always though sounded great. The MoFi is a little better, but I don't know if there would be a bigger difference if comparing it to something latter in the press runs of the Warner Bros LP.

This is a live recording of the jazz duo that played during the pre-show music for Penn and Tellers magic show in Vegas. While the music was playing the audience was invited to go up on stage and examine the boxes that Penn and Teller used as stage props during the show to make sure that they were just ordinary boxes, thus the name of the album.

My wife and I saw this show then they took it on the road and made a stop on Long Island. It was great. Penn and teller are my favorite magicians and I would go and see them again any time they are in town. The don't do the most elaborate magic, but they are extremely entertaining, and isn't that the point of any show? My son is a member of the Society of American Magicians and we know how pretty much every one of their tricks are done and we still enjoy the heck out of their performances.

(https://img.discogs.com/H5Wkrg6wffoHpBrBBtdzJDyPINs=/fit-in/600x600/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-16554915-1608470704-1783.jpeg.jpg)

Tidal Streaming

5 CD Set (the physical box set also contains 2 LPs and 2 Blu-Ray discs). Includes a 2020 remastering of the original album, a 2020 remixing of the original album, the 2020 new recording of the entire album (released last fall as Tea for the Tillerman2), but what I am listing to now and really enjoying are the last twp discs, one containing outtakes and demos and the other full of live performances from the early 70s.

A dulcimer is one of my favorite instruments. I have CDs that, are dulcimer, hammered dulcimer and zither. I’m not sure what the differences are.

IF you like ‘Frankenstein’ from this album, check out Marcus Miller’s version on an album called ‘Silver Rain’. I can’t speak for the rest of the album, but the version on Tidal is great- sounds excellent and deserves to be played at your ‘eleven’.

That's some classic jazz you're listening to there, Tmazz.  Clap Hand is a great album, and Bud Shanks doesn't get the credit he deserves.

I was listening to Diana Krall to see what all the hubbub is about, and I know it’s sacrilege, but this saved me. DK just doesn’t do it for me. There, I said it... I’ll duck now!

While looking for the Ella ‘Clap Hands’ I came across the same album name by Karl Drewo on Tidal. This keeps Tmazz in his paisley robe status at the Playboy Mansion. If you like sax it’s worth a listen.

No reason to duck.  Ms. Krall is talented, but she's no Ella Fitzgerald- but then, I don't think anyone is.

Another excellent sounding release from the folks at Groove Note.

But while the sonics are first rate, and I am sure I will be hearing this one quite a bit whenever we start to do audio shows again, I did not care for it musically as much as her previous albums.

A live all acoustic show. Normally I am a fan of these "unplugged" type albums, but in this case the acoustic arrangements are so overly busy that they become a distraction and IMO take away from, rather than add to the songs themselves.

Very interesting, Nick. Never heard of her, but Andre Rieu, I have. Very clean singing, as is to be expected given her background. A classically trained soprano who does pop-crossover.  Wow, youngest Sutherland competition winner. I'd like to hear how she sings opera, but it seems there are no recordings outside of a few pieces live!

Paul,
I haven’t had much time to search. but have enjoyed what I’ve heard so far. I also heard a little bit of a Christmas album she did and she sings German and French phonetically.
If you do find some opera, I’d enjoy hearing your thoughts and your wife’s as well. Are you just looking at eutube or do you have Spotify or something similar?

Jim,
Found and listened to both on Roon. Not my cuppa, but was fun to do. Yours are ballads and I like melodic more. Probably because of my bygone ballroom dancing days. It’s strange as I would think copyright issues would prevent use of the same title, but for completely different songs.

If you like blues with a twist of I Don’t Know What?- New Orleans maybe? Give this a listen. Came across this album on Tidal somehow...
He’s got a Leadbelly song cd that is also outstanding.

Silvertone CD

The title of this album is spot on. Buddy Guy is one of the last live shows I saw before the pandemic hit and I have to say, if you have never seen Buddy play live make it a bucket list item while he is still healthy enough to tour. His live shows are a tour de force that simply should not be missed. This CD does a good job of capturing some of that magic.

Telarc CD

I picked this out of the quarter bin because it was from Telarc but is turns out to be fairly generic pop music. Not bad but something I will probably never listen to again, so it is not worthy of my quickly diminishing shelf space. This one will be heading off to a new home at the Crack House.

Eric is one of the nicest people that I gave had the pleasure to meet... ever.  His aunt lived in Albuquerque and he has played here many, many times over the years.  We've seen him over 20 times over the years and he was always ready to engage.  A humble, genuine guy.

When we went on the Joe Bonamassa Blues Cruise that he played on, he recognized us and came over to talk.  We had dinner with him and it was very special.  He is a people person and values relationships.  Truly one of the good people in music.  I look forward to the next time...  hopefully.

Turney joined the Duke Ellington Orchestra in 1969 as a backup and eventual replacement for Johnny Hodges, whose health was starting to fail him.

Musically a very enjoyable album wit the first rate sound we have come to expect from Mapleshade recordings.

What a find!  Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention... It's like Billy Joel has been touched by the ghost of Chopin and transported to Paris in 1920 to drink Absinthe with Eric Satie and Claude Debussey. 
This is one I'll have to find a copy of and add to my collection.

Billy Joel & Richard Joo: Fantasies and Delusions -  Music for Solo Piano

(https://img.discogs.com/sZ7RqtziSl_0bOIR5epw6ltNhzs=/fit-in/600x594/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-6521280-1421139992-8220.jpeg.jpg)

Columbia CD

Wow, the Piano Man really has some Classical chops. I was impressed.  :clap:
What a find!  Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention... It's like Billy Joel has been touched by the ghost of Chopin and transported to Paris in 1920 to drink Absinthe with Eric Satie and Claude Debussey. 
This is one I'll have to find a copy of and add to my collection. 
...Amazon has my money and I'll have the cd tomorrow.

When I put it on my wife thought ti was Chopin as well.

I heard and interview with Billy Joel on the radio not so long ago where he was talking about the process writing and arranging songs in very detailed technical musical terms. I was absolutely shocked with the depth of his technical knowledge about music.  He grew up not to far from me and I know several people who went to high school with him so all said he was a borderline drop out playing in whatever rock band he had put together at the time and not caring much about school at all. So I had always had this impression of him as a rock and roller who just banged out rock songs through his innate talent alone. But in listening to this the way he talked in that interview he sounded more like a Julliard graduate than a rocker. I don't know if he is self taught or got himself some formal music training along the way, but he really knows his stuff.

I'm glad you enjoy the album, because as I have said before sharing our discoveries is what this thread is all about. My eyes, or should I say ears, have been opened to many things that I would not have given a second though to if not for posts here and I am very happy to pay that forward.  :thumb:

‘Realization’, an album by Johnny Rivers made in 1968. I really like the vibe here. He is so much more than the ‘Secret Agent Man’ song he is known for. Atmospheric, and as always, maybe not your cuppa, but a few great covers here as well- Hey Joe, Whiter Shade of Pale, and Positively 4th Street. ‘Summer Rain’ I believe was the ‘hit’ from the album.
I’ve given up on posting pictures here, so my verbiage will have to suffice... Along with an AllMusic review.

Kind of Blue.  The quintessential jazz classic. 
A friend brought over his Japanese pressing to compare to my original late 50's 6 eye Columbia... no comparison at all.  The Japanese pressing was far superior, and not just newer quieter vinyl.  The drums were more lively, the instruments better placed, better defined.  I've got to ask him where he got it when he comes by tomorrow.

Then, just for grins,  Chick Corea "My Spanish Heart"
Reading the credits I noticed for the first time is a Bob Ludwig.

The critics wee not kind to this album, but it sold well and actually went Gold, and I enjoyed it.

Wow.  You're really on a Mercury binge!  Several years back I bought an amp from a fellow who had collected the entire Mercury Living Presence catalogue except for 2 or 3 titles.  I find their sound musical and spacious, a bit more relaxed than their RCA peers.  It's also harder to find clean Mercury pressings, in my experience.  But with streaming, I guess that's not an issue.   :thumb:

Yes, I can get into binge listening sometimes  :lol:  I certainly enjoyed the quality of the Mercury recordings and another label that does a nice job as well is Polydor. I’ve read the articles on streaming quality vs playing the CDs, but I don’t see myself getting a player again. The convenience of streaming has won me over  :thumb:

There are soooo many...

LSC 1806  Also Sprach Zarathustra  Reiner and the Chicago Sym
LSC 2068  Rachmaninoff 2nd Concerto   Rubenstein and Reiner
LSC 2225  Witch's Brew  a TAS list standby
LSC 2285  Walton Facade    great sound
LSC 2323  Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsikov  Capricio Italienne and Espagnol
LSC 2336  Finlandia Sibelius   really nice
LSC 2424 4 Seasons  Vivaldi
LSC 2436 Pines of Rome Respighi  - legendary.  First pressing mixed too hot for the cartridges of the early 60's so they remixed it.  With modern styli it's the stuff of legends.  I've never heard a 1S copy, but I've got one of the later stampers and it's still amazingly good. 
There are probably 30 more...

A critical review said Heifetz doesn't play the violin, he tortures it.  I think it just amazingly bold.

What is your favorite Haydn piece?  He's a composer I could never learn to appreciate, but I'm willing to try again.

I'm not sure that I can say I have a particular favorite Haydn piece. I usually listen to Haydn as general chill out music. I find it very relaxing and pretty much any of his music will do towords that end. However I would say that I think his Surprise Symphony (No. 94) is probably his most recognizable work.

It was hard to find clean quiet Mercury pressings even when they were new.

If anyone is looking for some of these LPs my recommendation it to  look for some of the reissues. Quite a few of the MLP LPs were reissued by Speakers Corner, Classic Records and more recently even Mercury itself (on180g vinyl.) You are much more likely to find a clean pressing from the reissue group and even with the inflated prices they get for some of the reissues that are out of print you are still likely to pay considerably less than you would for a clean original pressing.

And if you see any SACD titles that you  like for a decent price grab them because the going rates for the now all out of print Mercury LP SACDs is going up on a steady basis. The RCA Living Stereo SACDs can still be had for a reasonable price. I guess they sold more of them when they were first out so they are easier to find and therefore cheaper than the Mercuries. Most of the RCAs are selling for less than the MSRP while the Mercuries, when you can find then regularly sell for multiples of their original price. Just plain old supply and demand.

Or you could just stream them.

But I have found them not to be easy to find on the streaming services like Tidal. I have had the best luck by searching on the conductor and orchestra and then just picking the MLS and/or RCA Living Stereo titles out of their total body of work

Smoke from a Distant Fire topped out at #9 on the Billboard charts and the band supported it by performing as the opening act for Fleetwood Mac on the Rumours tour as well as playing with Marshal Tucker, Charlie Daniels, Jimmy Buffett, Foreigner and Heart. But in spite of all that exposure on the road the group was never again able to crack the Top 40, earning them the title of being yet another "One Hit Wonder."

Just as an aside, there is a link to a Wikipedia page about the one hit wonders from 1955 through 2017. I had a lot of "oh wow" moments as I read through that list.

The Best of Blue Note  BST2 84429.  This is a late 80's French pressing of a Blue Note compilation of "greatest hits".  Many don't like the French blue notes... good, that makes them more affordable and they sound great. 
Imagine a side that features Moanin' w/ Art Blakey,  Blues Walk w/Lou Donaldson, and Song for my Father w/Horace Silver.   And it's a double album, and the other 3 sides are just as good.
I got my copy for $4.

Columbia CD

A collection of Bob Dylan songs played by various artists.

I saw this at the library and picked it up because I saw the LP versions of this selling for high prices on ebay , $75+ for a standard pressing, $130+ for the Classic Records 140g version and 200+ for the Classic 200g release.

I was curious to see what the fuss was about this album.

Well it was OK, worth a listen, but I certainly wouldn't run out and drop that kind of money on a copy. There is a lot of other stuff I would buy first.

Glad I took the time to listen, but also glad that I did not need to pay for that privilege.

DSD sourced from an Audio Fidelity SACD

Older brother of Stanley, Tommy worked mostly as a sideman. This is the only album he got to record as a leader before ill heath forced him into an early retirement.

Musically an enjoyable album with very clear SQ. My only nit pick with the album is that it is complete ping pong stereo with absolutely no center fill. But that was pretty typical of 2 track stereo albums back when this was made in 1960. While I noticed the lack of center fill it did not detract from my ability to enjoy the music. I would say that this one is a keeper.

DSD sourced from a Linn SACD

I was very disappointed in this one. Musically it was OK, but not great. The sound of the music itself was rather veiled and the sound stage was quite dark and provided no sense of the hall at all. I was like the musicians were playing in a vacuum. I have quite a few Linn recordings and this one fell far shot of the SQ I have come to expect from them.  :(

Latest find at the record store..  Alex de Grassi  "Turning-turning back"  I used to listen to a lot of "new age" records 35 years ago.  I'm finding I still enjoy them.

I thought I had most of de Grassi's Windham Hill albums, but this one seems to have eluded me.

Luckily I found it on Tidal and it is now on my list of things to catch up on.  :thumb:

My wife got this SACD for me as a Father's Day gift.

Chad and his crew did an excellent job remastering this for SACD from the original 3 track tapes. (I have yet to listen to the full 3 track layer on my HT system.)

Outstanding SQ and of course a legendary performance.

Reference Recordings LP

That's such a fine recording.  Several years back Jim D. Goulding and I sat in his living room playing his vinyl of that performance back to back with my Sound 80  with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra.  He agreed that they were comparable in sound quality, yet very different performances.  Copland originally wrote Appalachian Spring for a chamber orchestra.  The smaller, much more intimate performance just does something different/better for me. 
And the Reference Recording version is pricey, while the Sound 80 flies under the radar selling NM for under $15 shipped.  It's still my favorite for picking out instrument placement.

I miss Tower Records. There used to be one on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood. Not sure when it shut down. A great place to enjoy music and just hang out on occasion.

I sure miss them as well. I spent many Saturdays wandering through the store on 4th and Broadway in Manhattan. Every couple of months I would head into the city with an audio buddy or two and make a day trip to Tower. Not only did they have a huge store, but they also had a gigantic Classical Clearance Annex in the building next store. You could spend a day in there alone going through aisles and aisle  of cutouts (although the name was the classical annex they eventually ended up carrying all kinds of closeout albums there.)

Tower declared bankruptcy and closed all of their stores in 2006.  There is a good documentary on the rise and fall of Tower Records called All Things Must Pass. You can get it on Amazon, but I found it in my local library.

I sure miss them as well. I spent many Saturdays wandering through the store on 4th and Broadway in Manhattan. Every couple of months I would head into the city with an audio buddy or two and make a day trip to Tower. Not only did they have a huge store, but they also had a gigantic Classical Clearance Annex in the building next store. You could spend a day in there alone going through aisles and aisle  of cutouts (although the name was the classical annex they eventually ended up carrying all kinds of closeout albums there.)

Tower declared bankruptcy and closed all of their stores in 2006.  There is a good documentary on the rise and fall of Tower Records called All Things Must Pass. You can get it on Amazon, but I found it in my local library.

Thanks for that, Tom. I have calendared this for next Saturday night when I’m back home. Normally I don’t rent movies, but I’ll gladly do it this time as it brings back so many good memories.

So "the pool" is nothing more than inflatable kiddie pool for my 4 year old grandson. At the end of the day I need to take it down so it doesn't burn the grass. This afternoon my wife decided it had been hot all day and the vegetables and flowers needed watering and since we had to empty the pool anyway, it would be ecological thing to do to use the pool water for that purpose. So she went into the garage and came back with buckets for us to scoop water out of the pool and put it into the gardens. Watching my grandson very proudly scoop water out of the pool and march across the yard with it gave me an idea and I grabbed my iPad and had Roon play the Sorcerer's Apprentice on the patio speakers. The three of us then proceeded to spend the next 12 minutes scooping water to the music of Paul Dukas. It was a cute scene.

Unfortunately his parents came to pick him up before I had a chance to play the section of the Fantasia DVD and connect the dots for him, but I will do that some day soon, as we must educate the next generation.

I sure miss them as well. I spent many Saturdays wandering through the store on 4th and Broadway in Manhattan. Every couple of months I would head into the city with an audio buddy or two and make a day trip to Tower. Not only did they have a huge store, but they also had a gigantic Classical Clearance Annex in the building next store. You could spend a day in there alone going through aisles and aisle  of cutouts (although the name was the classical annex they eventually ended up carrying all kinds of closeout albums there.)

Tower declared bankruptcy and closed all of their stores in 2006.  There is a good documentary on the rise and fall of Tower Records called All Things Must Pass. You can get it on Amazon, but I found it in my local library.

I saw the documentary tonight. Very well done and brought back many memories of talking music with the store clerks and spending some Friday and Saturday nights there with my best buds.
Too bad they’re no longer around, except, apparently in Japan. The title of the documentary says it all.

Yup, those were the days weren't they?

Now we have pretty much the entire catalog of what would be stocked at Tower, if it was open today, right at our fingertips via Tidal etc. But somehow it's just not the same.

At least for now, if you live on the west coast there is still Amoeba.

When you say the quality of the pressing as in the actual quality of the discs manufacturing itself (like freedom from clicks and pops, or the overall sound quality of the release itself, including not only the manufacturing but the recording and mastering as well (as in which had the best musical experience)?

And just for the records  :lol:, I don't consider the last 12 albums posted as being an all that valuable set in that 78 out of the 12 at still in print and available at the original MSRP. And while evrn at the original prices they are not cheap it is certainly a lot less that if the last 12 were all out of print audiophile albums that are now fetching collectors prices.  :roll:

Tidal just released two singles from Patricia Barber's upcoming album "Clique"(release date 8/6/21.

The songs, This Town and All is Fair in Love are good both musically and sonically, but what really caught my attention is that they are MQA encoded files that unpack to the full DXD (352/24) format (352/24), which was verified by the display on my DAC.

I never realized that MQA could go that high. It was my impression that MQA topped out at 192/24.

This could be an interesting development.

The album is being offered as an MQA encoded CD, although that will not do me any good as my DAC will only do MQA via the USB input and my CD layer lacks a USB output.

Just got this in from Japan, Art Pepper "Live from the Village Vanguard".  3 LP box set, Japanese King Records, promo.  They pressed several thousand; this one is #0079. 
This is from 3nights in 1977, a few years after Pepper was released from the penitentiary for drug charges.  His tone was tougher, less "pretty".  It's a more hard bop sound... for me, some of it hits, some not  so much.

Analogue Productions 200g, 2 LP Set


After two outstanding shows with Lady Gaga at Radio City Music Hall, Tony Bennett's son announce that they were cancelling the rest of his tour.  While he was great on stage it seems that the traveling involved with the shows proved to be just too exhausting for him and his doctors recommended that he give up touring. While this is disappointing, it is not surprising. What the heck, he is 95 years old.

Today is my 7th Wedding Anniversary.

Meredith & I used the first cut of of this album, For Sentimental Reasons as our weeding song.

Congratulations, Tom and many more

Thanks

And beside the personal link I have to it, that is a great album both from the musical and the SQ sides of the fence.

Tom,
This is really a nice album. I can also see why you picked that first cut. I’m out of town and listening on my iPad  :thumb:

Dion … The Complete Laurie Singles Set …. streamed via Roon.
I had never heard of the Laurie Record label before… found this description on Wikipedia

Laurie Records was a record label started in New York City in 1958 by brothers Robert and Gene Schwartz, and Allan I. Sussel. Among the most famous and successful recording artists on Laurie's roster were Dion and the Belmonts (both together and as separate acts), The Chiffons, The Jarmels, The Mystics, Bobby Goldsboro, and The Royal Guardsmen.

I trade emails with him every once in a while. The last I spoke with him his stereo exploits were pretty much on hold. They were doing some work on his house and as a result of the changes he was going to relocating his stereo to another room (what we don't do for domestic tranquility...  :roll:), so he was waiting until all that was done and would then see what he had to do to the system to make it work with the new space.

Hopefully we will start hearing from him again when he gets back into stereo mode.

In one of our recent conversations he was also very happy because they ran fiber into his neighborhood and he could get rid of the crappy DSL and finally get some decent high speed internet service.  :thumb:

I can understand how he feels. I am very spoiled with my Gigabyte Fios service. I can remember back in the days of dial-up modems when I once had to download a 5Mb driver file and it took several hours. Last night I purchased a album from HDTT in DSD256. It was sent to me as a 4.4 Gb zip file and I downloaded the whole thing in under 3 minutes!

It was sent to me as a 4.4 Gb zip file and I downloaded the whole thing in under 3 minutes!

It’s good to know the professor is doing well. It’s such a shame that men have to suffer such audio grief just to maintain domestic bliss 😱

As to your fios service speed…wow. I just get internet over a line of sight tower. It nicely handles my internet, music streaming and Hulu tv subscription.

A series of music beds made for a PBS series on the Valles Caldera here in NM by my friend Matt Pavolaitis.  Matt is an Emmy winning composer/engineer that I had the priviledge of mentoring at Santa Fec Center Studios back in the late 90's. His talents are many.  He composed all of the music and played keys and guitar on these tracks.

Great music to chill by...

I don't have the original Riverside CD, but I do have a copy of the K2 Super Coding 20 bit Remaster

(https://img.discogs.com/N3rx2G308dLJiSgBj8pxGOhhybg=/fit-in/600x536/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-1844866-1265925289.jpeg.jpg)

Compared to the DSD, the K2 sounds kind of flat from an imaging perspective. It is as if it was a picture being projected on a screen and everything only existed within the plane of that screen. With the DSD there is a definite sense of soundstage depth that is missing from the CD. In addition to a more precise placement of the instruments, both in width and depth, the DSD also gave me a better sense of the space an air between them  whereas with the CD the unoccupied space was ore dead and dark.

In total, while the CD sounded like a very good facsimile of the performance, the DSD just sounded more like real music.

All that said the CD is still quite good and the level of SQ in it us such that it definitely would not get in the way of sitting there and enjoying the music. But the DSDD is just s bit better around the audiophile edges.

Mike McGear is Paul McCartney's brother.  This album is referred to as the lost Wings album as McCartney wrote (or at least co-wrote) 9 out or the 10 songs included on the original album and most of the studio musicians were members of Wings at the time.

Top shelf product. I have three of them so far, the two I just posted and Gill Evans, New Bottle Old Wine. All of them are pressed on dead quiet vinyl and  are superbly mastered (of course they were great recordings to begin with. Outstanding SQ and nice packaging as well. Not only are they great reiisues for the price, I think they are great reissues, period.

They get the Vampire seal of approval.

Bill Evans Trio: Waltz for Debbie

(https://img.discogs.com/IuSF4t-chk5z2vAcEIWJoPO-8ss=/fit-in/600x592/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-1745184-1345848387-2529.jpeg.jpg)

DSD

And a little trivia about this album, "Debby" in the composition's title refers to Evans's niece, Debby Evans.

How much better is the DSD version? I've only ever heard the Riverside CD.

I don't have the original Riverside CD, but I do have a copy of the K2 Super Coding 20 bit Remaster

(https://img.discogs.com/N3rx2G308dLJiSgBj8pxGOhhybg=/fit-in/600x536/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-1844866-1265925289.jpeg.jpg)

Compared to the DSD, the K2 sounds kind of flat from an imaging perspective. It is as if it was a picture being projected on a screen and everything only existed within the plane of that screen. With the DSD there is a definite sense of soundstage depth that is missing from the CD. In addition to a more precise placement of the instruments, both in width and depth, the DSD also gave me a better sense of the space an air between them  whereas with the CD the unoccupied space was ore dead and dark.

In total, while the CD sounded like a very good facsimile of the performance, the DSD just sounded more like real music.

All that said the CD is still quite good and the level of SQ in it us such that it definitely would not get in the way of sitting there and enjoying the music. But the DSDD is just s bit better around the audiophile edges.


Oohhh, now I am interested. Where do I get a DSD copy? I only see Sunday at the Village Vanguard available.

I hope this qualifies for entry to this thread- Today I had a painter over to do some- wait for it- painting. He’s been coming to the house over 20 years and has always been interested in listening to and appreciating my system. I had my speakers and rack covered with towels as I knew there was spackling and sanding to be done. As SOON as he was done and starting to pick up, he just looks at me and asks, ‘Can we listen to the system now?’
He loves drum stuff- Moby Dick went on, Iron Butterfly, Kodo drummers, and his favorite was- Castilian Drums by Dave Brubeck (Live- Carnegie Hall) AND, he feels Moby Dick’s drum solo was inspired by Castilian Drums.
There you have it.

FLAC file from a cd I picked up for $1 at the local thrift shop!

Nothing like listening to the 'Anvil of Crom!" Reportedly scored with 20 French horns! This is the best of the 'sword and sorcery' genre of movies from the 80s. Sounds just a bombastic, loud, and impressive even after all these years and is quintessential John Milius!

Between the time
when the oceans drank Atlantis,
and the rise of the sons of Aryas,
there was an age undreamed of.
And onto this, Conan,
destined to wear the jeweled crown
of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow.
It is I, his chronicler,
who alone can tell thee of his saga.
Let me tell you of the days of high adventure!

From Amazon:
                         "In the history of Jazz music, there is only one bandleader that has the distinction of having his orchestra still performing sold out concerts all over the world, with members personally chosen by him, for over 30 years after his passing. Pianist and bandleader William James "Count" Basie was and still is an American institution that personifies the grandeur and the excellence of Jazz. The Count Basie Orchestra, today directed by Scotty Barnhart, has won every respected jazz poll in the world at least once, won 18 Grammy Awards, performed for Kings, Queens, and other world Royalty, appeared in several movies, television shows, at every major jazz festival and major concert hall in the world.

Columbia 2 CD Set

Recorded in Jan of 1938, so the fidelity is typical of the 78 RPM records of the time.

But....... this band is is stack a who's who all-star all star line up from the Big Band Era. Backing Goodman are Count Basie, Lionel Hampton, Johnny Hodges, Freddie Green, Lester Young Harry James and Gene Krupa, just to name a few.

The SQ may be less than optimal, but the performances are spot on.  :thumb:

I usually like George Shearing, but the arrangements are just to bland. Kind of like elevator music. Out it goes, just not shelf space worthy.

I was curious and found this info on the Amazon website ….

The White Album
This is the first time The BEATLES (‘White Album’) has been remixed and presented with additional demos and session recordings. To create the new stereo and 5.1 surround audio mixes for ‘The White Album,’ Martin and Okell worked with an expert team of engineers and audio restoration specialists at Abbey Road Studios in London. All the new ‘White Album’ releases include Martin’s new stereo album mix, sourced directly from the original four-track and eight-track session tapes. Martin’s new mix is guided by the album’s original stereo mix produced by his father, George Martin.

Editorial Reviews
For 50 years, ‘The White Album’ has invited its listeners to venture forth and explore the breadth and ambition of its music, delighting and inspiring each new generation in turn. The Beatles have now released a suite of lavishly presented ‘White Album’ packages, including a 180-gram 4LP vinyl set housed in a 2 piece lift off lid box and gatefold sleeves. The album’s 30 tracks are newly mixed by producer Giles Martin and mix engineer Sam Okell in stereo.

Just released this morning.

I was never a big fan of A Love Supreme. but if it is your type of jazz you should definitely check this one out.

Nicely done, good SQ, just not musically my cup of tea.

I don't know why, but the albums vary in bit rate, some at 96/24 and others art 192/24.

It really doesn't represent anything that I don't already have, but is is nice to be able to access high res versions at work or in the car.

At one point while A Night on Bald Mountain was playing a little boy about 8 years old came to the door and said "Hey mister, I really like your music.". I immediately turned to my wife and said "give that boy some extra candy."  :thumb:

I've been in a musical funk lately- probably gone 2 weeks without listening to my system...
But this afternoon it was Cedar Walton with Billy Higgins and David Williams. 
Just so nice on a rainy day in Texas...
On a 1986 Italian pressing, Red Record  VPA192.  Well recorded, clean pressing, good music, and inexpensive.  What more could you ask?

This is a voyage alright, straight back into the 1970s. Abba may have broken up 40 years ago, but this album sounds like the band never skipped a beat.

Musically not a top of the pile album for me, but I can certainly appreciate the arrangements and production and the SQ is a lot better than I expected.

Unfortunately, it predates the release of the Analogue Productions 45 RPM UHQR pressing. I would have been interested in seeing how that stacked up against other versions.

Qobuz 96 - From the LSO Live Series

Qobuz now has pretty much the entire LSO live catalog - over 200 titles, many of which are in 96/24.

LSO Live is an interesting concept. The label and its recordings are owned by LSO Ltd whose only shareholders in turn are the musicians of the London Symphony Orchestra. The players, conductors and soloists are stakeholders in the recordings on which they appear and LSO Live works with some of the world’s leading producers and sound engineers. The musicians not only choose what should be recorded, but are also involved throughout the production process, ensuring only recordings they are happy with get released.

I’m going out on a limb here- how do you choose which version of a classical piece to listen to? I was reminded by your post of how much I liked the #7- so I randomly chose one off of Tidal- I looked for a hi-res one of course. It sounded good but didn’t move me. So I put on the version you had chosen, and it ‘felt’ much better. It didn’t sound as good per se, but much more enjoyable.
We should post some pieces that we feel are ‘best’- not SQ wise, but moving.

I found out about the artist Mr Blue, who is from Tanzania, through utube and then on Roon. There are 23 volumes available and many more that aren’t released yet on Qobuz or Tidal yet. I went thru all 23 volumes as I was curious. The recordings are good quality, spacious and holographic, so I looked up the studio which is Blue Heaven in Salinas KS. Their recording studio is a former church and the some of the instruments are sax, flute, accordion, piano. Fun to listen to

This is interesting. I’m listening now, and I enjoy the hell out of the 60’s kitsch he’s got going on. I’m a sucker for Bert Kaempfert, Montavani, Percy Faith, and so on. But for the life of me I can’t figure out how many would listen to this; does it have a market? And so many volumes! I looked outside of Tidal, and he’s up to volume #79!
Perhaps this is like the lounge music revival of 25 years ago.
Please don’t take this as a rebuke of the music- I love it. I just don’t get the production of so many volumes.
If a local restaurant wants to play this as I dine, I’m in…

Music For Hotel Restaurant Bar  Vol. 3 by Mr Blue streamed via Roon

I found out about the artist Mr Blue, who is from Tanzania, through utube and then on Roon. There are 23 volumes available and many more that aren’t released yet on Qobuz or Tidal yet. I went thru all 23 volumes as I was curious. The recordings are good quality, spacious and holographic, so I looked up the studio which is Blue Heaven in Salinas KS. Their recording studio is a former church and the some of the instruments are sax, flute, accordion, piano. Fun to listen to

This is interesting. I’m listening now, and I enjoy the hell out of the 60’s kitsch he’s got going on. I’m a sucker for Bert Kaempfert, Montavani, Percy Faith, and so on. But for the life of me I can’t figure out how many would listen to this; does it have a market? And so many volumes! I looked outside of Tidal, and he’s up to volume #79!
Perhaps this is like the lounge music revival of 25 years ago.
Please don’t take this as a rebuke of the music- I love it. I just don’t get the production of so many volumes.
If a local restaurant wants to play this as I dine, I’m in…

Jim, I pretty much thought I was the Lone Ranger 👀 as far as liking the guys you mentioned and that genre 😱  Have enjoyed it ever since I was a little kid. Yes, I am amazed as to there being 79 volumes. I can’t  think of anything that compares. It took me quite a while to get thru the 23, but it was a lot of fun 🎶 i’m going to have to check when the stuff was actually recorded…

Yes, that cover got my attention, too. I am really enjoying my toob preamp nowadays 😀 Tom, any idea if your SP 9 has mk II or mk III upgrades? I heard an ARC amp and the SP 9 years ago at a neighbor’s place. Wonderful sound 🎶
Title: Re: What are you listening to right now?
Post by: tmazz on January 30, 2022, 06:00:55 PM
By SP-9 is definitely the original Mk I. I bought it new in 1988. When I did they had just introduced a new and nicer looking faceplate. I never updated the unit because ARC upgrades are just ridiculously priced. The Mk 1 version retailed for $1695. The MkII version was $1795, but the MkII upgrade cost something like $800. so I never bothered. I just always felt that the $800 would be better off spent elsewhere in the system.. If I ever came across a Mk III with the remote control I would probably jump on it for that feature alone, but they sold very few remote equipped units to they are very hard to find. I have only ever seen 1 listed for sale and I called the guy withing 15 minutes of the post going up and it was already gone. The original SP9 was and still is a great preamp, so outside of getting my hands on one with a remote I don't see myself ever upgrading it.

The sound on this one was good, but I did not particularly care for the reading. I felt the pace was off and it seemed a little rushed. No matter how good the sound, if the music is off to me it gets tossed aside. I have enough other versions of The Four Seasons, to this one will be a one and done. (Which is a shame because I liked the KT 88 on the cover.)

My wife got people to give me Acoustic Sounds gift certificates instead of physical gifts for Christmas this year.Now I am sitting on a bunch of gift certificates and nothing that interests me at Acoustic Sounds is in stock. I have had 19 albums on a back order notification list with them since the day after Christmas  (hoping to get 5 or 6 of them) and nothing has come in yet.

Meredith and I saw Janis Ian perform with Tom Paxton on his 80th Birthday tour in 2017. At the end of the show she announced that copies of her latest CD would be for sale in the lobby . We had seats in about the 5th row, so by the time we git to the lobby there was a big crowd at the table buying CDs. I decided to bypass the crowd and figured I could just the CD online when we got home. Unfortunately when I tried to buy one I found out that the CD was a limited edition that was only being sold at live shows. (https://groups.tapatalk-cdn.com/smilies/1733/1540659303.9332-smilie.gif)

It has taken my 5 years, but I finally tracked down a copy online and it was delivered today. Very nicely done album. I'm glad I finally found one.

Of course when I loaded it on my hard drive and into Roon I found out that it was available on Qobuz and Tidal. I never thought to look there thinking that if it was not on sale via normal retail channels it would not have been released to streaming either. Oh well, you live and learn.

Qobuz 44/16

I tripped over this album while wandering around Qobuz. These guys were the band at the annual 50s sock hop dance my sophomore year of high school. They always put on a great show and were in a way the Jimmy Buffett of Doo Wop as their shows always had an energy to them that made them fun in a way beyond just the music.

The first 1/4 of the album is studio recordings that are just OK but the rest really capture the groups crowd pleasing live act.

This album brought back a lot of memories for me.

‘The Jazz Groove’, an internet station I guess. It was recommended by another AN member, and provided they’re not fundraising, it’s great. SQ is excellent, and yes I did send in a contribution. Little to no vocal jazz; ideal for reading. ‘Burden of Proof’ right now by Scott Turow…

Meredith and I saw John Williams and Anne Sophie Mutter do this same program with the Boston Pops at Tanglewood the summer before Covid hit. (That was what, about 6 years ago?  :roll) The next afternoon we went back and saw the Boston Symphony do Beethoven's Ninth. That was a great musical weekend.

Little Feat was an amazing band, especially in concert. I've seen them 4 times and they never failed to deliver, even after Lowell George died.  Then again, The Feat with Lowell was an amazing show.  His slide playing was amazing!  He could eke more music out of a held single note than anyone... other than David Gilmore.........

Gilmore can do more with bending one note than anyone else in music.

I think Dave is referring to some naughty bits in the song’s meaning. I’m not a lyrics guy, and can’t interpret them, so I looked it up, because I’ve always loved the song. There are varying ideas; I truthfully had no idea. I thought it was about cars- checking oil and stuff… Waiting For Columbus is a desert island disc for me.

Pete’s post is an album I was unfamiliar with; I had to listen at low volume, but it’s great so far. It’s on the weekend crank it up list along with some Dead soundboard stuff Hal gifted me.

Sam Cardon and Kurt Bestor write some great music:

Here is a YouTube hit from ythe PBS Special "Innovators"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epAlsaJ_szE&list=PL606693A2FE485506&index=2

It is worth watching the special when you have some time...

La Capitana is another great piece - Dave Weckl on drums and an outstanding performance by Sam Cardon on guitar: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epAlsaJ_szE&list=PL606693A2FE485506&index=2

The original release of Innovators was on a Word Pefect distribution disc as an addition.

It is available as a CD now.  Interesting side note:  An engineer credited on the recording is a gentleman named Dave Wilson... yes THAT Dave Wilson.

Yes, the PBS special is very good, but the CD is stellar.  The CD has very little if any compression whereas the video is squashed flat.  The CD has been one of my reference discs since I acquired the Word Perfect disc in 1993

Backstory:  Word Perfect was developed by Alan Ashton and Brian Bastian at Brigham Young University.  In '92 Cardon and Bestor (alums of BYU) and Dave Wilson (also an alum and assistant engineer on the recording) were approached by Brian Bastian about filling up the blank disc space on the WP program distribution disc with music.  The downside was forgetting about the data partition and playing that back at listening levels.  To say "rude" is a bloody understatement!

Years back I bought an amp from a guy that had all but 3 of the entire Mercury Living Presence catalogue.  At that time, I had nearly none, so I asked him for some recommendations of good examples of the MLP sound.  One that was on his list was SR 90222, Frederick Fennell and the Eastman-Rochester Orchestra titled "Pop Overs", a collection of popular classical pieces.  I've probably picked up close to a hundred since.
It's still a good one...

While I am sure this is not as good as the Groove Note 45 RPM pressing, it is still a dame fine sounding record.

A good condition Groove Note will set you back $200 or more, so the fact that I picked this Concord Promo copy at Mr. Cheapo's for one single US Dollar makes Tom a very happy camper.  :thumb:

Stylistically it is all over the place from things that sound like they are right out of Friday Night in San  Francisco to cuts that have the flavor of Yes  playing jazz. But given the time span that these recordings cover I guess it is not all that surprising.

Not something I would see myself keeping in a regular rotation, but none the less an worthwhile streaming spin.

A 1976 album from the group that I knew from their years with Windham Hill. This album is more Prog oriented as opposed to the later New Age albums that I was more familiar with.

I am really enjoying these Tal Farlow albums. They are guitar based jazz similar to that of Kenny Burrell or Joe Pass. They are mellow enough to play in my office without raising the ire of my coworkers, while being upbeat enough not to put me to sleep.

The recommendation from the DC group was not actually for these albums individually, but rather for a two CD set called Three Classic Albums Plus. I found all four albums on Qobuz, but for those of you without streaming access the set can be found on eBAy for $17, with free shipping.

There’s something about these that are reminiscent of the slack key guitar of Hawaii fame. Different style for sure, but the timber is there.
Hitting up some Tal Farlow too, as per your post- there are so many good things out there, it is impossible to parse them all. Great to have tmazz as a guidepost. Thanks Tom.

I saw Colin playing in a bar in Abilene several years ago. He put on a great one man show of somewhat melancholy music. Half the audience was there to hear him, and half was hoping to pick up a gal at the bar.   He told a bit of a story about how moving from superstardom to bar player helped him focus on what was important in life.

Probably the best LZ covers I have ever heard. That said I have all of Zeppelin's albums, so if I want to listen to their music I can just go tot he originals.

Actually, my copy is from the Angel Sonic Series 45 rpm.  I've loved this LP from first time I heard it in the 80's.  One of the high end shops in Dallas used to sell it, along with Sheffield Lab LP's.

I was in the mood for something solid, well known, something I knew every note so I wouldn't have to really pay attention. 
Scheherazade by Rimsky Korsakov.  The first copy I find is Haitink on Phillips.  I swear, only Haitink could emasculate such a swaggering piece.  After the first side played, I put it up and pulled out a Stowkowski on London Phase 4 pressings.  These are thick, overblown versions... exactly what I was in the mood for.

My favorite reading of Scheherazade id the 1960 Decca recording of Ansermet and the Suisse Romande. Over the years I have collected quite a few pressings of it, an original London Blu Back LP, the King Records Super analogue LP, several domestic and import CDs and the HDTT DSD 256 file version. While I think that , at least on my system, the Super Analogue LP is the best sounding, the HDTT DSD is close to it and since I was working on my taxes yesterday, the convenience of file, based music won out.

I called a friend that was just about to go in to the Abilene Philharmonic... and he tells me the program this evening is..... Rimsky-Korsakov's  Scheherazade.   
Too much of a coincident, so I looked for my Mercury Living Presence copy, to find out it's mono in a stereo jacket.
No problem, to me mono sounds very lifelike as if you're sitting 30+ rows back. 
I gotta say, there are some tonality things and hall ambience that mono recording do extremely well!!

My cover is from the 1959 pressing, but the record is actually the 1952 performance.  Wow.  Great performance.

Sharp eye. The cover art from the HDTT release does actally use the cover from a 1950 release, but the recording was done in Victoria Hall, Geneva during Nov. of 1960

This is the original London Blueback cover from that recording:

And the Super Analogue cover look like this:

Discogs links for both versions:

https://www.discogs.com/release/1216916-Rimsky-Korsakov-Borodin-Ansermet-LOrchestre-De-La-Suisse-Romande-Scheherazade-Polovtsian-Dances-From

https://www.discogs.com/release/15678438-Rimsky-Korsakov-Ansermet-LOrchestre-De-La-Suisse-Romande-Sch%C3%A9h%C3%A9razade

And for me the preference for this recording comes not because of the SQ, which is excellent, but rather from the reading of the piece. I find the Ansermet performance to be very lush and engaging and it pulls you in on an emotional level as  compared to say the Reiner/Chicago Symphony Living Stereo version which is more driving and dynamic and tends to grab your attention  instead of lulling you in. Both are good performances, but they approach the work from different directions.

Today after getting a haircut, I entered my car to the beginning of the 3rd movement of Beethoven’s 5th on 91.1 WSHU out of Connecticut. Stick with me- I have a question.
I thought it fantastic- my benchmark or soft spot for the Fifth is Leonard Bernstein conducting the Vienna Philharmonic.
I liked this even more. I am no expert regarding these things- I just know what I like. Today’s pacing was quick, but not overly so. Luckily I drive a Sonata, or who knows what mayhem could’ve occurred.
I tracked this down- https://www.amazon.com/Beethoven-Complete-Symphonies-Ludwig-van/dp/B005CYLSW8
It doesn’t appear to be available via Tidal- I tried several ways of looking it up.
Now the question- if anyone out there does enjoy the Fifth, and I admit it may be the ‘Hotel California’ of classical(as in overplayed), please check it out as I’d like my opinion either validated or shot down.
Or just let me know what service this is available on. I’m buying the cd’s- I’d hope the other symphony interpretations
appeal to me as well.
Happy listening.

I don't know if this is the same recording that you heard, but I was able to find a Bernstein/ NYP Beethoven's 5th on Tidal

https://listen.tidal.com/album/80313687/track/80313692

If you liked that one you might want to check out the Reiner Living Stereo version.

This is a Tidal link to the complete set of Reiner/Chicago Symphony RCA recordings. It's a 63 Disc set. Beethoven's 5th can be found on Volume 34. Reiner's hard charging style mates well with the 5th.

Qobuz 192/24

A historic early recording of Aerosmith in their rehearsal room - just the band, crew and friends captured on Joe Perry's tape recorder. This never-before-heard performance showcases the early, raw talent of this future Hall Of Fame band, one year before signing to Columbia Records, and two years before their eponymous debut, which featured many of these songs, including their enduring anthem "Dream On."

FYI, the Discogs reviews of this album liked the music but absolutely trashed the quality of the LP pressing, tThings like "One of the poorest quality pressings in my collection. Sealed record with visible scuffs, pitting on side one and a 10mm scratch. More crackles and pops than a bowl of Rice Bubbles. And the added bonus of being pressed off centre."

Probably best off sticking with the CD version or just stream it .

Donald Byrd "Chant" ... on loan from a friend
An audiophile pressing of a 1961 release.  With Pepper Adam, Doug Watkins, Teddy Robinson, and Herbie Hancock... all top people. 
All the tunes are well done, but it's just not one of my favorite Donald Byrd.  I'm finding that for me, Byrd misses more than he hits.  Great recording, quiet vinyl

Steinberg was an excellent conductor of Beethoven and leads an excellent performance here. The engineer for this recording was none other than Robert Fine of Mercury Living Presence fame. (While his Wife Wilma was an employee of Mercury Records, Bob remained an independent contractor and as such was free to do recordings for other folks. The Sq here is up the that standards that you would expect from him.

I read an interview with Lady Gaga where she talked about how hard it was to watch what the Alzheimer's had done to Tony. And yet with all that she said ad soon as the piano hit the fist note  he snapped into performance mode and was spot on.  When the song was over he may not have known where he was, but for those 43 or 4 minutes  the was his old self again.

It really is amazing how the brain works (and sometimes doesn't.)

They did a great job on that album. Considering that it will very likely be Tony's last, it is great to see him go out on top.  :thumb:

A well recorded chronicle of a concert Baez did in a Spanish bullring in 1988The first half of the album is a mix of her own songs with some well done covers of music by Leonard Cohen, Bob Marley and the Beatles. The second half of the album sis sung entirely in Spanish, pull from her 1974 all Spanish album entitled  Gracias a la Vida

I will have to look up some of his other albums on Qobuz. I was impressed with his technique, but the musical selections on this album just didn't grab me. But I was listening to it mainly as background music while I was doing other things. If this guy has the Dave seal of approval I guess I will have to go back and also give this one a more serious listen.

James Taylor "Hourglass"
I've had this (reference quality) cd for ages, but I just found that a vinyl version has been available for a few years. 
Just got my copy yesterday. 
The remaster is good and bad.  Even better vocals than the original, but the bass it too far forward.  Less soundstage depth or width. 
So, ok but not quite what I'd hoped for $40.  Still, great material, great vocals, good pressing. Win, win, draw.

DSD

Recorded in Japan in 1973 this 3 LP/2 SACD set was released overseas in 1974, but held back from Domestic US release.

When a live recording is "lost" for over 40 years there is usually a reason.

While the SQ was good I found the performances mediocre at best. If you are a big Santana fan are want to have this for completeness then go for it, but the album just left me cold. I would rather just listen to the original recordings.

Chicago at Carnegie Hall: Complete

192/24 FLAC

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Chicago's Carnegie Hall shows not only remastered the original album but released the complete recordings of all 8 shows.

I was very excited to see this as this was a landmark album of my teenage years  and being able to get it in high res 192 FLAC format seemed like a great thing.

Unfortunately I the results were no where near what I had hoped for. I am not sure which songs from which songs went into the original release, but when I started listening to the first show something was immediately wrong. In spite of being a high res release the sound was just off instead of a nicely mixed concert recording it sounded more like a sound check tape that was just made to reference with a single mic. everything sounded kind of hollow and the lead vocal sounded like the singer was several feet away from the mic was placed in the soundstage in a way that made it sound as if it was coming from behind the rest of the band. It sounded more like and audience bootleg than a professionally recording from a major label.

I did not listen to the whole thing ( it's 14 1/2 hours long), but I did skim through a number of tracks and got the same feeling about all of them.

Just for reference I pulled up a Redbook version of the original album on Tidal and everything sounded as it should with the overall SQ being much more satisfying than the new 192 version.

Just goes to prove that "new and improved" does not always mean better.

Extremely disappointing, as I was really looking forward to this one.

Not world class, but certainly credible sonics and a pleasant, enjoyable performance.

It's typical Vivaldi, so you will either like it or is will bore you to death.

I did not have any performances of this piece in my collection, so for me this was a nice find.

Released today on CD and Vinyl.

Blue Coast Music is releasing a DSD256 remastered version of this album. I find this very strange since the album was originally recorded in 192/24. Since a copy can never have more resolution that what was contained in the original what is the reason for remastering a digital file at a bit rate many times higher than the original source? Is there any legitimate sonic benefit or is this just a cash grab by the record company?

Dave you are right. Things like this just need to be said.

In the tradition of Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Tom Paxton and Pert Paul and Mary, music can not only touch our hearts and souls, but it can also be a gateway to our minds, opening them to the good,,, and the not so good aspects of our society.

No need to apologize. It is a good post.

I didn’t want to waste the space with three full ‘quotes’, but the three you posted, and many more previously, remind me of growing up in the sixties and seventies and hearing WPAT-FM. It was a go-to station for my mother- we lived on Long Island, but this Jersey station came in loud and clear playing ‘beautiful music’. I’d bet some others from the area remember it as well.
Montovani, Percy Faith, etc., were well represented. The station no longer exists as such, but a google search turned up this- the Tiffany lamp says it all…

I didn’t want to waste the space with three full ‘quotes’, but the three you posted, and many more previously, remind me of growing up in the sixties and seventies and hearing WPAT-FM. It was a go-to station for my mother- we lived on Long Island, but this Jersey station came in loud and clear playing ‘beautiful music’. I’d bet some others from the area remember it as well.
Montovani, Percy Faith, etc., were well represented. The station no longer exists as such, but a google search turned up this- the Tiffany lamp says it all…

Yes, I continue to enjoy it all these years later. I’m not much for searching online radio stations, but I’m sure there are still a few that play this music. As to the Tiffany lamps, I still have one on the night stand in the master bedroom. Have been meaning to replace it for a couple of decades now. Maybe a beautiful lava lamp would be a good choice  :roll: :lol:

HDTT DSD

The HDDTT release was mastered directly to DSD 256 from the original tapes. I chose to go with the DSD 64 version because I wanted this more from a historical reasons that for SQ. I'm glad that i did, because while the sound is OK, it is not a sonic blockbuster that I would say is worth taking up 6+ Gb of hard drive space.

Still an enjoyable album, just not DSD256 material IMHO.

This new release caught my eye because of the musical selections, but it has a very hollow sound. Listened to about 30 seconds of the first cut and then skimmed the rest and found them all to sound the same. There are just too many exceptional Ella Fitzgerald albums out there to waste my time on one with mediocre SQ.

So when they remaster these classic albums, how much better are they?  If I've already got 4 copies of Kind of Blue, how much does a fifth one add to my listening pleasure?
Title: Re: What are you listening to right now?
Post by: tmazz on June 28, 2022, 02:33:59 PM
That of course is the $64,000 question.

This answer has to be looked at in multiple layers.

First, fact that something has been "remastered" does not guarantee that it is better sounding. There are many variables in the mastering process. Is the equipment used to remaster the album better sounding that that used for earlier releases? Just because something is newer, doesn't mean that it is better (how many tube vs transistor discussions have we had. Mastering is a personal thing. What is the talent level of the engineers doing the older vs the newer masterings? And of course what is the source for the remastering and if is is the same original master tapes, how have they aged and has there been any degradation over time.

Secondly, one of the differences in remasterings of particlarly vintage jazz and classical albums from the 50s and early 60s is related to the playback equipment available today. masterins done in the 50s were done with an eye to the tracking ability of the TTs and cartridges of the day. I know of several albums (the one that immediately comes to mind is the Reiner/CSO Pines of Rome) that the masterings had to be restricted in terns of amplitude and frequency in order keep them from mistracking. Remastered today TT design has improved to the point where these albums can be mastered to contain all that is on the master tapes.

Third, IMO a lot of the differences in newly remastered versions comes from the modern vinyl formulation, heavyweight pressing, and in some cases the new flat vinyl profiles. So totally separate from the remastering, the modern physical LPs have the potential to sound better that the older pressings from the point of view of the physical disc alone.

All that said, I have remasterings that sound better, worse and no different that older pressings of the same album. Slapping a remastered sticker on a re-release provides up with the assurance of nothing more than some extra marketing buzz.

So that leaves us with your last question, assuming that a remastering does produce better sound. does that better sound lead to more enjoyment. That I would say is a very personal thing. If you are most concerned with listening to the sound  then the better SQ for you would be its own reward. But for those who are more concerned with the music itself the question becomes how good is good enough? (I am not passing any judgement of people who value sound over music or music over sound. People get into this hobby  and get pleasure from different aspects of it. neither is inherently right or wrong. I am just saying that different people will look at this question from different angle) Just speaking for myself, I have a certain threshold of SQ that will allow me to forget about sound and focus on the music. While I can appropriate higher levels of SQ, I can still get pretty much the same level of enjoyment at my "threshold" level of SQ. Some people could not live without a $6k moving coil cartridge while others are perfectly happy with a $75 Grado. Whatever floats your boat. Of course the other factor on if the new version brings you musical pleasure is what you have right now. If you have a beat up LP from your high school days the decision to upgrade will be much easier than if you own last years 200g release.

This got a lot longer than I planned. hope it helps.

What a nice and well thought out reply.   Funny you should mention the  RCA LS 2436 Reiner Pines of Rome.  Although I don't have the much sought after 1s stamping, I've got a fairly early 4s stamper, along with the the Classic Recording from the early 2000's.  The remaster is on quieter vinyl, but isn't near the recording that the original shaded dog vesion is. 
But then the Analog Productions UHQR box of Miles' Kind of Blue from a year or two ago is a nice step up from my other copies (including a 6eye)

And just for the record, why did I get the remasterred Beatles Box Set. A few reasons. It came with a really nice book, which as far as I know was only available with the set. My Beatles LPs were of various vintages a number of which were well worn and gotten noisy so it was nice to have the full collection on clean quiet vinyl. And I found the set on line at a really good sale price that was hard to say no to.

Well there you go. 2 remasterings, one significantly better than the original, one , not so much.

Why? There are just to many variables to know for sure.  :-k

From Amazon:
"Recorded in San Francisco around the turn of the millennium, Toast features Young’s legendary musical collaborators Crazy Horse at a ragged and thundering apex. The long anticipated 7-song album includes different versions of 4 songs that were included on “Are You Passionate” but the other 3 songs are previously unreleased (“Timberline”,“Gateway of Love” and “Standing In The Light Of Love”). This is one of the legendary “lost” albums in Neil’s catalog."

A word of warning..... there were a lot of complaints in the Amazon reviews about the poor quality of the vinyl pressing. - lots of noise . I had no issues at all with the Qobuz Hi Res version. This might be one were we are better off just sticking with online of physical digital version.

I'm leaning toward saying Audio Sensibility Statement silver, Wywires silver, Audio Sensibility Statement copper. 
The Audio Sensibility statement copper reminds me of Hapa Audio (Pez from A.C.) Quiescense Silver(but actually copper) interconnect.. but at 1/2 the price. 
And those three are really close, like if on a 100 pt scale, 91, 90, 88.  When cables are that close, they'll do different things in different systems. 
I'll eventually move them into my main system- later in the week.  I'll let you know if things change.

Yes, do keep me posted. I had an Audio Sensibility digital cable a few years ago, but unfortunately sold it. My system didn’t resolve well back in those days.

Shame on the guys at MoFi and Music Direct  :roll:
Back during my analog days I preferred Nautilus pressings, Shaded Dogs and MFSL half-speed master pressings.  When MFSL was resurrected from bankruptcy I didn't think they were nearly as good as before. 

Now, we know why.
Title: Re: What are you listening to right now?
Post by: tmazz on July 29, 2022, 10:59:07 PM
Dave in reality MFSL never emerged from bankruptcy. (The reason they shut down sadly had nothing to do with them, their distributor went bankrupt and the MFSL inventory they held was siezed as part of that incident and the loss of all that inventory was too much of a financial shock for a small record company to handle.) After they closed their doors Jim Davis of Music Direct came along in 2001 and purchased the MoFi name and intellectual property (and I would assume any still valid licensing agreements). But what was now the reborn MoFi was not the original company coming out of bankruptcy, but rather a whole new company operating under the same name, not unlike when Japanese companies were selling electronics branded as Marantz and Fisher.

Now all that said, the "new MoFi" has put out some very nice sounding records over the years and it is worth noting  that any of the now controversial mastering from digital copies of the master tape did not (allegedly) start happening until many years after the new management team took over. It was not a going in strategy of the new team but rather an idea that evolved over time.

2012 Steven Wilson Remix.

I just saw that they are coming out with a half speed mastered version of this mix for the 50th anniversary of this album.

Personally, I think this one sounds great, so I have no inclination to buy yet another copy of this album. But if you don't have the remix it might be worth waiting for the 1/2 speed.

It could well be an artifact of listening with hearing aids... but I don't think so.  I probably just had it turned up a bit too loud.  I'll put it on my main system tonight and report back.

I've had a lot of '70s R&R in rotation lately.  Stealer's Wheel was a great band, but Gerry Rafferty was special.  His '78 release of Baker Street marked a turn in my life as I was switching from drums back to guitar that I learned to play when I was 10.  Hugh Burn's solo absolutely blew my mind back then and still does.  His phrasing and tone out of his Les Paul through the Super Reverb is iconic.  It took me a long time to get close to that tone with my '61 Les Paul/Deluxe combo that I had then.

Damn, I miss that guitar...

OK.. to the topic:

Gerry Rafferty: City to City.  Great album.

Yeah, but it was Raphael Ravenscroft's sax solo that made that song a favorite of mine.  All these years later, I still love that sound.

Kachaturian Violin Concerto with Leonid Kogan and the Boston Symphony
I think this was Kogan's first time in the US in 1958. 
On a cheap, floppy pink Victrola pressing that should sound like crap... except it doesn't.  It was a gift.  Think I'll look for an older pressing.

The long awaited follow up to the classic Friday night album.

The SQ is similar to the original, which does not surprise me since I would think they used the same recording setup and crew for the second night.

The music is OK, but after a while gets to all sound the same. Great for a one or two cut demo, but at least to me, it is not the kind of thing I wold see myself sitting down and listening to end to end on a regular basis.

Bill Evans   "64"
A Verve pressing (mine is a mono) from, yep, 1964.  Bill Evans is always a good answer to whatever mood you're in.

At dinner, I had my wife listened to Chet Baker's versions of My Funny Valentine. And then Tony Bennet's, and then Frank's, and then Miles Davis', and then Ella Fitzgerald, and then, and then, and then... until she ran out of patience (the best two are both Chet Baker, but John Park is close).  But the most moving is this one with Chris Botti and Sting.

After your own personal hearing acuity, next on the pecking order is the quality of the recording. I present to thee the notes files as I've received it. Upon listening, well....  8)
--------------------------------------------------

The Eagles MTV Unplugged Second / Alternate Night
Venue: Warner Bros. Studios, Burbank, CA
Date: April 28, 1994
Taper: Unknown by me
Source: To these ears, raw soundboard and pre-mixed.  No overdubs, fixes, diginoise or pops!!
Transfer: CD-R from trade > EAC > FLAC Level 8
Sound Quality: A+  The most pristine recording I believe that's in my collection.  Almost too crisp at times with unparalleled channel separation.  One can literally hear the pick hitting the guitar strings.


I can't imagine this show hasn't made the rounds on Dime but a search of Eagles, MTV, and Unplugged has netted no returns.  At least I've done my due diligence ensuring to the best of my ability that it hasn't been uploaded in the last few months plus.  I also ran it past the Mods checking to see that it wouldn't get banned for any reason.  One downside of The Eagles live is their reluctance to vary their songs one iota from the album which indeed makes it somewhat tougher to verify that none of them appeared on the officially released Hell Freezes Over DVD & CD.  In cases such as this, I rely on my ears and the fact that even The Eagles can't intro/outtro a song in the 'exact' same manner two nights in a row.  This is another cd that I've listened to for years and the songs are in fact from the alternate or second night as it's called from their historic comeback performance on MTV (or Empty-V as I call it...).

If I am allowed to share this and all goes well, I implore those of you who haven't heard this to please listen at least once to this concert in headphones.  Am I the only relic on the planet who still owns a pair and uses them?  Some of the finest times that I can remember in my youth were spent studying all The Beatles albums while donning a pair of 'cans' to borrow the recording industry vernacular.  For this particular gem you can clearly hear the boys tuning up, checking mics, and even turning to one another for support.  Their insecurities on the one hand are understandable yet the other side of me screams "You guys are The Eagles for heaven's sake"!!!  I believe that right after they lay down the first couple of tunes someone eerily says "we're back" in an attempt to lay to rest those same uncertainties about being able to start up the machine again (to quote Neil Peart).

Some of the highlights for me are:

o  Right before 'The Best Of My Love' an enthusiastic fan screams "Hey Joe, how ya doin"???  To which a startled Walsh quips back "I'm freaking out man"!

o  Towards the end of the show, I apologize for forgetting what track, a drunk female creates some commotion causing Glenn to chide that "he remembers his first beer, too".  A wonderful line that I admit to have stolen and used a time or two in similar situations.

o  The Great Don Henley (and neighbor to my parents who live in Dallas) flubbing the lyrics to 'Get Over It'.  To hear his deadpan response post-song of "well I fucked that up, but let's move along" is also worth the download of this set.  It's chronicled for all to hear - Don Henley messed up!

o  Favorite test of speaker separation?  'Life In The Fast Lane'.  I present to you Joe Walsh in your left ear and Don Felder in your right.  Stunning...

So let's get going and have some fun with this.  To quote Glenn Fry again right before 'Peaceful Easy Feeling':  Check one, two.  Check one, two...


Thanks for reading my rambling thoughts and please have fun listening (in headphones, remember?). And as always don't convert to MP3 or sell.  That's not cool nor is it right.

Regards,

DWP

A 1961 early pressing on Mercury Living Presence in glorious mono.  I mostly prefer stereo on classical, but concertos not so much.

I enjoyed reading your comments. You mentioned headphones and I had a pair maybe 30 years ago…a long time ago. I can’t listen to anything for a while as I moved last week and chaos is superseding sanity at the moment.

@ejk

You're very welcome, Evan.

And thank you for the Harlots of 42nd Street album.

Please check your PMs as I've responded to your questions.

Also to ensure I'm remaining on point with this particular topic thread I'm listening right now to Warren Zevon, from April 24th 1980 at the Tower theater in Philadelphia.

EDIT: I'll add that Warren is belting out a serious version of "a certain girl". :thumb:

EDIT 2: Warren's on fire. Between songs he says "I'm Warren Zevon. I sing as well as I can. I dance as well as I want."  :thumb:

This is sweet. Did 2 min cursory review via internet stream of random tracks.

Willing to trade. However, the album is commercially available, therefore, trade is not possible in a "legal" sense.

I'm somewhat surprised Chestnut bootlegs and/or auds don't circulate (that I can find). Not to say  I'm the be all end all in this respect either, but suffice it to say I'm prolific on the major peer to peer bit torrent sites.

Of course, those who advocate for anonymity and/or proliferation of an artists material for what inevitably leads to the artists benefit could have a different way of thinking than mine.

Best.

Hal I think the only things missing are the temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure at the time of recording!
BTW, I seem to have noticed a big dropoff in sound quality when the temp and barometric pressure dropped precipitously about two weeks ago (bomb cyclone here in NY). Anyone else?

Hal I think the only things missing are the temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure at the time of recording!

Hi James -

Temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure at the time of recording certainly do affect the recording. Favorably or unfavorably I think depends. Same for playback.  :)

I didn't notice much if any difference a week or two ago when the temps fell into the single digits. Then again an outside drop in temperature of say 20 degrees F might only affect my indoor temperature by about 2 degrees. That's just a guess, I haven't measured the precise correlation.  :)

SBD 2nd (tranehead-Drew51-flambay-mudsharknyc)

PREAMBLE: This fantastic show is amongst the most common 1980 Fall Tour soundboard tapes to circulate and this FZ Shows entry serves an essential upgrade in preserving this fine historical document. Yes, many versions have appeared over the years here in FZ Shows and each have contained their share of flaws, but presented here is a very low generation clear upgrade to all other hitherto circulating versions. Overall SQ on this main source delivers improved definition with minimal hiss. For those interested in the FA comparisons, flaws discussion and preceding samples to this entry, please refer to the Samples thread.

FZ & the 1980 Fall Tour band certainly gave Pittsburgh an outstanding pair of shows and infinite thanks for this Late show main source tape provided by tranehead, which was originally seeded on Dime and Òfreshly ripped in 2010Ó to paraphrase the Dime entry. Additional patch, tape and bonus sources are provided by Drew51, also from a fresh NAK transfer as detailed below. Speed correction advice for both tapes by flambay.

Note: Both sources experience SBD SQ adjustments inherent from sources at the very beginning of the tape through approximately 18 seconds.

- contains (Drew51) patch 00:00:00.00 through 00:00:04.864, then switches to main source (tranehead)
18 JoeÕs Garage (2:14)
19 DancinÕ Fool (3:24)
20 Heavy Duty Judy Intro (0:21)
- millisecond fade out applied to tape cut @ 00:00:20.9
21 Heavy Duty Judy (4:20)
22 Illinois Enema Bandit (12:02)

Total time 92:00 min


THE FIXES HEREIN:

Speed correction of +40 cents performed for the entire main source tranehead tape.

Speed correction of +50 cents performed for the entire patch & bonus source Drew51 tape.

01 Black Napkins Ð
00:00:00.0 Drew51 has slightly more tape and replaces muffled inferior sounding beginning of tranehead tape
00:00:16.049 - switches to main tranehead tape

03 Love Of My Life Ð
A millisecond left channel drop out @ 00:01:37.6 was appropriated by duplicating a millisecond fill from the right channel of the recording.

12 Bamboozled By Love Ð
A tape sides duplicate edit was appropriated @ 00:01:55.2 where the tranehead source changes tape via fade out / fade in, duplicating a 0:41 second portion of the tape.

17 Encore Intro -
00:00:00.0 Drew51 tape has slightly more tape and hereby patches the tranehead tape through 00:00:04.864

20 Heavy Duty Judy Intro
Contains a millisecond fade out applied @ 00:00:20.9 to smoothen the tape cut

21 Heavy Duty Judy
Note that this tranehead tape has more tape than any other version IÕve heard over the years, starting slightly earlier from the DF guitar pattern preceding the start of Heavy Duty Judy.

TAPE FLIP NOTATIONS: Tape flip cuts on 09 Easy Meat & 15 If Only She Woulda were kept Ôas isÕ unchanged as provided from the tranehead tape, hence no fade-outs/fade-ins performed. So the tape flips heard on this FZ Shows entry matches those found on the original source.

All circulating SBD versions share the same tape cuts. No fills available for the tape flip cuts herein as no alternate audience source is known to date.


SUBFOLDERS INCLUDED HEREIN:

unpatched A tranehead main source
(all sound files interchangeable with the main FZ Shows entry)

01 Black Napkins (unpatched) (5:39)

Editing:

(1). Applied TTF filter to remove hum within first few seconds
(probably hum from radio continuity announcement - only affects
the first second or two of audience applause in d1t01).

(2). All samples multiplied by 1.33 (equivalent to +2.5db).

(3). Joined and smoothed 3rd tape flip (between Scotland & Sally).

(4). handful of FM clicks removed using Audition click removal.

The following edits enable entire show to fit onto two 80 minute CDs:

(5). Removed 15 seconds of applause when L. Shankar is introduced at 66:16
(6). Removed 10 seconds of applause when Shiv Kumar Sharma is introduced at 1:53
(7). Removed 2 seconds of applause when Neyna (?) is introduced at 2:05

(Applause removed with fades/overlaps so sound is continuous and with no
obvious discontinuities - no music was harmed etc etc).

Received this show in a cdr trade. The pitch was fast so I corrected it with Cool Edit Pro. It's a great quality Sound Board recording. During the "Taking a Break Jam" Kim says "You're listening to the Fabulous Thunderbirds direct to you from Las Vegas." Now I don't know if he was joking or this may in fact be from Las Vegas. If anyone has more info on this show, please let me know. Help with the setlist would be greatly appreciated.

If anyone else has any T-Birds shows 1989 and older please post them!

No eq, no noise reduction.

Tape was recovered from the garage, recorded in the early 70s on cassette.  I can't remember the brand of receiver, I think the deck was a TEAC.  I recently recorded this from the master cassette on an Advent 201B connected to a Tascam DR-100mkIII.  Files were moved to Sound Studio and edited.  The bass was rolled off starting around 60.

So lineage is:

fm > unknown receiver > TEAC cassette deck > "master" cassettes (BASF C90 Low Noise/Extended Range) > Advent 201B cassette deck > Tascam DR-100mkIII at 24/44.1 > Sound Studio (tracking, EQ, 16 bit save) > xACT (fix SBE and flac conversion)

I like my Jeff Beck too- a storied career and one of the best. For those inclined to bass and a loud time of it, check out ‘Space For The Papa’ from the album ‘Who Else!’. A system workout. It’s from 1999- thanks Steve R from Audio Syndrome for turning me on to it.
I was born in 1960, and everyone I hung out with had ‘Blow by Blow’ when it came out in 1975- just one of those things.

Recorder 1: Pink Floyd 1969-08-09 Plumpton Festival Ahlqvist
Lineage: Cassette Master (Ahlqvist) > DAT (Borg) > HDD
Recorder 2: New share from Lord Snooty
Lineage: reel master > reel or reel master > cassette > reel > 24/96 FLAC

Both recorders are originally mono recordings that were transferred to analog stereo format in their lineage. The stereo channels each preserve unique fidelity of the original mono recording in both of these recordings. The azimuth error offset between channels from imperfect transfer was corrected to allow the channels to be mixed back to true mono to preserve the recordings to the fullest extent.

The two recorders combined in sync create a single stereo recording of the event with recorder 1 placed left channel and recorder 2 right channel for a genuine stereo audience recording from 1969. The sound just comes to life revealing a stereo soundfield and instrument panning from the live mix. Some of the stereo heard here is more a scavengers find than intentional with some 'false' stereo effect from dropouts and differing fidelity between recorders but there are still more real elements from the show preserved here. The recorders also reinforce each other by lessening the impact of any dropouts and other artifacts in one or the other.

Recorder 2 contains little content above 8kHz. 8.2kHz and above from recorder 1 is placed in mono to avoid a pronounced lopsided effect while keeping full stereo separation of those remaining elements. The high end in both recorders but especially recorder 1 changes throughout. Some parts and Cymbaline as a whole were muffled sounding. Recorder 1 has a high end pulsing effect especially in the louder parts. This was all restored as well as possible. This earlier generation recorder 1 still ends at the start of Pink Jungle and we return to mono sound for the remainder of the show. It's a little like getting busted in a floor seat without a ticket and sent back to the bleachers! There is a cut in recorder two right after recorder 1 ends. I recycled some nearby moments to patch the cut to put the music back on beat.

The recordings were cleaned of the worst artifacts like mains hum and thumps and clanks from hitting the microphone. Fluctuating levels from recording level adjustments, tape/device compression in the louder parts, and generational artifacts corrected as well as possible. All mastering and restoration work from speed correction, synchronizing recorders, artifact and noise removal or reduction, eq surgery and correction, and dynamics work using Reaper DAW with Waves & UA plugins and iZotope RX spectral editor. Recorder 1 was upsampled to 96k with SOX prior to work. The goal as always is to present the music free of distracting artifacts and fidelity issues with the most full and natural sound that remains in the recording. Artificial enhancements like generating false stereo or using samples are strictly avoided.

Don't like the "Pacific Island" sound. The White Lotus kind of reminds me of "Planet Drums."

I guess I don't get the references. White lotus is supposedly mental purity, and planet drum creates a world wide symbiotic drumming and percussion experience. What's not to like?

It took me a minute to figure this out- when I said ‘if you like this kind of thing’, I was referring to the Hawaiian Percussion album and review, not the White Lotus soundtrack.
I should have been more specific; I believe Nick B enjoys 50’s and 60’s kitsch as I do…
Check it out Nick.

The wee hour of the morning is the most satisfying time for me to listen to music.

I too am a very early riser. Although I don't listen to music at this time in the morning. One likely reason that music does sound better at this time, or very late at night for that matter, is that the quiescent noise floor is lower, relative to the middle of the day. By this I mean there are generally less cars driving around, less overall electrical use, so the entire electrical grid is less noisy, and in general more folks are asleep or being very quiet. All of those things will positively affect your listening experience.

Best

Hal

vanillag NOTES (5/6/2022): 
--Big thanks to TL & mossa for recording & sharing this fantastic Robert Cray master FM!! 
--final show of 1992 for the Robert Cray Band
--more than likely not the entire show...just what was broadcast
--I added the songs that were not broadcast to the setlist info
--added more detail to the venue location & band members info
--I created an md5 checksum file
--"Our Last Time" fades in well before the first verse starts, so most of it is there. 
--"I Was Warned" does indeed have a tape flip there near the very end & there is a small jump from the splice, but it's not bad at all. 
--Robert does not introduce Tim Kaihatsu (guitar) during the band intros, so I guess he was not there at this gig

Crosby Stills Nash & Young
August 27, 2006
The Theatre At Madison Square Garden
New York, NY

As Ed Tyre said to me while at dinner before the show: "To make a perfect recording you need
1000 things to go right. It takes but one thing wrong to ruin the job." I think this recording has
999.5 things that went right. In my opinion this may be THE audience recording of this current
CSNY tour. Performed in a small venue, The Theatre (formerly the Felt Forum &/or The
Paramount) seats about 4000-5000 and has pristine acoustics, unlike an arena or an outdoor
venue like Jones Beach.. I was in the 8th Row, directly in front of the left stacks. Crowd noise is
minimal thanks to the Schoeps, you will hear the occasional hoot, holler & clapper as with any
stealth audience recording, but the music just sizzles on this recording. Clean as can be. (I will
gladly post a 24 bit version for burn to DVD-A if somebody will teach me how to track/index in
24 bit on a windows based computer. I need a good free software application to use too.)

Three Dog Night
Rockefeller's
Houston, TX
Nov. 17, 1985

Soundboard recording


Another great torrent from Mexminute/TheCommish
(from the Mexminute archives)

In the late 60s and early 70s, very few artists enjoyed the popularity of Three Dog Night.  The group charted twenty-one Top 40 hits in a little over a half decade. 

In this particular show, twenty of the group's twenty-one Top 40 singles were played (only "Out In The Country"--which reached #15 on the charts--wasn't played).

For a group that enjoyed such immense popularity, it's dumbfounding that there aren't more Three Dog Night shows floating around, but let's at least be thankful for this one, as it's a beauty...and a must for anyone who likes Three Dog Night!


Setlist:  (Billboard Top 40 positions noted parenthetically)
101. One Man Band (#19)
102. The Family Of Man (#12)
103. Black And White (#1)
104. Sure As I'm Sittin' Here (#16)
105. An Old Fashioned Love Song (#4)
106. Brand New Day 
107. Til The World Ends (#32)
108. Play Something Sweet (Brickyard Blues) (#33)
109. Country song teases
110. Never Been To Spain (#5)
111. Liar (#7)
112. It Ain't Easy

201. Shambala (#3)
202. Pieces Of April (#19)
203. One (#1)
204. Let Me Serenade You (#17)
205. Easy To Be Hard (#4)
206. Try A Little Tenderness (#29)
207. The Show Must Go On (#4)
208. Mama Told Me (Not To Come) (#1)
209. Joy To The World (#1)
210. Eli's Coming (#10)
211. Celebrate (#15)

Lineage:
SBD > 1st gen cassette > CDR > EAC > WAV > Editing (below) > FLAC Frontend > FLAC


Editing notes:
Track 101:  Reduced volume -4dB (0:13-0:28 mark--reduced announcer's band intro)
Track 102:  Increased volume +2dB (from 0:19 mark until end of song)
Tracks 103-112 and Tracks 201-209:  Increased volume +2dB


Leads vocals:  Danny Hutton, Cory Wells, Chuck Negron (Yes, including Chuck!)


TheCommish notes:
Overall, a very nice-sounding show.  The vocals are prominent in the mix, but you'd expect that for two reasons: (1) Three Dog Night is primarily a vocal-based act, and (2) the smaller venue meant the guitars didn't need additional amplification from the soundboard.

Per Wikipedia, Three Dog Night's 1985 spring/summer tour was postponed to allow Chuck Negron time to check into rehab to combat his recurring drug problem.  As it turns out, Chuck suffered a relapse during the tour and was fired by the band in December 1985, a month after this show...and that was the last time all three lead vocalists performed together in Three Dog Night. 

After cleaning up his act, Chuck approached Danny and Cory in the early 1990s about re-joining the group but due to various circumstances, a re-group never occurred.

Mahavishnu Orchestra 04/21/72
Emerson Gymnasium, Cleveland, OH
Case Western Reserve University

According to John McLaughlin, Columbia refused a live release of this show. John McLaughlin himself feels that this show in Cleveland is one of the best that the Mahavishnu Orchestra has ever done. As Irony would have it, Columbia asked their engineer and Gregg Bendian to assist with the release of this live CD. A mix was made and sent for approval to John McLaughlin. No word from Columbia since.

2. You Know You Know
3. The Dance of Maya

There is some tape hiss, but it is not bad at all for a '76 show.  You can hear the crowd, especially between songs and during quiet parts, but during the songs mostly you can't hear them.  Someone in the band says "Hello Seattle" after LITF and "Thank You Seattle" after Topaz.

It is amazing that these pre-perry shows are showing up, and with such good quality too!

Radiohead
Glastonbury Festival
Pilton, England
June 28, 1997

Source (tracks 1-3): BBC Transcription Services "In Concert" CD > CDR(?) > SHN > WAV > * (see notes) > FLAC
Source (Rest of show): SBD > EMI Promo Cassette > WAV > CDR > SHN > WAV > * (see notes) > FLAC

Notes:
This show has circulated from a few different sources, and sometimes in incomplete form.  This particular source supplies most of the show from the EMI promo cassette.  The only problem with the EMI promo is that it didn't include the first three tracks of the show... "Lucky," "My Iron Lung," or "Airbag." 

When I received this show in SHN format the BBC sourced tracks were in one folder, and the EMI sourced tracks in another.  If you were to simply take the BBC tracks and place them before the EMI tracks you were left with a sloppy transition (the end of the BBC source seemed to cut out abruptly, and didn't flow smoothly into the EMI source). 

What I have done here is basically taken the last track of the BBC source ("Airbag") and crossfaded it with the first track from the EMI source ("Planet Telex").  What you're left with is a very smooth transition from one source to the other, giving the impression that this is a complete show taken from a single source. 

The only other issue that existed with this show was that there was some slight static/crackling on the BBC source (maybe this is why it wasn't used for the entire show).  I have taken the BBC source and ran it through GoldWave's Pop/Click Filter, and this issue has been slightly improved.  Before I used the filter you could hear the static a little bit, now you can only hear it if you're looking for it, either way, it's barely noticeable and doesn't interfere with the listening experience.

The overall volume and mix of each source seemed to be about the same, so no further adjustments were made.

I encoded the files to FLAC (level 8) with Trader's Little Helper, and also corrected the SBE's (which were most likely a result of my edits).  I have included the original text files that I received with each source, and also "before" and "after" samples of the transition edits that I made between d1t03-d1t04.

(https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.VhPdxSQ_Ft74lePATK1g2gHaGr?pid=ImgDet&rs=1)

For 'Think...It's all good', bass player Dean Peer (1959) put together an unusual ensemble in which equal parts of folk, funk, jazz and Indian music are melted into an exciting new amalgam. A true master on the electric bass guitar and famous for his ground-braking harmonics techniques, our man from Boulder, Colorado, has always been into creating new sounds. Not only on his instrument, but also when it comes to ensemble sound. For his third album and debut on Turtle Records, Peer put together tablas and various other percussion, violin, jews' harp and harmonica. For the album that was recorded in a Mennonite church in Amsterdam, Peer teamed up with violinist Stephen Trishmen, percussionist Ty Burhoe and Howard Levy on harmonica, jews' harp and other 'mouth instruments' like a double ocarina, a four hole pewter ocarina and even a Spa mineral water bottle.

In the meticulously composed framework of the music there's plenty of room for experiment and improvisation. Rhythm and grooves form a firm base on which a truely transparant arrangement of melody, harmonics and chords can florish. As said, the ingredients reveal musical traces from all over the world, though the first impressions of freedom, funky grooves and virtuoso, sometimes electrically manipulated (violin) playing, give 'Think...It's all good' a particularly Western, contemporary feel.

With Jazz In The New Harmonic, David Chesky and his band of all-star jazz musicians fuse 21st century classical harmonies with the city's rhythms to create a new genre of jazz.  Jazz In The New Harmonic liberates the pulse, soul, energy, and groove from past traditions; it's the first encounter with the transcendental music of our age.  Chesky is a first-class provocateur, and his 21st century classical harmonic approach is kicked into high gear with this streamlined New York groove machine

This is a 1st gen 48kHz recording of the RTL Radio broadcast from 2 December 1972. Like other sources from this date it
does not feature Speak to Me or Breathe.

The correct running time of the concert is about 90 minutes. My DAT has about 8 minutes of duplicated music with 4 in 15
secs repeated during Any Colour You Like and another 3 mins 40 secs minutes during Blues. Somebody might like to edit the
extra music out but I decided it was best to avoid the temptation.

I normalized the WAV but no other processing has been applied.

For those of us that don't speak digital, what do the following anacronyms stand for (and what does it mean)?
"SBD > CDR > ? > SHN > TLH > FLAC > TLH (fixed SBEs) > FLAC"
I think that Flac is some sort of digital file.  CDR?  Recordable compact disc? The rest I have no clue.

Excellent question @ S Clark. At its heart, the information is meant to indicate the source of the recording. There is also a transfer process, which itself has similar information. You could view that type of information in my Grateful Dead post January 28, 2023, 12:39:48 PM.

But this information you've quoted from my most recent post in this thread is strictly "source of the recording" information.

The "SBD" means it's a soundboard recording. The ">" means the next step in the chain. The "CDR" means Compact Disk Media. The "SHN" means shorten. Shorten is a type of lossless compression (and a file format of its own, albeit it cannot be played without having to decompress it). The "TLH" means the files were parsed through the traders little helper program to check for errors. And, the FLAC means "Free Lossless Audio Codec format" which traders litttle helper converted the SHN file into. The reason for that conversion is that the shorten format cannot accommodate file attributes, such as album art, whereas the FLAC format can. The "TLH (fixed SBEs) " means traders little helper was used yet again to fix sector boundary errors. Sector Boundary Errors can occur when an audio cdr is burned. If the original files aren't cut in just the right place, then you'll get an unwanted transition between where one track ends and the next track begins (and the potential for noise/pops: http://wiki.etree.org/index.php?page=SectorBoundaryDiscussion )

And yes, FLAC is a digital file. It is a lossless compressed file, the defacto standard for streaming and file distribution. But, unfortunately not the optimum/best for playback. Another note is that SHN can only be used in the case of 16/44.1 file sets, as SHN does not support any kind of high resolution.

I hope this answers your question. If not, by all means, continue to pose additional questions. I am happy to answer them.  :)

It's not really an analog versus digital thing. Digital is way simpler. You asked the question, hence I answered it. The good part about digital is you don't need to know all that stuff all you need to do is have the file and play it. You don't have to care about the source of the recording, or the transfer of the recording, or anything else. The only concern you have is how good does it sound to you.  :thumb:

Now if you prefer analog for other reasons that too can be valid. But even in the analog domain whether you're talking about vinyl or whether you're talking about magnetic tape the same questions can be raised as to the source of the music and how it ultimately made its way onto the vinyl or ultimately made its way onto the  tape. For instance if it's a live or studio recording, even if you're listening to it in an analog format, say on LPS or as you state vinyl,  you might want to know what microphone was used, etc. 8)

 I've heard some amazing digital- even in my own room!  Our HAL (Rich) sent his first prototype music server to me to try and review close to a decade ago...
And I agree that Digital is probably simpler, if you know your way around basic computer stuff.    I don't, and for me vinyl is simpler.  Setting up a cartridge is 15-30 minutes.  Trying to figure out why a dac won't connect to a computer is like being lost in the woods at night.

Oh gosh yes, which pressing plant? first pressing or? which cutting? who did the cutting? Analog is far from simple...

Well, truth told, I have gone down that rabbit hole a bit.  When I was really building my jazz and classical collection, I was very aware of recording engineers, which stampers, etc.  I used to peruse Ebay  searching for "Victrola 1s".  The plum label Victrola pressings were the equals of RCA shaded dogs, but only bringing 1/3 the price.  Find a first stamper of a top recorded performance, and you've got that classic RCA sound on the cheap.   
It's still somewhat true

The Mercury Living Presence bargains were the Dutch "Golden Import" repressings that were far superior sounding to the original US pressings.... but were completely ignored by collectors. 

In jazz, I looked for the French DMM Blue Notes from the 1980's.  Again, the critics blasted them, but to my ears they were superior to the American Blue Notes of the '70s but not quite what the pressing from '57-'66

Well, for one, I simply transfer the data in the liner notes that are distributed with the music. So, I never actually witnessed this firsthand. However, if you desire, I can readily make this recording available for you here on the forum thread to download. It sounds real, real, good. Clearly, an audience as you can hear folks, claps, etc. Whether or not it's actually in a gymnasium I cannot say. I can add that music distributed via peer-to-peer BitTorrent trading (which is my origin in this and all other cases) is vetted very seriously. Fingerprint files accompany the music, and the uploader is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the notes files. If it's found the uploader has blatantly and knowingly lied, the person is banned from uploading. Extremely rare that that has occurred.  If you want it, just let me know.  :)

A GEMS production -+-+- www.shnflac.net -+-+- November 2006

This is an intimate portrait into a bygone era where excessive drinking, racial epitaphs and sexual innuendo’s were not just tolerated, but celebrated.

Your probably noticing the short length of the tracks, even the songs, well seems they were having so much fun a song rarely got finished. ;)

Although the banter may be a bit much, I would recommend this GEM for the music alone. I found myself identifying with a couple of these tunes and repeating them over and over even after I finished this project.

This my friends is a true GEM in every sense of the word.njoy!

My wife and I watched the old screw ball comedy "A Mighty Wind" a few nights ago, and as I was fixing dinner I asked the kitchen Echo to play a song... and got the whole soundtrack.  We sat and listened to the whole thing.  I'm always amazed at how talented these comedic actors are... they wrote the songs, played the instruments, and did the singing. Eugene Levy can actually sing!

This was a fun show to work on. Very dynamic. I haven't heard anything live from this band until this show and I must say, I am very impressed. Tom did a fantastic job on this pull. Absolutley crystal clear. Thanks for being there to capture it!!
This is a great show, Listening to Javon and jimmy trade fours on some of these tunes makes you feel like your right back at the clubs in the 60's. Very little done on this one other than a decent gain boost and knocking some off off the high hat crashes that were very up front on this recording.

No!

Peer-to-peer trading is strictly based on non-commercial releases of music.

If you want this recording I'm happy to make it available to you. As I'm listening to it now, I  rate it as a b category audience recording, so clearly nothing spectacular in the way of the recording itself. However if you're a phan of the band and are in line with their technical musical aptitude, it makes it that much better.

Again I'm happy to share it as a download link right here in this thread if you're interested in it, Barry.  :)

Cheap Trick - The Unreleased Steve Albini Sessions
60m44s

Studio recording > ? > shn > wav > flac frontend level 8 > flac

Tracks:
01 - Hello There
02 - Big Eyes
03 - Downed
04 - I Want You to Want Me
05 - You're All Talk
06 - Oh Caroline
07 - Clock Strikes Ten
08 - Southern Girls
09 - Come On, Come On
10 - So Good to See You
11 - Fan Club
12 - I Want You to Want Me (alternate)
13 - Can't Hold On
14 - I'm Losing You (Lennon)
15 - Oh Caroline (alternate)

Tracks 1-10 are the "In Color" album re-recorded.  Tracks 11-15 are outtakes and alternates.

From the original compiler:
- On the "Rockline 2003" show, someone called in and asked the band for the
history behind this disc, and Bun E. Carlos gave the explanation.  The "In
Color" album was produced by Tom Werman, but the band always felt that Werman
screwed up the album.  "He made it safe for radio, but the album sounds like
it was done in a cardboard box."  So about five years ago [late 1990s] they were in the
studio hanging around with the producer Steve Albini, and had nothing to do
for a few days, so they said "Yeah, that would be fun to redo that."  So they
started re-recording the songs.  They have not finished it yet, haven't gotten
all the harmonies or instruments on it yet, but someday they might finish it
and piggyback release it as a bonus disc with something else.

15: wild west end 6:13
16: where do you think you're going? 4:20

This recording captures Dire Straits at what for me is the career high point of their
magical third album, Making Movies, playing what had to be a special show at the tiny,
500-capacity Roxy in West Hollywood.

It's a captivating, intimate performance and boasts unique arrangements of some tracks
along with less frequently played material like "Les Boys."

This is the same underlying source recording that circulates as "Roxy Los Angeles 1980"
and has been torrented before. But the circulating version is several generations
downstream from this copy and suffers from many negative sonic artifacts
and attempts to clean up what was likely a hissy, high-generation source.
You'll find this edition materially clearer, full fidelity and ultimately
much more listenable. Samples provided, including what the circulating version sounds like.

The tapes we transferred fell into our hands somewhat accidentally, but have a
provenance going back at least 20 years before a kind soul gave them to us a few months ago.
Thanks to our mystery benefactor.

The recorded event time immediately after the song or item name is an attempt at getting the "real" time of the event. So, a timing of [m:ss] right after a song title is an attempt to say how long the song really was, as represented on this recording.

That's a nice easy sound.  Horace Parlan is the pianist on lots of great jazz albums... Doin' Alright by Dexter Gordon, Uh Um by Charlie Mingus, That's It by Booker Irvin, and Up at Minton's by Stanley Turrentine-- and that's just albums that I've got.  I don't think he ever got his spot amongst the elite pianist that he deserved.

OF COURSE, DON'T FORGET that it still my good friend Barcode_Boy who is uploading this

I am a huge fan of Sting, and have most of his work.  But I don't think I've got a single "live" performance. 
I tend to think that studio work is better recorded in general, and Sting's work is very well recorded.

How do I listen to this?

Hi S Clark.

The comment to which you're quoting me was made in the post in which I was listening to Sting, 2/27/1985 which was three days ago. The answer to your question is simple. First, what show do you want? I ask because your reply comes after my latest post, Santana, 18 February 1978. Once you let me know what you want, I shall then prepare the music for you. By that I mean I shall post a link herein this thread for you to download a single zip file, the contents would be flac and other associated files belonging to the show. You would then play the flac file(s) on whatever device you currently use to playback digital files. EDIT: or separate subject, if you're a digital aficionado, would first decompress the flac to wav.

Having gone through this procedure more than 1000 times in my life with various individuals, I discovered a problem the last time I distributed files in this manner to ejk / Evan. Suffice it to say I understand what the issue was, and succinctly speaking it has to do with the 256-character limitation of windows. No worries there at this point as I've devised a way to circumvent that issue. Besides, that is only problematic in cases where folder names and/or file names are very long, which was the case in what I had distributed. Even then, I made a correction and redistributed the files, which according to my records were not subsequently downloaded and have since expired.

Back to you, S Clark. Just let me know what show you're interested in.  :)

Best.

Hal

I was listening to them today as I was running errands and thought that they might be of interest to some people here.  David Jacobs-Strain and Christopher worth came across my bow at one of the 4th of July Portland Blues Festivals back before the world changed.  David usually does short west coast tours with harmonica player Bob Beach.  Always a good show, no matter what the make up. That odd looking dobro that David plays is made by Larry Pogreba.  He lives off the grid in rural Montana in the summers and Truth or Consequences NM in the winter.  He is one eclectic dude.  https://larrypogreba.com/     There is some interesting music downloadable on his site!

GDHAL, thanks for sending those files.  It took every bit of 5-10 seconds to determine that, for me, the live recording values didn't compare well to studio quality.  And it's not just the gear, as I can compare to some HD Tracks stuff using the same dac, etc.   
I focused on three songs that I knew especially well, listening to each twice. 
I found vocals and drums soft, image precision unfocused, and of course, crowd noise ubiquitous.  However, you can say that there may be an excitement to the live performance that may not be there in studio recordings. 
But we like what we like, and thankfully there is enough good music for all.   :thumb:

Wait,  :shock: this was taken from someone in the audience?  Like those old guys that used to smuggle 3M reel to reels into operas and club dates???  What kind of recording gear is commonly used?  Is any of it licensed?

Yes, Scott. I distributed the notes file with the music which read (among other data)

(TapeTyrant Master Series Volume 28) 

Recording: NAK 300's > Sony TC-D5

Transfer: Master Cassette > Nakamichi DR-01 (azimuth adjusted) > Sound Devices USBPre2 > iZotope RX 8 / ozone 9 (mastered) > xACT 2.50 > FLAC

mjk5510 NOTES: 
--Known Faults:  "Demolition Man": start slightly cut
--Welcome to Volume 28 of our master series featuring the master recordings of dime member "tapetyrant". The series will predominately feature captures in the Northeast and Southern California areas. We will touch on multiple genres with a strong focus on Jazz Fusion, New Wave and Rock.
--Tapetyrant was an active taper in the 1980's and much of the 1990's before, like many of us, hanging up the mics. What he captured during that time is uniformly excellent quality and his master tapes have been safely stored, the first batch are in pristine condition. Some shows may circulate from lower generation copies but most have remained uncirculated until now and have never circulated directly from the masters.
--Prior to DAT, the heavy lifting was entirely done by a Sony D5 with NAK 300's and taping was serious business, acquiring the best seats possible and working to keep neighbors in check.
--Volume 28 features one of the early performances of Sting kicking off his solo career. This is the third of three nights at The Ritz and it's a beautiful capture.
--Previous releases for this show include another D5 capture that misses "Roxanne" and "Shadows In the Rain" appears to be joined in progress. As well as a 2nd Generation tape transfer that is likely this capture. This torrent edition has been azimuth adjusted, pitch adjusted and (re)mastered for maximum quality.
--For the most part the audience is manageable around tapetyrant, except maybe the young ladies begging Sting to play "I Burn For You", good news is as I do with all my releases any external interfering audience noise has been removed where possible including much of the "I Burn For You" ladies.
--Thanks as always to goody for the pitch confirmation/adjustments these shows would not be half as good without him and of course continued thanks to "tapetyrant" for doing such a great job capturing these important shows, for reaching out and entrusting me to present his excellent work for all to enjoy for decades to come.
--We are indebted to his generosity (tapers don't let those tapes and your hard work get lost to the ages, there are plenty of folks to get in touch with here to help get them out, we're all working to leave no tape behind).
--Artwork and samples included.

mjk5510 and tapetyrant 

vanillag NOTES (9/28/2022): 
--Super HUGE Thanks to TapeTyrant for recording & sharing this Sting 1985 "secret" gig show & to mjk5510 for the transfer & share & to goody for his part in the pitch process.  More fine work all around & Absolutely appreciated!! 
--Sting played three "secret" gigs at New York's Ritz on 1985-02-25, 1985-02-26 & 1985-02-27.
--the Police had played here before on 1981-01-11. 
--After these three Ritz shows Sting flew to Barbados to spend five weeks recording. 
--Sting did not play bass on this tour
--I corrected some of the song titles toward how they appear on the original albums 
--added the band members info
--added some more detail to the setlist
--added the ffp fingerprints to the text file
--added more info to the venue

See here's the rub. If you like studio recordings, fine. Now how many times can/will you listen to the same recording? Live music is just that, live, which means it is going to be "different" than any other the time the same artist performs the same song.  8) :thumb:

@ S Clark I just sent you a PM with a download link for

Sting with Jerry Garcia -
1993-06-26 - RFK Stadium - Washington, DC

it is a soundboard master

Sting was the opener for The Grateful Dead. This was recorded by a member of the GD lighting crew. A nice full soundboard direct recording. Jerry Garcia sits in toward the end of Sting's set.

If this recording doesn't have you convinced (as far as studio vs live recordings) then there's nothing left to do but  :) :) :)

I wonder how many of these live recordings are licensed by the owner of the music?  I'm guessing most of these are bootleg?
I can't believe that Rush gave their blessings to a performance recorded on a cassette deck.

I don't know. I can tell you 12 January 1978 of Rush is a very fine recording indeed!

@S Clark

Scott -

In the case of rush I included the name and email address of the person who mastered the recording.
Carl Morstadt (dantalion8@yahoo.com)

By all means send him an email and ask aLL the questions you want.

aLL of my music is sourced from the largest BitTorrent trading sites in the world. Such as but not limited to (you can Google to find the url if you're interested)

Lossless Legs
Traders Den
Dime A Dozen
BT etree

Those sites have been operational for years. I'd have to think if there was anything "illegal" going on they would have been shut down long time ago.

To my understanding the rule of thumb for bittorent trading is everything is fair game as long as it hasn't been commercially released material.

Best.

Radiohead
September 16, 2000
Goffertpark
Nijmegen, The Netherlands

Source: FM - Remastered                

Lineage: Dimeadozen (SHN) > TLH > WAV > Cool Edit 2 > Steinberg ME Compressor > Har-Bal EQ > Waves L3 > TLH > FLAC (6)

One of my favourite Radiohead shows. It sounded alright, but in my opinion, this show needed a proper mastering job.
I didn't do much though. Some slight compression, especially on the low end. It's a little deeper without any "booming" now. Some EQ was applied to achieve a more balanced sound, i.e. slightly more presence and a mild dip around 250Hz.
Two annoying buzzes in Paranoid Android were succesfully removed. 
All differences are subtle, but worth the effort if you ask me.
I hope you'll enjoy this. I do.

Enjoy & play it loud.

---------------------------------------------------

This recording has never been on TTD, even though there has been a couple different versions in circulation.

If you enjoy Loggins & Messina and don't have this date, then i think you'll like this one.

This is probably from a low gen or master tape, I just can't verify it.

The CD tracks needed a bit of adjusting, so I re-tracked it and balanced the volume.

This CD also played very slow,  I pitched it up +8 semitiones.  I believe it's near perfect pitch now.

Check samples for quality.


Band line up
Kenny Loggins – vocals, rhythm guitar, acoustic guitar, harmonica
Jim Messina – vocals, lead guitar, acoustic guitar, mandolin, dobro
Doug Livingston - steel guitar

Elvis Costello and The Great American Beauties
Great American Music Hall
San Fransisco, CA
September 30, 2022 (Late Show)


The Great American Beauties are . . .

Austin de Lone - keyboards, accordion
Larry Campbell - guitar, fiddle, vocals
Teresa Williams - vocals
Ruth Davies - bass
Paul Revelli - drums
Allan Mayes - vocals, guitar
Jim Lauderdale - vocals, guitar


Elvis Costello Sings Hunter/Garcia - a benefit for Prader-Willi Homes of California

Great show for an even greater cause. Elvis Costello puts a crack band together and plays two shows (early and late) of mostly Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter songs to benefit Prader-Willi Homes of California. PWHC is a nonprofit dedicated to creating a state-of-the-art residential center in the San Francisco Bay Area for people with Prader-Willi syndrome. Austin and Lesley de Lone are the founders. More info here . . .

https://www.praderwillihomes.org


Gravenb recorded both the early and late shows. The late show is the longer, better, and better sounding of the two.  Several Hunter/Garcia songs, a Rusty reunion, and other various tunes make up a great sounding and unique show. Caroline de Lone's opening song is included, but you can leave it off you version if you wish and the EC part will be complete. Samples below.


24bit 48K recording.  If you still burn to CD, it's pretty easy to convert the files to CD specs.  Most burning programs do it internally.  If burning, divide the discs before Ship Of fools.  If not, the show will play seamless.

Tape flips lost the beginning of "Ain’t Nothin’ You Can Do" and "Troubadours"
A couple microphone dropouts were patched from the opposite channel during "I've Been Working"
A little applause from elsewhere was tacked on after "Moonshine Whiskey" to smooth out the tape flip

Thanks to Professor Goody for the speed/pitch correction offsets.
Jewel box artwork by ethiessen1, many thanks for the beautiful covers on this and so many other shows.
Finally, thanks to John Musgrave for loaning me his tape collection.

Some notes: This is one of the final concerts from the Fear of Music Tour, among the last shows as the four-piece band. This is the first of two nights, the shows were opened by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark and U2. Found a Job cuts in near start of the first verse after a tape flip. It's a strange show, some technical difficulties, a little dis-jointed...after Life During Wartime, David tells the crowd not to bother clapping, the show is over, and they skip Take Me To the River.

Yesterday and today I had the TV fired up and muted, as I watched the NCAA men's basketball games (simultaneous still listening to music).

** CENSORING CERTAIN TRACK NAMES ***

The Buzzcocks
Club 57
New York, NY
September 1, 1979

WPIX-FM > Cassette (generation unknown) > CD (Teac) > PC (via EAC) > Cool Edit (BBE,L3,Track divides) > FLAC (Level 6)

Another tape that has lain in a box for many years but is now being revisited. Purchased who knows where for heaven knows what. This has had a little bit of tidy up processing on the PC. BBE Enhancer to make the Hi Hat stand out more clearly and then L3 Multimax to raise the levels to a more reasonable level without going OTT. No noise reduction was required, the tape hiss wasn't a problem at all.

There was a distinct break between the two sides of the tape (between "Nothing Left At All" & "Noise Annoys"), so I've faded out rather than trying to fudge a join between them.

This is a "Save the Wail" production for no financial gain. Share & Enjoy!

01. I Don't Mind
02. What Do I Get?
- 03. Love You More - *
04. Harmony In My Head
05. 16
06. Autonomy
07. Moving Away From The Pulsebeat
08. Nothing Left At All
09. Noise Annoys
10. Breakdown
11. censored
12. Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)
13. Everybody's Happy Nowadays
14. "crowd noise"
15. Boredom
16. censored

* Track 03 "Love You More" appears on "Lest We Forget," an official albeit OOP, ROIR live Buzzcocks compilation tape, and so was removed par moi.

*In the middle of The Last Time the camera seems to shoot
away from the stage suddenly. Perhaps the taper was spotted
by security.  This makes sense, as the Johnny B. Goode
encore is filmed in a completely different location.

I came across this tape in a box.  I don't remember where
I got it.  The images are quite nice.  Audio seems to be
from the camera mics.  It is uncirculated as far as I know.

"Nassau Coliseum Soundcheck"
Uniondale, NY
December 27, 1989

WBAB-FM Broadcast > Maxell XLII-90 off air master > NAK BX-125 > M-Audio 24/96 > Adobe Audition > WAV > Flacfrontend > Flac 6

I'm calling this a sound check, although some may call it a rehearsal, of Billy Joel performing songs by a myriad of artists. Basically hamming it up and pretending because "we're on the air" that the guest artist is actually present. Many of these songs are just portions of the song, not complete run-throughs. There is commentary by DJ Bob Buchman mingled in with the performance. I found a set-list on the net of this performance but it ended after "Born To Be Wild" so I suspect there may be an abbreviated version of this performance in circulation. If that is so, then this is about twice as long. Enjoy!

This (AT-172) is part of the Atlasstar Attic Treasures Series. My attic consists of thousands of cassettes collected since the 70's. I will post them in no particular order as I pull them out of the attic and convert to digital. Some of these artists I know well and collect myself, other I know little about just picked up along the way. I will provide as much info as I can but if anyone can add any insight to the recordings it would be appreciated.  If the same recording is circulating in better quality please let me know as I have no intention of polluting the trading pool.

All recordings are kept as original as possible with minimal processing. Unless noted otherwise the only adjustments made are Automatic Phase Correction, Level adjustments and cleaning of any rough or abrupt cuts.

Recorded by: Smores.

Mastered, edited & tracked by AlexPhoenix. 

I track shows so that the start of the track is as close to the start of the music as possible, with any applause etc at the end of the tracks and in-between chat/banter tracked separately where possible. That way, a listener can line up the tracks in their player and skip from the end of a song to the start of the next track. As interesting and delightful as Judy's anecdotes may be, I (for one) would not like to hear them repeatedly.

Bill: Judy Collins/Richard Thompson

Judy Collins has inspired audiences with sublime vocals, boldly vulnerable songwriting, personal life triumphs, and a firm commitment to social activism. In the 1960s, she evoked both the idealism and steely determination of a generation united against social and environmental injustices. Six decades later, her luminescent presence shines brightly as new generations bask in the glow of her iconic 50-album body of work, and heed inspiration from her spiritual discipline to thrive in the music industry for half a century.

Lineage: SP-CMC-8 mics > SP-SBSP-1 battery box > Edirol R05 (24/48) > Adobe Audition CC2020 (level boost) > WAV > AlexPhoenix > Audacity: Click removal to attenuate loud applause, some stubborn applause peaks removed, normalized to -1.0db, applause after Suzanne shortened, tracked > TLH > Flac Level 8

Recorded by: Smores.

Mastered, edited & tracked by AlexPhoenix. 

I track shows so that the start of the track is as close to the start of the music as possible, with any applause etc at the end of the tracks and in-between chat/banter tracked separately where possible. That way, a listener can line up the tracks in their player and skip from the end of a song to the start of the next track. As interesting and delightful as Judy's anecdotes may be, I (for one) would not like to hear them repeatedly.

Bill: Judy Collins/Richard Thompson

Judy Collins has inspired audiences with sublime vocals, boldly vulnerable songwriting, personal life triumphs, and a firm commitment to social activism. In the 1960s, she evoked both the idealism and steely determination of a generation united against social and environmental injustices. Six decades later, her luminescent presence shines brightly as new generations bask in the glow of her iconic 50-album body of work, and heed inspiration from her spiritual discipline to thrive in the music industry for half a century.

I haven't listened to my Judy Collins CD in a long time. Thanks for the suggestion.  :thumb:

Sometime later today I shall be listening to Grateful Dead, October 6, 1977 from the Activity Center (ASU) in Tempe, AZ. Just yesterday, and for the first time, the *complete* show has been put into circulation, by GD pioneer Charlie Miller. This is a SBD > Cassette Master > DAT (48k) > WAV and has been mastered in Adobe Audition CC2015 > Samplitude Pro X3 Suite to remove dozens of clicks and make it pitch correct. Previous sources were missing the overwhelming majority of set 1. Today will be a good day.

Comments:

A lot of the chatter you hear was generated by one guy two places along from me.  He had a big mouth and I did ask him to be quiet once but he obviously found it very difficult.  He seemed to want to show off for his girlfriend, unlike the two infront of me who were busy exploring each other's throat in between boogieing.

Recording Notes:

The recording was made from second row left (facing the stage). One mike was pointed at the stack in front of us and the other at the stage. It demonstrates the problems of being too close to the PA but I still give it an EX.

Source for t1: Unknown Audience Recording > ? > FLAC
Original notes: "explosive AUD; only one track, it`s be nice to hear more complete...irie!"

Source for t2 through 10: SBD > 3rd Generation Cassette [Maxell XLII] > Kenwood 1050CT > Xitel Inport USB > WAV > FLAC
Original Notes: "For a board tape, this one pretty much sucks. The vocal are VERY low, the drums come through very clear??/I'm not complaining about that..But most want to hear Bob especially on such a great performance as this one.. Nothing done to this straight transfer...Bass is a little heavy and some hiss is present.."
Transfer done on August 2rd, 2006 by T.Jones

Additional lineage for t2 through t10:
Izotope RX9 [DC Offset removal & Azimuth] > Audacity [for speed correction, normalization & tagging] > WAV 16bit > TLH [fix SBE's & encoded to FLAC]

Notes:
- First show of the Exodus Tour & Junior Marvin's first show as a Wailer.
- Tracks 2 through 10 was mislabeled as the 2nd Rainbow Theater concert [June 2nd], and is known to most reggae collectors as "the low vocals show". The last two tracks of that mislabled show [Get Up Stand Up & Exodus] is from May 13th, Den Haag, Netherlands.
- Count Prince Miller was the MC for the entire Exodus Tour
- Half of No Woman & No Cry & Positive Vibration is plagued by tape speed which is left as it originally was.

From the first part of the 1981 11 15 (L) show there was already a SBD version of unknown generation from pbuzby's collection on the Zappateers tracker. Recently someone sent pbuzby a surprise: a CD with a SBD recording of the second part of the 1981 11 15 (L) show, which was previously available only in the AUD version. Since 2020 04 29 there was also an upgrade SBD version of the first part of the show on TTD. These two "new" SBD versions are the basis of this newly compiled show torrent presented here.

Since there are no possibilities for patching, except for the really bad sounding AUD version, we decided to create a complete unpatched SBD version.

Unfortunately, there is also a downer: The track "Alien Orifice", especially the FZ solo, contains quite a few digital glitches - much more than in the rest of the second part of this SBD version. In the 3:18 to 3:25 range there were really bad digital glitches and also longer bad dropouts. I tried to correct these errors and reconstruct the missing parts.

Technical corrections:
Only the technically necessary corrections were made (please see lineage below).
As in old Zappateers tradition, no re-EQ or anything like that was added to the recording.

Audio restoration:
Dropouts in Alien Orifice FZ solo from 3:18 to 3:25 repaired.

Mono or Stereo?
This is a real stereo recording!

To preserve the sound of the original recording as well as possible:
NO fade-in or -out, NO track normalisation, NO soundfilter!

All work on the recording was done in 16/44.1.

In short: There is no music left out!

Tangled Up In Who


Recording: Sound-board

Comments: Absolutely stunning 2 disc set. There are some minor sound deviations at the beginning of most songs and dialogue, but these are quickly corrected. There is a flaw in Eysight To The Blind which runs directly into Christmas (not listed on the back cover) without changing track numbers and the "change-over" suffers a minor drop-out and becomes muddled for approx. 2-3 seconds. My Generation becomes quite muddled half-way through. Between-song dialogue has been left intact which allows for a nice flowing feel to the show.This was the last show of the U.S. tour and also the last time The Who performed Tommy in it's (near) entirety in the U.S until the 25th Anniversary Tour in 1989. The packaging is quite impressive and features a beautiful laminated gatefold cover with picture cardboard inner sleeves. Disc one is red, disc two is blue, both state "Cool Engine"on them. Reference to the "Hiwatt" label is only made on the back cover. Get it, listen to it and hang on to this one.

JEMS master and excellent sounding but slightly bass heavy incomplete recording. This show captures the T-Birds touring in support of their Butt Rockin' album as an opening act for Eric Clapton. This is some grade A+ down home and dirty blues that only a master like Jimmy Vaughan could play.

d1t03. Chasin' the Bird (C. Parker) 5:45
d1t04. 52nd Street Theme (T. Monk) 4:01

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:

- Another decent quality show with some hiss removal used. The remaining light
hiss and an occasional light pop or crackle does not mar a fine performance. 

- Tracks are discontinuous in this version but complete.

- Kenny Hagood performs only on Track 03, "You Go to My Head"

- Unlike most of the other recorded broadcasts from the Royal Roost this show is not known to circulate with the announcer comments.

- The quintet featured in this show is made up of a subset of the Miles Davis Nonet, missing  Michael Zwerin (tb), Junior Collins (frh), Bill Barber (tuba), Gerry Mulligan (bs), and substituting Dillon Russell from the Charlie Parker Quintet for Al McKibbon on bass.

Rush
Phillips Arena

"One Big Victory" - created by fans for the fans - free trade only - not for sale!

Here is a monitor mix (mono) from the Vapor Trails tour. Monitor mixes are sent wirelessly to each band member, who listen through an earpiece. It's not clear to me if the source is directly from the soundboard or if it was intercepted by a scanner, but my best guess is the latter. While the sound is mono (indicative of scanners), the sound is consistently clear and fuller than I'd expect from a scanner source. Regardless, this is an absolutely superb recording of Rush on their Vapor Trails tour. The original source has been remastered and the new sound is very clear with nice depth and punch. While the low end isn't nearly as bottomless as "Rio" you can hear every detail here (including Geddy's impromptu cough in the first verse of "Limelight"). One of the nice things about this show is the band were playing their "B" setlist, which included "Between Sun And Moon", "Vital Signs", "Ceiling Unlimited" and the Monty Python break at end of "Big Money" (instead of The Simpsons). If you're looking for a great sounding show from this tour, definitely check this out!  - Ant

The tape captures Blues Traveler as its career was taking off.  The band had been playing for a while with members of Dreamspeak and the Spin Doctors at a Columbia fraternity, Delta Phi, and was playing local clubs like Nightingales, Mondo Perso, 712 Club, and Wetlands (opened February 1989), as well as free concerts in Prospect Park and at local colleges (RealityFest at SUNY Albany was the following day, the 15th). 

The taper, a member of the Phi and friend of the band, decided to "matrix" the SBD and AUD feeds by recording each to a separate channels, but this resulted in a 12 ms delay between channels.  This delay is audible and present in all other circulating recordings.  Here, the delay has been removed and each mono feed mixed to stereo.  (From the start through Rock Me Baby, the SBD feed was barely present and thus the first two tracks are mostly AUD.)

Unknown Location.  The contents of both media turned out to be the same.  From the stereo mix differences between tracks it appears that T01-03 & T09-11 are from the same gig while T04-08 & T12-13 are from two different gigs.  Does Winter/Late Summer mean (whichever portions that refers to) the recordings are either from Winter or Late Summer or does it mean that part is from Winter & another from Late Summer?

* The DAT tape track lists T02 as ".44" however the lyrics seem to be the same as "Mean Town Blues".

This is the 'early' DSotM set. It has the unedited 'On the Run' jam and all the other 'stuff' from the 'Best of tour '72' show. I am not sure, but I suspect that this is the same show as the new RoIO cd 'Horizons'. Overall the best recording that I have heard of this time period. Recorded at the Nakajima Sports Centre, Sapporo, Japan on March 13th 1972, this well rehersed DSOTM performance with the addition of One Of These Days and Axe, lacks the full show that would have included Echoes and AHM--hence the single CD. A one sided panel insert sleeve serves as a cover with shots of the band and a nice colour shot of Mason's Water Waves bass drums. Sound is best described as clear but lacking in brightness with a constant moderate tape hiss. All in all an interesting document of this period for fans of an embryonic DSOTM. Cold Front contains a fantastic "One of These Days" and a blood-curdling "Careful With That Axe, Eugene."

Thanks for the clarification, Hal and I still appreciate that you include the notes. I often look up artist info when I’m listening via Roon. I think that additional information adds another component to appreciating the music.

B.B. King
Obras Sanitarias Stadium
Buenos Aires, Argentina
October 31, 1992
Audience recording
Lineage: Possible 1st generation cassette copy
Featuring argentinian bluesman Pappo as opening
act and at the encores

Surely for most of the non-argentinians here, the name of Pappo don't mean much, but he was one of the founders and top name at the hard rock and blues in Argentina.  If you here in Argentina think in a rock guitar legend, the first name in the list is Pappo. He recorded lots of albums since 1968 until his death in 2005 at a road accident while driving his Harley.

Back in 1980, B.B. King was playing in Buenos Aires (I think it was his first time in Argentina). B.B. King was one of Pappo's biggest heroes. And decided to personally meet the american bluesman at the hotel. So, he went there with a bottle of good wine and a cheese. And seeing that B.B. King got nicely surprised by the presents, they got in very good relation. He even nicknamed Pappo as "the cheeseman".

12 years later, there was a new visit of B.B. King to Buenos Aires for 3 shows at the Obras Sanitarias Stadium. Each night would have a different local opening act. The 3rd and final night had Pappo's Blues (one of Pappo's bands at that moment).

Pappo did a great opening show, that led the stage warm, and the show of B.B King was amazing that night. Due my love to Pappo's music, I went that night only because I would be enjoying not just the main show, also the opening act. The venue was sold out (5000 persons) and I've seen the show from the left side tribune. The sound and the view was perfect.

Near after 2 hours into B.B. King's show, some people in the crowd started to chant the name of Pappo, and B.K King himself took the mic and said something like "where's Pappo, bring Pappo". At that moment was taking a shower backstage and they've had to go and tell him that Mr. King was asking for him and bring him running to the stage. With his hair still wet, a t-shirt and black leather pants, Pappo got on stage, got a guitar, and jammed 2 songs with B.B. King and the whole band. The people went nuts!!! Pappo and B.B. King were extremely happy and sealed and great friendship that night. Next years they would join again on stage many times in Argentina and also in USA, when Pappo was one of B.B. King's guests on stage at the Madison Square Garden. But the audio of the show you'll have here was the very FIRST time those 2 legends got together on stage.

A few weeks after this show, I was at the sunday's record fair at the Rivadavia Park in Buenos Aires City, and found somebody selling a few cassettes with live shows, and he had a 2 cassettes set, of 90min each tape, for sale. It was the audio of the show of B.B. King with Pappo at Obras. Bought it. Played it a couple of times back in 1992, and the 2 tapes remained at my cassettes storage until now. Over than 25 later, and by request of the great Kingrue, I finally had the time and mood to properly transfer those tapes and share them here with you. Hope you enjoy the audio and the story.

Big thanks are going to Kingrue, who helped me identifying the song titles I didn't know.

Hi Bowie fanatics, here it is, another `76 upgrade. Well, this one was pretty good to start with, and now it`s even better.
I have edited back in, Jean Genie that was missing, and i have also edited in the fals start of Five Years that was also missing.Someone was already dealing with this soundboard, it was mastered pretty loud for my taste but i did not want my remaster to be more quiet than this so they are the same in loudness. But they are different in other things.
I have fixed pitch, phase and levels and then i did the EQ. No compression, limiters or noise reduction!
Erik Snow and Quicksand were very helpful. Erik made another tasty artwork.

Enjoy

NOTES:

What's a better encore to Cruel World (err, more like an encore to Cruel World's own encore, so an encore to an encore?) than seeing The Cure a couple days later? Yeah I can't think of anything better either, so here we are! I, like everyone else probably, failed to get tickets when they first went on sale (even with THREE Hollywood Bowl dates, I was completely shut out - I smell something fishy there), so I had to be patient and keep checking back on Ticketmaster every so often. I was about to give up until I read about some Firefox extension that would help refresh TM's page every few seconds for whatever event date you wanted, so I set it to run on all three days, and the first and only date that had a ticket pop up that I was able to purchase was for Tuesday. Works for me.

This was my third time seeing the Cure, and the first time since their Pasadena Daydream performance back in 2019. My seat was rather decent, in section G2, though it became apparent I was in the senior citizen section, as no one in that section wanted to stand up. And when I did stand up, for "Pictures of You", one of my favorite songs, I was "heckled" to sit down near the end. Then a couple songs later, duing "Lovesong", when multiple people near me stood up, I stood up again, and then sat back down for a slower song and immediately heard the "Thanks, I can see again asshole!". I flipped the bird and then they barked back. Gosh, I really do hope that by standing, I ruined their first concert ever. Fucking douchebags. Sorry, maybe my concert etiquette is far different than others, given I do a lot of festivals, but if you want to stand, then fucking stand. Who cares? Now if we're discussing these idiots talking during the show? Well that's a whole other issue. But standing? Pff, gimme a fucking break. Here's a big FUCK YOU to all the crybabies in G2. I'd almost not want to release this recording, just to spite those dickheads behind me.

Anyway, back to the show. I thought it sounded great. I was so glad they chose the Hollywood Bowl rather Staples (or Crypto or whatever the fuck it's called now) or Kia Forum. I generally like the Bowl and its sound, so no complaints there. It was pretty cool that they had some sounds of thunder and rain coming through the PA before they took the stage. They eventually started flashing the stage lights like it was lightning, and for a split second I had terrible flashbacks to Cruel World on Saturday night, thinking actual lightning was in the area and this show was going to get cancelled. But no, it was just Robert fucking with us all.

They played a lot of the hits, skipped a lot of the hits, and played some new stuff, including the debut of "Another Happy Birthday". I actually think the new song "And Nothing is Forever" is the best sounding song out of all the new stuff, by a mile. I was blown away by that one. Robert said they all had a "bug" and that he was probably patient zero. That might explain why everyone but Robert looked fucking bored out of their minds on stage. Roger O'Donnell looked like he was auditioning for a new Weekend At Bernie's. I swear, he makes Gilian Gilbert of New Order look like a raving lunatic on stage in comparison. Here's hoping it was just that "bug"...

* 'Gimme Some Lovin' is part of the circulating setlist, so I've left it in, but it's only about a 45 second instrumental tease before Tina gets ahold of her mic and busts out 'Sweet Soul Music'. 

This show is incredible, and a 'must have' for any and all soul freaks.  I got it in a cdr trade not too long ago, and it had sbe's which I've repaired for this seeding.  I also retracked it, and removed one tiny pop during the band intros.

With a foray to Toronto, The Who's 1982 tour rolls on, playing to an enormous crowd outdoors at CNE Stadium. It was John Entwistle’s birthday, and the band put on a show that Who’s News called “another  great one for the Canadians.”

That shouldn’t come as much of a surprise: The Who loved playing in Toronto, the city in which it began or ended many a tour (including this one, with two shows at Maple Leaf Gardens, just two months after this). Moreover, in 1982, new music and a healthy, reinvigorated Pete Townshend propelled Who musicianship to great heights.

“One of the main strengths of the shows,” Jared wrote in Who’s News, “was the basic set being played. When’s the last time you went to see The Who and the show featured five new songs?” With “Athena” appearing in the encore, October 9 includes six.

Highlights include an enthused version of “The Quiet One” that leaves nothing in the tank. Elsewhere, Townshend distinguishes himself with deft and inspired guitar playing, making for strong versions of the songs from “Quadrophenia.” A three-song encore features “something of a Woodstock ending,” Jared wrote, akin to what appeared in the movie.

This master recording sounds very good: it’s fairly clear, close, and contains little in the way of interference from the audience. It was a windy day at CNE, so you’ll hear it in places, but it never distracts from the music. A tape change clips “Five-Fifteen” but a patch from ML’s master keeps it whole.

Once again, I salute my comrades: JEMS, BK, and mjk5510. They’re integral to getting the best of Jared’s Who tapes identified, conserved, mastered, and shared. There’s more to come.

Jared and Stan, of course, remain with us in spirit. Sharing another of Jared’s master tapes to mark the 40th anniversary of a tour he thought so highly of is an honor.

Share it freely, and for free!

The Lost Session: Disraeli Gears Demos - 1CD
Goodbye Albuquerque & Farewell Dallas - 2CD
Goodbye & Farewell - 2CD
Reunion: Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame - 1CD

Show Notes

The tour was in support of The Last Record Album. The band had just finished doing 5 consecutive nights at Paul's Mall (small Boston Club of the era) and this performance was recorded at the Orpheum Theatre (2500 seats) on the night following that run. Perhaps the 5 previous nights help account for the band's over-the-top tightness and rhythmic pocket heard on this performance.

This show was originally broadcast live on WBCN 104.1 FM in Boston. There was at least one re-broadcast on WBCN about 6 months after the show.

Frank Zappa GSW Project Vol. 18 1977 (T-1495)
https://www.discogs.com/release/9226988-Frank-Zappa-L%C3%A4ther

This is Volume 18 in a very large collection of Frank Zappa spoken word releases.  It's called the GSW Project. 
GSW stands for Gigantic Spoken Word.  There will be some music in there but there won't be any live concerts in the GSW Project.  They consist of radio interviews and journalist reporter type personal interviews.  During the radio interviews sometimes music was played as background or added before the broadcast in between questions and answers. 

Sometimes FZ acts as D.J., plays records from his collection and talks to the radio audience.  But the main focus of this series is FZ interviews which to me is as interesting as his music.

The Band That Launched A Thousand Bands. 

A version of this recording marked PCM > DAT circulated in about 2008, minus the last four songs.  This version has about 20 minutes of additional music.  It also had a few dozen digital snits, all of which have been removed.  There's nothing to indicate whether this was SBD > DAT or to a PCM recorder and then DAT.  Either is possible.  A pass with the Ozone 9 Maximizer brought the levels up nicely.

Notes:
- The source for "War" came from an alternative audience recording which had:
Intro > No Woman No Cry;//Lively Up Yourself > Encore Break; War.
The cassette was unfortunely eaten by the tape deck during the transfer process, but the incomplete encore break is all that was able to survive. Apologies in advance to the original taper.
- Several P.A/Monitor problems occurs up until No Woman No Cry
- I Shot The Sheriff ends at the 3rd verse ("Freedom came my way..") due to Bob's malfunctioning microphone
- Tape cut on Lively Up Yourself @ 4:11 & 4:35
- Some Microphone problems during War occurs

The Gladiators - 2001-04-20 Victors By The Sea, Mission Bay San Diego, CA SDB

Great great show from Albert Griffiths.  Sadly not a ton of his circulated
before his passing.  This one is a clean nice soundboard.

Another Classic From The Dubwise Garage Collection and The RASJAY Archives!

About a year ago I digitized over 100 tapes for a friend who suffered a bad brain
injury and wanted his archives preserved and shared.  I will be doing my best to share many of these fine recordings.  Some are new to internet circulation and some are upgrades to others.

Label: none
Lineage: SDR3 FM master or 1st gen. copy from at least two different broadcasts (made with an unknown tapedeck, the tape is a SONY UX-S, because they were cheap) played on Harman Kardon TD 212 > audacity > you
Sound quality: Some FM statics audible - way better than my last BB King post here. But I doubt that the songs are in the correct order! Maybe the speed is correct this time (sounds good to my ears anyway). ;-)

This is another find from my vault:
An absolutely great performance from this legendary festival in the South of Germany.
If you like the blues - and I guess you are because you're reading this text: this IS THE KING of the Blues accompanied by a helluva band and the great CHAKA KHAN on the last three tracks! Play it loud!

01. BB King introduction
02. Let The Good Times Roll
03. Chains Of Love
04. Ain't Nobody Home
05. Sweet Little Angel - Nobody Loves Me But My Mother

Many thanks to the original uploader for sharing this B.B. King broadcast.
The orginal files were running slow. This file set has been pitch-speed corrected with Magix. SBEs fixed with TLH.
"Nobody Loves Me But My Mother" was added to the end of "Sweet Little Angel" to keep that medley as one track.

EN remaster notes
11.21.2014
This smokin' set of N'awlins-style mayhem was apparently captured under who knows what kind of conditions from FM radio back in the 1970s, but suffered from innumerable disturbances and fluctuations in the stereo image that were ultra-distracting. Since it's Dr. John's 74th birthday today, I took yesterday and worked on the show, eventually using an old stereo-mono matrixing-type trick to dial the fluctuations back to semi-tolerable levels and some Sound Forge 9 Graphic Dynamics pixie dust to bring some of the high end out from beneath the murk. It is still a flawed and imperfect recording, but it's a devastating performance with a ridiculous all-star band backing Mac here and I dug the energy of the set... so much so I decided to try to excavate it's essence as best I could. Enjoy and a Happiest of B'days to the Gris-Gris Man his-self.

The Doctor will see you now...

Note: The clear stereo quality is nicely spread across the channels with the bottom end having a subtle warm presents. Liquid seems to have the magic touch when injecting Jones' rhythm back into the stereo mix without sacrificing the punch of Bonham's drums. The editing on this release is quite good, especially the disc transitions, and as expected, it comes with some pretty cool artwork too.  -bb

I taped this off the hard of hearing device at Wolf Trap. the device was mono and the cable stereo so it only recorded on one channel, which I split and fixed up in Goldwave.

d1t04. I Fall in Love Too Easily

-------------------------------------------------------

Notes:

D1t04:Small drop out at 6:01, static from 9:27 to 9:31

- d1t05: odd glitch at :24

- Peter Losin also has 'Round Midnight, No Blues, Masqualero, Riot, and On Green Dolphin Street listed as being played. These are not included on this source

- This show looks to be a high probability for lossy sourcing. This seems to be all too common with Gambit releases.

- The Gambit bootleg also contained 10-31-67 when I received it. I used CD wave to split the single wave file and I have excluded the 10-31-1976 portion that will be offered as it's own LLID. This show is also offered as LL333 which is more complete, but the sound is not as good. It doesn't look to be lossy sourced though and is more complete making it my choice if your being picky as to what you grab.

** AT WIFE'S REQUEST **

Tears For Fears
Brendan Byrne Arena
East Rutherford, NJ
February 18, 1990

Excellent soundboard recording. Lineage: SBD > master cassette > CDR > EAC > WAV > Editing (below) > FLAC Frontend > FLAC

Another stellar recording from "The RS Archives" - a Mexminute/TheCommish production

TheCommish notes:
Well, here we are with another Tears For Fears show from their 1990 tour.  The (Feb. 12, 1990) Cleveland show that was uploaded in Dec. 2008 proved to be OVERWHELMINGLY popular, so despite the fact that I'm not a TFF fan, I asked Mexminute to share this great-sounding show with you as well.

The setlist is similar to the Cleveland show but this one also includes a handful of extra songs (the "Women Of Ireland" intro, "Pale Shelter", "When The Saints Go Marching In" and "The Hurting").

The venue for this particular show was then known as the Brendan Byrne Arena, though locals commonly referred to it as the "Meadowlands Arena".  It later became known as the Continental Airlines arena before being renamed the Izod Center (its current name).

CD 1:
101. Women Of Ireland
102. I Believe (Oleta Adams)
103. Head Over Heels/Broken
104. Change
105. Pale Shelter
106. Woman In Chains
107. Advice For The Young At Heart
108. Mad World 
109. The Working Hour

CD 2:
201. "intro to Famous Last Words"
202. Famous Last Words >
203. When The Saints Go Marching In
204. I've Got To Sing My Song (Oleta Adams)
205. Badman's Song
206. "band introductions"
207. Sowing The Seeds Of Love
208. All You Need Is Love
209. Everybody Wants To Rule The World
210. Year Of The Knife
211. Shout
212. The Hurting (incomplete - fades out)

d1t09  Hallucinations 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Sound quality is ok. Lots of snaps and crackle but that seems par for the course
throughout most of these early recordings.

d1t03- End of song is cut

"During this period Symphony Sid Torin's Friday night/Saturday morning "All Night, All Frantic" show consisted of Sid and Bob Garrity taking requests and playing records, interspersed with short live broadcasts from the Royal Roost and occasionally the Apollo Theater. This set by the Davis Nonet is probably the third transmission from this night -- Sid introduces the broadcast with "And right now, ladies and gentlemen, we're back to the Royal Roost..." The first broadcast was probably the Tadd Dameron Group, which typically opened with the "Jumpin' with Symphony Sid" theme. Next was a set with the Charlie Parker
Quintet (with Davis on trumpet). After a studio break, "Impressions of Modern Music, done with the new Miles Davis organization."

Pace Ken Vail, who claims that the Nonet recordings were made on September 11 and 18, most discographers place the Nonet broadcasts on September 4 and September 18. Here's the evidence:

In an interview published in Downbeat (January 27, 1950, pp. 18-19), Pat Harris notes that the Davis Nonet engagement at the Roost lasted two weeks. Davis confirms this in his autobiography: "Monte Kay booked us [i.e. the Nonet] into the Royal Roost on Broadway for two weeks."

In introducing the Parker Quintet on September 4, Symphony Sid remarks, "And don't forget, here at the Royal Roost, we're bringing to you starting the 7th, the great Dinah Washington, and on the 9th, the great Count Basie and his wonderful organization. It'll be Count Basie, Dinah Washington, and the great Miles Davis organization..."But which organization? Variety reviewed the second-week Roost lineup on September 15, and after enthusing about Count Basie and Dinah Washington, the review concludes, "Relief crew is Miles Davis' outfit. With three rhythm, one trumpet and a sax, it cuts a good session."
This would be the All-Star Quintet with Davis and Lee Konitz, not the Nonet. In the December 1996 issue of Jazz Journal, Konitz is quoted as saying, "The way I remember it, the band [the Nonet] did the first week, and for some reason Miles and I did the second week as a Quintet, with John Lewis, Al McKibbon, and Max Roach."

A September 9 advertisement (sorry, I no longer have the source) includes the following: Opening Tonite Monte Kay Presents "Count Basie & His Great NEW Orchestra," Dinah Washington, and "Miles Davis Quintet featuring Max Roach"

The extant live Roost material from September 11 consists of ten tunes by the Count Basie Group, nothing by other artists.On the basis of this evidence it seems that Davis was booked at the Royal Roost for most of September:

Sept 2-8: Charlie Parker Quintet and Miles Davis Nonet (9/4 recordings of both groups extant)
Sept 9-15: Miles Davis All-Star Quintet (no recording has surfaced)
Sept 16-22: Miles Davis Nonet (9/18 recording extant)
Sept 23-29: Miles Davis All-Star Quintet (9/25 recording extant)

I'm very grateful to Leif Bo Petersen for help with the circumstances of the Royal Roost sessions."

Notes:

- A good quality recording with some light hiss, although some NR has been applied.
 
- This version of the WMCA broadcast from Royal Roost is missing the some of the more obvious phonographic crackle as compared to other circulating versions. 

- The tracks are complete but some cut in or out a little abruptly.

- This version is missing the announcer comments that are known to circulate with some other versions of this show.

- Kenny Hagood performs only on Track 01, "Darn that Dream"

Notes:

- A very good recording for this period with only some light hiss and sparing crackle mostly noticeable during announcements and between audio portions. The dynamic range is somewhat compressed. The tracks run continuously from beginning to end. Last track cuts off on announcer’s outro.

- Peter Losin notes, "The first of the weekly broadcasts of the Parker Quintet from the Royal Roost. Parker began a four-month engagement at the Royal Roost on December 9; the gig ran through March 12, 1949, though as it turned out, Davis didn't stay long." Kenny Dorham replaced Miles Davis on trumpet in Charlie Parker's Quintet starting with the December 25, 1948 Royal Roost show and throughout the remainder of the Quintet's Royal Roost run.  However, Miles was to reappear at the Royal Roost in early 1949 as part of Tadd Dameron's Big Ten line-up.- Notes courtesy Peter Losin, http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/

From "welcome back to the stage" comments at the beginning of track 2, this appears to be the late show.  It was on the same tape as two performances from 12/29/00, and although the J-card was labelled 11/30 the DAT itself was marked 12/30, which is probably right.  There is a touch of static during the banter in track 3, which seems to have come from the stage, not the tape. 

The recording needed some high end and a little oomph, which Ozone 9 provided.  Otherwise, what you hear is what went down.

This video was seeded by honorbak over @ smithstorrents.co.uk (Thanks Honorbak!!). The video is very good, but the audio was an absolute nightmare. Thanks to Arikaware for the audio source for the bootleg "Humdrum Town", I corrected the pitch of each individual song as best to replace over the original audio source.

I hope you all enjoy!

from the original info :

Hey Blues fans. Here is the other show I saw a couple of nights later of Albert King. 
I got part of the first set and all of the second set. This was the 2nd and last time that I saw him perform.  It was at a famous but small jazz club in Washington, D.C. called the Blues Alley. This is the first set and was transferred direct from tape to CDR. I really don't have the personnel info. He does announce the musicians but I never got a chance to jot it down when I transferred this a while ago, sorry. It's about 86 minutes long. Enjoy!

============================================================================

Thanks to all involved in recording and sharing this Albert King show.
The original fileset ran slow. This fileset has been pitch-speed corrected with Magix.
SBE's fixed with TLH. Tracks were renamed to include artist and date. No other changes.

Keith Ferguson's bass was extremely loud and boomy so I used an EQ to reduce it somewhat. It's still too loud but although it's not technically correct it's how it actually sounded and I kind of liked that it that way.

This is one of my personal favorites which I have never seen surface from any other source. This is Texas blues, roadhouse style. Jimmie Vaughan and Kim Wilson are both killing.

I went to The Bayou many times, in the shadow of the Whitehurst Freeway, on K Street in Georgetown down by the Potomac River.

Set one

01. Radio France DJ > Band Intro   0:53
 
Pinetop Perkins - pianist and singer, harmonica - Jerry Portnoy. We will find on the guitar (but he will also sing after intermission)  Luther Johnson Junior. Bob Margolin was another backing guitarist, Calvin Jones the bassist and Willie Smith (but another of the family) was the drummer. So we will hear first personal compositions of Muddy Waters and then also tunes borrowed from Willie Dixon, one of the most prolific blues writers of the 50s and 60s, as well as a famous composition by Alger Alexander, successively : "Give Me A Personal Paper", "Key To The Highway", "Call Me Muddy Waters", "Same Thing", "My Baby", "Honey Bee", "Walking Blues" and "Rolling and Stumbling" blues.

02. Soon Forgotten   8:49
03. Key To The Highway   3:15

08. Walkin’ Blues   4:48
09. Rollin’ And Tumblin’   4:03
10. outro jam   1:06
11. Radio France DJ   1:07

We are currently listening to excerpts from a concert given on Sunday, November 7, 1976 in the large auditorium of Radio France as part of the Newport festival from France. Muddy is accompanied by Pinetop Perkins on piano, Jerry Portnoy on harmonica, Luther Johnson on guitar (he also sings the second part of this presentation that began with an instrumental piece : "Hold It", which is by Bill Doggett and it will be Luther Johnson's turn to play and then sing.) We'll listen... "Gotta Have Soul", "Nothing But The Blues"... Pinetop Perkins, the specialist in boogie woogie, will also sing. We will listen to "Five Long Years", "I Live The Life I love", then it will be the return of Muddy Waters with others of his classics which you will recognize - it's the famous "St. Louis Blues" during a medley.

Set two

12. You Gotta Have Soul *   5:06
13. How Blue Can You Get *   11:51
14. Muddy intro > Five Long Years   8:11

20. Got My Mojo Working (reprise)   2:47
21. outro jam > Radio France DJ   1:57

T.R.T.  1:40:15

A triumphant concert that could have lasted for hours, but it was already past midnight. It was Sunday, November 7, 1976 in our Radio House France, in the large auditorium. We received Muddy Waters - I remind you that he was accompanied by Pinetop Perkins on piano and Jerry Portnoy on Harmonica, Luther Johnson Jr. and Bob Margolin on guitars, Willie Smith was on drums and Calvin Jones : bass.

Comments: I recently received an email asking for help in identifying a JT show. I don't want to steal anyone's thunder, so I will just say the recording in question turned out to be a significant upgrade over the currently circulating FM sources. It got me thinking about a couple of things. First, most FM broadcasts have already been shared, so "new" recordings are a rare treat. Second, did I have any FM broadcasts in my collection that have not yet been shared, or qualify as undercirculated? This show answers that question. I don't think I've ever seen 6-17-86, and it has not been widely circulated. 1986 was a terrific performing year for JT and I think this show will only enhance that sentiment.

Editing comments: Smoothed transitions between nearly all tracks after track 7. Most likely taper had a 90-minute cassette and began conserving tape after the first 1/3 of the show to avoid missing any music.

Two hours of modern folks at the Palms.  The recording is from the SBD, but either there was an audience feed or, more likely, the musicians were mic'd on stage.  The room is therefore present and individuals in the crowd can be picked out from time to time.  The ones who clapped the loudest have been removed.  A little EQ brings out the high end which was low in the mix.

The acoustic portions are quieter than the electric, and although the levels have been adjusted a bit, you'll still want to use the volume knob between sets.  An abrupt level adjustment from the soundboard occurs at the beginning of Where You Going. 

Enjoy!

Rodney 'Skeet' Curtis - Bass
Corey Parker, Martha High, Charles Sherrell (likely) - Vocals

This came on two DATs marked "I" and "pt 2" respectively.  The split was after Jamal Thomas's percussion work.  It's not clear if this was a single 2 hour 40 minute set or if the only break was at about the two hour mark.  Either way, this is a lot of funk to pack into one performance. 

Songs tend to wander into each other and you're welcome to disagree with it or the song titles.

The levels on the second DAT were peaked at +0dB more than 100 times, although the signal did not distort.  They were considerably higher than the first tape, although they come down eventually.  A little EQ keeps Rodney Curtis in check.  Some of the quieter parts are noticeably quieter, especially the 2% jazz.  Even with some tinkering around, about 25 minutes towards the end is very loud.  Which is how it should be....

Enjoy!

Joni Mitchell
Unknown Venue, supposedly (West) Germany (?) 1968 (?)

I noticed that this amazingly high-quality recording of an absolutely stunning solo performance had dropped off the tracker, so I decided to put it back -- this is DEFINITELY one that everyone should have.  Its origins are completely mysterious, though -- it circulates as "Germany 1968", but Joni didn't play in Germany in 1968.  During the intro to "Dr. Junk" she talks about her visit to Fort Bragg, Fayetteville, and since she first played Fayetteville on January 3rd, 1967 and again in May of that year, her remark that the visit was "about 2 years ago" suggests that this performance took place in 1969.  I think the presence of "Dr Junk" in the setlist would argue against the show being far into that year, since it's a throwaway song that didn't stay in her repertoire for very long.  The best guess, then, would be very early 1969, but where is more of problem -- although perhaps it COULD be Germany (did she play there in 1969? the jonimitchell.com chronology has no record of any European dates between London Sep 1968 & London Jan 1970 -- which can't be right, surely?) -- her phrase "my country's capitol" in the "Roses Blue" preamble seems to refer to Washington DC rather than Ottawa, which places the performance outside of North America (and that song itself, though not an easy one to decipher, was probably written after the darker events of 1968 -- the King & RFK assassinations, Chicago and the election of Nixon).

I was going to seed the show exactly as received via the JMDL hub -- the same version upped here previously -- but when I took a close look at the wav files I found SBEs -- tiny ones, but they were there (as the lineage claims alignment was done, I imagine they're historical).  I went through and got rid of these manually, then decided to up the levels and shift the tracking just a little whilst I was in there.  I also fixed a nasty little glitch right at the beginning and faked a less abrupt fade at the very end.  There was no temptation to use any nr or eq as the sound quality is great.  It's an exercise in gilding the lily, but this particular lily was worth it.

Hendrix's Apt in New York
Circa 1968

Originally released as an acetate, this is reportedly recorded at Jimi's New York apartment sometime in late 1968.

This is a great rare find.  You can hear Hendrix flipping the music pages as he practices.  Unfortunately not much is known of this recording.  This is a rare recording of great quality.

This is the first half of the evening at the Rock 'n' Bowl.  The second set, featuring Snooks Eaglin and Eddie Bo together, hasn't surfaced.  But the two play a few songs together here.  The whole show is terrific, and the mystery saxophone player is fantastic.

Bo's piano is very high in the mix, and it sounds like one of the house speakers may have been blown because the bass is sometimes distorted even though the levels on the tape were just fine.  Don't let that give you any pause.

Joebeacon Notes : All I Did Was Removed Some Clapping, Fixed Levels, Flac's And Tagged Files.

Fixed phase cancellation and speed corrected (Nov. 2022) myledwhofloyd Notes: Audio had phase cancellation as the left and right channels were out of phase with each other, except for some random sections which I had to pinpoint. I found about 20 such sections ranging in length from like 1 s to 2 mins. I fixed the phase cancellation by inverting the left channel for everything, and then inverting the right channel for the selected necessary sections. Audio that has phase cancellation sounds very thin because the bass frequencies essentially destructively interfere with each other, so it is important to fix for the audio to sound right.

Then after I did that, I decided that I should also speed correct it (w/ MATLAB) because it was consistently 1.2% fast.

Mick Fleetwood Blues Band
Date: 26 September 2008
Location: Kahului, Maui, Hawaii
Venue: Castle Theater at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center

Show billed as: A Benefit for the Maui Arts & Cultural Center

Lineage: Audio Reality binaural mics > Sony MZ-RH1 (HiSP 256kbps) > Sonic Stage to PC/WAV > RX9/Ozone9 > TLH > flac (align on sector boundaries)

A Benefit for the Maui Arts & Cultural Center

This is the first concert to begin a European Tour and support for the Grammy Nominated album "Blue Again". They paid special homage to Peter Green

It's also one of the first 2 or 3 concerts I ever recorded when I only had a mini disc recorder. This was originally seeded on DIME back in 2008 and has been reseeded at various fan sites over the years.

The audince had lots of whoops, whistles and screams which have been eliminated or attenuated as much as possible. In addition, the end of the show had extended periods of crowd noise and an intro to the song "Albatross". Due to length, these are now tracked separately as opposed to the 2008 release.

As usual, take it if you need it, if not just pass it on.

Aloha from Maui!

Fixes:
--Retracked each disc so that each song starts at the beginning of the track.
--Normalized each disc to 98%.
--A paragraphic EQ filter set to cut tape hiss above 8kHz by 15 dB was applied
  using Soundforge 4.5.

CHICAGO, IL
KINGSTON MINES

LINEAGE SBD> R-09 24/48>SDHC>HD>CDWAVE (CONVRT TO 16/44.1 - SPLITS)>TLH>FLAC6

SINCE LARRY IS A FRIEND AND TAPER FRIENDLY, I GET EXCITED WHEN HE COMES TO CHICAGO. THE SOUND MAN AT KINGSTON MINES HAS BEEN WORKING WITH ME TO IMPROVE THE SOUND QUALITY OF THESE RECORDINGS. THIS NIGHT I ADDED MY AKG 414'S TO THE MIX. BOTH USED TO IMPROVE THE DRUM SOUND ONE BY THE DRUMS AND ANOTHER WAS A HIGH HAT. LARRY STARTED OUT SLOW..KIND OF A SAFE FIRST SET. THE 2ND SET REALLY ROCKED. THE 3RD SET, HE REALLY JAMMED. ABOUT HALF WAY THRU HE FINALLY PLAYED "SOULSHINE" THAT EVERYONE WAS WAITING FOR. RIGHT AFTER THAT, HE INVITED LONG TIME FRIEND EDDIE BUTLER TO THE STAGE. EDDIE IS A GREAT GUITAR PLAYER FROM CHICAGO WHOS BEEN OFF THE SCENE FOR ALMOST 13 YEARS. ON THE LAST SONG HE INVITED UP A FRIEND PAUL DOPPELT (GUITAR). PAUL IS A VERY GOOD GUITAR PLAYER HERE IN CHICAGO. HE IS A BLUES PROMOTER, GUITAR PLAYER AND CURRENTLY HOSTS A MONDAY NIGHT JAM AT BILL'S BLUES BAR IN EVANSTON, IL. THE GUESTS ENDED UP PLUGGING THEIR GUITARS INTO AN AMP THAT WASNT MIC'D. YOU CAN HEAR THE GUITARS BUT THEY ARE QUIETER. NEXT TIME I MAY TURN UP LARRY'S GUITAR A LITTLE MORE IN THE MIX TOO. THE 3RD SETS AT KINGSTON MINES DON'T START TIL 2:30 AM, MOST MUSICIANS IN TOWN ENDED THEIR SETS MUCH EARLIER AND STOP BY FOR THE LATE SET ON SATURDAY NIGHT. TONIGHT WAS NO DIFFERENT. MAGIC SLIM SHOWED UP TO WATCH LARRY. HE DIDNT PLAY BUT LARRY SMILED AND ACKNOWLEDGED HIM AS HE WAKED IN. I WELCOME YOUR FEEDBACK AND COMMENTS ON THE RECORDING..   ENJOY...!

notes:
This is the second night of a six show stint at Earl's Court.  This comes from the master
tapes and sounds great to my ears... nice, clear, and crispy.  There have been some small
fades applied in a couple places that must have happened somewhere down the lineage, not by
myself.  I tend to think this happened somewhere in the DAT gens but this is only a guess.  I
I have done nothing to this source at all but tracked it in cd wav, it came to me on audio
cdr's with each set untracked, so this was necessary.

Also keep your ears peeled in 2000 for Jimmie's lead on Willie's version of "Kansas City" on Nelson's upcoming blues album, as well as so much more from Jimmie Vaughan in the 21st Century."

09 Jump in the river
10 I want your (hands on me)
11 Troy
12 I am stretched on your grave


Complete, unedited pre-FM recording of Sinead's performance at the massive Pinkpop festival in the Netherlands. Allegedly leaked from the radio station, my copy is a second generation copy of the master. I traded it shortly after the performance and was asked not to spread it further. Twenty-five years onwards, I think it's time to liberate it...

The show was only partially broadcast on Dutch radio (unsure which songs) and tv (Troy only, you can find it on YouTube). I believe this is the first time it'll be in circulation in its entirety.

Acts on the bill that day, in order of appearance: Rainbirds, The Godfathers, Aswad, Herman Brood & His Wild Romance, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Pogues, The Christians, Sinéad O’Connor, Joe Cocker.


Lineage: Pre-FM (2nd gen) > Audacity (wav, track splitting) > xACT (flac) > you


I'm digitizing my tape collection, mostly recorded from Dutch radio in the 80s and early 90s. The original tapes will be binned and after seeding I will not keep the original flac sets, so unfortunately I will not be able to reseed them in the future.

Enjoy,

John Zorn’s NEW MASADA QUARTET
Roulette Intermedium
509 Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217
Sunday, November 27, 2022 8:00 pm
ONLY PERFORMANCE UNTIL SPRING 2023

A surprise and rare appearance of John Zorn’s newest and most exciting ensemble, the New Masada Quartet. Performing classic compositions from the Masada songbooks, NMQ is a tight unit of like-minded virtuosi and one of the best groups Zorn has ever had. Bristling hot guitar master Julian Lage, bass wizard Jorge Roeder and 30-year Zorn veteran Kenny Wollesen perform with a crackling live energy that brings the Masada music to life like never before! Led by Zorn’s versatile sax and stop and start conducting, the music is filled with burning solos, telepathic group interaction, heartfelt lyricism and hypnotic grooves.

John Zorn: sax
Julian Lage: guitar
Jorge Roeder: bass
Kenny Wollesen: drums
Hilary Hahn - violin (last piece)

I have a few Lonnie Mack shows to share. Here's the first - the oldest LM show in my collection. I had to slow this one way down, hopefully I got the speed about right. This is a pretty nice soundboard - probably a warm-up gig for Lonnie before heading out the Great Guitar Assault tour with Roy Buchanan and Dickie Betts. Please help with the set list - sample included.

Queen
Houston, TX, USA
The Summit
December 11, 1977


This is very likely the definitive version of the now classic Houston show.  Hands down, this is the best unreleased Queen concert recording (second perhaps only to the fabulous Boston '76 recording taped by Dan Lampinski).  Improvements have been made (by DJGreg at Queenzone.com) that leave the old version in the dust:

-added reverb
-added a bit of compression
-slight hiss reduction
-EQ

The result is a recording that sounds about as good as an official release.  And on this version there's an extra bit of banter before White Man that wasn't on most previous copies.

Brian May breaks a string a minute into Liar, and as soon as he gets his spare guitar the band proceed to slay.  There's a great early version of Love Of My Life with no audience participation, and just Mercury at his best.  My Melancholy Blues is without a doubt the definitive live version.  Essential listening, even if you're not a big Queen fan.  This show has everything that made Queen one of the top rock bands before the 80s took them into synth pop.

Weird night! An old girlfriend from NY called me and asked if i get some Etta James artifact for her daughter who was a fan. i figured id drive over and tape the show! As i was getting off the freeway a non native driver decided it would be a good idea
to stop his car dead on the offramp and try to get back on the freeway. Crash! After I made my way over to the fillmore with my gear and quickly found out that the show was 'sold out'! Scalper wanted $150 - which i wouldnt pay, and no one came along with an extra for sale! I hung around for an hour or so, and finally the guard at the door asked me why i didnt go in?
I told him i didnt have a ticket and he motioned me up the stairs, stamped me, and comped me in ! just in time as Etta came on the stage! After the show, on the way out i got a poster! Etta later signed it for the girlfriends daughter! so alls well that ends well! Crowd was a little noisy - but not too bad. Enjoy!

- A good listen; this was a fun edit. The source sounds very nice. The lineage is a little hazy, we do know this was done on a Sony recorder and a pair of Nak mics, but we aren't sure which models. Enjoy the show, we have! 

- A HUGE thanks to whomever taped this, and to Keo for supplying his copies to  get this one into circulation.

  Tape flip between song 12 and 13 causing this
  2 songs to be cut. I cut out some crowd noise
  at the end of song 11 so this would fit on
  one CD. No music was lost. Song 1 is cut.
  I didn't know the set list for this show.
  This recording came out nice.

Randy_Newman_Academy_of_Music_Philadelphia_09_23_1977

This concert was sent to radio stations on reel-to-reel from Warner Bros. Records. Fans of Randy Newman probably know more about this recording than I do - but it has always been a favorite of mine. There is a lot of interplay with the audience, especially late in the show when Randy Newman talks about writing the score for "Ragtime."

For years I played a cassette copy of this that I had taped when it first aired in my market in 1978. Years later I ran across a large reel at an estate sale. The cover of the AMPEX box is as it appears as the front jpeg that is included. There was a track sheet with notes to the late night announcer as to which commercials to include between the two halves of the show. These sheets are reproduced on the back jpeg.

I have looked for this as a CD on the web for awhile. Finding nothing I have chosen to post it here. There may be some frequency imperfections due to the transfer. Hopefully it is good enough for you to play endlessly on your car stereo.

This is a DAT (1) made for me by ev off the master not long after the show happened, likely Summer 1996.  I have memory of him getting ahold of the master either directly or indirectly, as everyone was really excited about this show as communicated and reviewed by Wakeme who attended.  ev transferred his DAT (1) back on 3/1/2005 and uploaded it to the LMA in 44.1khz resampled format as the only source of this show to ever circulate.  His transfer has over 10,000 downloads and 15,000 views as of this posting.  This fileset is the first time the original 48khz files have been shared in FLAC, tagged, and level adjusted format

About the track splits:
As you will see vs the original transfer from 2005, e and I vary a little on the track splits.  You will see I took from BYD, added to CIA and Timmy.  He would get a chuckle out of me telling him he was wrong and have something snarky and witty to say.

The Santa Fe Opera is more of a shed than a house, and perhaps because this was recorded so close to the stage, the audio was nearly mono.  Discussing it with Royboy, we decided to stereoize it a little bit, which gives it more life and sparkle.  Some EQ also brings up the high end. 

Enjoy!

PREVIOUS NOTES by PREVIOUS SEEDER, Mike Wren:

* Thanks to Lee Farber for the original seed!

* There was some re-mastering done to clean up the original
tape hiss from this classic show. The processes I took are
as follows:

1) Amplified both discs 175% across the board.
2) Sampled a section of silence to obtain a decent noise floor
sample (25,000 sample points used).
3) Applied this sample against both discs at 64 percent.
4) Applied a graphic equalizer to boost the high and low spectrums
(specifically between 600 - 800 Hz and 8k & 10 kHz).
***Note: I cut everything above 11 kHz 18dB because nothing
existed above that freq. range on the original recording.

NEW NOTES by Hunter Seamons:

I noticed the pitch was too high in both shows listed in this source. I decreased the pitch in 12.01.84 by 7%, and I decreased the pitch in 10.17.85 by 9%. After doing this and critically comparing the older source, this sounds much more normal, if not perfect, and I am pleased with the results. I hope you are too. Happy New Year!

Recording notes: The recording's a little bit right heavy, since setting up in the center would have meant blocking the center aisle.  Although my stand was right on the aisle, in that small a place a foot or two matters.  The only other choice was to go a few rows back and a couple of steps up.  Given the choice between balance and clarity, I chose clarity.

Concert notes: Terrific show, enthusiastic audience.  We yelled ourselves hoarse trying to get him to come out for an encore - no soap.

Requires an 80 minute CD

KUVO’s archive show On Stage, revisits its tribute to Denver-based
pianist Joe Bonner, produced in 2018 for the 70th anniversary of his
birth. (He was born April 20, 1948.)

Force of nature has become almost a clichéd reference to an intense,
artistic personality, but there are few better analogies to pianist Joe
Bonner. He brought a solid groove to any standard he approached, before
unleashing a torrent of notes that never put one-off, but only drew the
listener in. His original compositions were at times lavish, at times
pristine. But he never ever bored his audience.

Because he lived in Denver, and because KUVO offered him the space and
airtime to share his gift, we have several recordings of his live
broadcast performances. In 1999, his quartet included Jesse Lee Montijo
on alto saxophone, Dirk Dickson on bass, and Charles Ayash on drums.
Tongue-in-cheek, he brought The Bonner Party to KUVO in October 2004
(Ayash at the kit, Mark Diamond on bass, and Prasanna Bishop on alto and
baritone saxes). In a session that aired in January 2014, Bonner played
mostly originals with a group he called Joe Bonner & Current Events
(Vince Wiggins on flute, Chris Strain on tenor sax, Dave Weinand on
bass, and Joe DiAmo on drums). We’ve even got a solo piano session with
Bonner from 2004.

Joe Bonner departed the physical plane in 2014, but his music lives on
through these KUVO archives.

We hope you’ll tune in and celebrate these sessions on Saturday,
November 13, at 10 pm, and Monday, November 15, at 7 pm. On Stage, is a
KUVO exclusive produced and hosted by Susan Gatschet.

C.S.N.Y. - Back At The Gund
2/25/02- Cleveland,Ohio,Gund Arena
# CSP11/12/13


From what I was told at the time this will was the first source to come out in it's complete form.The source itself was taped from the 4th row center section(dead center) and comes directly from my master DAT tapes. I was using my D7 recorder which had loading issues but fortunately it worked OK for the show. Consequently,I retired the unit after taping a Neil Young show in '04 due to the common issues they had.
Like my first release,you get a live feel to this one.The sound is upfront along with the crowd but fortunately it's not too disturbing to the music.No mastering went into this, just simple fades for CD splits.It's pretty much good as is so I just left it alone.So I'll let you guys be the judge on this.
Since the show,the recording sat untouched nearly a year.I never gave it much thought and had only burned it for my friend who went with me.I didn't plan to trade it since I figured that there would be other sources nor did I have alot of time for trading at that point.However,after meeting another taper that went to this show.He did inspire me to put this out.So as a result,I put some quick artwork together just to put a label on it and it was all set.It was traded briefly I think until now which is the first time I have shared it on the torrents.
Although I did not catch the first visit,I believe this was the second time for these guys to be at the Gund Arena.Hence the name,"Back At The Gund".Anyway,I hope you enjoy the show.I sure did but I still don't know if it was worth $226 for one damn ticket.

(10)  Willie and the Hand Jive (start cut) (4:15)

Checksum file is included.  Sorry, no artwork.

My comments:

High-energy, entertaining show from (I assume) a festival in upstate New York.  Even though it's a pretty short set, it's a very entertaining listen; Danko and Helm sound great on this recording.  The cover of Springsteen's "Atlantic City" make this one a keeper, although it's enjoyable all the way through.

The recording is a low-generation soundboard and the fidelity is very good.  I didn't have to do anything with this recording to improve upon the sound.  If you are even a casual fan of Danko/The Band, this one is well worth the minimal bandwidth.

- partial dropout in "Big Chief" repaired, which gives rise to a small amount of hiss
- tape flip near start of "My Blood" crossfaded

Comments:

The show seems a little short, it is possibly incomplete.  Noticeably, there is no encore present.

"Mountain Aire Music Festival"

OldNeumanntapr Notes-
This was a trade DAT that I had in my collection from many moons ago, from who I remember not at all. I almost went to this show except for three things:
1. I was poor and had already recorded some Dead shows that year and had plans for some other ones in the Bay Area.
2. It was REALLY HOT that weekend and I don’t do well in the heat.
3. Since the show was a festival, taping was not allowed and I had not yet begun to record stealth.
My folks bought a cabin about 15 miles east of Angels Camp almost 10 years after this show took place. If they had owned it at the time I would have definitely made more of an attempt to be there.
Thanks to Flying M for his expertise making this as good as it could possibly be, and for helping me with timings for the track splits.

Flying M Notes-
I took out a lot of small noises, ticks, pops, clunks and clapping even though it is a soundboard.
Fixed a couple bad dropouts where there was digital chatter and a couple more with just short gaps.
Now you would never know that the recording had been damaged there.
 
Follows how you tracked this show but this time I just separated all of the songs instead of just most.
Tracked out a "Soul Sacrifice (reprise)" that wasn't noted before.
Hope my efforts are worthy of this gem and thanks for letting me mess with it.

Do NOT Convert To MP3.
Enjoy! Share freely, don’t sell, play nice, don’t run with scissors, etc. ;)

*This recording is by no means perfect, though the sound quality is really good,
*but I haven't heard anything else so until I can uncover something better,
*this is all I have.

Notes:
-t04 3:27-3:34 level fluctuations
-t05 1:53-1:54 level fluctuations
-t06 diginoise at very beginning
-t07 some minor skipping
-t08 recording problems at end during banter (not narration)
-t09 recording cuts at 8:21 - on all copies that I have seen

-During very quiet sections, it seems that background music can be heard --
 either there was music in the background at the show or the taper did
 not use a new tape, so there was bleeding from a previous recording.
 Who knows, maybe there is a lost recording underneath this show. :-)

Fixes:
-Applied SF4.5 Pitch Shift at a setting of -80 cents to all tracks to
 compensate for the sped up recording.
-Retracked entire show so the beginning of the music starts at the beginning
 of each track.

Plug Your Ears lists these shows' sources as:

audio: audience recording; 25 minutes, very good quality (1-3)
audio: audience recording; 90 minutes, very good quality (1-15)

The Arhus show is probably the best sounding audience tape for any Hendrix show.  The next day's show in Copenhagen is one of 4 known sources to circulate.  PYE lists 5 sources, but most people "in the know" that Ive talked with only know of 4 sources.  This is the "old source" as it is known in trader's circles.  There is a second complete source also circulating, the quality is not as good as this one.  Two incomplete sources exist, but only one of those circulates.  The one that doesnt circulate has superior quality to the "old source", but is under a no trade restriction with those that have it.  Maybe one day it will work its way out to the rest of us. 

The Arhus show has been speed corrected.  Tracks 1-10 of the Copenhagen show have been speed corrected as "best as possible".  There are fluctuations in speed which have been mostly corrected, but some are too jarring to deal with.

The Arhus was transferred from a DAT clone of the master tape, as was Copenhagen.

This recording is a restoration of this concert from an audience recording along with elements of the radio broadcast mix of the show. This master leans heavily on the audience recording. The sound here is of an audience recording at all times including in the VIP section. Many parts of course are only the audience recording. The restoration and presentation of elements of the broadcast mix is only possible now that this audience recording has surfaced. Special thanks to Gerard for capturing and preserving this most unique show and to Philippe for coordinating this and setting the bar with the initial release! Finally, none of this would be possible without the tireless and extraordinary effort of Neonknight for all his work in coordinating this project as well as archivist and transfer engineer for the best copies of the broadcast recordings.

*DSBD/Matrix is the source that was given to me. However, this show does not
appear on Phil Nazzaro's Phish SBDs List, and it just doesn't seem like a sbd
to my ears. Regardless of whether it is a sbd or aud recording, it sounds
excellent. Also, I do not know who did the original transfer/encoding - I
received these in a trade.

And next  is the Apology#1. The Apology #2 is on an official release, the Complete Hank Williams. Apology#1 is not. In the liner notes for the box set it clearly states an Apology was recorded for Baltimore and that is Apology #1. Apology#2 which was one the box set was tapped for Washington DC. Please enjoy these. Thanks to a overseas friend who sent these to me. I've lost his name and addy, so whomever who are thanks to you for these treasures.

Notes:

Digitally remastered using a custom built, Dual DAW, nicknamed Bertha, by jashley@deadacated.com on November 17, 2002.

The ALD source has an odd sounding mix. The stereo separation is extremely narrow and two dimensional. An attempt was made to make it sound a bit fuller.

The source was most likely TAO at one time and someone tried removing the gaps, leaving small blips between tracks.  All blips have been removed.

The original source was clipped throughout.  Clipping was corrected prior to processing.

Fades between discs have been removed and tracks can now be rejoined seemlessly for transfer to larger media.


(*) Acoustic.

NOTES:
** cut start
// tape flip
During the intro they say Jackson is playing with his band, "the Famous Flame". He has a guitar player with him named Tom Jones he claims to have met just before the show. This show was a dual bill, Bonnie Raitt was the opening act for both sets.

Jackson was telling great stories about his songs and American life in 1971. His Vietnam war protest stance was audible, but never specific. You can tell how he, not unlike many other artists of their time, struggled to voice their objections due to society being propagandized to accept the war stance of the time. While introducing "Rock Me On the Water" he says, "I'm gonna wait to see who emerges as the King of the Waterbed, let them have it for a nominal fee".

When he opened the second set, a guy in the audience engages Jackson, asking where "the young lady is". Then "offers" to sing along with Jackson, actually singing some lyrics. Jackson then says, that's Bonnie's song, the dude says, "It's Ray Charles, you oughta know that". Then Jackson swings into a song "Say What You Have to Say". After he sings, "When You Lose Your Money" he asks if the audience knows who Bobby Seale is. Very few applaud. So he says, "Bobby Seale is on trial for murder, but... what he is really on trial for is speaking up". He also tells stories of people moving to Mexico, saying, "A lot of people are leaving this country these days. Maybe they saw a bumper sticker saying 'Love it or leave it' and thought, there ya go..." But he never says the name "Nixon" nor the term "Vietnam war".

[This Takeoff in December 2021]
This would be considered a “liberated” recording from the vaults of WAER Syracuse NY. I have termed these "The Syracuse Tapes", this collection from the WAER radio archives. Discovered in 1980 by Eric Arnum (program Director at WAER), Dave Prescott and Pete Jacobs (a DJ at WAER) in a footlocker were dozens of reel to reel tapes some labeled "LIVE BROADCAST WAER" or "JABBERWOCKY WAER". It turned out to contain many, about 10-12, live concert recordings. Some shows from the Jabberwocky, the then student run, and managed nightclub ON THE CAMPUS below a Dorm. Several were from Crouse College Auditorium, mostly jazz.

They found out the reels were all not recorded using the same decks or technology. Some of them were 4 track, mono signal reels which were ultimately played back on 2 track Revox A77. So there were mismatches in takeoff technology back at the time of discovery resulting in some odd DC offset type distortion as well as whatever distortion was on the original recording. A crew of us lovingly put these on cassette and distributed them to our tape collecting circles. Most of them have made it out into the ether and are available as pressed vinyl or CD bootlegs.

Although this has been bootlegged all over the world, it is now headed to you from a fresh transfer, the closest to the masters anyone will ever have.

It’s a little of both. Pete Jacobs was a banjo player and DJ at WAER and I also knew Eric Arnum. They both let me in and I copied as much out of that archive as I could. I believe it was indeed a footlocker. But I found the Bonnie Raitt tape and couldn’t believe my ears. Also Soft Machine ’74 at Crouse, David Bromberg at the Jab and some other things. [Ed. note- The Bromberg event was at Drumlins Country Club]

disc 1

d1t01. Lady Be Good
 
-------------------------------------------------------

Notes:

- One of the few surviving fragments of the Birdland All-Stars
23 show tour of Europe in November 1956. This recording suffers from
Significant line hum and hiss, but is still a worthy recording featuring
a lively performance by Miles Davis. The line hum exists both of
two different sources obtained for this show.

- The Birdland All-Stars also featured the great Lester Young, who was
enjoying a brief comeback after a hospital stay in November 1955.
However, his health was still poor, reportedly due to liver disease and
malnutrition, which would contribute to his passing away less than three
years from the date of this show.

d1t02. Lester Leaps In

-------------------------------------------------------

Notes:

- d1t01. Right channel average -6 db compared to left channel until
right channel level adjustment upwards at about 2:15.500

- d1t01. Small pop at 1:07.340

- d1t01. Pop in right channel 2:10.595

- d1t01. Small pop right channel 3:08.240

- d1t01. Pop folowed by dropout 3:14.400 - 3:14.645

- d1t02. Small pop at 1:30.805

- According to Peter Losin, three other tracks from this date are known to
circulate: "Tune Up "Walkin'" and  "What's New?". In addition, the complete
show with 21 songs is known to survive in the SWR Baden-Baden archives but has
never been released.

- The core of the Birdland All-Stars for the November 1956 European tour
was made up of Miles Davis (tpt);, Lester Young (ts), and the Urtreger Trio:
René Urtreger (p), Pierre Michelot (b), and Christian Garros (d).

- On both tracks offered here the Birdland All-Stars are joined by the 
Modern Jazz Quartet (MJQ), with Milt Jackson (vb), John Lewis (p),
Percy Heath (b), and  Connie Kay (d).

- On the second track, "Lester Leaps In", the All-Stars and MJQ are joined
by the Kurt Edelhagen Orchestra, which is made up of the rest of the musicians
listed near the top not already mentioned in these notes.

- The TLH analysis shows this at a high probability of mpeg. Further review has shown that it is
more than likely due to it being a poor FM recording. I would love to see a better version of this
surface.

Johnny Almond - sax/vibes/vocals/percussion/flute
Tommy Eyre - keyboards/flute/percussion/guitar/vocals
Roger Sutton - bass/percussion/vocals
Dannie Richmond - drums/percussion/vocals - formerly with Charles Mingus


Jon Mark and Johnny Almond were with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers in 1969 and 1970.
The albums were "The Turning Point" and "Empty Rooms".
Mark-Almond then went out on their own and released a few records over the years that were quite good.
Hopefully this live FM broadcast will create some interest in a great rock-jazz band from the 1970's.
Heaven knows you would never get the opportunity to hear them anywhere else these days.

Originally "The City" was cut as a single track.
With repeated listening the 10 minute drum solo just wore me out.
The song is now divided into six parts.
So if you get bored you can skip ahead and still enjoy the remainder of the song.
The title for the encore could not be verified so "Freedom" is the title I went with.
This final track has some sound issues including a gap @ 6:56 that was spliced back together.

Thanks to KMET-FM for the great shows they broadcast and to Allen Tarzwell for his "off-air" masters.

In 2018 the file names and artwork were updated to reflect the date of the performance which was previously unknown.
iZotope RX6 advanced filled in a few dropouts and removed a light 60Hz hum
Otherwise this has not changed much from the original version in 2012

Well...Black tie affair as it was the evening was truly spectacular! However the symphony's union would only allow them to perform for
75 minutes so we didn't get "In Held Twas I" ( Which I came to hear...grumble, grumble).  I chose to use the Binaurals because I thought they would capture the orchestral sounds swirling around this wonderful old opera house, boy did I make the right call, along with the mono ald feed lightly mixed in the background this one turned out real nice. NOTE: there are a few spots of FM static early on.  Check out the samples.  I also recorded with the CA cards and the CA st9100 and may up another version of this later.   SHARE  & ENJOY!

Lineage:
SBD > ? > CDR(x) > EAC > FLAC > WAV > Magix ACL (speed correction only) > WAV > FLAC Level 8
Decided to follow up the '66 Johns Hopkins show with my favourite S&G concert.  This was downloaded in FLAC from a hub and again the lineage is a bit sketchy, but it was definitely extracted from the Yellow Dog bootleg "Welcome In Holland" (catalog # YD 059/60).  The recording clearly ran too slow -- though by no means as slow as the first copy of the concert I obtained, back in the '70's -- so I have speed-corrected it using Magix Audio Cleaning Lab 10 (the speed problems were inconsistent, so I worked on each track individually, making comparisons with many other shows, especially the Paris show from the same month; the original timings are indicated in brackets).  I have not applied any noise reduction, although listeners who don't like any hiss might want to do so.  Certainly a soundboard, though with some volume fluctuations here and there. 

Wonderful rendition of "Bridge" with piano-only accompaniment -- FAR better than the Ohio '69 version with it's crappy thumpety-thump drumming....

Gary Wright - Long Island, NY 1975
FM Broadcast - Live in Studio
Quality: A-

Lineage:
SHN files from Trader's Den (can't find the original poster to thank him) > dbPoweramp WAV Conversion> Cool Edit 2000> Speed correction> FLAC encode> Dime > YOU!

I don't have anything specific on the date.  I'm hoping you old-timers in NY might recognize the DJ and be able to piece this together some.  There's an interview in the middle of the performance.  This was recorded after the Dream Weaver album came out and before the followup.  It's a cool listen, and the quality for a 1975 recording is pretty effing great.

There's another 1977 KBFH Gary Wright show on the tracker @ Trader's Den.  I've corrected the sped on that one too and that'll come up here shortly.  I'm hoping that Wolfgang's Vault'll post the 1977 show sometime.

Setlist
Intro
Love is Alive
Blind Feeling
Dream Weaver
I Can't Find the Judge
Kyle
Interview
I Know A Place
Lady Madonna (no, not THAT one)
Are You Weeping
Tower of Love

So check this out, then pop in the studio recording you have of Dream Weaver and let this 1975 lushness wash over you!

Contrast Clause:

As far as we know, there is only one other source of this concert, which is not currently on Dime but can be found on http://echoeshub.com/ I think you'll find this one to be an upgrade.

Barry's Notes:
 
This recording is the product of a great deal of painstaking effort to remove the obnoxious noise made by a group of four to five screaming idiots, led by one extremely irritating screamer (think nails on a chalkboard) sitting in front of my microphones. Because of these idiots, this recording has essentially sat on the shelf since 1987 and has never been circulated. It was discussed in the Dime group under the topic of getting rid of screamers.
 
This recording owes its sound quality to the acoustics of the Providence Civic Center, my favorite of all hockey rinks, and to the superb 360-degree sound system used by Pink Floyd. Omnidirectional mikes were able to pick up all the sound from all parts of the system, which created a listening experience different from that produced by typical directional mikes. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
 
The methods and tools used to mitigate the screamers are described under Technical Notes below.
 
Lestat's Notes:

I can't adequately express my gratitude to Barry for handling the incredibly tedious process described below ahead of my work, which itself became the most difficult project I've undertaken to date and as such went way past the usual 1-2 months usually required to get that certain "BLG" sound.

Barry did a superb job too. There is no attack on music signal that even I can hear, except in a couple of spots so brief they really don't matter. The primary screamer in question was really bad, and is noticeably weird sounding now but that's just fine with me and even quite funny at times - sounds as if a helium overdose underway ;} What does matter: Pink Floyd themselves aren't overwhelmed as they were in the raw master.

My own work challenges stemmed from the type of microphone Barry had to start using around 1984 due to security increasingly wise to the possibilities of ARs rivaling industry "live" releases for sonic detail. Literally a "lapel"-style minimike, it was of excellent quality but would not capture sound in larger venues with a lot of reverb the same way a set of Nak cardioids would.

To make the usual long story short I had to start over on this one more times than I can count, and listeners already familiar with the "BLG" series should still not expect quite the same level of quality heard in captures involving Nak mikes even 10 years older. Nonetheless, enough of what we strive for is there to provide what we now find a most enjoyable listen and the sense of concert realism all too rare in other circulating ARs.

Technical Notes (Barry):

My first attempt at scream removal occurred years ago when I started creating digital transfers of my master tapes. I snipped out most of the worst ones, leaving behind noticeable artifacts, but there were some that I couldn't snip out without damaging the music. What I did was an improvement but the technology to do the job properly didn't exist and the recording went back onto the shelf.
 
This second attempt is more successful by far but it's not perfect by any means. You'll still hear some artifacts but they are much less obtrusive than before. It's as if I were able to pick up the worst screamers en masse and drop them all some distance away. I can't get rid of them altogether but the recording is now quite listenable.
 
The resurrection of this recording was inspired when I read an article about the auto-heal tool and healing brush effect in Adobe Audition. Anyone who has used the healing brush in Adobe PhotoShop knows what a miracle it can be when an important photograph is marred by small defects. I had dreamed of being able to apply visual effects to a waveform spectral display the same way I do to bitmap images for many years and it had finally arrived.
 
I started by using the spectral display in Adobe Audition to identify the visual representations of screams, which typically look like elongated, upside down U shapes at roughly 1-2 kHz, often with visible "echoes" (reverberations or harmonics) rising in frequency, or with "steam" rising from them. I found them to be most easily recognizable when zoomed way in, horizontally and vertically, using the default Blackmann-Harris windowing function at 4096 bands. A spectral display shows frequencies, not amplitude, so some shapes that look like loud screams actually aren't, and vice-versa.
 
The auto-heal tool that I had been expecting to use actually turned out to be useful only in a few instances where screams were very short and clearly distinguishable from the background. Most of the work was done with healing brush tool and the effects brush tool, each set to 10-15 pixels. Wherever the healing brush didn't work, I used a very narrow effects brush to apply one of several custom favorites all named "Eraser." I found that completely erasing a very narrow band gets rid of the worst part of a troublesome scream while leaving behind hardly any artifacts. In the worst cases, I had to apply the 96dB Eraser multiple times to remove particularly loud screams. These leave behind a little buzzing or hissing but the amplitude is much lower than the original scream.
 
There were a few screams that couldn't be removed without too much collateral damage. One occurs right after the lyrics "Now there's nothing more to say" at the end of Time. Others occur in On the Run. A few had to be snipped out. Many were snipped out seamlessly between songs.
 
Audition's drawing tools are worth every penny but, unfortunately, you have to pay quite a few pennies for them. (Audition is the successor to Cool Edit Pro, a product that used to be from a company named Syntrillium and has been available free for years.) The best price I've seen lately is $99.25 on eBay.
 
The tools open up a whole new world of possibilities for removing the obnoxious noises made by idiots who think that going to a rock concert is a license to scream and whistle and forget all about courtesy and civilized behavior.

Bob Marley and the Wailers - Babylon By Bus Alternatives

Hammersmith Odeon, London 1976 and Pavillon De Paris, Paris France June 25-27 1978

These tracks were recorded by Island Mobile Unit for the official release
Babylon By Bus.  These were not used for the official release and were giving to me from a
friend who was given them as payment for shotting his friends (worked at Tuff Gong for a period ) wedding pictures.

This group of live tracks has never circulated in its raw non remastered format though recently the private remasters were leaked. 

Enjoy these wonderful quality recordings as there is not much new Bob left out there.

There is an occasional clipping-type sound throughout this tape that seems to be associated with the biggest transients, i.e. hard drum hits & some bass slaps.  It's possible that the individual channels on the SBD were clipping & that's what we hear, but it could be a number of things.  It does not seem like digital noise though, & it doesn't kill the listen, especially for a show that doesn't seem to circulate until now!

Thanks to Mark for taping & for sending the DAT to transfer!

::: This taper also taped Deep Purple but lent the tape out way back when & it was never returned.
::: This taper also taped Silverhead who were presumably promoting their '72 self-titled 1st LP. Not sure I need to hear it.

First uploaded 2018-07-xx.

Line-up ::: "Bob" Robert Lawrence Welch Jr. - electric guitar, vocals // "Danny" Daniel David Kirwan - electric guitar, vocals // Christine Anne McVie (née Perfect) - keyboards, vocals // John Graham McVie - electric bass // "Mick" Michael John Kells Fleetwood - drums.

Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline.

DimeTravel 424 ::: Thanks to the original taper & trader, The Florida Kid! Thanks to hendrixfan1995 for the differential EQ program, applying the Zynaptiq UNVEIL, & for all the advice. As is so often the case, additional thanks are owed to DIMER gv0000 for supplying assorted information. ::: Corrections welcome ::: This is quite cool & goes out to dedicated DIMER glasnostrd19 - sorry it took so long but worth the wait for the upgrade from my cassette copy to the master! Possibly due to a diet of beer among other issues, and supposely within 2 weeks from this gig on this tour, Kirwan & Welch had a fight. Kirwin started banging his head & fists against a wall, smashed his Les Paul & wouldn't play go onstage. He was subsequently fired by Mick Fleetwood. There's some lovely Kirwin guitar here, including great slide work. A fine tribute to Danny that we all get to hear a fine rendition of "Sunny Side Of Heaven" live & I'm sure no one will complain about having another version of "Trinity" which always seems to have some variations. There's some of the wildest Bob Welch guitar we've ever heard in places - parts of "Black Magic Woman" & "Oh Well" are ferocious. There's a lotta good to be had here for those who can deal with the quality - and it's certainly better than it's ever been in the Mk2 EQ version. Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yrs truly, Knees

According to Joni's official site,  there were a few more songs played that are missing from this tape. 

But I also have songs that were not listed either.  so who knows what the full set list really is?

A quote from someone who attended, which might explain why some of the songs were not broadcast.

"The 'clinkers and clunkers in the middle' refers to two earlier takes that went wrong, where Joni stopped short, said 'Oh SHOOT!' then collapsed into laughter."

You can see the May 19, 1972 listing:

There are no fades applied to this recording; if you choose to burn to CD, the above splits are just a suggestion. 

Comments: A pretty unique show by Sheryl -- the first six songs of the show were with her usual touring band; the last hour-plus features support by the local orchestra. She should do this more often -- the orchestral arrangements really complemented her typical touring configuration. If you like Sheryl, you'll find this an enjoyable listen.

Not sure where the taper was located, but this is a really solid audience recording that captures the full dynamics of the band. There is some annoying audience interference early in the orchestral set, but fades into the background once the set gets going and the volume increases. It is obviously an audience recording, but a casual fan can still find this entertaining.

Check out the samples in the comments if in doubt.

Many thanks to TallTaper for taping and sharing.  I was just the helper who EQ'd and tracked it.

Originally shared on dime by luck1106 on March 12, 2008

Revision Notes:
The original audio had phase cancellation issues, producing a very thin sound because the low frequencies from each of
the stereo speakers were destructively interfering with each other. I corrected this by inverting the left channel. I
also shifted the time alignment of the channels by a few samples (varying amounts) to fine-tune the phase using the
automatic phase correction feature of Audacity.

The levels of the right channel were slightly greater than the left. The first half of the show was imbalanced by about
0.7 dB and the second half of the show was imbalanced by about 1.3 dB. I balanced the levels by attenuating the right.

The levels of both channels were running a bit hot with some minor clipping, so I then lowered the levels of everything
by 1.5 dB, and applied the clip fix feature at a threshold of 98%.

Note that 1 day after the original source from luck1106 was shared, hildie shared a different phase corrected version.
This is not that. hildie's version additionally "remixed in station control room. Presence band was added to remove the
some of NR? and to add ambience". Unlike hildie, I have not EQed the audio.

There is also a matrix of the ALD source and some audience recordings, which was done by thir13en, and was actually
shared on dime before the raw ALD source was posted by luck1106. The original matrix from thir13en did not fix the
phase cancellation in the ALD audio before the sources were mixed, so there's another version which sort of fixes it
by inverting one of the channels of thir13en's matrix. The issue is after you've mixed sources together, you can't
really go back and perfectly fix the phase issues. Inverting one of the channels sort of works in this case to fix
thir13en's matrix because the ALD source was weighted so much greater than the audience recordings when thir13en mixed
them together. Ideally though, the matrix would be remixed from the raw (phase corrected) sources.

Notes:

This recording comes from a hand-held tape recorder
connected to a cheap pair of tiny microphones.  Parts
of it sound surprisingly good, other parts sound right on
the edge of distortion, if not slightly over the edge. 
All in all though, it's a pretty listenable recording.

This show was part of a solo tour of North America that
Howe did in late 1993.  It resulted in the official live
album "Not Necessarily Acoustic", which was recorded in
Montreal and Philadelphia just days before this show. 
That album obviously has much better sound quality than
this audience recording, so if you like the music you
should pick up a copy.  But this audience recording is
worth hearing because it includes several songs that
didn't make the album, plus it has Howe's between-song
interaction with the audience which was sadly lacking from
the official album.  He tells stories and jokes and explains
the influences on some of the songs.  Before I went to this
show, I had no idea he was so personable.  Things kind of
went downhill at the end of the show though, because the
sound man screwed up the monitors during the encore, so Howe
couldn't hear himself and his singing got even more out
of tune than usual, and when he left the stage he didn't
seem very happy.  Other than that, it was a great show.

Just as a warning for those who have never heard a Howe
solo performance - as a vocalist, he's a heck of a guitarist.
Fortunately most of this show is instrumental.

The Bayou Theater is actually more of a nightclub, located
in kind of a scary neighborhood.  While I was walking to the
show, a homeless guy warned me not to go down a particular
street and give me directions on how to get safely to the
Bayou in exchange for a few bucks.  He was probably just
making stuff up, looking for a handout, but he did give me
the directions first, and then asked for money as I was
walking away, almost as an afterthought.

Comments:

The lead deck was owned by "John from New York" and the 2nd John Mutterperl.
Rich got his copy from his late friend, John Mutterperl.

There's not nearly enough of this wonderful recording, it's a real pity that Rich doesn't have the rest.

The Mark-Almond Band (John Mark/Jonny Almond) Mega-Rare Restored Vinyl "City Mourning Freedom" Live in Ohio 1970-xx-xx from FM *an incredible show* mp3 sample

Beg and Plea: If you have a more complete version of this show, please post it!

If there ever was a bootleg show that I could take to the grave with me, it would be this one. Musically, it's that important to me.

This music is perfect for listening to at 3am when you don't know where or what you are anymore. Complex, inward harmonies blend with haunting sax and striking vocals. And, don't forget the social conciousness thrown in for good measure!

The sides were reversed and blended for this torrent as it's out of sequence on the vinyl. The setlist listed on the vinyl goes like this:

The City
Mourning
Freedom

In fact there are a couple of mistakes here. "The City" was played at this show as an encore, "Mourning" is in fact "The Sausalito Bay Suite", and there is another track after "The City". The fact that "TSBS" is cut at the point where it is, is a wound deep enough that I can't heal it. You just have to take the fact that there's almost 12 minutes of this piece, and leave it like that. I can't tell you how much it would mean to me if you have this song in its entirety from this show.

After retracking and properly identifying these songs, I come up with this setlist:

Setlist:

Freedom 11:10
Mourning (The Sausalito Bay Suite) 11:41
The City 19:01
Love (Pickup) 7:18

Lineage: Phonygraf vinyl speed corrected on turntable ->Sound Forge 6.0 ->Click and Crackle removal ->Noise Reduction using SF's excellent NR suite ("dead space" noise removal"->cdr->Flac via Nero

enjoy!

Hi Pete!

Terrific to read from you in this thread !

Question regarding vinyl specifically. Is there (in your opinion or fact and if fact please link to some scientific proof) any *sonic* differential between traditional black vinyl made with carbon , or colored vinyl made without the carbon but dye? I realized the black may be better with carbon from a longevity perspective but I'm just asking from a sonic perspective.

You're valued input (and that of other members who want to chime in on this) is greatly appreciated.

Apologies in advance for a slight diversion of the topic thread. :thumb:

Hello Hal,
I have found that the traditional black vinyl sounds better than colored or transparent vinyl, mainly due to less surface noise.
I have identical 200 gram single-sided 45 RPM LP releases from Classic Records (now defunct), Willie Nelson - Stardust and Holly Cole Trio - Don't Smoke in Bed. One copy has the BLACK QUIEX SV-P and the other has the TRANSPARENT CLARITY SV-PII profile. While both sound magnificent, I prefer the black vinyl.

See attached photos... The single-sided format is pretty wild IMHO...

Cheers,
Pete

Tapers Section (September 17 - September 23, 2007):
Going back a few years, we are pleased to play a couple of jams from 9/21/68. This material is drawn from a very interesting tape, in that it features Phil, Jerry and Mickey, plus a couple of guest musicians, in a studio jam right in the midst of the period in which the Mickey and the Hartbeats shows were being performed without Bobby and Pigpen. From this studio session, we have a nice Clementine Jam and another very interesting Jam.

Solo - Early & Late Shows

I had noted previously (to myself on the disc sleeve) that there were "3 spots of minor analog distortion" in set one of this show, but upon listening again to find them, only one major analog artifact jumped out at me - @ 05:36 in t4 where there was about 2 sec of 'bleed thru' on the master.  since it was a very quiet portion of a quiet song, it was removed unnoticeably and without any interruption of music.  the other two spots (wherever they are) are minor and inherent in the master recording.

Alison Krauss & Union Station
Philly Radio Shows 1998-1999

I pulled this pair of FM broadcasts, recorded one year apart, from a boot I picked up at a convention many moons ago (no official title). The first is a snapshot of the band in between "So Long So Wrong" and Alison's "Forget About It" (recorded mostly with Union Station but released as a 'solo' album for contractual reasons). The second is from after the solo CD's release the following year. Dobro virtuoso Jerry Douglass is on board for both performances, and there are interview segments included in the tracks as well. Enjoy!

The true thanks go not to me, but to the taping community behind whose footsteps
I have followed, including those who have perfected the art of stealth recordings,
the makers of the stealthy mikes, cords, adapters, and preamps, and those who
have graciously shared their recording techniques. 

I am merely a mike stand with a credit card and driver's license. 

As always, I don't care what you do with these files, once you download
them--they are yours now, except these files are not for sale, free
trade only.  You can thank me by uploading something of a similar genre
or trading with me, so I can.

WCFL-AM radio broadcast from their 1973 tour. This "new" mono recording has more songs than the commonly circulated version, but it has several cuts and was running slow. Had to do some work on it: eliminate gaps between tracks, combined all tracks, duplicate channels, adjust speed, and re-tracked the show, think it's more enjoyable now.

==================
== Post 13 Info ==
==================

Most who know me well, know I'm not a big RH fan. It's not dislike in anyway, I really dig some songs, but a whole record...no. When I heard O's recent DSDB of this show, I really liked what I heard and wanted to hear more, plus I knew how awesome that Cure source was from a year before in the same venue.

The mix, as usual, was spot-on and the performance seemed inspired. I'm no big fan, as I said, but to me there was something special about this show. I can honestly say that hearing the show in it's entirety, twice now, is the most Radiohead I've ever listened to in the span of my life vs. their existence. And I really enjoy it.

But I found the DSBD to be rather harsh to listen to on its own, and sought out the AUD to see if it could make a difference, add something warm to it...and it did. Something warm indeed, plus the ambience of the venue and the crowd for the applause and quieter passages.

I think it's real sweet like this, the best of three sources to make one complete and full-fleshed representation of the show.

A clean transfer from a low-generation cassette, with virtually no hiss, this DAT was marked "Tramps 05/19/93" but the band was at Tramps on the 14th and 15th of that year (billed as "The Meters" and confirmed by NY Magazine, see attached), and perhaps the "4" in 14 became a "9" when the tape was copied.  There does not seem to have been any performance at Tramps on the 19th.  If the 14th is correct, then this performance is largely uncirculated.

Assuming that there were early and late shows on the 14th, like there were on the 15th, this would probably be the late show because the Tramps MC and Art Neville each mention that the band will return the following night and it sounds like the end of the evening.  But that isn't really proof. 

A small discontinuity and a tape flip during Love Slip Up On Ya have been cross-faded but are still noticeable if you're paying attention.  The crowd noise before the encore has been trimmed by several minutes.

Thanks to Andrei for collecting the recording, Ted Mattes for facilitating and RobbieM for help with song titles.

Enjoy!

10,000 Maniacs
“The Soundboard Archive”
(77 songs, none released officially)

Thanks to the original uploaders!

For some time now, I have been making “The Soundboard Archive” compilations. My live-music collection had become so massive that I thought it pointless to keep "multiple-to-the-nth-degree" versions of the same songs, especially for "non-jam" bands: thus the genesis of this project of mine.

This has been my methodology:

1. Choose a trade-allowing artist (= "not on LL's / TTD's NAB lists") & collate all of the tracks from my “SBD” flac/shn files for said artist. (DIME doesn't allow compilations like this.)

(As of this writing, I've made compilations for 10cc, 10,000 Maniacs, Alabama Shakes, Alison Krauss-Union Station, Blind Melon, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Eddie Money, The Fall, Gillian Welch-David Rawlings, Marvin Gaye, Rush.)

2. Listen to each track and choose what sounds to my ears to be the “best” version.

3. Rename each chosen track and add tags detailing date & venue.

4. Compile “the winners” into a “The Soundboard Archive” collection – after ensuring (to the best of my ability) that NO included tracks have been officially released.

Enjoy! Support the artist and buy the officially-released items (to the best of my knowledge & as of this writing; asterisks denote BGE/Wolfgang’s Vault) -

This tape sounds better than the lineage suggests, with much less hiss than you might expect.  It was marked "Set II" but after Gimme A Rainbow Dave or Ed says "we got at least one more set to go."  https://etreedb.org/lookup_show.php?shows_key=20767 shows two songs played before Mustang Sally and a Domino encore, and otherwise matches the setlist above. 

There were bad tape flips in the middle of Straight Eight and another one during Hard to Handle.  The latter, and the one in Lucinda have, happily, been made to vanish.  Straight Eight still has a noticeable kink in it. 

Bruce Barnum was a Deadhead and an avid taper from the early 1980’s until his death in 2017 at age 48.  Over the years, he taped dozens of Dead shows throughout the Northeast, as well as other concerts, some of which have not been heard since then.  After his death, about 60 of his master cassettes turned up in a used record store in Hudson, NY, where some had been bought by random people nostalgic for the days of cassettes.  The rest were purchased by a fellow Deadhead and archivist.  Bruce’s daughter, Jessica, had more, and was kind enough to lend them to be digitized.  Many of these recordings sound excellent for their age.  They are Bruce's legacy.

Enjoy!

Ed Perlstein, who has archived collections by Nick Gravenites, Spencer Dryden, Steve Keyser (John Cipollina’s manager) and others, and who currently possesses John Cipollina’s personal tapes, was given the approval of John’s sister, Antonia, to share John’s live and studio outtake recordings in the interest of keeping his music alive for future generations.  Steve Keyser, who recorded most of John's live shows with several different bands while he was his manager, has allowed Ed to digitize his master cassettes, and to share them with John’s fans and collectors.

Jimi Hendrix
=========

University of Oklahoma. 8th May 1970 (2nd show)


This has to be one of the best audience recordings from Jim's 1970 American tour but sadly it probably will never see the light of day as a Dagger release although in my humble opinion it should be strong candidate. A cracker of a concert from start to finish, it has spell binding versions of Red House and Hear My Train A Comin'. The version of Machine Gun here is an absolute killer. The more familiar version on the Band Of Gypsys album was just a rehearsal for this.

Notes

There are a couple of dropouts at the start of the show. These could be fixed but this is the raw, unedited source straight from the master reel. Details of how this show was rediscovered in 1996 are included in the booklet. The booklet features the only known colour photos from the show.

Cover and booklet with history of the show included.


Tracks


1. Fire
2. Spanish Castle Magic
3. Machine Gun
4. Lover Man
5. Foxy Lady
6. Hear My Train A Comin'
7. Message To Love
8. Red House
9. Star Spangled Banner
10. Purple Haze

AMG Biography by Greg Prato:
While countless rockers started their careers in the New York suburb of Long Island before going on to worldwide success (Billy Joel, Twisted Sister, Steve Vai, Brian Setzer, Blue Oyster Cult, etc.), there have been countless acts that appeared poised for a breakthrough, but for whatever reason, fell short. Many longtime followers of Long Island-based rock would probably agree that tops on the 'woulda/coulda/shoulda' list were the Good Rats, a group who played at some of the East Coast's best-known/biggest venues (Madison Square Garden, Nassau Coliseum, the Philadelphia Spectrum) during the '70s, while opening for such big names as Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, the Grateful Dead, Bruce Springsteen, Kiss, Journey, Heart, Styx, Meat Loaf, and Rush, among others.

Specializing in a tough form of bar band/hard rock (comparable to Led Zeppelin early on, before getting more commercial), quite a few band members have waltzed through the Good Rats' ranks since their formation during the late '60s, but through it all, lead vocalist Peppi Marchello has been present. Originally consisting of Marchello, drummer Joe Franco (later briefly a member of Twisted Sister), bassist/vocalist Lenny Kotke, plus a pair of guitarists/singers, John "The Cat" Gatto and Mickey Marchello. Debuting in 1969 with The Good Rats, a frustrating trend would soon follow for the group -- their albums would be well-received by their large, local fan base and regional radio, but would fail to connect to other parts of the continent.

It was the group's sophomore effort, 1974's "Tasty," that would spawn one of The Good Rats best-known songs: the jazzy title track, which remains a staple on Long Island-based classic rock radio. It was also around this time that the Good Rats caught the attention of guitarist Tommy Bolin (through a mutual friend), who was earning raves at the time due to his flashy guitar work for the likes of Billy Cobham and Deep Purple. Bolin was so impressed with the group that he had the management of one of his favorite clubs, Denver's Ebbets Field, hire the group, which resulted in a jam session with Bolin and drummer Carmine Appice on a rousing cover of Cobham's "Stratus," which would appear years later on the Bolin compilation Bottom Shelf (Bolin sadly died from a heroin overdose two years later). Although some groups would have quickly given up because of all the turbulence the Good Rats experienced, Marchello and company admirably continued to soldier ahead -- continuing to issue strong yet overlooked albums (1978's Rats to Riches and Birth Comes to Us All, 1979's Rat City in Blue, and 1981's Great American Music, the latter of which featured future Kiss guitarist Bruce Kulick).

After laying low for a few years, Peppi put together a whole new version of the Good Rats in the early '90s, featuring his son, guitarist Gene Marchello, who was a member of the short-lived-'80s pop-metal outfit, Marchello. After their rebirth, the Good Rats began issuing all-new studio albums, including 1996's Tasty Seconds and 2002's Play Dum. The original lineup of the Good Rats has been known to sporadically reunite for gigs, such as a pair of shows in Rochester, New York, in October of 1998, which saw the 'new' Good Rats open for the original Good Rats.

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American-Soviet_Peace_Walks#1988_From_Washington_D.C._to_Santa_Monica_and_to_the_final_events_in_SAN_FRANCISCO_CA_USA_Walk

In June–July 1988, The American Soviet Peace Walk (ASPW) sponsored by the International Peace Walk, Inc. (IPW), organized and sponsored 230 Soviets citizens and 200 Americans from all walks of life. They started their travels from Washington, D.C. went on to Santa Monica, CA and continued on to San Francisco, to experience the America way of life. On July 16, 1988, the final concert was organized and produced by Summer of Love Productions Producers, Ron Frazier and Bill McCarthy, who had hosted the previous June concert event for the marchers in Los Angeles. On July 16, 1988, the American Soviet Peace Walk concert finale event happened at the Band Shell in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park with an estimated public attendance of 25,000 plus. The Producers give many thanks to all participants, the volunteers, and performing friends of the Summer of Love 20th Anniversary 1987 series that benefited the San Francisco Food Bank and ran through to the Concert of July 16, 1988. Congratulations are given to both the American and Soviet Performing Artists of the "American Soviet Peace Walk Concert". Participants and performances achieved the results as Change Makers that has advanced the cause for Peace and People-to-People Awareness. Artists' performances in concerts that achieve Global attention are needed as an ongoing effort to sustain awareness of and for Peace. Special Thanks go to; Susan Ramser, Producers Assistant who hosted the Soviet Artists on their arrival to San Francisco with the help of a Cadillac mini-fleet, Arthur Meyer, Artistic Director, and to Pete Sears of the original Jefferson Starship who assisted in the musical coordination and inviting cause-aware musician friends to participate. He organized the final musical portion of the show, as well as playing piano with each act. The Crowd was pleased by Mr. Jerry Garcia helped to promote the event, Pete Sears was responsible for Jerry's appearance. The Recreation and Parks Department prohibited advertising because they were concerned about fans camping and overcrowding, and so the concert happened without mainstream advertisement. But with the assisted word of mouth promotion, and one free newspaper paragraph event notice and the 1988 finale Poster presented 3 days out, all led to the success of the event. Guest Artists Performers: ALEXANDER GRADSKY, TIME MACHINE, COLLECTIVE VISION, THE TELEPHONE TRUST, YKRANIAN WOMEN'S CHOUS, THE SOVIET YOUTH PERFORMERS…Friends of Summer of Love and special invites; BABA OLATUNJI, JERRY GARCIA. MICKEY HART, GRACE SLICK, MERL SAUNDERS, MIMI FARINA, JOHN CIPPOLINA, PETE SEARS, ZERO, NORTON BUFFALO, MARK BENNO, EMMIT POWELL & THE GOSPELL ELITES, OGIE YOCHA, and surprise guest PAUL KANTNER.

** PERFORMED IN MY NECK OF THE WOODS **
** ATTENDED SHOW **

The Eagles Live at the Nassau Coliseum 2005-04-03 AUD

This particular set of minidisks was misplaced during house rennovations last year. This show was in front of a typical loudmouthed Coliseum audience... People who can afford to pay the outrageous prices and still behave like drunken fools... Especially with Joe Walsh at full volume, what did you expect? "Hey Man! It's f*****g fantastic!" Just how DO such low class people find all that money to pay for these shows anyway? Hmmm....

:)

This is a great show, by the way. All kidding aside, it really is. The recording is loud, but very clear (check out the samples below) There are some minor glitches with the microphone in places, but it really doesn't interfere with the sound. Security is to blame for that. They really don't understand us in here, do they????

*a thir13en blend*
SBD - Sean D
AUd - yltfan


(original notes from thir13en)
Oddities:

-The SBD connection had "issues" that made the right side unusable for the first 1/4 of the show (transition is around 01:57 of "Shot In The Arm"), so it's a mono mixed SBD that is assisted in gaining a more natural spread by the stereo AUD. After that, it's a nice fully dynamic mix from both sources.

-The SBD source probably died from length of the show (2+ hours) and cuts off 13 (hello!) minutes shy of the actual shows end. So the AUD takes that part on it's own, which is a much less offensive crime when it's such a nice source as YLTfan often provides. Basically, it's all good.

Introduction to the Lost and Found Mike the MICrophone Series

Welcome to JEMS’ Lost and Found Mike the MICrophone series presenting recordings made by legendary taper Mike Millard, AKA Mike The Mike, best known for his masters of Led Zeppelin done in and around Los Angeles circa 1975-77. For the complete details on how tapes in this series came to be lost and found again, as well as JEMS' long history with Mike Millard, please refer to the notes in Vol. One: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=500680.

Until 2020, the Lost and Found series presented fresh transfers of previously unavailable first-generation copies made by Mike himself for friends like Stan Gutoski of JEMS, Jim R, Bill C. and Barry G. These sources were upgrades to circulating copies and in most instances marked the only time verified first generation Millard sources had been directly digitized in the torrent era.

That all changed with the discovery of many of Mike Millard’s original master tapes.

Yes, you read that correctly, Mike Millard’s master cassettes, long rumored to be destroyed or lost, have been found. Not all of them but many, and with them a much more complete picture has emerged of what Millard recorded between his first show in late 1973 and his last in early 1993.

The reason the rediscovery of his master tapes is such a revelation is that we’ve been told for decades they were gone. Internet myths suggest Millard destroyed his master tapes before taking his own life, an imprudent detail likely concocted based on the assumption that because his master tapes never surfaced and Mike’s mental state was troubled he would do something rash WITH HIS LIFE’S WORK. There’s also a version of the story where Mike’s family dumps the tapes after he dies. Why would they do that?

The truth is Mike’s masters remained in his bedroom for many years after his death in 1994. We know at least a few of Millard’s friends and acquaintances contacted his mother Lia inquiring about the tapes at the time to no avail. But in the early 2000s, longtime Millard friend Rob S was the one she knew and trusted enough to preserve Mike’s work.

The full back story on how Mike’s master tapes were saved can be found in the notes for Vol. 18 Pink Floyd, which was the first release in our series transferred from Millard’s original master tapes:

Jefferson Airplane, Pacific Auditorium, Costa Mesa, CA, September 16, 1989

Technically we add yet another new artist name to the roll call of the Lost and Found series with this first appearance by Jefferson Airplane, reunited and sounding remarkably good. Mike Millard did record Jefferson Starship when they were riding high with their best-selling album Red Octopus in 1975 (released not coincidentally as Vol. 75 in the series), hence the technicality, but it still feeds good to be covering new ground in the thin air of Volume 168.

The Airplane had reunited and released a self-titled album in August which would prove to be their last. The tour saw Grace Slick, Paul Kantner, Martin Balin, Jack Casady and Jorma Kaukonen joined notably by drummer Kenny Aronoff (from Mellencamp's band) and keyboard player Tim Gorman (who toured with The Who in 1982), plus Zebra's Randy Jackson on and Jorma's brother Peter playing additional guitars.

While the new material was meh, the band sounded potent and polished, and the expanded line-up gave the arrangements some modern punch. Perhaps not your purists' Airplane, but one that could sell tickets in the late '80s. Just a few weeks later, Jefferson Airplane would play their final proper show ever, so this is one of their last recorded performances.

It all seems to work for the Costa Mesa crowd, who are well into it, meaning there's a fair amount of hooting and hollering, though not so close up as to be distracting for most of the show. Mike's in his usual optimal position at this familiar venue and his master tape sounds rich and full. Samples provided.


###

JEMS is proud to partner with Rob, Jim R, Ed F, Barry G and many others to release Millard's historic recordings and to help set the record straight about the man himself.

We can't thank Rob enough for reconnecting with Jim and putting his trust in our Millard reissue campaign. He kept Mike's precious tapes under wraps for two decades, but once Rob learned of our methods and stewardship, he agreed to contribute the Millard DATs and cassettes to the program. Our releases would not be nearly as compelling without Jim's memories, photos and other background contributions. As many of you have noted, the stories offer an entertaining complement to Mike's incredible audio documents.

It's always more challenging to find time to work on the series during the holidays, so extra special thanks to RobS for the transfer, Professor Goody for the pitch work and mjk5510 for his post-production services and artwork.

Finally, here's to the late, great Mike the MICrophone. His work never ceases to impress. May he rest in peace.

BK for JEMS

This was a very special unique show that lasted late into the night. I don't remember exactly, but there was a story going around that night that the Chili Brothers were supposed to do Saturday Night Live that night, but that fell through so they did the show with Rick. There was only a handful of people still there at the end of the night, and everyone was invited back to the green room to hang out with the band. That was one of the three times I met Rick and he was the same everytime - super friendly, happy guy that was glad to hang out with fans.

The audio quality is an excellent soundboard, and the track-list is nearly complete (just "Is there Something I Should Know?" and "Virginia Plains" are missing). The show was aired in a Japanese TV, so the video version is also available. All the greatest hits of their history are here, and the performance is very good. My favourite songs are "Friends Of Mine", "Careless Memories", "Secret Oktober" and "All She Wants Is". Simon sings all the hits with energy and passion. The songs are performed in their original "album" or "single" version and no different arrangements are here, included "Secret Oktober" which is performed in its slow version. During "Rio", Simon introduces a special guest: ANDY HAMILTON playing the sax solo! Even if you are not a collector, you should have this CD: this is the definitive Duran Duran "Greatest Hits" in an excellent LIVE version.

2. Excellent sound. Excellent show. Excellent energy!!

One of my favorite CD's here.  DURAN DURAN played this wonderful show at Wembley in December 1998. Wish I was there. There are a couple of guest appearances by Tessa Niles (female vocals on COME UNDONE) & Andy Hamilton (saxaphone on RIO, toured with DD from 81-87).  "FRIENDS OF MINE", "CARELESS MEMORIES" & "ALL SHE WANTS IS" kick serious butt here. If you don't have this show you must get it now!

  then the rest of the show.  After the
  first 25 - 30 minutes the show is
  recorded louder but then there is
  saturation of vocals and bass.

  I used a dehisser and BBE to improve
  the sound. There is slight hiss duirng

Lineage: 2 x Sennheiser 421 microphones on soundboard riser > Dat master (2 x Maxell DM 120, unknown model deck recorded at 48 kHz. sampling rate).

Transfer [2012-06]: Panasonic SV-3700 (S/PDIF coax/RCA output) > Macintosh with Digidesign Audiomedia III card > Pro Tools (minor "nip and tuck" edits, tracking and down-sampling - no equalization or DNR) > AIFF files > xACT (Flac level 8 files with sector boundaries verified).

Note: There is a bit of diginoise during the Bill Graham taped intro. Also the official Santana site lists Black Magic Woman / Gypsy Queen > Oye Como Va between Savor and Wings Of Grace but the recording is a seamless master and those songs are not there and were apparently not performed at this show. Another difference is that the official site lists Elmore's Boogie where Super Boogie is in the set.

although the show is incomplete, only the last minute or so

I may have mistracked the songs during the medley (tracks 4-6)

No SBE's
There is one dropout during Allan's crowd banter as he was introducing
"Fred" when I was checking the levels. This does not happen during
the music at all and is only for a second or two. There is also one
dropout for a split second during the intro to track 4 which I did
because of a loud pop that came from the house monitors. It could be
a little smoother but it is better than blowing out your speakers
or worse, your ears. It's not perfect but I think it is an excellent
recording of this amazing performance.

If you've ever wondered how Oakie From Muskogee would play in San Francisco, here's your chance to find out.  This appears to be the entire performance, which ran just an hour, although it's certainly possible that some of the show was edited out.   There was a small dropout at the beginning of Kern River that has been made to vanish.  Unfortunately, most of a verse is missing in Rainbow Stew with no good way to cross-fade it.   

This is certainly an AM broadcast because there's no audio information about 10 kHz, which is about the limit of what AM radio could do, and it's also mono.  From the DJ, Sully Roddy, we learn that this is a re-broadcast, on May 23, 1997, on Sully's show, All Kinds of Country (which is still on the air), of a performance on the 16th (confirmed by concert posters, etc.) that was originally broadcast on the 16th or perhaps the 18th.  At the concert, Frank Terry MC'd live from the stage, and at the end of the recording we hear Frank's outro followed by Sully ending the re-broadcast.  Then we hear the same audio of Frank, which goes on for a while waiting to learn that there won't be an encore, and then a different DJ ends what must have been the original broadcast.  Why both endings are on this recording is not known.

Thanks to Ted Mattes for sharing his DAT!

COMMENTS: I got this one in SHN already so the conversion from DAT>SHN is a mystery. I used
mkwact to encode the SHN's to WAV's to do the edits. D1t01 static 2:29 thru 2:33 , 3:01 thru
3:06 , @ 3:16, 3:43 thru 3:51 on both channels. I used a filter to remove some of the
static. Only where it I noted some is still present. D2t05 Cass. flip @ 12:01 the D/O
from it was removed. D2t01 and D3t01 were retracked for seemless use. Also these times for
editing were done before I used ADD A WAV so the times on the edits might not be the same as
the retracked/this version.
 
Edits/Seeded to etree by T. Wiley 12/4/2002.

WAV: Via mkwact
Cool Edit Pro: See Comments above.
ADD A WAV: To attach all the Wav's for retracking
CD WAV: To track the songs
SHNTOOL: To confirm sectory boundries
SHN: Via mkwact(seekable)

Thanks to Chris Larson for the original SHN's

ENJOY!!

2.  [Andy Speaks]
3.  World Gone Strange
4.  But She
5.  Easy on the Ice

12. Big Thing

Second Set (28:13) - incomplete
1.  Footprints (Wayne Shorter)
2.  [Andy Speaks]
3.  World Gone Strange
4.  ??????


Received in a trade years ago.  Rare, uncirculated and new to DIME.  Andy Summers had a long run of shows at the Baked Potato around this time.
I believe the first couple of weeks featured his regular drummer, Chad Wackerman. What makes this show interesting is that one of the world's best
drummers, Simon Phillips, replaces Wackerman. I don't know of another recording where Summers and Phillips play together.

While this recording is quite listenable, it's not great. It's a little unbalanced, especially on Set Two, and there is some hiss present, most notable
between songs. I believe it was recorded on cassette as I received two unsplit files totaling 46 minutes each and other random clips.  I have attempted
to clean up this show - mainly by splicing tracks back together, splitting tracks correctly, and reducing a lot of dead time between songs spent tuning up.
This show features a lot of improvisation and extended soloing from Andy (as well as bass and drum solos) and it has a very relaxed and fun vibe.
Small and quiet audience with minimal chatter.

*This came as 3 tracks so I retracked it with CD Wave.                                       
                                         
*T4 is often faint. Part of the reason, I gathered from seeing these guys in 83', is that Don Alias (RIP) straps on a conga & goes out into the crowd & is therefore "off mic". Also, due to the sbd mix on this, the crowd is barely audible as are some other quieter moments in the music. Simply... you may have to crank up some parts a bit.
                                       
* Basic info was lifted off of Len Pogost's Jaco Database. Thanks again, Len P.


Not sure if this post peak Jaco with the WOM Small Band has made the rounds here but it is a decent sbd & show so here it goes...

I'm not the hugest Jackson Browne fan, but I do appreciate his songwriting, and a four-night run at the Beacon seemed like an ideal place to see him for the first time. Unfortunately, a lot of his other fans seemed unprepared for things like "listening" and "not talking constantly" and "being aware that there are other humans in the world other than you," which made the show a bit of a challenge to enjoy - my +1 and I both relocated to different seats a couple of times during the show to try to escape yammerers and people loudly crunching ice in our ears.

Fortunately, not much of that made it onto this recording, which as a a result I find more enjoyable to listen to than the actual concert was. There are all (or at least most of) the hits here, plus more recent songs and deeper cuts, with Browne alternating on guitar and piano and accompanied by a skillful band. Plus lots of interesting banter from the man himself, something else that comes across better in the recording thanks to the directional mics.

Got this CD in trade.  When I played it, I knew it was a great show, but it sounded way too slow.  I increased the speed in Audacity by about 7.0% to 7.5% (that's a lot!) and WOW did this show come to life!  Naurin lists it as an Aud A/A-, but after speed correction I give it an A+!  You might mistake it for a SBD, if you didn't hear the occasional audience chatter.  It's got some of my favorite songs on it and Bianca adds a very tasty flavor to the group.  Enjoy!

We continue our journey with Paul Simon and a drop-dead gorgeous capture of the penultimate show of an 18 night stand at the Paramount Theater in NYC on Simon & Garfunkel's "Event Of A Lifetime" Tour.

This DAT Master Clone comes to us via my friend and fellow dime member "Hobbes4444" who recently shipped a care package of cassettes and DAT's with a special call out around this show. I do not have any of the other Paramount shows, I know there is a very nice recording of only S & G's portion from a sliver disc release of the 22nd that is "SB Quality" but commenters noted is an excellent audience.

I've read in various places circulating captures from this stand leave a little to be desired. Whether there are excellent recordings of complete shows in circulation or not put this one at the very top of the heap. The capture is close, clean with little to no audience, simply beautiful.

SB clearly had great seats and though memories fade, the vague memory from Hobbes4444 is that SB had borrowed a pair of Schoeps mics because his seats were so good.

I can't really speak to the quality of the performance, a friend that is a big
S & G said that he prefers these 1993 shows to the 2000 era shows based on the stories told and interaction with the audience. The performance sounds good to me though Arthur misses his cue on the first line of "The Boxer" coming in early, you'd think after 17 shows he'd be able to hit it.

As you can see from the setlist the show is Paul Simon heavy with about 55% falling to strictly to him and his band joined by both 'The Mighty Clouds Of Joy' and 'Ladysmith Black Mambazo'.

Thanks to fellow dimer Hobbes4444 for the DAT and of course SB for the original capture.

Samples and artwork included...

So, sit back and soak in the "Event Of A Lifetime".

NOTES
Recorded by me off air direct from the original broadcast during Magnum Opus on 1st April 1986 to a Panasonic Hi-Fi VHS video recorder in SP audio only mode. Sometime in the mid to late 1990's I misguidedly transferred all my radio recordings to VHS LP audio mode. This combined with the age of the tapes has resulted in some evident distortion throughout.

This will fit on one disc with a 54 second overburn.

Notes:

- During this tour "Mandela" was the usual opener.  The taper thinks it's quite possible that he arrived late but has
  no recollection. *
- There were a number of "noises" in the left channel which I understand ocurred when the mic was knocked.
  I have removed most of these.
- Tape flips ocurred at the start of "Savor" and just after the start of "Toussaint L'Overture".  Not much is missing.



Comments:

Quite a good recording but sounds a little distant at times, and there are a couple of small rough spots.  However, it's probably the first time that this show has circulated.

There is a screamer, there's always a screamer, and he just happens to be close by the taper, on his right. Gaffer tape would be too good for him LOL.


Many thanks to Mr. White and Keo

review from QueenLive.ca, from the author of the compilation

This is a pre-LP copy in superb quality, which renders all LP versions to be obsolete, as well as all of the old silvers, because they are sourced from the many LPs (namely Sheetkeeckers,
the very first Queen bootleg, which came out in early 1975).
I filled in a few brief gaps with an LP source.
This version was bootlegged as "Majestic Rock" by Wardour.
This soundboard recording (multi-track, to be precise) clearly contains numerous vocal overdubs, most notably a bit over 3 minutes into Liar
when you can clearly hear a line sung by Freddie (the "time after time" line), and the next line begins before the previous one has ended. Keeping the overdubs in mind, along with the fact that it's mixed perfectly, the between-song segments are edited, and that it's 37 minutes long, I'd like to suggest the possibility that this may have once been considered to be a live album by the band and ultimately shelved.
For years, it has been said that the power went out during Liar,
but people concluded that it couldn't have been this show since the song continued without interruption on the recording.
But if you consider all the overdubs and edits already present on the recording we have, why can't there be yet another one?

Traders Den 3/14/15

Transferred, Channels Balanced, Editing and Tracking by George [kingrue upload 427]

=============================================================


I have an old cassette copy of this Sbd, but was missing the 2nd tape. My tape ends with "True Love" from the 2nd set.

I wanted to track down another copy of it. I asked long time JA collector Rick Martin if he could supply me with another version.
He was happy to send me what he had.

Once I had those flac's I began to realize that my cassette copy had additional material on it.  I decided to use my cassette as a filler where it was needed.

I carefully compared the 2 versions I had in front of me and found quite a few differences.

My cassette is inferior quality to the flac version, but the parts I did use as patches did improve this as a whole.

My tape had the opening song "She Has Funny Cars". I used the entire track here and it runs seamlessly into the next track.

The flacs had a tiny tape cut between tracks 7 and 8.  I used a 12 second piece as filler at the beginning of track 08 "Solidarity".

The flacs on track 9 had a quick fade out after "Wooden Ships", then "Freedom" cuts in.   The song "America" was missing.

I used my tape source to patch in the missing song for track 10. Yet, noticeably lesser quality.

At the end of their first set after they play "Freedom", the flac source is cut off.  I added a 14 second snippet to the very end of track 11, when Grace says thank you and that she's going to the bathroom to read a full novel and be back in 15 minutes.  At this point Hot Tuna enters the stage and plays their 5 song set.

My tape contains the full Hot Tuna set (5 songs) in sub-par quality.  My tape then keeps rolling as Grace mentions Jorma and Jack at the end of their set, followed immediately with Grace and Paul starting the beginning of their set 2.  I don't hear a tape cut at all on my tape between Hot Tuna and Jefferson Airplane sets.  My Set 2 starts with a speaking intro, that seamlessly jumps to "True Love".  But we know there were 4 songs that preceded "True Love" at the beginning of set 2.

The Flac version is missing this intro portion of JA's set 2. I used a 90 second patch at the beginning of set 2 here. I made it a separate track 12.  It's just Grace and Paul talking before they start into "True Love".

I also performed a channel alignment.  What that means is, when I viewed the wave channels side by side, I noticed that the peaks weren't lined up together and that the right channel was running ahead of the left channel.  This can create a false delay effect.  Even though it's only milliseconds, for fidelity reasons, it's still an issue.  So I manually lifted the right channel and moved it back to make both channels run side by side perfectly even. 

A couple other things to make note of: At the very end of Track 14 "Crown of Creation", the last 7 seconds are missing. 
The band is supposed to sing together and hold a note until the end, but the recording is cut off. 

During the middle of track 15 "White Rabbit", there are a couple quick tape cuts. These briefs cuts are at 0:57 and 1:18 min.

At this point my work here is done.

I will say this.  The last song of the night "Planes" is the most gawd awful song ever written by this band and should be stricken from their catalog. Don't you dare go to Youtube/Vevo and watch the video they made for it, you can never un-see it. You've been warned HA HA HA.

I'm sure somewhere out there, a JA collector probably has the full Sbd tapes.  At this point in time,  I don't know about any other sources.  I hope all you JA fans can appreciate this Combo version.

Whoah! I thought it was just a live recording release but realized that you were actually there!

Where were you sitting and from memory, how does the recording sound compared to the live event?

Steely Dan
Live at Starplex Amphitheater
Liberated CD Silvers
September 2, 1994
Dallas, TX


Lineage:  Soundboard -> CD Silvers -> EAC ->
     FLAC Frontend Level 8 -> Trader's Little Helper

 
NOTES:

Here is a fantastic soundboard recording from the 94 tour. The quality exceeds
that of Irvine '94 as that show is lacking in the bottom-end department.
This one more than makes up for it! Indeed, we have a great stereo spread and a
crystalline, transparent capture -- this may be the best sounding Steely Dan ROIO ever.
It is certainly in the upper echeslon. Plus, we have a great backing band and an even
better setlist.

Where did it come from? Well, this, along with some of the other more recent seeds have
been circulating overseas. We've managed to obtain some of the silvers as you've seen.
They are not cheap. This 2 disc set set me back over $100, personally. So long as the
skeevy sellers are selling, we'll be freely sharing until everything is tapped! And as
of the date of this writing, the well is certainly far from dry. Enjoy

Notes:

This is Kansas live at the Palladium during their Audio Visions tour, recorded here in it's entirety. It's an excellent and flawless radio broadcast, without any interference of an announcer or commercials. The beginning of the show is phenomenal: Wagner's Lohengrin is played over the PA and the band comes onstage in total darkness and blends in beautifully with the classical piece before kicking into Point Of Know Return. Sadly this tour is also the last one with the original line up, before Steve decided to leave the band. What makes this show very interesting is the fact they play one song of Steve's and one of Kerry's solo album back to back. It's kind of awkward to hear Steve's sing the lyrics of Mask Of The Great Deceiver. But so was it to hear Black Sabbath's Ronnie James Dio sing the studio version. Track one of the second disc is continued for some minutes on the second track, probably due to some bad editing by the manufacturer. It doesn't affect the listening though. Anyway, this show will be nice addition to your Kansas collection.

Enjoy!

Artist: Willie Nelson & Family
Date: 23 December 2022
Location: Kahului, Maui, Hawaii
Venue: A&B Amphitheater at the MACC

Show Billed As: Willie Nelson & Family

Lineage: AT933(4.7k)(C) mics > bbox > Roland R-07(24/48) >
RX9/Ozone9 > TLH > flac24

Willie Nelson & Family appeared only on Maui for this show.

We felt very privileged - not only because Willie and the family was here - but also because most of the mainland was freezing and inundated with snow while we enjoyed an outdoor concert!

The show itself started with Micah Nelson playing as Particle Kid. Lukas Nelson brought the house down as the second act. Finally, Willie Nelson played along with Lukas, Micah and most of Promise Of The Real. During the set, they were joined by guest appearances from Lily Meola, Mike McCready of Pearl Jam and Marty Dread.

Recording Notes:
The right channel mic seemed to be recording only treble during this set. The RX Mixing Module was used to correct the recording so now it sounds nice. As usual:

Take it if you need it, if you don't just pass it on.

Genesis Rare Tapes
CD1

Looking For Someone (February 22, 1970)

An early classic of the band, this song was never performed live after the
Trespass tour.  Taken from a BBC "live in the studio" recording, this is one
of the earliest live Genesis recordings in known existance.  Recorded in
London, UK.


The Light (March 7, 1971)

The only known recording of this song, "The Light" would eventually develop
into "Lillywhite Lilith," as well as parts of "The Colony of Slippermen" from
"The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway."  This song was perhaps the first Genesis
song to have lyrics written by Phil Collins.  Recorded at the Woluve in
LaFerme, Belgium.


Twilight Alehouse (February 26, 1972)

A early classic that was was written before Trespass (actually, a small bit
can be heard on "From Genesis To Revelation") this song was never officially
released until the "Selling England By The Pound" period, despite being a
staple of the early live set.  Recorded at the Civic Hall in Dunstable, UK.


Harlequin (March 4, 1972)

Although not performed often, "Harlequin" was sometimes used to open Nursery
Cryme tour shows (when "Happy The Man" was not).  Recorded at the Technical
College in Watford, UK.


Bye Bye Johnny (April 14, 1972)

One of the rare examples of Genesis performing songs before released on an
album, "Bye Bye Johnny" is acutally an early version of the "Foxtrot" song
"Can-Utility And The Coastliners."  Recorded at the Palasport in Pavia, Italy.


Happy The Man (April 18, 1972)

"Happy The Man" was another often-performed song that was never released on
an album.  This recording is one of the better quality recordings of Nursery
Cryme tour shows.  Recorded at the Piper Club in Rome, Italy.


Going Out To Get You (April 18, 1972)

Cut from "Trespass" to make room for "The Knife," "Going Out To Get You" is
another song written possibly as early as the "From Genesis To Revelation"
period.  However, unlike "Twilight Alehouse," "Going Out To Get You" was only
sparingly performed live by the band.  Recorded at the Piper Club in Rome,
Italy.


One-Handed Drum Solo (June 28, 1972)

Serving the same function as Peter's now-famous stories, the One-Handed Drum
Solo was a time-filler when instruments required tuning or repair.  "...Phil
Collins went to Russia to study under a famous spastic..." Recorded at the
Town Hall in Watford, UK.


Can-Utility And The Coastliners (August 20, 1972)

"Can-Utility" was originally in the standard Foxtrot tour setlist, but it was
dropped relatively early in the tour.  Recorded at the Piper 2000 Club in Via
Reggio, Italy.


Seven Stones (August 22, 1972)

During the band's early years, one of the only areas that actually liked
Genesis was Italy.  Because of their loyalty to the band, Genesis often
rewarded the Italian fans with some rare songs; this performance of "Seven
Stones" is an example of this.  This recently-uncovered recording (the
complete song) was recorded at the Teatro Alcione in Genova, Italy.


Hope this helps everyone understand why tracks are noteworthy!

-Glenn Radecki

Genesis Rare Tapes
CD 2

Supper's Ready (November 18, 1972)

"Supper's Ready" was and is perhaps the definitive early-Genesis classic.
This is the earliest known live recording of the song.  Recorded at Imperial
College in London, UK.


Harold The Barrel (January 20, 1974)

"Harold The Barrel" was only occassionally performed on the Selling England
By The Pound Tour (and not very often at all!)  This recording is from the
Palasport in Reggio Emilia, Italy.


Horizons (May 4, 1974)

Only occasionally performed live by the band as an intro to "Supper's Ready,"
"Horizons" was perhaps the only Genesis song entirely composed by Steve
Hackett.  Recorded at the Academy of Music in New York City, USA, at the
second to last show of the Selling England By The Pound Tour.


Watcher Of The Skies (January 24, 1975)

While every Lamb tour show had "The Musical Box" as an encore, second encores
were much rarer.  "Watcher Of The Skies" was only occassionally performed as
a second encore on the Lamb Tour.  Recorded at the Shrine Auditorium in Los
Angeles, USA.  This song and the next two are the only tracks from the
January 24, 1975 Lamb show that were not released on the official box set
"Genesis Archives Vol. 1: 1967-1975."


It (January 24, 1975)

This track was apparently, according to the band, was "left off" their tapes
of the Shrine show.  In its place on the box set, a new studio recording of
the song was included.  Recorded at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, USA.


The Musical Box (January 24, 1975)

The third track from the Shrine show that was not released on the boxset.
"The Musical Box" was performed at every Lamb show as an encore.  Recorded at
the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, USA.


The Waiting Room (May 2, 1975)

During the final leg of the Lamb tour in Europe, Genesis would often perform
rather long versions of "The Waiting Room."  Perhaps the best example of a
Genesis song comprised of jamming, this track was recorded at the Hippodrome
in Birmingham, UK.


Hope this helps everyone understand why tracks are noteworthy!

-Glenn Radecki
Genesis Rare Tapes
CD 3

Lillywhite Lilith/The Waiting Room/Wot Gorilla (January 1, 1977)

Taken from the first show of the Wind and Wuthering tour, and Chester
Thompson's first show with Genesis, this is the only Genesis performance of
Wot Gorilla.  Additionally, this is the only performance of Phil Collins
singing "Lillywhite Lilith."  Recorded at the Rainbow Theatre in London, UK.


All In A Mouse's Night (January 2, 1977)

This recording is from the second show of the Wind and Wuthering tour.  "All
In A Mouse's Night" was only performed on the first European leg of the tour.
 Recorded at the Rainbow Theatre in London, England.


Inside And Out (June 24, 1977)

Perhaps one of the best quality unofficial live recordings of Genesis in the
1970s, this recording is from a radio broadcast.  Another rare example of a
non-album song being performed live, this recording is from Earl's Court in
London, UK.  This show was Steve Hackett's second-to-last UK perfomance with
Genesis.


Down And Out (June 7, 1978)

On the ...And Then There Were Three... tour, "Down And Out" was only
performed occasionally.  This recording is from the Scandanavium in
Gothenburg, Sweden.


Supper's Ready (from Apocalypse in 9/8) (June 14, 1978)

Although rehearsed from the tour, this recording was the band's only
performance of "Supper's Ready" on the ...And Then There Were Three... tour.
This recording is from the Westfalenhalle in Dortmund, Germany.


Ballad Of Big (July 29, 1978)

Another song from "...And Then There Were Three..." that was only performed
rarely, this recording is from Madison Square Garden in New York City, USA.


I Know What I Like (July 29, 1978)

Taken from the same show as the previous track, a special guest joined
Genesis for this performance; Peter Gabriel came out to duet with Phil
Collins on the final encore of this show.  Recorded at Madison Square Garden in New York City, USA.


Dancing With The Moonlit Knight/Musical Box (closing section) (October 13,
1978)

Another high-quality recording, this is one of the rare recordings of Phil
Collins singing more than just the beginning of "Dancing With The Moonlit
Knight."  An almost-complete version of the song, this recording is from a
radio broadcast.  Recorded at the Uptown Theater in Chicago, USA.


Hope this helps everyone understand why tracks are noteworthy!

-Glenn Radecki

Genesis Rare Tapes
CD 4

Back In N.Y.C. (June 29, 1980)

Although used to open some of the shows at the very beginning of the Duke
Tour, "Back In N.Y.C." was quickly dropped from the set.  However, the band
fittingly surprised the audience when they pulled this song out as the first
encore at the second-to-last show of the Duke Tour.  Recorded in (of course!)
New York City, USA, at Madison Square Garden.


Me And Virgil (September 27, 1981)

Another rare example of a non-album song being performed live, Me and Virgil
was only performed at the first two shows of the Abacab tour, in Spain.  This
recording is from the second show of the tour.  Recorded at Velodromo Anoeta
in San Sebastian, Spain.


Like It Or Not (November 30, 1981)

This recording is one of only two known live recording of Genesis performing
"Like It Or Not."  Recorded at the Capital Center in Landover (outside
Washington, D.C.), USA.


The Knife (December 23, 1981)

The most recent (excluding the reunion show) performance of this Genesis
classic, this recording is from the last show of the Abacab tour.  Recorded
at the NEC in Birmingham, UK.


No Reply At All (Phenix Horns) (August 22, 1982)

While performed regularly on the Abacab tour, "No Reply At All" was performed
only three times on the Three Sides Live Tour.  However, all three
performances featured the Phenix horns, who played on the original version of
the song.  This recording is from the Forest Hills Tennis Stadium in New York
City, USA.

Paperlate (Phenix Horns) (August 22, 1982)

One of only 3 live performances of this song by Genesis, all of them with the
Phenix Horns, this song is from the same show as the previous track.
Recorded at the Forest Hills Tennis Stadium in New York City, USA.


Eleventh Earl Of Mar/Squonk/Firth Of Fifth (October 11, 1983)

The Mama tour signified a new change for Genesis; for the first time, a
medley of older songs was performed that did not have "In The Cage" (this
medley was in addition to the "Cage" medley).  The Mama tour also featured
the most recent performances of "Squonk" (unless the rumours that it was
performed on the Invisible Touch Tour are true...)  This appears to be from
the fifth show of the Mama tour, but the date is incorrect; the first show of
the Mama tour was on November 6, 1983.  This appears to likely be from
November 10, 1983 instead (written 10-Nov-83 in European format).  Assuming it
is November 10, it was recorded at the Mecca Arena in Milwaukee, USA.


Eleventh Earl Of Mar/Behind The Lines/Firth Of Fifth/Musical Box (January 17,
1984)

Another of the "old songs medleys" from the Mama tour, this medley included
"Behind The Lines" and "The Musical Box", which replaced "Squonk."  "Behind
The Lines" was performed for only 8 shows before being replaced by "The Lamb
Lies Down On Broadway. Recorded at McNichols Arena in Denver, USA.


Hope this helps everyone understand why tracks are noteworthy!

Unknown accompanist(s) - the first 6 tracks include female vocals, zither, and harmonium.
This could be one person, two, or three. We are guessing one.
At track 4 Deborah Santana is introduced though by another name, not found in preliminary research.
We believe she is an additional vocalist on tracks 4-6.

trio:
Presumably this is Workman on bass and Shrieve on drums, as they are introduced at the end.
However this is not confirmed.
Note that Workman played on the original recording of Africa.


electric band:
Armando Peraza - congas
Reggie Workman - bass
Jules Broussard - saxophones, flute
Michael Shrieve - drums
Tom Coster - keys

=== Notes ===

Light mastering, tagging, circulation and these notes by Tyler RH aka Mr. Completely in 2023.
Source material provided via, and research by, Key Man Jesse Jarnow.
Extensive and insightful setlist and instrumentation parsing by Jeremy Erwin.
Many thanks to both of them.

About the performance:
- Per the SF Examiner listing, billed as "an evening of spiritual music."
- A fascinating progression of pieces, some of them seemingly unique to this performance.
- We would love any information about the accompanist(s) described above, or any other aspects of the show.
- God Then also appears in the Illuminations sessions
- The two Alice Coltrane solo pieces do not correspond to any composition or existing track we can find. We believe them to be improvisations and have labeled them thus.
- Africa is of course the John Coltrane song of that title.

About the recording and mastering process:
- Provided in a lossless audio format with no information beyond a mildly incorrect date and location. Jesse corrected the date; the SF Examiner listing he found is provided.
- Presumably from the quality of the recording a reel to reel master was made from the soundboard and at least one, possibly a few, analog generations exist between that master and the digital transfer.
- The files provided contained many minor flaws. Due to the historic nature of this fileset I have chosen to correct very few of them, using minimally invasive methods, for this initial version. The recording merits and could benefit from professional remastering. So I tried not to do anything that would get in the way of that.
- I joined all the files together using very minor splices and overlaps. No music was edited.
- I fixed the many clipping errors, but did nothing else to the levels.
- The pieces in the first half of the show are introduced by the artists.
- Jeremy and I figured out the rest of them.
- Details of instrumentation were determined by Jeremy. Thanks again for that excellent work.
- The original fileset came with the studio sessions for the Illuminations album, which we will circulate as a separate fileset. The recordings are at least approximately contemporaneous and together represent a significant addition to the available archival material relating to this era of Alice Coltrane's career. It has been our honor and privilege to work on this historic material.

* Trey on acoustic guitar.
** Simpsons signal.
*** Minor lyric changes.
**** Not played in its entirety.
***** Chorus sung by Jay von Lehe.

Trey teased I Can't Turn You Loose in Divided Sky. The Horse featured Trey on acoustic guitar. This long version of Wilson included a Simpsons signal and, towards the end, a freakish jam that included an Iron Man tease from Mike. Reba included a tease of the theme from Woody Woodpecker. The first Tweezer had Straight Out the Sewer quotes from Trey and a Low Rider jam. Glide subsequently included Tweezer teases. Mike’s Song featured minor lyric changes, three different Tweezer teases, two different Wilson teases, and other teases of Reba, Lizards, and Stash. During Hydrogen before the Vibration of Life, Mike teased Entrance of the Gladiators. After Kung, Mike quoted NO2. The Rock and Roll All Nite jam was for fan Jay von Lehe, dressed as Kiss’s Gene Simmons, who the band brought on stage to sing the song’s chorus. Terrapin featured band intros and lots of chatter from Fish, prompting a hurry-up HYHU tease from Page. Fish also performed a lengthy vacuum solo during this tune. The HYHU outro segued into Hood as Fish and Trey switched places. Neither Have Mercy (first since Halloween, 1986, or 669 shows) nor MMGAMOIO were played in their entirety. Walk Away was played for the first time since November 2, 1991 (159 shows). This show was released as part of the Phish At The Roxy box set.

This is a combination of a few different DATs that I have been given.  There were several drop outs and diginoise on all copies.  I was able to patch all of them into a seamless fileset.  There are too many to list, but you won't notice any.

Power Tripp Festival

***************************
Commentaries by XmauroX79:
Hi Everybody,

Back with a new and special upload featuring AC/DC.
24 hours later, I am proud to present you the full audio concert of their performance at the PowerTrip festival in Indio, Californ
After 7 years of absence, among retirements, Brian’s ear problems, Mal’s death, doubts for the future yet a new album in Covid Times, the band is back in concert with an incredible performance.
Brian is now 76 and he gave everything he could, Angus seems like a 20-year old boy with an incredible energy, and Phil’s replacement, Matt Laug, did not disappoint at all, fitting perfectly in his shoes and giving a perfect Phil-vibe style.
Yes, the rust is there for everybody, Brian had also problems with his in-ear, but still, in 2023 AC/DC really kick some ass, bringing a couple of songs from Power Up and even some oldies, like Riff Raff (first time ever since 1996 with Brian) and Stiff Upper Lip (first time since 2003). The quality is excellent (A-), so enjoy with max volume.

I received the FLAC which I adjusted as described above, due to heavy work travel schedule, I at the moment do not have the time to split tracks, so sorry, but if you wish you can DYI, the important is that you don't sell it. If you share it, at least credit me.

Thanks to some random dude who recorded this. I applied EQ, Compression, a little bit of noise reduction and a slight bass boost.

The incredible setlist here below (12 songs Brian Era, 12 Bon Era)

I receive this full audio from XmauroX79 and I only splitted the tracks and prepare the info file.
This is a new source which for me has very good quality audio, the another source are "ijwthstd" (135.57) and "fried_morals" (135.59)

I want to give a big thanks to XmauroX79 for sharing this recording and also to XmauroX79's friend who recorded this concert.

orig taper/uploader notes:

I've seen this recording listed on people's internet lists for years,
all, apparently, copies from an edited 60 minute listening copy of the
master I made years ago. Since both Levon and Rick's estate are trade
friendly, I decided it was time to post the whole show here.

In early 1983, Helm and Danko did this tour as an acoustic duet.  Rick is
heard on the guitar and vocals, while Levon covers the mandolin, harmonica
and vocals.

Recorded live on 28 January 1983 at Starry Night, Portland, Oregon,
using a soundboard feed to a Nakamichi 480 cassette deck.  Tom Robinson
was at the board.  The left channel held the vocals and harmonica, while
the right channel held the guitar and mandolin.  The tape was recorded
somewhat hot, causing some distortion.

In April 2009 I transferred the master tape to 24bit/48000hz PCM.
In May I remastered that transfer to cleanup tape noise and clicks, to
minimize the distortion, and to remix the channels.  The results bring
home a steller performance by these two long-time members of The Band.

I've included some simple artwork for a CD label and cover. The front
photo is from the show and is the work of Fred Carneau.

note=2022 upload notes:
note=exact same files as orig torrent, except fixed total vocal dropout
note= from 03:09 to 03:21 in "short fat fanny" (copied same lyric from
note= earlier in song) not a perfect edit but sounds better than the
note= vocals missing for 11 seconds (original file is in sub-directory)

A solid SBD, don't let the lineage scare you off.  The end of Set III and the encore, if there was one, are missing.

Some sort of discontinuity in Shoot Out The Lights has been improved but not eliminated.  A second gap in the middle of Good Things is hard to find unless you know the lyrics and notice the "I've got a woman" verse is half missing.  A third, at the tape switch during Let The Red Wine Flow, has been improved but at least several seconds are missing.  A final gap, also probably a tape flip, during Last Getaway, has been smoothly crossfaded.

Bruce Barnum was a Deadhead and an avid taper from the early 1980’s until his death in 2017 at age 48.  Over the years, he taped dozens of Dead shows throughout the Northeast, as well as other concerts, some of which have not been heard since then.  After his death, about 60 of his master cassettes turned up in a used record store in Hudson, NY, where some had been bought by random people nostalgic for the days of cassettes.  The rest were purchased by a fellow Deadhead and archivist.  Bruce’s daughter, Jessica, had more, and was kind enough to lend them to be digitized.  Many of these recordings sound excellent for their age.  They are Bruce's legacy. 

Enjoy!

one in the jam on Harry, cross faded it too, doesn't sound too bad. There
are a few points where one channel gets choppy. The worst was at the end of
Halleys where I mixed it to mono for a short section, it was that bad.
Finaly, to normalize I boosted the first set 2.5 db, and the second set 4.5
db.

Chris Potter - tenor and soprano saxes, bass clarinet
Craig Taborn - Piano
Scott Colley - Bass
Marcus Gilmore - Drums

“The tenor saxophonist Chris Potter puts enormous force into his sound, and an even greater measure of control. His tone, all over the extended range of the horn, is dry and dark, often brusque: he doesn’t purr or warble, and he treats vibrato as a special indulgence, like a dusting of shaved truffles. He’s fond of thwarted symmetry and surprising digressions. He knows how to build pressure in a solo, and he does this with such extraordinary technical command that his exertions can feel both heroic and routine."
— New York Times

Welcome to Volume 145 of the "Two Of Us" Master Series.

Between 1983 and 2002 there were not any tapers more active than the "Two Of Us". For the better part of two decades they taped over 250 artists with an array being taped multiple times.

If you collect Springsteen then you are already familiar with some of their work, "fmcleanboots" has posted a half dozen or so of their "Tunnel Of Love" tour shows but has decided to pass the baton

What you don't know is their passion was not just for Springsteen but for music and that passion runs deep. It is astonishing how many artists they taped.

They followed tours taping club shows, theater shows, arena shows, big artists, mid-level artists and local artists.

If they were following a tour and the tour had an off night they'd see who else was playing that night to tape. Always focused on enjoyment of the show as the priority,
tickets were for the most part acquired outside of the venue as they worked to obtain the best possible seats, continually trading up until the correct seats were acquired.

The results of this were the captures are uniformly excellent but on occasion the start of the show was sacrificed as a trade-off for the seats.

The heavy lifting was done by the Sony WM-D6C and an external Shure Mic before moving to DAT for the last couple of years. None of their masters have ever been circulated and
have been safely stored for the past three to four decades in a climate controlled environment. Tapes transferred so far are in pristine condition.

Though we may do some mini releases of a series of shows in order for one portion of a tour for the most part shows will not be released in order, there are just too many of them.

This will be a very exciting series and we hope along the way we upgrade existing circulating audio and offer up shows that do not have any circulating audio, enjoy the ride, this is definitely not a dark ride.

******************************************************************************

Paul Simon with Art Garfunkel @ Paramount Theater - NYC, NY October 5, 1993

In October 1993 Paul Simon took up residency at the Paramount Theater for a show billed as "The Concert Event Of A Lifetime". What started out as a handful of dates stretched into 21 nights.

It appears only 5 of the 21 shows are in circulating, we are pleased to add a 6th show of this legendary event with the 5th show of the stand, October 5th.

Two Of Us secured their usual excellent taping seats to get an excellent capture of the night's performance. All of the shows were basically the same set with some guest performances.

The last song, "Old Friends", is presumably missing appearing to have closed each night on the previous captures.

Samples and artwork provided.

Thanks to Professor Goody's continuing attention to detail keeping us rolling in the correct pitch week after week.

As always a massive thanks to "Two Of Us" and their dedication to capturing all these legendary performers, the HOURS and HOURS spent waiting in line, traveling, money on tickets as well as trusting me to be the caretaker of their life's work, our little community is indebted to you both. Also, a big thank you to my friend "fmcleanboots" for putting me in touch and laying the groundwork that has resulted in all these great releases...we've barely scratched the surface.

      Slight wind once or twice, almost no crowd within the music,
   I give it an "A-" for soundQuality, "A" for Performance.

Recorded on a NMJ320 at 16/48, feed taken from a DAP1 running
Neumann TLM 130s thru a Lunatech V2 and Apogee Mini Me.
   I downsampled using Izotope Ozone @Psych2 with Soundforge6 as the "Host",
also cutting on sector boundaries with this.  Verified w/ shntool.

   I think this is a really nice laid back Winwood show with really nice "Can't Find My
Way Home" and "Mr. Fantasy".  The Denson speaks for itself.  Enjoy.

Checkered History Based on Inadequate Research

This recording (assuming only one) was issued on CD as _Charles Mingus: Live in Chateauvallon, 1972_ by the France's Concert label (FCD 134). Copyright was asserted as of 1989 on behalf of Wotre Music, but the release is deemed unauthorized.  A re-issue by FC came in 1995.

In 2002, a "WOLF HiQuality Remastering" of this concert was listed by Rolf W. for a CD-R trading tree at vmtrades.de. Lineage was given there as:
     ? > CDRx? > EAC > WaveLab > WaveMerge > WaveRepair > shorten > SHN
     Audio: 1 x CDR, Lossless compressed: 1 x CDR, A

New jewelcase artwork also appeared, as contained in this torrent.

It's reasonable to suppose that the version offered with this information file is a second re-master of the Wolf version, originally extracted from the France's Concert CD. This account relies on information in Esa Onttonen's Mingus discography at  <http://webusers.siba.fi/~eonttone/mingus/details/fcd134.html>  -- gratefully acknowledged.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Mingus (with Charles McPherson) was interviewed on the spot at Chateauvallon, directly after this performance -- actually during the following set by the Michel Portal Unit. Part One of the candid, at times bitter, conversation with Philippe Carles for Jazz Magazine is published in French here:

<http://www.jazzmagazine.com/Interviews/Dhier/mingus/Mingusitv72b.htm>.

     Jazzmag: In your program at Nice and at Chateauvallon, there
     was a *humorous* type of blues...

     Mingus: There's always been that type of blues... there are all
     kinds of blues: sad blues, joyful blues, sexy blues, crying blues
     ... sad blues and crying blues are two different things. Shouting
     blues, that's something else again...

Interestingly, Mingus' son Eugene is named as the conga player in a Charles Mingus *Quintet* for this date, although a fifth musician on percussion is nowhere to be heard. It would be odd for eyewitnesses to make a mistake about that, only minutes after the group had finished playing. The Mephisto photo archive index at  <http://www.mephistophoto.com/asp/affmusicien.asp?NMus=8540&Lang=EN&Tri=0>  even includes Eugene Mingus in a concert photo shot at Chateauvallon that year, with the note, "On stage." Eugene's recessiveness might have to do with the disappointment expressed by his father about his preference for rock music over formal piano studies; but it might also be that the recording we have is not a complete document of the event.

Whatever the case, it was a relaxed and poised performance by masters enjoying the attention of an appreciative audience. The version heard here is meant to be just a bit closer to what they heard in 1972.

No woman, no cry

sdb>?>flac.  nice sound

Kirshner was the host and creator of a weekly rock-concert program called Don Kirshner's Rock Concert from 1972 to 1983.
With its long-form live performances, as compared to canned, often lip-synched performances that were the staple of earlier
TV shows like Shindig!, it was a real breakthrough. Many consider it the predecessor to MTV.

The program presented many of the most successful rock bands of the era, but what was consistent week-to-week was Kirshner's
deliberately flat delivery as the program host. In its final season Rock Concert was mostly hosted by Kirshner's son and daughter
whose delivery was the same as their father's.

From Wikipedia

Guitarist, Gabriel Marin, plays a double-neck guitar customized with MIDI pickups and a fretless neck. He employs sweep-picking and various synthesized instruments            on his guitar which he controls with three pedalboards.
Bassist, John Ferrara, plays a Fodera five-string bass and utilizes slap bass, slide, and tapping.[11]
On drums, Jeff Mann plays a range of styles from heavy double-bass to Indian tala rhythms.[1]


Marin has stated, "Our music combines influences from Turkish, Bulgarian, North and South Indian styles with jazz and fusion, and then we filter it through our own heavy, rock and psychedelic sounds and approaches"

Notes:  There are a few level fluctuations and mic bumps that were present on the master reels.  I left them intact and made no attempts to "correct" them.  They do not detract from the recording.  These are great recordings of the classic Country Gentlemen.

Please do not rename the shn files or convert them to any lossy format (mp3 etc.)  Also, keep the shn and wav md5 files with the shn files and this text file as well and do not modify any of them.

This is an excellent record of a great show, we are very fortuate to have such a quality result - The atmosphere at the show is very well represented here, I can attest to this on a personal level since I was there!
Again, profound appreciation and all credit to ballsdeep for recording and sharing this fine, fine document from the 1999 Reunion Tour!

Taper: Ballsdeep

Location:  sec 117, row 12, Tony's side. (Taper's comment:  I was well aligned with the stage left stack, so it's a great recording, for being in the upper reaches/not on the floor.)

11 - Children of the Grave

Encore:
12 - Paranoid

show notes: This was the last of 7 planned Sabbath shows for myself. Although SLC and Denver were on my itinerary/radar, those 2 shows were postponed due to Ozzy and the band falling ill with the flu. There were hints in San Jose, and it was pretty bad in Portland, but here in Seattle Ozzy was in rough shape....cracking voice (listen to "N.I.B."), hoarse between-song banter, and the crowd definitely helped him with the singing. The one bright spot in the mess was that, to my ears, the band really seemed to help carry Ozzy (just listen to the middle/end of "Iron Man", to my ears the best I've ever heard). great sounding show, taped from the 200 level on Tony's side, right near the stack. The sound man on this tour was amazing. About 20-30m of Pantera was taped, none of the Incubus was.  Hopefully you folks enjoy, and there's more (Portland, San Jose audie, 2 nights in LA) where this came from though the LA ones I'm pretty sure have been up on dime before

Sometimes you find little treasures, I think this is one: An old cassette tape, miraculously it was still fine, so no sound processing was done, wonderful noise full of life. I did some cutting to kill clicks and normalized the volume.

Enjoy the show

Maybe someone can make some artwork - it would be greatly appreciated!

A link to a mp3 sample will be in the comments section.

I dug around for a better idea of the date and came up with the one above by looking
through archival material at http://www.atvaudio.com.  Aside from the changes to the info
file, I have not otherwise altered the files.  I did add the shntool output and generated
an MD5 checksum file as these were not originally included in the file set upped at Dime.
I hope you enjoy this fine outlaw country!

Unknown Date, 1989

1. Gee Gee - 12:42
2. Blue John - 15:59

Musicians:
Big John Patton - Hammond B3 organ
John Zorn - alto saxophone
Marc Ribot - guitar
Jeff Hirschfield - drums

Source:
pre-FM (mono) on cassette

Lineage:
pre-FM cassette >PC via M-Audio Audiophile 2496 >CoolEdit Pro 2.0 >CD Wave >Trader's Little Helper >FLAC (level 6, ASB)

Notes:
Part of a live series promoting the Knitting Factory. This dates from my days as a college DJ. As the director of jazz programming (I got all the slots I wanted and then found others to cover the few that were left at ungodly hours) I opened the packages directed to our humble station's jazz department. Among the goodies were a few packages containing cassettes of a series of live recordings from the Knitting Factory in New York City. All the cassettes were only around 30 minutes in duration and contained material not released on the Knitting Factory's live samplers. Items I can recall include tapes featuring Roy Campbell, Rashied Ali, Bill Frisell, Geri Allen, and this one with John Zorn's Emergency.

In my youthful idiocy (and poverty) I recall taping over several of the cassettes to save material. After all, a top quality metal cassette was worth a lot in 1989!

Back when my cassette deck was working well I transferred some of the surviving tapes to DAT, and some of those I backed up to FLAC. Maybe some day when I come across a good cassette deck in working order I'll be able to transfer some others.

Discographical information adapted from Charles Mingus Live Recordings 1973 - 1977: http://home.earthlink.net/~lpogost/mingus.htm



"Saw Mingus @ the Tyee Motor Lodge Tumwater Wa in about '77. He stopped the band in the middle of the set and tore Danny a new asshole for getting lost. Mingus made off with my housemate Michaels' girlfriend and we has to retrieve her from his room, so I've seen Mingus, pissed off and naked except for a towel on the middle of the night. Danny subsequently stole my friend Manny (who's band opened)'s tenor and they had to get a search warrant for his hotel room in Seattle the next day, to get it back."

Notes from phone call with Charles and Jim on November 11, 2023:
"Last good dark star they ever played...Mono audience tape is better than the sbd because it has the acoustics of winterland...dead center 10 rows back...mono sony recorder...Sony TC-55.  11-9 and 10 were recorded but they were damaged because of sand that got into the blank tapes at the beach playing frisbee the day before, figured it out after recording the shows with damaged tapes.  Bought new blanks to record the 11th"

Grateful Dead
3/7/95
Club Front
San Rafael, CA

Taper's Section / rehearsal

01 Watching the Wheels
02 It's All Too Much



Taper's Section:
3/5/07:
In 1995, just before embarking upon the Spring Tour, the band spent a couple of days rehearsing, and amongst the music played during these practices, was this one-time-only version of John Lennon’s Watching The Wheels from 3/7/95. Sung by Vince, it is a beautiful little rendition of this great song. Also from the same date and same vocalist is this reading of It’s All Too Much, which would be debuted live by the Grateful Dead a little more than a week later in Philadephia. Worth noting is that in the middle of this rehearsal version of It's All Too Much, Vince sings a line from the song Sorrow, a hit in the UK in 1966 by the Merseys, later covered by David Bowie on his 1973 all-covers album, Pinups. The Beatles, of course, had also borrowed this line in their version of It's All Too Much.

Disk author's note on audio: The 16-bit audio was double-tracked with bass removed from one track using iMovie audio software. This brought the mid-range and treble up to accentuate the singer's vocals.

travelinbeat's notes on the audio:
Location: *STEALTH*
Editing:  Tracking and fades were done while the show was laid in Sony Soundforge 10.0a (Build 425) as a wav file.  Periodic loud points (nearby claps) were enveloped to allow for more headroom in Normalization (each channel independently to -0.10dB).
Conversion: 24/96 wav's resampled using r8brain v1.9 at "Very High Quality" setting.  Newly created 16bit/44.1kHz wavs converted to flac using Trader's Little Helper v.2.7.0 (Build 172)

More Notes:

This show had half-second pops in between each track for whatever reason.
I re-joined the entire set and edited them out in SoundEdit 16 v.2, re-split the tracks in CD Wave 1.71, and re-shortened using Shorten 1.1a4.
This show should now have NO problems. < ryan@muschology.com (08.19.2002) >

Hoserama Show Notes:
--Solid show by the Who. Band in good spirits, Roger sounds excellent, but maybe not the highest energy show in general. Good representation of the orchestra show overall.

Hoserama Recording Notes:
--Recorded a bunch of IEM feeds, and they love the click + counts. I've removed most of them, but you might still hear some left over. Pretty good mix overall.

Hoserama General Notes: 
--As always, encouraging people to get into taping and mixing. Just take the craft seriously and it will reward you many times over. There's no point in complaining about missing recordings or subpar quality if you're not contributing--pushing 1's and 0's around on the internet is no comparison for taping.
--IEM recordings are not for everyone. If not they're not your thing, either sonically or ethically, well at least you didn't spend any money on this.
--Similarly, I'm mixing primarily for my ears. This is what sounds best to me. This may not sound best to you. That's a fair statement. I'm open to honest criticism (although you should have caught me when I was working on the mix!), but pointless complaining is unappreciated (naturally). Let's play nice.
--Please don't sell this recording in any way - no cash for blanks, 2:1s, or any other form of "getting paid for your time". Just share it freely.
--Please don't convert to mp3, then back to wave, and then trade it around. This stuff is too easy to find on torrents now.
--Feel free to remaster/remix this recording. Just keep it to your own computer and iPod.
--Also, please don't torrent or share on other sites without at least dropping me a line and asking. I may want to just torrent/share it there myself. This means you, guitar101!
--Please ask (and wait for permission!) before putting it into any matrix + video production. If you ask nicely for a quality high-res video project, I will likely say “yes”. If you put it on YouTube or cell phone video production without asking, I will send my cats from hell to chew your computer cables.
--Enjoy y'all!
- Hoserama/Sharebear 

vanillag NOTES (1/6/2023): 
--HUGE thanks to Hoserama/Sharebear/senecastj for all the detailed work & blood sweat & tears put into recording this 2022 the Who show & mixing it up so tastily for us all to enjoy!!  Also BIG thanks to Anonymous for the Schoeps MK4 capture of this night.  Much respect & Absolutely Appreciated!!

This is post peak Cobham but I have a soft spot for this album/group. Underated-IMO. The 20 min Stratus is guranteed to knock your socks off.

Tom Coster is a great surprise here! He does not play on the album or any other recordings that I know of. Of course, Mark Soskin is great too. Also, if you don't know already this IS the Randy Jackson of Journey/American Idol fame. Saw him with Narada in 83' and he killed! Charles Singleton is not well known but he does some nasty solos.


I kindly request that mighty Glasnost master his recording of this band & seed it (my copy has heaps of digi-noise). Thanks in advance! 

enjoy

.... picked this up a couple of years ago from a guy who claimed to have a low generation copy.
To my ear this sounds reasonable, a very listenable and reasonable quality recording
without too much hiss or crowd. For those not sure, checkout by downloading one
short track first. Don't see this one around very much, and have not seen on dime before.
Great version of Blows, but not separated into tracks - it's all or nothing.

Torrented at Yeeshkul.com, June 28, 2008 by Bert13.


the original open reel master was done by paul v. who sadly passed away in the early 90's. his equipment was a uher 4400 stereo + 2 dynamic monacor (type not know) mics.

about a year before his death he made the one and only known cassette copy off the master to maxell udxl2/90' (equipment not known) which "ended up" with a well known hoarder. this person made a few cassette copies for others (nak cr7e (azimuth corrected) > sony tcd5m). a digital clone was probably never made.

there was the idea of approaching his widow to obtain the original reel, but of course / fortunately this never happened. one should be happy to have a copy at all and respect the dead; right?

the only truly sad aspect is that he had (could not find it at the time) some super 8mm film of colmar as well. he also had some decent footage of zurich '72.

unfortunately - over the years - that had become a part of a bigger spool that also contained some very, very personal footage ("sexual revolution" as mr. wassers so aptly puts it). understandably he was not too feascinated by the prospects of borrowing the whole spool to "somebody" let alone to a transfer studio.

but then ... there are the well known beautiful photographs done guy m. ... BONNE NUIT !!!

Savoy Brown featuring Kim Simmonds which seems to be the more political correct these days are one of my fav's, and great to see
them do a quick Northwest showing, and a fine show this was on all accounts, except "Hellbound Train" was not played (although on
setlist) due to time constraints, although there would have been no problems at this venue to play longer, but perhaps the band should
not have taken a looooong set break! (they had 8pm-11pm to do there thing).

Once again, thanks to Big Zach for incredible sound, you make the place rock!

support the artist, see 'em live they are worth every bit of your hard earned cash, buy official merch, "Steel" the latest

“Going Around”

            Yes were in the midst of a grueling 60 show US tour. Tonight’s performance was the
43rd gig since the tour began in April and the 7th night in a row of scheduled work. Only the
cancelled show in Kansas City 3 nights earlier –from an unstable roof- gave them a reprieve. But
now they were in Chicago, a city they knew quite well. The band had played here 14 times before,
if you include the performance the night before this one. The International Amphitheatre was
also familiar to the band. They had played this venue 9 times before, with the last visit
September 24th 1978. The setlist for tonight was quite similar to what was played during their
last visit. For this evening, the guys would replace ‘Silent wings of Freedom’ and ‘Don’t Kill
the Whale’ with ‘And You And I’ and a Tour song; the rest of the material would remain
essentially the same.
            This tour marked the 10th anniversary for the band. The tour book used at the time
makes reference to this with words from Dan Hedges: “With their tenth anniversary behind them,
Yes, as strong as ever, are embarking on this tour, the opening event of their second decade.
Although the band is looking to the future with the same kind of energy that has always made
Yes so existing, it seems not a bad time to recap some of the events of the last ten years.
As an on-going idea, Yes have been around for ten years now, yet they've collectively got
this strange disinterest in most things remotely concerning their past. Sure, they'll walk
out on stage and blast through 'Roundabout', 'Starship Trooper', 'Siberian Khatru', and
'Close To The Edge'. That's music. They still love those as much as always, and they'll
probably be playing some of them tonight. But when it comes down to things like times,
dates, places, events, and slapping themselves on the back for past achievements, you'll
more often than not get a mystified shrug with a "... but does it really matter?". Yes are
totally aware that it's you - the people who buy their albums and come to see them - who are
the main reason why Yes remain alive and well. Ten years on, they thank you for that.
DAN HEDGES

Notes from the Re-Master

Generally, this was a very good radio broadcast recording. Noise reduction was only used in a
few selected regions. The left channel volume was about 20% below the right consistently
throughout the show. This was corrected. Crackle and pops were numerous and needed to be removed.
 Finally, a few tonality adjustments were made. All in all, a very good recording with strong
music signal and great detail

It's been said that this may be the definitive version of this show. Please weigh in with your comments!

This great set is here in a version that can directly be burned to CDr. A suggested split is to put the DSOTM material on one disk, and the remainder on the second.

Many thanks to Sgt. Weatherman for the professional artwork!

Notes: Many many thanks to the taper and Mesquite for sharing this gem from his fantastic collection. Recording seems a little boomy, turn down the bass & turn up the treble during playback. Can never get bored of CWTAE (a psychedelic masterpiece) and Echoes. Nice jam during OTR & ACYL.

This cd came to me with 11 tracks with some repeats between cds. I used cdwave & Cool Edit pro (CEP) to split tracks and remove any repeats. No other processing was done.

Harvey Mandel
Unknown
San Francisco area, CA
1995-xx-xx

Source:   On-stage(?) mics > DAT by Chief via David McGee
Transfer: DAT > Tascam DA-3000 > WAV @ 16/48 by Charlie Miller
Master:   Wavelab 10 (tracking, remove DC offset) > FLAC 1648

Thanks to Chief and David McGee for the DATs and Charlie Miller for the transfer.

01. Unknown
02. The Snake
03. Let's Work Together
04. Crosscut Saw
05. My Soul's On Fire

This DAT was labelled but the label was illegible.  Chief's collection contained two other Harvey Mandel DATs from 1994 and 1995.  This performance includes Bobby Strickland (it sounds like him) and Lori Davidson (it sounds like her, and she is introduced) but has nothing to indicate where the show took place.  Chief's collection was from the Bay Area, however.  So this performance was likely in or near San Francisco, probably in 1995, although 1994 is also possible.

Chief also had a number of on-stage recordings made by Steve Fink or others, using AKG C61s or KM 254s. This sounds like one of them, but again, the label was not legible.  It sounds great, though.

Enjoy!

Remastered 9-2017 - remaster of shn id# 23743
When I first transferred this I knew nothing about my remastering program.
I had normalized the show in it's entirety, instead of by set.
This caused each set to have different volume levels, do I did them individually this time
the original average levels were @ 62%, there were some volume bursts, and the balance was off.
this new remaster is a vast improvement of the same transfer. Enjoy!
(Please note that the original transfer listed Toa DM1200d mics. this lists the proper mic model)
I also tagged the new version.

FRANK ZAPPA
June 30, 1991
Taban Budapest, Hungary

Frank's last public performance.

I got this on tape about 10 years ago.
It must have been on the tracker before but it's not here now so here it is again.
If it was here I have no idea if this sounds better or worse.
I believe that Frank spoke after his performance.
That is NOT included here because I do not have it.
I am pretty sure that all the music he played IS here.

--------------------------
THE BAND
FZ - guitar
Gyula Babos - guitar
J‡nos Egri - bass
BŽla "Szakcsi" Lakatos - keyboard
Imre Kšszegi - drums

__________________________

THE SONGS:
01 intro
02 improv #1
03 improv #2

BONUS (tracks 04 & 05)
04 My Name is Fritz
These two are from the late 1970's boot "Remington Electric Razor"
Track 04 is from a scratchier record than track 05
"My Name Is Fritz" is a circa 1968-1969 comedy bit in the studio
This parodies a German customs officer (Roy Estrada) searching the band's luggage.

05 Remington Electric Razor
Linda Ronstadt is credited as the female singer on this.
Maybe, maybe not.


--------------------------
THE PERFORMANCE:
I like it.
Frank working in a more casual context than we usually get to hear him.
He's not playing his music.
It's just jamming.
Not as eastern european-sounding as I had thought it would be.
In spirit anyway, it kind of reminds me of some of the improvised stuff he did at Amougies back in October 1969.

--------------------------
THE SOUND:
Audience sourced.
Quite listenable.
A little hissy during the quieter moments.

I have no idea how this compares to any other version of this show that might have been on the tracker previously.

NO noise reduction or other "remastering" has been done.
This is a straight digitization from the cassette I got a decade ago.

--------------------------
THE LINEAGE:
audience > ???? > cassette > digitization via Audacity > FLAC 8 via xAct

HEY GANG:
I offer what I have, with ALL the information known to me.
If you've got a better version, seed it.
If you have more accurate information, please add it in a comment.
Try and keep it positive.
Let's make this as good an experience for all as possible.

Paul Simon, Paris-FR, Theatre des Champs Elysees, 30 october 1980, (Art Garfunkel as guest) SM aud master, uncirculated

My last contribution for the freeloader period : an uncirculated Paul Simon show.
I used my Sony TCD5 with 2 x Phonia powered mics (i had my Beyer set some month later).
The result is good considering i had seats in the theater chicken coop.

The sound improves after a few songs.
Beautiful Gospel set.
Art Garfunkel came for two encores.

Cassette - Marantz 4051 SD deck (pitch) - Zoom H4 - SD card on PC - Audacity (volume, a bit of eq, tracks, FLAC export) - md5 with TLH.

The guitarist sounds like Eric Gale with Steve Gadd also in the band.

03 Still Crazy After All These Years

Another great musical genius who thankfully stuck around long enough (unlike saxophonist Eric Dolphy)
to produce a large body of work.  The 1964 tour is well documented on legitimate & bootleg releases.
This one includes the afternoon rehearsal-listen to disc 1 track 2 for some chatter between Mingus and Dolphy.
As with all concerts from this era, there was no soundboard & multi-tracking, so the recordings came from onstage
microphones, which is how this came into being probably for a radio broadcast.  We can thank the Swedish
for broadcasting a lot of music which eventually was preserved for our listening pleasure many years later!

as always, enjoy & share the music...

Stereo soundboard recording.

I got this show in a trade with a former member of "The Sex Beatles" who is a long time friend of
Steve and Miquette. His note said this tape was given to him by mr. Hillage in 1979.
I don't have any further info except that it came to me as two .wav files (one or each side of
the tape).
It's most likely incomplete but I never saw it on traders lists so I guess someone
might like it. This tape was described as "played hundreds of times" but it's still listenable.
Enjoy!

***Lineage: "Dick's version" Master (reel) - DAT - DAT (clone) - CDR - Flac

***see amendment text file included in this torrent folder.

--------

notes from other torrent:
Soundboard recording, a bit faint in spots, and a few cuts and mic drops here and there.  Some of the instruments are faint, like the fiddle in "Orange Blossom Special", and the vocals are loud and raw.  You may also see this as a Grateful Dead show or as "Jerry Garcia & Friends", depending on who the listener favors.  Doug's out front singing and Jerry plays pedal steel for a good part of the night (see included photo).  It does sound very Dead-like sometimes though, as you would imagine.

amended note for this torrent:
There seem to be two versions of this around (at least), with a few different tracks and the discs broken out differently. 
THIS COPY was recieved as part of a large batch of Dead Dats that were supposedly from Dick Latvala's archive of shows that were NOT under consideration for the Dick's Picks series. Given out to close associates before his passing.

This version includes "Mr. Tambourine Man" as well as "Kentucky Waltz" and "Big Boss Man", so i believe its the MOST complete version in circulation.
tracking is left as was recieved ("roll over beethoven" etc. is actually a medley, as is the case with "shake a hand" which Doug just throws in a few lines from)
This version also seems clearer, less muffled (IMHO)...maybe there was a cass. gen. in the other lineage...I know at least 2 Deadhaeds that got this on Cass. shortly after i recieved my DAT and offered me a dub to CDR...

preserve and share!
PEACE!

Bill Evans Trio
Eastman Theatre
Eastman School of Music
Rochester, NY
Autumn 1977

Bill Evans, piano
Chuck Israels, bass
Eliot Zigmund, drums

Source: FM Radio broadcast > ? > CD-R trade > EAC (WAV) > Cool Edit Pro (See details below) > TLH (FLAC - Level 8)

Goody's notes:
Track 04 edited to remove redundant duplication of 2 beats of music.
Pitch was approximately 1 semitone flat throughout.
R Channel Amplified by 155%
Other small edits and fades applied for a smoother listening experience...

Notes from Bill Evans biography (How My Heart Sings, by Peter Pettinger):

"Eddie Gomez had made his last recording with Evans, but he continued to play in the trio for a few more months.  In autumn 1977 a date at the Eastman School of Music at Rochester, New York, was scheduled.  But (Eddie) Gomez had a recording session fixed in California and was unable to play.  Evans asked his former bassist Chuck Israels to fill in and, confident that the problem was solved, discussed repertoire with him on the flight from New York City.  Although it had been more than ten years since they had played together in a trio, it was easy to plan a program of items largely familiar to Israels.  'Summertime' was revived, with its catchy bass riff intact from How My Heart Sings, as was Bernstein's 'Some Other Time.'  Evans began the vening by telling the campus audience at the Eastman Theatre that the program would be unannounced, but then got into the swing of introducing each tune, taking care to credit each one with its composer.  In a route that would have confounded those critics who complained that he never spoke, he chattily introduced 'Some Other Time' as 'one of the three best songs which they left out of the movie' of On The Town.  From the beginning he had been eager to praise Israels for his 'true improvisation' in stepping in.  In a number of fine solos, the bass player's grainy sound was unmistakable, as were his song lines.  This was one of Eliot Zigmund's last appearances with the trio, and all of a suddent the pianist was without a group."

01. <Radio / Evans Intro> - 0:47
02. Emily (Evans) - 6:56

Notes:

- d1t08 is incomplete.

- The sound is a little muffled and distant, with some light static. Still listenable.
Pretty good considering the origin was a TV broadcast from 58 years ago. d1t08 was
definetely the cake taker in this performance.

- This is a very interesting recording, a real good example of the period, splitting
at the seams with short cameo's from some real legends.

- I believe the TLH reading below shows lossy due to the fact that this was an early
television broadcast and the wave lengths are severly limited. I don't believe that MP3's
were a factor.

- "Recorded for the WCBS-TV show Adventures in Jazz. Davis plays only on the "Big Foot"
jam, a bop-vs.-Dixieland duel with Kaminsky. His range is impressive here, just as it
is on the recordings a couple months later from the Paris Festival International de Jazz.

original NOTES: 
--TRACKS included (I hope that I did identify correctly) are:
--------Soul Sacrifice/A Love Supreme/Aranjuez - Somewhere In Heaven - Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen - Oye Como Va - Samba Pa Ti - Jingo/Band Introduction 
--This is a rare find and a very sweet show! It is a Audio Version of the pro-shot Brazilian TV broadcast "Rock In Rio II". It seems to be the complete set. 
--ENJOY!! 

alien156 NOTES (from 2023 dime thread): 
--Lovely recording, but it has been misdated. 
--As per Santanamigos, Santana played two dates at RiR 1991, both were partly aired by Globo. (more info on the site).
--Judging by a quick listen this is not the recording from the 19th but from the 24th, with Pat Metheny on "Peace On Earth". 
--Edit: just read that the date on the 24th for Santana was added fairly last minute because Robert Plant got sick and Santana filled the open spot. So, the date confusion was to be expected since Santana was only supposed to play the 19th. 

vanillag NOTES (1/8/2023): 
--Great Thanks & spiritual blessings to whomever originally captured & transferred this Santana 1991 TV broadcast & to dime user kobamemory for recently sharing it again with us all...mucho appreciated!! 
--also BIG thanks to alien156 for his detective work in uncovering the actual to keep the info correct moving forward
--t10 fades out because I assume the CD ran out of space & the tune picks up on the 2nd CD.  Thankfully, there is about a minute of overlap on t11, so one can seamlessly join these back together if one wants to.  I may do just that one day along with giving this entire beauty a remaster (such as notch removal on the TV noise & making the whole thing sweeter, etc.)...but not today
--from santanamigos:  Broadcast live on Brazilian TV Globo.   
--https://santanamigos.pagesperso-orange.fr/19910119.htm
--"Rock In Rio" is one of the largest music festivals in the world, with 1.5 million people attending the first event, 700,000 attending the second and fourth, about 1.2 million attending the third, and about 350,000 people attending each of the three Lisbon events. 
--"Rock In Rio II" was held from January 18–27, 1991 at the Maracanã stadium. Headliners were Guns N'Roses, Prince and George Michael, each being top billed for two of the event's nine nights. INXS, New Kids On the Block and A-ha also had top billing, for one night each. Guns N'Roses took more than 100.000 people to the stadium on their Sunday performance, while A-ha took no less than 198.000 people. 
--On January 24, 1991, Santana was replacing Robert Plant who had a severe case of the flu. 
--lineup at "Rock In Rio II" on 1991-01-24 (from start to finish):  Serguei;  Alceu Valença;  Laura Finocchiaro;  Santana;  Prince 
--I corrected some info in the band members info & added more detail to it. 
--For Santana #43, Armando Peraza is replaced by Raul Rekow. 
--added detail to the venue info 
--added some detail to the setlist
--corrected some song titles toward how they appear on the original albums
--renamed the 3 tracks in the 'Disc 2' folder so the FLACs would have a continuous flow
--created a new ffp checksum file
--I created an md5 checksum file 
--added the ffp fingerprints to the text file
--added some pics from the festival, ticket, poster, schedule linups, t-shirt, et al

vanillag NOTES (1/12/2023): 
--BIG UP & much thanks to whomever originally recorded this 1987 Steel Pulse show.  Also much Jah Love to Jeremiah's friend for rescuing these tapes from the thrift store, Jeremiah for sending them to dubwise &, of course, dubwise for transferring & sharing them with us all.  Absolutely Appreciated & sounds surprisingly tasty for a 1987 AUD recording...rowdy, fiyahed up crowd at times, but still!! 
--Not sure if there was an encore on this night, but it is certainly not here (maybe on a different tape??)
--I added the band members info
--not 100% sure that Melvin Brown was there with them on lead guitar at this show...he is listed on their wikipedia page as being their lead guitarist from 1982-1989, David Hinds does not intro him in t19
--researched heavily & created a setlist
--the name of the tour is announced in t01, but I can't quite make out the whole thing:  "Steel Pulse Marcus Garvey '(can't make out this word)' Tour".  If anyone knows the name of this tour, please let us all know. 
--t19 ("Jam") is possibly one of their songs, but I cannot identify this one...they just do some lyrics here & there in between introducing the band members, but the only bit I could make out was a "white horse" rap section...they do more snippets of tunes, though.  If anyone knows the names of any more of these snippets, please let us all know 
--added more detail to the venue info
--This venue no longer exists...it opened on 1972-06-28 & was originally known as "Universal Amphitheatre" (from 1972-2005) & then "Gibson Amphitheatre" (from 2005-2013).  The amphitheater closed on September 6, 2013 and was demolished for "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Notes: This show came to me in a random trade claiming to be the lost
Jazz Odyssey sets from 7/30/88. The setlist didn't match, and it sat
unlabeled as "Phish - 1986???" for a while, until the text file for
the other two sets popped up with Kevin Shapiro's notes, and it was
properly identified as the first set to 12/6/86.
I have no idea what gen the cassette was.
All I did with Audacity was boosted the levels a little bit.
This has not circulated on disc before, and it almost completes
Kevin's setlist when combined with what already circulates.
Any questions, feel free to email me at taperwayne@yahoo.com
Enjoy!

* Trey's dad singing and playing ukelele - possibly solo - may have been soundcheck or the very tail end of an opening set
** performed three times, first as Anarchy, second as "Nazi Trustes" and last as "Killer African Bees"


Notes: If you are a fan of sound quality, you may want to pass this one over - there is a fair amount of tape hiss and it's taken from an analog of
unknown generations. And it's 1986.
That said if you a phan of history, you'll want to stay tuned.
This has not circulated in a lossless format before, and it's the best copy I could locate. Consider it a gap filler until an upgrade surfaces.
First off, it's the final circulating gig with Jeff Holdsworth, and one of very few examples of Phish as a 5 man band.
Earth Day at UVM. The gig was likely performed outdoors.
Trey's dad opens the show playing and singing, possibly just a soundcheck, or possibly the tail end of an opening set.
There was deck pausing done between almost all of the songs - but the jams seem to be intact. I notated the tape cuts.
The jam at the end of Alumni had an abrupt cut - so I opted for a fade out.

The Green Dolphin Street Demo is a post Bivouac Juan, pre White Tape demo that included some of the same material as the Bivouac Tape.
It came labeled to me exactly as that: Green Dolphin Street Demo 1985.
A few of these songs are earlier mixes of material that ended up on The White Tape.
Since it's precise origin is unknown - I hope nobody objects - expecially since the sound quality is by far inferior to the released version of the
White Tape and there are subtle variations.
It was likely a mix of material recorded on 4-track in NJ with Bivouac and in Burlington VT in 1985.
Any questions regarding this material - feel free to drop a line to me at taperwayne@gmail.com
Enjoy!

Thank you, Nick. I did. The human ear can tolerate that decibel level safely if the exposure is short duration. This is my source of that track:

https://aircraftrecords.com/products/supersonics-just-jets

There is a hidden benefit so the speak when playing at this decibel level, which is that if something in the room (listening environment) is going to resonate, it will. If a resonance sound is heard, corrective action can be taken.

Interestingly, there is another thread on this forum here https://www.audionervosa.com/index.php?topic=9023.msg110463#msg110463 where I stated " I also had a bad experience of my own". It was by virtue of using this track that I discovered spikes are no good.

Welcome to Volume 45 of our master series featuring the master recordings of dime member "tapetyrant". The series will predominately feature captures in the Northeast and Southern California areas. We will touch on multiple genres with a strong focus on Jazz Fusion, New Wave and Rock.

Tapetyrant was an active taper in the 1980's and much of the 1990's before, like many of us, hanging up the mics. What he captured during that time is uniformly excellent quality and his master tapes have been safely stored, the first batch are in pristine condition. Some shows may circulate from lower generation copies but most have remained uncirculated until now and have never circulated directly from the masters.

Prior to DAT, the heavy lifting was entirely done by a Sony D5 with NAK 300's and taping was serious business, acquiring the best seats possible and working to keep neighbors in check.

We once again find TapeTyrant plying his craft in one of his favorite venues to tape, Pier 84 with another excellent Joan Armatrading capture.

This is our 3rd Joan Armatrading release and another stellar performance supporting her 1986 release "Sleight Of Hand".

Thanks as always to Goody for the invaluable pitch guidance.

Continued thanks to "tapetyrant" for doing such a great job capturing these important shows, for reaching out and entrusting me to present his excellent work for all to enjoy for decades to come. We are indebted to his generosity (tapers don't let those tapes and your hard work get lost to the ages, there are plenty of folks to get in touch with here to help get them out, we're all working to leave no tape behind).

Artwork and samples included.

NHK Studio 505 “Session 505”
Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan

Lineage:
Taper: Tim McKenzie
NHK (82.5 FM) stereo broadcast> Pioneer F-P700 tuner> Sony PCM-M1 DAT master (Maxell DM-120 DAT @44.1ks, Sony PCM-M1 playback)> Oade digi I/O> Hosa DRA-501 cable> Tascam CD-RW750 CDRx1 (Taiyo Yuden)> xACT> WAV files.

01. Radio intro
02. C Jam Blues
03. Program intro by Moko Ogawa
04. Song for Amos
05. Shed
06. Luiza
07. De perdidos al río
08. Homeland
09. Faith
10. Program outro

Omar Avital, bass
Aaron Goldberg, piano
Marc Miralta, drums

Note: Broadcast date was 2005-11-06.  Additional notes related to Japanese content

1) The program format of “Session 505” usually began with the featured artist playing their own interpretation of Duke Ellington’s composition, “C Jam Blues.” Session 505 ran for 494 broadcasts from 1999-03-13 to 2010-03-28 with Moko Ogawa as the program announcer.

2) After C Jam Blues, program announcer Moko Ogawa introduced the OAM Trio who were making their first trip to Japan. The trio members hail from America, Spain and Israel, and formed OAM in 1998 after meeting in New York City. Aaron Goldberg from Boston, studied at The New School in New York, and after graduating from Harvard University in 1996, began jazz in earnest, playing with Joshua Redman, Wynton Marsalis and others. Bassist Omar Avital came to New York from Israel and has played with many such as Roy Haynes, Kenny Garrett, and Joshua Redman. From 1995, he formed his own group, as well as composing original music. Drummer Marc Miralta came to New York from Barcelona, and after study at the Berklee College of Music, has played with many such as Pat Metheny, Gary Burton, and Art Farmer. The trio name “OAM” is made up of the first letter of the band members’ first names. Ogawa stated that this trio, though each member is a co-leader, results in a tight unity and unique sound blending the essence of North America, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean.

3) Track ten contains a recap of the song titles performed; Ogawa’s impression of the rehearsal and daily practice that gives unity to the band; and closes with the upcoming schedule of performances and how to apply for tickets.

Enjoy!

A complete previously unissued 1966 concert by the Dave Brubeck Quartet,
recorded in London.

The material for the show consisted of versions of classic songs like
“Take Five”, as well as tunes rarely recorded by the quartet, such
as “Out of Nowhere” and the group’s only existing live recording
of Dave Brubeck’s own composition, “Softly, William, Softly”.

Lineage:
Multiple IEM receivers > Multitrack Recorder(s) @ 24bit 44.1khz
Recorded & mixed by hoserama
Dithered using Izotope MBIT+
Flac'ed using Trader's Little Helper
Mix version 20221102
-----------------------------------------------
Hoserama Show Notes: 
--Nice fun high energy show by the B-52s.
--Lots of fun costumes in the crowd and band since Halloween is the next day.
--Final show of a three show stand for the B-52s in SF for their "farewell tour" (I never quite believe those proclamations, but could be true).

Hoserama Recording Notes: 
--As I figured, no soundcheck for an aging band during a three night stand. So I knew I had eight feeds to deal with, but didn't have any clue which was what.  Knowing the B-52s lineup, I figured missing a key feed would sink the whole mix. Imagine doing a mix but you're missing one of the female vocalists...just no thanks. So decided to go big and recorded all eight feeds. Had a friend also backing me up on a few feeds, but they all turned out well. Ended up using six out of the eight feeds, but worked out well. Drummer appeared to be hard-wired, but plenty of drums in other feeds. Only the lead guitarist had click and counts, which was pretty easy to strip out.
--Only thing missing is an audience recording, which would have been awful in my location due to lots of people dancing and screaming in the hallway behind me.
--If anybody knows of a half-way decent audience recording of this show, let me know and I'll integrate it into the mix.

Hoserama General Notes: 
--As always, encouraging people to get into taping and mixing. Just take the craft seriously and it will reward you many times over. There's no point in complaining about missing recordings or subpar quality if you're not contributing--pushing 1's and 0's around on the internet is no comparison for taping.
--IEM recordings are not for everyone. If not they're not your thing, either sonically or ethically, well at least you didn't spend any money on this.
--Similarly, I'm mixing primarily for my ears. This is what sounds best to me. This may not sound best to you. That's a fair statement. I'm open to honest criticism (although you should have caught me when I was working on the mix!), but pointless complaining is unappreciated (naturally). Let's play nice.
--Please don't sell this recording in any way - no cash for blanks, 2:1s, or any other form of "getting paid for your time". Just share it freely.
--Please don't convert to mp3, then back to wave, and then trade it around. This stuff is too easy to find on torrents now.
--Feel free to remaster/remix this recording. Just keep it to your own computer and iPod.
--Also, please don't torrent or share on other sites without at least dropping me a line and asking. I may want to just torrent/share it there myself. This means you, guitar101!
--Please ask (and wait for permission!) before putting it into any matrix + video production. If you ask nicely for a quality high-res video project, I will likely say “yes”. If you put it on YouTube or cell phone video production without asking, I will send my cats from hell to chew your computer cables.
--Enjoy y'all! 
- Hoserama/Sharebear 

vanillag NOTES (1/10/2023): 
--HUGE thanks to Hoserama/Sharebear/senecastj for all the detailed work & blood sweat & tears put into recording this 2022 the B-52's show & mixing it up so tastily for us all to enjoy!!  Much respect & Absolutely Appreciated!! 
--original text file from Hoserama/Sharebear/senecastj is still included as 'original.info'...the info you see above with added info is included as a separate text file named 'updatedinfo' 
--Doors: 7:00pm;  Show: 9:30pm-11:00pm
--the Tubes opened the show & spinning the party before & after each band was DJ Cummerbund
--the SF Masonic Auditorium (as it's now entitled) was originally known as 'Grand Masonic Auditorium' (from 1958-1995) & then 'Nob Hill Masonic Auditorium' (from 1995-2014)
--https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SF_Masonic_Auditorium
--Regarding the stylizing of the name of the band (with or without the apostrophe), it is correct either way...but I have discovered that the band listed & presented themselves on every album up to 2008 as "the B-52's" & then as "the B-52s" only for their most recent studio album (from 2008) & a live record from 2011.  That means most of the catalog uses the apostrophe so that's what I'm sticking with...Hoserama obviously prefers without the apostrophe &, like I said, that is correct as well, since the band probably shifted to that stylizing of the name circa 2008, but they still went on to release 2 live records from their history (in 2015 & 2018) & those are listed with the apostrophe again.  In the end, none of this REALLY matters, but I like to know these things, ya feel me?? 
--I added the band members info
--corrected some song titles toward how they appear on the original albums
--added more detail to the venue info
--added the ffp fingerprints to the text file

-----------------------------------------------
Hoserama Show Notes: 
--Not my usual cup of tea, but JL made a good effort to talk me into to coming out for this one. Sounded like a pretty standard representation of a Morrissey show without any tantrums or messes (unlike Hollywood the week prior). Sounded good vocally, kept to the music with very little talking to the crowd.
--Funny thing at soundcheck. Big tour bus pulls in about 4:20pm, and the band starts soundchecking shortly afterwards. Then another bus pulls in about 5:30pm, and Morrissey sings about 2 songs with the band then splits. Band continues until almost 6:30pm. I wonder how much interaction Morrissey has with the band outside of being onstage.

Hoserama Recording Notes: 
--Interesting assortment of IEM feeds. It appears one of the guitarist isn't on ears, and of course Morrissey isn't either. I was able to do some spatial extractions and isolated the missing guitarist pretty nicely. Then the vocals are pulled from multiple feeds using the new spiffy AI-stem extractors. Sometimes there will be some artifacts, and just won't be as clean as a upfront vocals feed. But overall, came together pretty well. JL's schoeps source filled out the mix nicely since the IEM feeds have little-no audience noise. 

Hoserama General Notes: 
--As always, encouraging people to get into taping and mixing. Just take the craft seriously and it will reward you many times over. There's no point in complaining about missing recordings or subpar quality if you're not contributing--pushing 1's and 0's around on the internet is no comparison for taping.

This was recently shared by ademotte on June 6th 2016 and it has a real nice sound.--thanks--

Even though it sounded good there were distractions.
So many technical issues that needed to be addressed.
Loud static bursts in places, distortion, plenty of pops and thumps, numerous short gaps and the volume was so low it was hard to hear.

Decided to fix these problems so spent the day with headphones on.....

****************
If you want to know the details I kept a list of the modifications:

volume increased by 10dB - all tracks
[individual repairs noted in brackets below]

Disc 1
01. Carry On [volume drops corrected]
02. Military Madness [2 gaps removed]
03. Goin' Home [removed occasional distortion in left channel-where needed, gap removed]
04. Wooden Ships [removed occasional distortion in left channel-where needed, 4 gaps repaired]
05. Feed The People [remove gap]
06. You're My Girl [remove gap, 5 loud pops removed]
07. I Used To Be A King [series of thumps removed, gap removed, distorted spots fixed] [song cuts off needs some repair here]

08. Southern Man [remove gaps, 15.732 KHz tone removed clicks removed]
09. Southern Cross [15.732 KHz tone removed, gap removed]
10. Almost Cut My Hair [15.732 KHz tone removed, gap removed]
11. Cinnamon Girl [15.732 KHz tone removed, 2 gaps removed] 

Disc 2
01. Helplessly Hoping [15.732 KHz tone removed, thumps removed, series of dropouts fixed]
-----end of set break-------

02. Our House [15.732 KHz tone removed, gap removed, series of thumps removed, ticks removed, scraping sound reduced, gap removed]
03. Old Man [15.732 KHz tone removed, gap removed, thump removed, clicks removed]
04. Guinnevere [15.732 KHz tone removed, gap removed, thumps removed]
05. The Lee Shore [15.732 KHz tone removed, gap removed, tick removed, gap repaired, gap repaired, loud scraping noise reduced] [bad end needs fixing]


06. Harvest Moon [15.732 KHz tone removed, gap removed, second gap removed, removed distortion in left channel-where needed, remove 2 clicks, repair 2 damaged sections]
07. Old Man Trouble [15.732 KHz tone removed, remove thumps, gap removed, thump removed, 3 clicks removed]
08. Cathedral [15.732 KHz and an 11.25 KHz tones removed, break up patched over, 4 clicks removed, remove gap]
09. Suite: Judy Blue Eyes [15.732 KHz tone removed, remove thumps, remove gap, multiple ticks removed]
10. 7th Inning Stretch (fades) [15.732 KHz tone removed, remove thumps, remove gap]
 
Disc 3
01-Let's Roll [15.732 KHz tone removed, remove gap, multiple breakup removed-patched over, thumps removed, gap removed]
02-Long Time Gone [15.732 KHz tone removed, multiple places of severe breakup repaired]
03-04-Two Old Friends* 03. [15.732 KHz tone removed, gap removed] 04. [thumps removed, crackling removed, loud pop removed, gap repaired, repeated section removed]
05-Woodstock [15.732 KHz tone removed, gap removed, clicks removed, gap removed, thumps removed]
06-Rockin' In The Free World w/ Star Spangled Banner ending [15.732 KHz tone removed, crackling removed, 2 more gaps removed, click removed, crackling removed, click removed, 
07-encore break with band introduction [15.732 KHz tone removed, a couple volume drops in the applause removed, a couple thumps removed]
08-Long May You Run [15.732 KHz tone removed, gap removed, crackling removed, remove crackling, remove pop, remove thump] 
*-not sure why the tracking is like this---[it had an overlap and it's not like that anymore]

continued repair details:
all tracks combined with additional gaps and glitches removed between tracks at that time
Harmonic balancing - equalization
Stray peaks reduced and volume increased by an additional 3dB (for a total of 13dB)
60 Hz tone removed
broadband eq touch up
Final glitch repairs removed another hundred or so noises missed the first time around but certainly some may have escaped my attention.

Remaining issues:
The applause sections seemed processed so there was likely some noise reduction performed at some point.
A low level electrical noise is still in the background and I was unable to figure out how to remove it.
Not bad but it is there.
****************

Easier to listen to without so many distractions and at this higher volume level.
It's not perfect but it's a lot better.

Thanks to the original taper and to jagraham for sharing this nice capture in July 2006.
Also to ademotte for posting his version at the Dime recently.

Geetarz Comments:

Some things do get better with age, and the 2000 "CSNY2K" tour was a personal favorite.  This, to me, is the cream of the crop, and one of my personal all-time favorite "Desert Island" discs.

The 2000 tour featured new takes on old classics, and somehow bridged the ages, bringing old and new into a harmonious, rocking whole. 

The first years of the 21st Century were also a "golden age" of ALD recordings, before their alternate uses became more widely known and many venues shut the technology down.  There are quite a number of ALDs from the CSNY2K tour - some of which, sadly, are still in the clutches of hoarders.  This one, luckily, saw the light of day.

ALD recordings of course have their technical limitations, including reduced dynamic range, lack of bass, and attenuated high end.  Luckily the Professor at 3BR was able to work his sonic magic on this recording, and really bring it to life.

If you're into vocal harmonies, loud crunchy guitar, and close-miked soundboards - this is sonic heaven.

Beyond recommended ... ESSENTIAL!

Lineage:

ALD > DAT > 3BR > 3BR Master > EAC v. 0.99 Prebeta 5 (Secure, Offset Correct) > FLAC

I received this show in FLAC.... I can only assume that it stems from this copy, however, the db does not have any entries for FFP, and the show did not come with a text file.  I added the md5's for reference.  This show has been archived by blue7.org on 6-5-05

Notes and Fixes using SF4.5:
-Tape flip between t7 and t8
-The original tracks were noticeably flat and slow. To compensate for
  the faulty analog generations/transfers, I increased the pitch by 190 cents
  (almost one step) along with anti-alias filtering to decrease
  distortion during software resampling.
-Applied a paragraphic EQ hiss filter to reduce hiss above 8 kHz by 20 dB.
-Normalized disc to 98%.
-Retracked disc so that each song begins at the start of the track.
-As with all shows I've done, I may have missed some things (ie, pops, clicks, etc).
  If so, please let me know so that I can fix them up asap.

Leonard Cohen's last performance before a 15 year break.  He left the public eye and moved to the Mount Baldy Zen Center near Los Angeles where he was ordained as a Zen Buddhist Monk in 1996, spending 5 years in seclusion.  Cohen eventually returned to the stage in 2008. 

Kevin recorded this historic concert amongst a very respectful audience.  However, he did not time any of the tape flips and simply let each side run out, so there are a few cuts.  There is a change in sound during the first song, very likely caused by moving the bias setting and/or Dolby switches on the recorder.  It sounds like the recording starts off with both switches in the upper position (Normal Type I + Dolby C) and suddenly they are moved to Kevin's usual settings (Chrome Type II + Dolby off). 


The Kevin Davie Memorial Series

This series is in memory of Kevin Davie who died suddenly 31 March 2016. Kevin was an avid taper & recorded many concerts mainly in Vancouver, Victoria & Toronto. All these recordings have been sourced directly from Kevin’s master cassettes. With thanks to Mary Davie, Kevin’s Mother for allowing us access to all of Kevin’s masters. This is a joint venture between DGB, Dennis Orr, Seth Meister, Leif H & John MacMillan. Kevin was a dear friend of mine & helped me greatly when I first moved to Canada in June 1994 for which I will forever be grateful. He had a great sense of humour. He was always happy to remind me of Ray Cooper’s percussion solo that I had to endure at the end of all the Eric Clapton shows I went to in the 90s (there were many!). He did an excellent job in impersonating Mr. Cooper! Kevin had a great taste in music & shared my love of the blues. We hope that you enjoy these releases & that we can continue Kevin’s legacy for many years to come. You left this world way too soon. Rest in peace my friend.

DGB


Kevin and I had plans to post some of his shows himself. After downloading and seeding torrents for a while, he needed the ratio boost! haha. He had taped and traded for years through the mail, but hadn't gone digital with his own collection yet. We had begun to work on some of his shows and had plans to do more, when we had a bit of a dust up over something silly. Sadly, we never had the chance to mend fences together before he passed. He was a good friend and I miss him a lot. Hopefully, through this series of shows, Kevin's memory can be properly honoured and that he can continue to leave a lasting legacy with the recordings that he left behind. I also hope that when I go beyond this world that my master cassette collection that I haven't gotten to will find a similar new home with trader's and collectors and fans everywhere, too...

A real nice show, but some of the track transitions were a bit rough, so I
smoothed them out, cleaned up a pop here and there, aligned to sector boundaries,
and converted to FLAC. Nothing else was done to the files. Enjoy!

mjk5510 NOTES: 
--Known Faults:  Missing first part of the show (~25 minutes);  "Heartbreak Beat" - joined in progress;  "President Gas" - start slightly cut
--Welcome to Volume 42 of our master series featuring the master recordings of dime member "tapetyrant". The series will predominately feature captures in the Northeast and Southern California areas. We will touch on multiple genres with a strong focus on Jazz Fusion, New Wave and Rock.
--Tapetyrant was an active taper in the 1980's and much of the 1990's before, like many of us, hanging up the mics. What he captured during that time is uniformly excellent quality and his master tapes have been safely stored, the first batch are in pristine condition. Some shows may circulate from lower generation copies but most have remained uncirculated until now and have never circulated directly from the masters.
--Prior to DAT, the heavy lifting was entirely done by a Sony D5 with NAK 300's and taping was serious business, acquiring the best seats possible and working to keep neighbors in check.
--Our second Psychedelic Furs show of the series at one of TapeTyrant's favorite taping venues, TapeTyrant rarely makes even an average tape at this venue and this is no exception however, probably being a bit too mentally prepared for the show resulted in missing the first 5 or 6 songs as the taper's old nemesis, the pause button, was mistakenly engaged. 
--After this error in button management is corrected we get an excellent capture of the last hour of the show.
--Thanks as always to Goody for invaluable pitch guidance.
--Continued thanks to "tapetyrant" for doing such a great job capturing these important shows, for reaching out and entrusting me to present his excellent work for all to enjoy for decades to come. We are indebted to his generosity (tapers don't let those tapes and your hard work get lost to the ages, there are plenty of folks to get in touch with here to help get them out, we're all working to leave no tape behind). 
--Artwork and samples included.

vanillag NOTES (1/14/2023): 
--Super BIG Thanks to TapeTyrant for recording & sharing this the Psychedelic Furs 1986 show & to mjk5510 for the transfer & share & to goody for his part in the pitch process.  Absolutely appreciated & sounds super nice!! 
--According to mjk5510, probably these six songs were missed:  Heartbeat;  Here Come Cowboys;  Alice's House;  Shadow In My Heart;  Highwire Days;  Heaven 
--"Heartbreak Beat" is only missing a tad in the very beginning & is joined well before the first lyrics are sung
--"President Gas" is also only missing a tad in the very beginning & is joined well before the first lyrics are sung
--not sure if there was no encores played or if there is a very clever splice after "President Gas" (because on other setlists for this tour, the encores started with "Pretty In Pink")
--Pier 84 is on 12th Avenue & 44th Street. From 1981 until 1988, it served as a concert venue from the former Schaefer Music Festival. Headline acts such as the Clash, Frank Zappa, King Crimson, and Hot Tuna performed on the pier. Opened under Hudson River Park in 2006, it is the largest public pier in the park.  The pier also houses a water-themed playground, part of Hudson River Park.  In addition, Pier 84 is a stop for New York Water Taxi & has a bicycle rental shop and other businesses serving primarily tourists. 
--https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_River_Park#:~:text=Pier%2084%20is%20on%2012th,public%20pier%20in%20the%20park.
--In 1977, Dr.Pepper assumed sponsorship of the "Schaefer Music Festival in Central Park" concert series, renamed the "Dr.Pepper Central Park Music Festival". Due to residential noise complaints, this series was moved to Pier 84 on the West Side in 1981. The festival name was changed to "Dr.Pepper Music Festival" after the move away from Central Park in 1981. In 1983 Miller Brewing Company took over sponsorship with the name "Miller Time Concerts On the Pier" until 1988. In 1989 Reebok took over sponsorship of the concert series at Pier 84, renamed "Reebok Riverstage", which lasted through 1990.

strange thing cuts off on this recording, but i believe it continues at the beginning
of the cal expo show...   you can faintly hear black and blue underneath the end
of strange thing, which would happen if it were taped over the beginning of the cal
expo show...   what happens is the tape deck's erase head doesn't fully erase
what was on the tape as it recorded over it...

i think that they were using side b of the cal expo tape to record shoreline, and
when the tape ran out at shoreline they flipped the tape, recording over the
beginning of cal expo...

i have included the ending of strange thing in this file set...

Maui's own Hutch Hutchinson (Bonnie Raitt's band and others) joined the Paul & Fred Acoustic Duo for a good portion of this show.

Recording Notes: These are the original files that were seeded elsewhere back in 2010. However, for this recording, nearby clapping as well as some audience noise has been attenuated. In addition, Paul & Fred's banter between several songs was very low in volume both at the show and in the 2010 seed. Clip Gain was used to boost the between song discussions in an unobtrusive manner.

As usual, take it if you need it, if not just pass it on.

TEDDY SAYS:

this was the first theater I recorded a show in in 1979 when one of my GD mentors was kind enough and trusting enough to loan me recording gear.
it was also a place where I would pick a show to test new mic rigs in the 80s.
since I was in town for the holidays, this show was on my radar. when I checked the services I could see that it was not really selling well. I did bring a stealth rig and a full rig on this trip. I mention this because there was quite the thread on a few of the facebook taper groups that I am member of, on whether these guys would allow open taping,
anyway, a friend with a local/regional sound company was asked to deliver some Meyer monitors the morning of the show. a few hours later, he told me he wouldn't be able to make the show but that the band and crew had offered some tickets. super stoked to be included but after long day of remote work several counties away, I had to swing back to the pad I was
staying at and grab my rig. I realized that it was going to be close timewise. nothing like taper stress to begin with and certainly ratcheted up with the prospect of being late. I got to the venue at 5 of 8 for an 8 PM show and proceeded to will call. Lo and behold, no tickets for teddy...the venue were super sweet and negotiated the tickets w/o a huge hassle or me having to wait for the TM. it was at this point that the box office person turned the computer screen toward me and asked, "where would you like to sit?" contrary to earlier looks at the ticket services, this show had had a very healthy walkup business . I saw two in the 14th row on the aisle and debated. this was a town I grew up in. not a ton of shows play here and it might be good to have a buffer on each side to stave off whistlers, talkers and drunks. but first and foreost I am a taper and I saw a nice row e single (in this case 9th row)
so i pointed to that one. the woman reminded me I had two on the guest list and I mentioned something about the people I had asked not wanting to attend.
it was going to be a crapshoot to rush in, connect the cables and pray that the people on either side of me
were music fans before they were booze fans.I realized at this late hour there was no turning back and I was already rigged up...so I had to hope that either the metal detectors were not set super sensitively OR that taping was allowed and the crew had advanced that to the venue staff. It was the former,  and I barged through the detector and it made not a peep. when I got in got in and
race to my seat. I had no time to stop and say hello to the dudes that were setup next to the board. this though made me realize that
the debate was settled, open taping allowed. I found out after they did not advance it very well
and the staff were baffled about the gear on the way in. all's well that ends well. I didn't have a stand with but I have to assume it wouldn't been ideal
(at least for the venue or other patrons) to hoist it 9th row center...i did have a clamp but time was tight and not to be a snob but the board was well under the balcony
AND i had this stellar seat...upfront stealth it was...
 this theater is an old Shriner's temple that used to be called the Rajah Theater.
i mention this because its an old ass theater and the seats are built before everyone was overweight (see also the Colonial in Phoenixville, PA)
I did something I rarely ever do and told the dude to my left what I was doing or at least, what I planned to do. he responded affirmatively; i asked him politely to please not talk to me during the show.
i had not done my homework on this gig. It was so much more than devon allman project or even allman betts...yes, it was a tribute band deal but it wasn't phoned in or corny.
the vibe was allman brothers meets the traveling roadshow big band vibe that Tedeschi Trucks brings. they did obvious things but also with the guests there were "deep cuts"
and even a solo song (Gregg)...i see now that the sets are the same but wonder if the guest artists rotating in and out had any say in what songs they augmented.
I loved the show and called my buddy who works for GoldenVoice in SF to urge him to book this in the Regency Ballroom there. it if sells well they can always move it to
the warfield.

anyway, hope this is a nice addition to the others that were done on this leg of the tour and I will def check this band out again when they come to California

Changes Made (Nero 7):
Auto hum reduction (50Hz)
Cross-mixed channels (99:1 ratio)
Merged and cross-faded the duplicated end of tr01 and beginning of tr02
Noise print NR, low setting so less remains but sound quality is improved
Corrected a few stereo balance swings
Reduced track01 applause volume level to match track02
Fixed nasty large digi-glitches on track01b ~6.48
Re-tracked to separate out individual numbers and avoid SBEs

Journey - 06/09/79
Capitol Theater - Passaic, NJ

This is Journey from a syndicated radio program called Studio Jam. Even though it says Studio Jam, it is a live recording from a venue ( usually Chicago where the show was based out of ). I transferred the reel to reel straight to cdr. The lineage would look like this:
PRE-FM Reel>CDRW>WAV>CDWAV>mastercdr>wav>FLAC
The reel is a 10" 7.5 iPS 1/2 track tape. It was transferred on a Tascam BR-20T to a Sony CDR-W33 stand alone professional cd recorder. Transferred to wav and spit via cdwav.
This has a short interview at the end...and promo beds.

Source: 2nd generation soundboard tape
Sound Quality: Let the samples be your guide.

Notes from original upload:
--Tracks were recorded live with a very small Horn-Loaded single 4-way PA and only about 30 people in the room.
--Still a great gig, though.
--It's all straight off the mixing desk. A 24 into 4 into 2 channel StudioMaster® Mixer to a multi-track Teac A3340s 4 track reel-to-reel deck.
--It was then very roughly remixed to cassette.
--This is s 2nd generation copy of that tape. 
--Digitized on a MacBook Pro to FLAC using Amadeus Pro in 24-bit 44.1kHz.
--Cassette deck is unknown but not a very good one.
--This was 1980, and Men At Work were not quite famous yet and therefore we all were very poor. 
--Unless someone gives me another A3340s so I can re-do this, sadly that recording will never see the light of day.
--Even though it's not the best quality, lay back and listen and enjoy it for what it is.
--In dearest memory of Gregory Norman "Greg" Ham (27 September 1953 – 19 April 2012)

#8928190 by HeavyDude at 2022-11-14 19:08:24 GMT
There is an instrumental track before "Touching the Untouchables" which I've been reliably informed is called "Cab Driver". 

#8929186 by bobbysdad at 2022-11-16 15:43:40 GMT
I've sent this note to the uploader, but thought maybe I should post it here as well....
Hi, 
I'm so sorry to say this, and you're really going to hate me for it, but this has been split incorrectly.
I know, it's totally my fault, as I was the one who had upped this a couple of weeks back but in a single track state.
It got banned, but I couldn't re-do it correctly at the time due to problems I was having with my Mac. 
Tracks 03 and 04 are actually one track, "Touching the Untouchables."
This was the original version being heavily instrumental for the first half.
Someone has commented that this first part was called "Cab Driver". Never heard of it. LOL.... [sorry]
Track 05 then becomes track 04. The track listing is as below. Only 8 tracks.
01. Underground [fades in]
02. Catch A Star
03. Touching The Untouchables
04. Helpless Automaton
05. F19
06. Shintaro
07. Fitzroy Street
08. Mr. Entertainer

Again, I am so so sorry.....
I was going to re-up it again, but just waiting on a new Mac which I'll have in a couple of weeks.
Thank you so much for taking the time to do what I couldn't. 

#8940160 by th1ngbee at 2022-12-09 22:41:48 GMT
Very enjoyable early recording, looser and slower than what the world would hear a year later.  The Aussie in our house says she hears the riff of the unreleased "Fitzroy Street" developing into something on Cargo, but I can't place it.  Thanks for restoring this session and for distributing it -- cheers!  (I think she means "No Sign Of Yesterday" which is indeed similar--vanillag)

02. Brain Damage  (3:24)
03. Us And Them   (5:26)


Notes:
This RARE release is possibly from June 2 or June 3 sessions, done on a 16 track
recorder. From the back cover:

3 ULTRA RARE ALTERNATIVE VERSIONS OF ...

TIME - no solo lead guitar after "starting gun" ... no Breate [sic] Reprise

BRAIN DAMAGE - no laughing on fade up ... "lunatic is in my head" fade up is different
from what precedes on record (which is chorus instead of instrumental section) ... "if
cloud burst..." has lead guitar not on record ... no voice speech in next section, but
lead guitar instead... lead guitar on end after "dark side of the moon"

US AND THEM - Sax solo at the beginning has different ending ... no echo on voice ...
sax continues inder voice into second verse ... into "forward he cried" ... and next verse,
"black and blue" (record starts at "who's who" and goes to "up and down")... sax continues
into "up and down" verse and into "haven't you heard" with no voice over. On record the sax
is the same take but just mixed in and out.

Eric Clapton - Fillmore Blues Night

San Francisco, Ca. - November 7, 1994 - Paddington Records - PADVD-01 - DVD-R1

 This first of three performances at San Francisco's Fillmore was filmed by Martin Scorcese's crew in order to help plan out camera moves for the following nights. Shot with a single camera and with (monaural) soundboard audio, this recording has been available to collectors in varying degrees of quality for years but this is the finest we have seen to date. Enhanced even further by a nicely done authoring job, this Paddington release is the definitive visual document of this tasty performance. Recommended.

2) Malted Milk

Peto Comments:
I downloaded this one years ago when I downloaded mostly audio shows because I had small storage  hard discs and rather slow internet connection compared to the present. Then It got corrupted and I found this one online.
I did nothing to the files, just added the lineage and media info included below and created md5s.

Mitsuaki Kishi Trio + One
2006-01-15
NHK Studio 505 “Session 505”
Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan

Source: NHK (82.5 FM) stereo broadcast > Pioneer F-P700 tuner > Tascam CD-RW750 master CDR (Taiyo Yuden) > xACT > WAV
Taper:  Tim McKenzie
Master: Wavelab 11 (tracking, de-Noise) > FLAC 1644

03. Program intro by Moko Ogawa
04. Undecided
05. Deep Purple
06. Song intros

14. band intros
15. Fly Me To The Moon
16. Program outro

Mitsuaki Kishi, piano
Shintaro Nakamura, bass
Hiroshi Tanaka, drums
Kan Fujii, vibraphone

Note: Broadcast date was 2006-02-05.  Additional notes related to Japanese content:

1) The program format of “Session 505” usually began with the featured artist playing their own interpretation of Duke Ellington’s composition, “C Jam Blues.” Session 505 ran for 494 broadcasts from 1999-03-13 to 2010-03-28 with Moko Ogawa as the program announcer.

2) After C Jam Blues, program announcer Moko Ogawa introduced Mitsuaki Kishi, born in 1961 in Wakayama Prefecture, who under the influence of his musician father began studying piano at a young age. Kishi began playing piano professionally in high school, and after working as a musician in the Kansai region, moved to Tokyo in 1994. At the time of this concert Kishi had released eight albums as a band leader. Ogawa said in 2003 Kishi was invited to play throughout Russia and in 2004 this trio played a well received performance at the Vladivostok International Jazz Festival.

3) On track six, Kishi introduced the previous two songs, “Undecided” and “Deep Purple” both written in the 1930s. Introducing the next two songs, he commented that when he recorded “Flooded Road” in New Jersey, this song did not yet have a name, and joked that he was still “undecided.” However, on the way home in a rainstorm he encountered a flooded road, which became the inspiration for the name. Regarding the song, “Gee Baby, Ain’t I Good to You,” Kishi commented that bassist Shintaro Nakamura would carry the melody.

4) On track nine, Kishi talked about this trio’s trip to Russia in 2003, and being asked back with this trio in 2004 to play at the Vladivostok Jazz Festival, which was when they added vibraphone to the trio. The next two songs are from that period. Kishi commented that during the Soviet era an instrumental version of the song “Manchester et Liverpool” (a song made popular by Marie Laforêt in 1966) was used as background music for the state televised weather report for years, and was a melody that everyone in Russia was familiar with. Kishi also introduced another familiar piece, “Loss in Love,” (Henry Mancini), which is the soundtrack to the film “Sunflower” (Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni, 1970), the first movie filmed in the Soviet Union by a western filmmaker.

5) Track twelve, Kishi introduced the 1920 Al Jolson song, “Avalon.”

6) Track fourteen, Kishi introduced the 1954 Bart Howard song, “Fly me to the Moon,” stating that it was an era when the moon still had a certain amount of “mystery” to it.

7) Track sixteen contains Moko Ogawa’s recap of the song titles performed; the reading of a written impression by someone who attended the concert; and the upcoming schedule of performances and how to apply for tickets.

Enjoy!

Thanks a lot to Rudy and M.M. who provided this wonderful source, all credits
to them.

Ah, forget about any other version of this show. Forget even about the nice
tracks from the Omay Yad LP. Straight from a 1st Generation Reel, comparing it
to the other versions around wouldnt be fair for the other releases, because
this never sounded as good as it does with this version. You wont find a better
version of this concert till the master reels gets transferred. And as if this
wasnt enough, now we can hear Green is the Colour, Careful and Saucerful which
werent available till today. It gets a bit distorted on the louder parts but
it's absolutely listenable and the definition is still very good, i can live
with that. Bass is really good but lacks a bit of highs, still, it has excellent
brightness and definition overall. Another source with better highs would make
a better difference even.

Only editing on this recording was on AD, removing some damaged portion at
4:16-4:20m and over Cymbaline, M.M. removed 'the lines converging where you
stand' till the chorus part and patched it with a bif ot Santa Monica 23.10.70.
The common 'Santa Monica' bootleg has the complete Cymbaline with the original
drop-outs and cuts. Also, i have a couple of transfers from fan tapes that have
some dropouts at the beginning of AD, that anomalies are not present here. Also,
Careful has an skip at 2:36m and i think it might be missing around a minute cos
it jumps suddenly from the quiet ambience to a few bars before the scream. ASoS
has another skip towards the end. These skips/cuts are not from CDs.

Spectrum reveals that something happened above the 16khz, i think it has
something to do with the mics used that night, transfer equipment or the Reel
itself. If you want more info about this, go to the thread i started about this
here at Y. Anyway now you all will have it and will be able to make your own
conclusions. M.M. states on his notes (you'll see them in the back artwork) that
the reels were starting to deteriorate so that might be the true reason.

burn one and enjoy

Oregon
IMAC (Inter Media Arts Center)
Huntington, NY
October 30, 1983

WAV file share of sbd recording > foobar EQ of WAV's recorded to Roland Edirol R-07 > Audacity for tracking and editing > TLH for torrent creation

This is an upgrade of a generally uncirculated Oregon show from the time of their first 2 recordings in the early 80's that were done for the ECM label. It replaces a flawed version that was shared recently. This is the original quartet of Oregon players that includes the late Collin Walcott, and you'll hear them at the time when they were starting to use synthesizers as a new part of their instrumental palette, both live and on their recordings. IMAC was a lovely venue about an hour east of Manhattan, It was in the village of Huntington on Long Island, and it's now re-modeled and called the Paramount.

IMAC hosted many fine shows through the years, and Oregon played there on several occasions up to the point that it closed. I saw many shows there, but not this one, and know that soundmen there occasionally did allow the taping community to patch into the board. This recording reputedly originated through a friend of Collin Walcott's. The wording in the setlist has now been changed to accurately indicate that Oregon played 2 separate admission shows (of 2 sets each) at IMAC that night. There was a set break in each of those shows. It followed Impending Bloom in the first show, and The Glide in the 2nd show. Knowing that might help to explain some of the stage banter that is included.

DIME user Waterwheel had originally shared this with me in a digital trade about a year ago. He learned of the problem with a few files in my initial share after it had been uploaded, and came to the rescue with another version of the show that didn't include the digital noises that had significantly marred the 4 tracks shown with asterisks. I kept the bulk of my original upload, and patched in clean versions of those same performances in this new torrent. I guess this isn't technically a "matrix" share, since 2 versions from the exact same recording source and taper were used. If I'm wrong, and that now should be indicated, please let me know.

There was a hum present throughout both shows in the original files, and in these newer ones. That hum relates to the initial soundboard patch. Its presence had led me use foobar to create an EQ setting that minimized the hum without changing the character of the instruments. I used that same EQ on the replacement files for the sake of continuity. The files for the songs from the replacement 2nd show appeared to be at a "hotter" sound level than they'd originally been. The files appeared with more noticeable peaks, even after normalizing them in Audacity, so the hum may be a little more apparent on the last 3 songs from set 2, but my guess is that most people will find that to be a vastly superior tradeoff to the levels of digital noise that had once been present.
This is definitely worthwhile for fans of the band from this early 80's point where they'd released their eponymous Oregon album on ECM and were working on Crossing, their final recording with Collin Walcott. With that in mind, you'll hear some of those ECM album songs, including Queen of Sydney referred to by its working title, noted here in the title I've written for it in the first show. The samples will honestly show what to expect, so if the idea of the hum troubles you, listening to them is advised.

Thanks again to DIME user Waterwheel (the person) for making this available to me and, to an even greater extent, in coming forward with an improved version for me to share with everyone. Thanks too to the recorder who got a copy to Waterwheel. Goody gets kudos too for taking some time to get involved in a couple of ways at a couple of different times as a sounding board for me in prepping the show. He also lifted the fog for me relating to aspects of foobar that proved to be essential in getting this all ready.

Review:

"Complete recording of the 18 Feb. date at the Rainbow Theatre ' 72 (second night at the Rainbow) it includes tuneups, Waters comments and audience appreciation. The sound quality is excellent, the performance is more than pleasurable and the audience sounds really warm :) Waters introduces Careful as a "Golden Oldie" (or something like that)

Part of the audience was present the first night at the Rainbow too for sure, since they seem to know well the setlist (requesting loudly for songs) except for Blues that was not performed the first night and that left the audience speechless first and then enthusiastic ;)


--------------------------

Note: a few instances of diginoise, notably at 4:11 of ASOS, which most probably means this particular source has been transferred from a DAT somewhere along the line.

vanillag NOTES (1/21/2023): 
--Thank you so much to whomever originally captured & shared out this Joan Osborne 2002 show.  Absolutely Appreciated & sounds amazing!! 
--this is obviously from a European FM broadcast...no question
--I added the band members info
--corrected some song titles toward how they appear on the original albums
--added more detail to the setlist
--corrected the name of the venue & added one to the bonus tracks
--added more detail to the venues info
--regarding the date of the BONUS tracks, they are from an "eTown" radio broadcast from 2000-08-18.  That date does make sense as when researching this date, the only performance I could find of Joan was her splitting the bill with Jonny Lang at Fox Theatre in Boulder on 2000-08-17 (which I originally assumed where these 2 tracks were from).  It makes sense that she would do the "eTown" taping the next day since she was already in Boulder, etc.  Not 100% convinced that t14 is from there as it sounds sort of different in recording quality & when they end the tune there is no applause (but it does sound like they are live however...maybe it is just edited before the applause started), but I will defer to the original recordist's share of this & agree that it is also from this date.  If anyone out there has this entire "eTown" 2000 performance, please won't you share it with us all??

mjk5510 NOTES: 
Known Faults:  None
--Welcome to Volume 48 of our master series featuring the master recordings of dime member "tapetyrant". The series will predominately feature captures in the Northeast and Southern California areas. We will touch on multiple genres with a strong focus on Jazz Fusion, New Wave and Rock.
--Tapetyrant was an active taper in the 1980's and much of the 1990's before, like many of us, hanging up the mics. What he captured during that time is uniformly excellent quality and his master tapes have been safely stored, the first batch are in pristine condition. Some shows may circulate from lower generation copies but most have remained uncirculated until now and have never circulated directly from the masters.
--Prior to DAT, the heavy lifting was entirely done by a Sony D5 with NAK 300's and taping was serious business, acquiring the best seats possible and working to keep neighbors in check.
--Volume 48 features an excellent quality capture of Public Image Limited's 1987 show at the Universal Amphitheatre, this is the second available recorder for this night. TapeTyrant had good seats and quality is excellent, in true Johnny fashion he spends some time scolding the audience about not being as into the show as he thinks they should be. We've included ads and a review of the show (the reviewer bemoans the fact Johnny has become a softie in his words and that his personality carried the show).
--Thanks as always to Goody for the invaluable pitch guidance.
--Continued thanks to "tapetyrant" for doing such a great job capturing these important shows, for reaching out and entrusting me to present his excellent work for all to enjoy for decades to come. We are indebted to his generosity (tapers don't let those tapes and your hard work get lost to the ages, there are plenty of folks to get in touch with here to help get them out, we're all working to leave no tape behind).
--Artwork and samples included.

mjk5510 and tapetyrant 

vanillag NOTES (1/21/2023): 
--Super BIG Thanks to TapeTyrant for recording & sharing this Public Image Limited 1987 show & to mjk5510 for the transfer & share & to goody for his part in the pitch process.  Absolutely Appreciated!! 
--Lime Spiders opened the show 
--"Tie Me To the Length Of That" is a very shortened version...just the 1st verse before it segues into "This Is Not a Love Song"
--I added the band members info & some more detail to the setlist 
--corrected some song titles toward how they appear on the original albums
--added more detail to the venue info 
--This venue no longer exists...it opened on 1972-06-28 & was originally known as "Universal Amphitheatre" (from 1972-2005) & then "Gibson Amphitheatre" (from 2005-2013).  The amphitheater closed on September 6, 2013 and was demolished for "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Many thanks to the pervessor for his help!

Many thanks for this professional artwork!

You can hear my friend David greeting me as I get there just in the nick of time.
I sort of remember sitting a bit to the right side and in the middle of the first section.
Sounds like we are right in front of the PA.
Jeff was on the other side of the stage and I was real concerned during the first song because you could barely hear him.
It was the mix and by the second song his guitar is nice and loud.

This tape has been in the hands of David Freshman all these years and he sent me these 2 masters recently.
David, Mark and I were very close friends and we made a few recordings together.
For this recording we borrowed Ron's new Sennheiser 406 microphones and they were brand new and very bass heavy.
Made the masters very muddy sounding.
Har-Bal toned down the low end by using the harmonic balancing principle and a little spectral reshaping.
This recording came out incredible and coupled with a hot performance this is really nice to listen to 36 years later.

Loud claps, screams, chatter and whistles were toned down or masked with a variety of methods using iZotope RX4 advanced.
Handling noises and other odd clunks & ticks were also removed at that time.

It's hard to say what the purpose of the film was.  It was reportedly filmed by McCartney staff and McCartney & others in the band are clearly conscious of the filmer.  The people in the audience cheering at the onset are people who purchased VIP tickets (for 100K yen) which allowed them seating during the soundcheck.

None of it has been officially released.  The compilation (& the accompanying CD) is identified as unofficial:  https://www.the-paulmccartney-project.com/album/welcome-to-soundcheck-1993/.  I don't plan to upload the CD because the soundtrack cuts sound like the studio versions (no audience) and there are a fair number of lossy sourced tunes.

Reworking
---------
 
Nota : please note that i did not reedit the CD exactly like the original insert,
the only difference was that i linked the "Closing Theme" with "Can't Help Falling In Love",
as the last track was less than a minute long.
You can easily cut again the last track in two, using CD Wave Editor.

when i heard for the first time the CD, i noticed that the left channel was far better
than the right one. As it was a mono recording, i made a few samples :
- with the right channel a bit higher,
- a new version using only the right channel,
- a new version using only the left channel.
After hearing those versions for around 5 minutes, i decided that the new version using only
the left channel far the better of the three without any doubt.

I normalized the gig only a few times, when the sound level was too loud.

The tape used here don't have any hiss (or it is almost not noticable),
which is really rare for soundboards. 

-----------------------------------------
On Tour 1974 : March 1 - March 20, 1974
-----------------------------------------

Some datas may be incorrect, please contact me if you see any error,
or if you can complete or add any relevant information
about that venue/period/gig/set/songs.

Thanks for your comprehension and help and sorry for the average English.

1974 : this year Elvis played a lot of gigs !

- spring season in Las Vegas (January - February) : 29 shows
- On Tour (Middle East, March) : 25 shows
- On Tour (California, May) : 5 shows
- summer season in Lake Tahoe (May) : 22 shows
- On Tour (Middle East, June - July) : 25 shows
- summer season in Las Vegas (August - September) : 29 shows
- On Tour (Middle East, September - October) : 15 shows

Most ot the time, Elvis played 2 gigs a day.

Many of those gigs were protaped, and recordings done by audience members were more and more common.

On that tour, RCA released only one gig, the closing show in Memphis on March 20, 1974.
The first release on CD (with the same material as the original LP)
of "Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis" was the japanese one in 1986, and included less than 45 minutes
of the original show.
In 2004, FTD re-released the almost complete 70 minutes gig with a poor mixing.
I did not worked the two CDs together for now, but i will do that, and maybe use the complete soundboard version
released by Fort Baxter in the bootleg CD "Steamroller Blues".

Many fans have reviewed very closely those materials, please check the links below.

--------
The gig
--------

This is the 19th of 25 shows done in March 1974, and the first gig in Memphis since the two charity
gigs performed here on February 25, 1961.

Elvis will play 2 shows on March 16, again 2 the day after, and will end with a closing show on March 20.
The present show is the afternoon performance (2.30 pm) of March 16.

It seemed that a lot of young women were in the audience, the "Elvismania" can be clearly heard
during the 1 hour show.

The performance ? Excellent, period.

Each songs is well delivered (thanks also to the excellent mix of the instruments and vocals),
and Elvis made a few jokes. The young and fanatic audience is waiting every word of the King in silent before exploding.
"Johnny B. Goode" will be not performed during the closing show on March 20.
I wanted to point out some highlights, but well too many to count... "Fever" must be heard !

The Rock Legends CD is a must have. The original pressing is now hard to find.

That torrent may be a good alternative, as the sound was normalized.
It is also a good start for a more complete remastering.

Quality : 9.5+ / 10

Again, you will find reviews on the links below.

As usual, i do not advise to buy bootlegs, especially Elvis Presley live releases,
as many are really really crap (bad sound and/or performance, incomplete, edited...).
As "Follow That Dream" is releasing studio sessions and live concerts,
take a look on their website and on the various reviews done by fanatics.
You will be sure to find what you want.

TITLE: "The Singular Eye" [henceforth referred to as "B80"]
 
DATE:  9 September 1980
 
LOCATION: Boston, Massachusetts, USA
 
VENUE: Boston Garden

RECORDING TYPE: Audience ["AR"]

NOTES FROM TWO OFFICIAL "BLIND" B80 PROJECT TEST GROUP LISTENERS

"What a treat it is to listen to this lovingly mastered recording of the Yes DRAMA lineup live.  I kept finding myself getting lost in the performance (which in itself actually says quite a bit about the sonics). By any DRAMA tour standard of comparison, the sound quality is nothing short of breathtaking.

The vocals here have an amazingly lifelike presence throughout, often seeming to leap right out of the speakers or headphones. One of the most impressive aspects of Lestat's releases is the almost holographic sense of venue ambience he and Balrog consistently achieve-you really feel like you are there in the concert hall with the audience. Finally, he consistently maintains the full dynamic range of the performance-not just in transitions between louder and quieter parts, but perhaps just as importantly in the detail with which we can still hear the quieter nuances in the midst of relatively loud passages.

Overall, the sound here is miles beyond any other live recording of this Yes lineup that I have ever heard.  The DRAMA tracks in the official THE WORD IS LIVE are barely listenable after hearing this.  I recently heard another recording from the tour that was quite good,but completely lacking the incredible nuance and sense of presence and space so abundant in this release.
We are all incredibly lucky that Balrog happened to tape this performance, that Lestat had the expertise to master it so
beautifully, and that both of them have the generosity to share their efforts with such a wide community of fans. I have yet to see Gromek's artwork design, but I suspect that it will be a joy to behold. Many thanks to the three of them (as well as to the past and present members of Yes, of course) for allowing me to relive some of the magic of so many years ago."

- "NorthNYMark"

"The triumvirate is complete-B78, B79 and now B80. This latest show represents a triumph for Messrs. LESTAT and BALROG. What is presentedfor you is not only a stunning capture of a gret night on anunderrated tour but the application of unparalleled audio engineeringto bring out the very best the Master tape had to offer. So with thatsaid, enjoy the very best recording of the Drama Tour!"

- "Jackstraw42"

A NOTE FROM THE PRODUCERS

No matter how you feel about the DRAMA (Buggles) era of Yes, there'sno denying something very exciting and different happened in the albumand tour. To some the departure of Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman fromthe lineup and their replacement by Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes meantthe band no longer deserved to call itself Yes. But the concert is
still very much Yes music. The old songs may not sound quite  right onfirst listen, but there are some remarkable moments in theperformances. And keep in mind that Anderson and Wakeman made a realcontribution to Drama before departing. Yes purists ("Troopers" if youlike) would do themselves a favor in giving this one a chance.

Boston Garden was only the ninth show in the tour. Trevor Horn's voicewas still intact enough to sound almost exactly like Jon Anderson muchof the time. The circular sound system was not quite the same as theone used in the preceding Tormato concerts, but it was still muchbetter than the stacks used in the GFTO tour. Very few rock concertsound systems could overcome the notorious Boston Garden mid-bass"boom" that can be heard in almost all recordings made there. Only
Yes' circular system and Pink Floyd's "quad" system were able toaccomplish it.

REMASTER SUMMARY: EQ work to reveal - not mix - extant AR detail, asthe audience heard and felt it. No attempts to alter band-crowd-venuesound balance. If crowd sound as real and detailed as band sound isn'tdesired, please pass this by and stick to boards or industry releases.
No compression or noise reduction. FFT filtering at 19.3KHz eliminatedany need for dedicated NR.

INDEPENDENT SOUND ANALYSIS: Several trusted 'beta testers', including
Barry, Gromek and others

ORIGINAL ART: Gromek

SOURCE AND AUDIO WORK AT LENGTH -

Yet another top shelf pre-1990s analog AR rivaling many from the post
1990 DAT era.

Like others it nonetheless required months of work and testing ofresults by multiple listeners in a wide variety of playback systems togive up the best it has to offer.

Every effort was made to reveal all possible detail in each tone ofeach instrument as far as it occurred in the band's PA mix, and we'repleased with the result overall. Lower crash cymbal tones make oneimportant litmus, so too even audience clapping.

This project was made especially challenging by Yes' own 1980 soundsystem, which was not only different but inferior to the one used in1978/1979. We can only speculate as to why, but the PA output wasquite poor for Yes and heavily afflicted with wildly fluctuating hiss,distortion, a lack of some lower high frequencies - robbing it of the
'warmth' among other things Yes concert sound had been famous for -and a certain overall 'tinniness' [resembling digital compression].

PA distortion occurs mainly in Squire's bass and at times in midrangekeyboard sounds, becoming especially terrible during "The Fish", "IntoThe Lens" and Downe's solo. Lower cymbal tones in particular didn'tcome through in the Yes mix nearly as well as in previous tours,leaving them 'thin' sounding by comparison. Making matters worse,percussive 'swish' and 'swirl' were chronic in this PA system. Itseems to have been weirdly chronic in 1977 too, but in the 1980 systemit was much worse. The Garden's legendary acoustics and a [likely] newYes soundman definitely contributed to and aggravated all of theseproblems.

None of the described distortion can even be partly mitigated withoutapproaches like compression highly destructive to desirable signal. Onthe brighter side we can still hear more brilliant detail in thisDRAMA tour recording than any other I've come across, including theDRAMA tour material featured in THE WORD IS LIVE. "Thinness" in lowerhighs and upper mids also mitigated fairly well with EQ settingscarefully crafted to avoid altering other things, and upper highfrequencies came out very well.

A few miscellaneous annoyances include a strange aberration during"Into the Lens" suggesting a sudden, radical shift in deck settings ora recording splice but most likely another PA output artifact. Duringthis event, sound sharpens strongly in both channels and shifts hardto left. It has been smoothened out a bit, but slicing it out wouldhave taken too much of an important musical passage. As "MachineMessiah" prepares to start hiss suddenly drops out then returns,somewhat more likely to be a brief deck offset but could still easilybe in the PA system output.

Actual tape hiss where it can be distinguished from PA output hiss isnoticeable, but enough of it occurs above a 19.3KHz signal 'event
horizon' an FFT filter set there allowed avoidance of dedicated noisereduction. "B78" had no such filtering, and while no signal was lostin either recording is considerably hissier.
Many thanks to Yes, then and nowSpecial thanks to Gromek for artwork so perfectly evocative of the
show's energy and this effort.Endless, endless thanks to Barry for another miraculous AR, the
expertise and bravery it required.Please share freely but losslessly, and never, EVER even THINK ofselling for any sum anywhere. Reseed or redistribute this recording inits complete and original form only. Should we become aware of an
incomplete reseed or distribution, we will publicly discredit theparty responsible.

NOTES FROM BARRY:

This is the third of three Boston Garden shows that I taped while Yes
had the incredible rotating stage and circular sound system. All three
(1978, 1979, and 1980) have now been remastered by the amazing
Monsieur Lestat and are seeding on Dime.

This concert was also recorded by glasnostrd19 and appeared on Dime
several months ago. While I applaud glasnostrd19's recording, I think
you'll find that you've never heard anything quite like this one
before.

There are three commercial bootlegs that I know about. I don't know
which source was used to make them:

Drama in the Garden (RR00-019) Dramatic Yes (four tracks) Where the
Lens is Wide (fat cat records fcr-cd 90124)

Fat Cat Records had the audacity to declare a copyright on the
recording: "copyright fat cat records - a product of Norway - all
rights reserved". There really is a Fat Cat Records but it's in
England, not Norway, and I'm sure it had nothing to do with the
bootleg.

This recording is listenable at concert volume on audiophile-quality
equipment. No constraints are placed on the dynamic range as is the
case in commercial live recordings. For this reason, the peaks may
exceed the capabilities of consumer-quality audio systems resulting in
distortion from frequencies that cannot be properly reproduced.

To obtain audiophile-quality equipment at an affordable price,
consider getting high-end headphones, a headphone amplifier, and a CD
player from eBay or other sources of pre-owned audio equipment. You
will find that it's well worth the expense.

On a personal note, my goal in taping concerts has always been to
achieve time travel. I want go back in time and relive musical
experiences that were much too important to me to allow them be heard
once and lost forever. And I want the experience to be available to
everyone who loves the music.

Anyone who has ever taped a concert knows that there's a price to pay,
not only in terms of money spent and risk taken, but in the way it
diminishes your own enjoyment of the show. You have to monitor the
mikes and the deck. If you allow yourself to get too much into the
music and forget about the equipment, you screw up. So it's sort of
being the designated driver. You can enjoy yourself, but not too much.

The reason I bring this up is to point out how much Lestat's
remastering work makes up for the enjoyment lost at the time the
recording was made. Now I can relive the experience while completely
relaxed. Other than the absence of smoke in the air and the ambience
of the old Boston Garden, it's not much different from being there.
With no equipment to worry about I can let the music carry me to
places I've never been. I sincerely hope it provides the same
enjoyment for you.

- Barry

NOTES FROM GROMEK:

As I was such a young lad when DRAMA came out I can't say much about
that time, but I do remember that it went by unnoticed by me (let's
face it - Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman were not a part of Yes
anymore, so that was that, it was over!) and I went on to explore
other styles of music and of course Jon's Song of Seven album.

I did like The Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star" song, but Yes
was simply not Yes without two very important members, so there.
Hearing and reading stories about ex-Yes members saying Yes really
should not have done DRAMA, and that it really should not be talked
about, was an extra reason for me to leave it for what it was (without
hearing a second of music from the actual album).

Boy was I wrong!

Some years later I decided to explore the new Yes incarnation with
Trevor Rabin, and although it did not compare to the old sound
remember that I loved the new sound. So then I also had a go at DRAMA,
and was pleasantly surprised by that too! I really liked the album and
after a few listening sessions I decided I loved it, and everyone who
said that it should never have been made was wrong!

Now years and years later DRAMA comes to life again! Lestat has done
wonders with this recording (another excellent one "Recorded by
Balrog") and I was happy to be part of the project too, although my
part is nothing compared to what he and Lestat had to go through to
get it to sound like this!

This time I was inspired by an image created by Barry and the lyrics
from the DRAMA album - mostly Machine Messiah - and the title "The
Singular Eye" derives from that. So after grabbing some images from my
usual sources (all having something to do with eyes and digital
manipulation) I went on to make a collage and manipulated it (using
PSP X2), producing what you see now as a finished cover.

So when you listen to this excellent live performance, try to envision
or look at the art, and combine the two mentally. It should be very
effective.

Well, enough from me, I hope you like what I did, but all praise goes
to Barry and Lestat, as they were the men who provided us with another
gem to be circulated among Yes fans.

- Gromek

A FURTHER NOTE ON THE "DRAMA" ERA FROM NORTHNYMARK:

While a sizeable number of Yes fans will probably always consider the
Drama album and tour questionable at best and an atrocity at worst,
for many of us the Drama lineup continues to occupy a very special
place in our musical worlds.

When I first heard the studio album, I actually knew relatively little
about Yes: getting into music in the early '80s, I became a fan of
Asia and began tracking down the  individual members' back catalogues.
When I finally found an elusive (at that time) cassette copy of Drama,
I had an exam over A Tale of Two Cities the next day-and I had yet to
begin the book!  So I had to promise to wait until after school the
next day to listen (which made it indeed the best of times and the
worst of times).  That first listen the next afternoon was one of
those magical moments that will always remain vivid in my memory.

Geoff Downes once referred to the album's compositions as "little
masterworks," and it certainly seemed a fitting description of the
sprawling structure and jarring mood and tempo changes of "Machine
Messiah," the oddly touching melancholy of "White Car" and "Into the
Lens," the unexpected majesty of the coda to "Does It Really Happen,"
the slightly surreal synthesizer effects of "Run Through the Light,"
and the sheer virtuosity of "Tempus Fugit."  Nothing else in the Yes
catalogue (or that of anyone else) sounds quite like it.

Artist: Jake Shimabukuro
Date: 21 January 2023
Location: Kahului, Maui, Hawaii
Venue: Castle Theater at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center

Lineage: AT933(4.7k)(H) mics > bbox > Roland R-07(24/48) >
RX9/Ozone9> TLH > flac24

Over the last few years, ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro has performed onstage with folks like Billy Strings, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Umphreys McGee and more.

He started out this evening playing a set with his band "Pure Heart".

This set is Jake performing as Jake Shimabukuro (he is assisted by bass player - Jackson Waldoff). As a result, this set starts off with a lengthy introduction that refers back to the Pure Heart set.

It covers quite a bit of musical territory. From gentle, thought provoking material like Ichigoichie to the Dead's Friend Of The Devil > Fire On The Mountain jam using loops ala Keller Williams. The rock medley intro to "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" has snippets of music from Cream, Deep Purple and ZZ Top!

At the end of the show, he brings back Pure Heart members Lopaka Colon and Jon Yamasato.

As usual, take it if you need it, if you don't just pass it on.

vanillag NOTES (1/30/2023): 
--BIG Thank you to whomever originally recorded & shared out this Albert Collins & the Icebreakers 1992 show & to dime member cubswoo for upping it recently.  Absolutely Appreciated!! 
--Thru much research & cross-referencing online, I discovered that this set was part of "Blues On the Rocks 1992" at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on 1992-08-16 (which I believe was the 2nd "Blues On the Rocks")...the lineup was (from start to finish):  Bar BQ Bob;  Big Head Todd & the Monsters;  Albert Collins & the Icebreakers;  Pop Staples & the Staple Singers;  the Robert Cray Band 
--https://www.concertarchives.org/concerts/blues-on-the-rocks--2423595
--Thru more research, I was able to discover & add the band members info...they are announced one by one during t01, but my research confirms them & the spellings of their names, etc. 
--I corrected some of the song titles toward how they appear on the original albums
--added some more detail to the setlist
--created an ffp checksum file 
--added the ffp fingerprints to the text file 
--added more detail to the venue info 
--This puppy sounds real nice & is mixed in full stereo action as well...IMO it could use some beefing up of the levels & a couple other small things to make it truly shine to its full potential & I'll do that to this show one day, but not today (if only there were more hours in the day).

Notes: Some of the songs cut in slightly. The only song cut at the end is track 27 and that track cuts in also. A few song titles have been corrected since the first time shared. Many thanks to zuma11 for much help with figuring out what exactly has now been released. And of course thanks to Professor Goody for checking and providing the speed/pitch adjustment amounts. Finally, artwork was provided after the first editions of this content in 2013 by ethiessen1 and has now been updated by him for this edition, which is now titled "volume 3", to follow the now deleted volumes 1 and 2 from 2013. As the artwork shows, the suggested switch point for burning to CDRs is before track 17. Please support the artists and live venues any way that you can. Enjoy and SHARE!

I first learned about the existence of this tape in April of 2002, and got my hands on it 19 months (!) later. It was worth the wait, though, and I think it has earned a reputation as one of the truly essential FZ tapes, despite its length. Back in those days, I was still too much into "remastering", and the version that's been circulated had undergone noise reduction, as well as other digital treatment. Although I still think the result was good, it's definitely about time that a raw transfer becomes available. I'm sure many of you will prefer it.

Aside from some hiss, the sound is close to perfect. The high end deteriorates somewhat towards over time  - not sure if this comes from the 34 year old master, or if my tape has been damaged somehow. This recording ends as the MOI takes intermission, and the rest of the show is available as video. I know other seeds have included this portion, but I've chosen not to do so.

Along with the tape, I got a photocopy of the documentation of the SBD master, with the songs in the wrong order. Here's what it says:

THEATRE DE L'OLYMPIA   PARIS
Seance du 26 Octobre 1968 à 0h30

The Mothers Of Invention

2 - String Quartet

Enjoy!

March - 2023:

About 20 years ago in 2003, I worked a little bit with Harry Popick, along regularly with Betty Cantor-Jackson at Glide Memorial Church in SF. [www.glide.org]

Betty and Harry both worked for the Grateful Dead in their careers. He as their monitor engineer from 1976-1995 and Betty as recording engineer and producer since 1968. Harry was also the sound engineer for the Jerry Garcia Band circa 1976 - 1986.

With Betty’s blessings, Harry one day gave me a couple of shoeboxes of Jerry Garcia Band soundboard masters, circa 1984-1986. Per her request, I held on to these or played copies as a dj for a weekly Grateful Dead Night at a place called "Nickie's" at 460 Lower Haight St in SF. But that was about it.

Recently while dusting a shelf, I noticed an old DAT of one these Jerry Garcia Band shows and I thought it's silly they’re still not in circulation.

I have transferred some and will soon be uploading. These are the masters that haven’t circulated to date, so it’ll be fun to hear something new. They vary in sound.

Attached is a picture of Betty retrieving what I had left of those tapes as to store in her care[Early 2022]. The other is Harry at work on monitor sound.

Of the tapes, the ones from this box I transferred 24 bit via Nakamichi DR1 to Sound Devices MixPre6. The ones I did 20 years ago and then gave back to Betty, are 16-bit on DAT. Betty tends NOT to give back things she takes away so that is that.

I hope you enjoy! Cheers.

First of 2 dates here supporting the release of the CD anthology-thingy "Return To The Valley
Of The Go Go's". A couple of these tracks were written specially for this issue and a couple
of others were possibly played for the first time in a long time. It was a fun listen whilst
digitizing it.

"My mama always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."

So, after a recent Xmal Deutschland upload by 10thFlrClown, some off-site conversations have been had.

There should be a few more Xmal uploads coming over the next few weeks, however it has given me a bit
of a proverbial "kick up the back-side", I have been collecting live tapes since the early 80's, many
of these will have been previously digitized and will be in general circulation. Hopefully some of what
I will choose to upload from 2 boxes of tapes will be rare/new to circulation or maybe just upgrades
to generations already in circulation. All these from the "Box of Tapes" will be relatively low
generation as they would have been purchased at the many bootleg tape stalls from Camden Market or
Portobello Road Market or the various Record Fairs around London at the time, some may have been purchased
or swapped from/with like minded fans/collectors from the classified ads of NME/Sounds/Melody Maker etc.

In the comments of this torrent I will list a few of what I hope to upload next so maybe people can
let me know if "known lineage" or some rare "released track(s)" mean I should re-frain from uploading.


Share freely and use wisely.

Cheers

comments:
 this was the 1st US tour for then 21 year old Sinéad who was riding the
hugely popular debut album "the lion and the cobra".
at the time of this posting (late March 2012) there was just one other earlier
USA Sinéad show, five days before this one from March 26th at the World in N.Y.C.
eight songs played in this broadcast are heard in that (studio) record, all
except for the Smiths one, including all three of the ones that became singles.
if an Irish artist wants to make it big in the USA Boston is a good place to start.
there's a very large Irish population in Boston area, it was one of the first places
beyond Ireland that U2 became hugely popular, and Sinéad O'Connor also became
very popular in short time in the Little Ireland of New England.
her second album, "I do not want what I haven't got" wasn't released until 1990,
including probably her most popular hit around here, "nothing compares to you"
there is a live video recorded just a couple of months later (June 3, 1988)
at the Dominion Theater in London UK with seven songs from the debut album,
and another one called "the year of the horse" recorded in Brussels and Rotterdam
in late Oct. 1990, and a couple of others recorded in the 2000's.

These are the early and late shows from the second day of the festival, and a mixture of gospel and bluegrass, about half and half.  Great stuff.  Another fine recording by Charles Odell, with a few tape flips but no flaws.

Enjoy!

No stupid screaming here. 

I excerpted these tracks from the box set.  The recording took place in front of a studio audience at the Arenateatern (arena theatre), a small theatre in Stockholm’s Gröna Lund amusement park. Also on the bill were Gals & Pals and the singer Lill-Babs.  I did not include their tracks in this upload.

Tracks 7 - 13 were described as a 'remastered version' but I have no idea what that means.  Bootleg publishers are not renowned for the clarity of their packaging. 

I figured out what was official and what wasn't:

--Thanks so much to LTB for recording & sharing your master of this Traffic 1971 show & to mossa for spreading it far & wide for all of us.  Absolutely Appreciated!! 
--not convinced they did 2 sets here (can't quite hear what Steve Winwood says after "John Barleycorn (Must Die)"), but I'm willing to go with what LTB put forth here as he was there
--I added more detail to the band members info & setlist info
--corrected some song titles toward how they appear on the original albums
--added more detail to the venue info
--the venue is now called "Jahrhunderthalle" & used to be called "Jahrhunderthalle Hoechst" (from 1963-1999)...I think the "Kongresshalle" was something it was commonly called by bands & such back in the day

* With Jeff Friedberg on saxophone

Notes:
-HPB lists _uck Your Face after Cities (d1t09) so the splice after Cities
  probably cut out this song for some reason. :-(
-There are splices at the following positions, all of which occur between songs.
  I'm not sure why there are so many of them.  Either the person who did the DAT
  master didn't want so much space between songs or there is something else missing.
d1t06 2:04, d1t07 4:04, d1t09 5:21
d2t01 0:01, d2t07 0:00.8, d2t09 8:17, d2t12 0:00.6
d3t03 4:49, d3t04 5:17
-In d1t10 there was a high pitched oscillating sound from 0:12-0:16,
  d2t02 from 1:43-1:46, and d2t09 3:13-3:13 which I could not remove without
  disrupting the quality of the recording.  This may be feedback...?
-I noticed throughout the tracks that the L and R waves were exactly identical
  with the exception of the R channel having lower levels than the left.
-Tape flips:
between d2t02-d2t03 (fade in...fade out)
-There is some light warbling in d2t06 at 2:42.

Fixes:
-There were a few errors on the original DAT which I edited out.
  They occured:
d1t01 1:48  2 DOs
d1t08 6:19  1 DO
d1t09 4:17  3 <0.001s bursts in R channel which were replaced with L channel
d1t09 4:46  2 <0.001s bursts in R channel which were replaced with L channel
        d1t10 0:15  1 DO
d2t03 3:57  2 DOs - smoothed out static before DOs
d2t07 0:02  1 DO

mjk5510 NOTES: 
--Known Faults:  "Footprints":  splice at start
--Welcome to Volume 51 of our master series featuring the master recordings of dime member "tapetyrant". The series will predominately feature captures in the Northeast and Southern California areas. We will touch on multiple genres with a strong focus on Jazz Fusion, New Wave and Rock.
--Tapetyrant was an active taper in the 1980's and much of the 1990's before, like many of us, hanging up the mics. What he captured during that time is uniformly excellent quality and his master tapes have been safely stored, the first batch are in pristine condition. Some shows may circulate from lower generation copies but most have remained uncirculated until now and have never circulated directly from the masters.
--Prior to DAT, the heavy lifting was entirely done by a Sony D5 with NAK 300's and taping was serious business, acquiring the best seats possible and working to keep neighbors in check.
--Volume 51 features the third Squeeze show in the series, this time out we present a completely uncirculated show at the Beacon Theatre in support of the 1991 release "Play".
--TapeTyrant had excellent seats that may have actually been too close for the stage set up.
--The sound is clear but is missing the up close pull directly from the PA possibly going overhead.
--Don't let that stop you though, it's highly listenable and the usual fantastic Squeeze top tier performance.
--Thanks as always to Goody for the continued pitch guidance on all of our releases, they wouldn't be nearly as good without the guidance.
--Continued thanks to "tapetyrant" for doing such a great job capturing these important shows, for reaching out and entrusting me to present his excellent work for all to enjoy for decades to come. We are indebted to his generosity (tapers don't let those tapes and your hard work get lost to the ages, there are plenty of folks to get in touch with here to help get them out, we're all working to leave no tape behind).
--Artwork and samples included.

mjk5510 and tapetyrant 

vanillag NOTES (1/24/2023): 
--Super BIG Thanks to TapeTyrant for recording & sharing this Squeeze 1991 show & to mjk5510 for the transfer & share & to goody for his part in the pitch process.  Absolutely appreciated & does sound very nice!! 
--this was the first of 2 nights at the Beacon for Squeeze (10/16 & 10/17)
--the Candyskins opened the show 
--I corrected some of the song titles toward how they appear on the original albums
--added the band members info & some more detail to the setlist
--added the ffp fingerprints to the text file 
--added more detail to the venue info

I consider it a "diary". And, actually there was a response when I played a jet aircraft at 117 DB. I responded to the fellow who made the post , but he perhaps didn't read my response to his.

The question you raise could be asked about anything in life.  :D

There are 2 other known sources of this show. The one sounds horrible but is complete, the other sounds decent
but the first song is mostly missing. This source I got from the guy who taped it who traded me for a copy of
one of the other sources I had to compare them. He sent this one back to me saying he thought it was better.
He is correct as this sounds quite good, and is complete too.

vanillag NOTES (1/23/2023): 
--Thanks so much to Karl Bremer for recording & sharing this Dave Mason 1986 show & to mossa for the transfer & the sharing it far & wide for all of us.  Absolutely Appreciated & sounds amazing!! 
--I added more detail to the band members info & setlist info
--corrected some song titles toward how they appear on the original albums
--discovered the previously unknown title of t05
--Wish that I could add more detail to the venue info, but I can't uncover anything more about it online...possible that this went down at Nicollet Island Pavilion on 40 Power Street, but that is only an educated guess.  Also, it definitely sounds like it was outdoors (based on the 'air' in the sound around them) & Nicollet Island Pavilion seems to be an indoor venue (based on the picture I saw).  If anyone has any recollection where exactly this took place, won't you be so kind as to let us aLL know?? 
--This was broadcast live on KTCZ-FM, Minneapolis-St.Paul

(I don't remember the source & venue for this one, I think I have recorded it from an FM radio).


Now this is really rare, and I'm pleased to share this piece of history !!!

Here is a quote by Claude Nobs, founder of the Montreux Jazz Festival :
"At that time, in parallel with the Montreux Jazz Festival, which I founded in 1967, I was organising other concerts throughout the year and, in 1972, I was fortunate enough to welcome The Mahavishnu Orchestra. A concert that took place at the Pavillon some eight months after the fire at the Montreux Casino. To my great regret, this concert was not recorded"
So this is the concert missing in the John McLaughlin at Montreux box set. It may not have been recorded on a multi-track machine, but it was indeed recorded to two tracks, by the Swiss National Radio.
This recording was given to me about 28 years ago I guess, by someone who used to work at the radio station, and who is now dead. They're supposed to keep everything at the radio station (and I've been told they are in the process of transferring old tapes to digital media), but sometimes they lose recordings, or they get stolen... So my copy may be the only one STILL IN EXISTENCE, and it's also possible it's never been broadcast. It's the full concert as it seems. I remember the electric power went down during the concert, but I don't remember at which point it happened.

What else can I say ? The concert really took place a little more than 30 years ago, I was about to turn 17, and I attended it.  At the time, I think I only knew John McLaughlin from the Tony Williams Lifetime / Turn it Over LP, and from his Devotion album.
Listening to the tape, you'll only get a vague idea of how GREAT this concert truly was ! To me the music was so new, so fresh and innovative, most people in the audience were smilling !  Still one of the best concerts I attended in my whole life !
I remember reading a John McLaughlin interview in a magazine, in which he said this one concert had been particularly good. Also there was a yoga convention taking place in the same building at the time, and he said he thought there was kind of a vibe in the whole building for that reason. As an aspiring (and now pro) drummer, it was also the first time I'd heard Billy Cobham, and that was a real inspiration ! Like I said, at a point during the concert the electric power went down, and Billy took a long solo without the P.A. to entertain us during the break.

About the fire at the Montreux Casino, which happened during a Frank Zappa concert about eight months before, I also attended it, but that's another story !

"Faster Jersey 1975" (LLP)

Sound Quality Scale (G+ VG- VG VG+ EX- EX EX+ SUP- SUP)

Rating EX/EX-

Pink Floyd
Roosevelt Stadium
Jersey City, New Jersey
June 15th, 1975

IMHO this has the best speed, a fuller sound than the master, and a clearer sound than Jersey Not Mother. Enjoy.

Notes:
cass[master]>DAT clone>cdr>Flac>Wav > ACL2005>CDR>EAC>FLAC

The master was audibly slow, significantly. If you have difficulty hearing speed/pitch, then just compare specific beginning notes with end notes for predictable tracks like "Breathe (Reprise)" and "Have A Cigar" from the unrevised 6-15-75 master with 6-16-75 and 6-17-75. It is now approximately 5% faster than the master clone and about 1.5% faster than Jersey Not Mother.

Though the master had a clear sound it was very thin. This was due to the phasing being off. I simply inverted the left channel which gave it a much fuller sound.

Corrected the odd tracking in the middle of Dark Side. Reduced or eliminated some mic taps and some loud fireworks pops. Fireworks mostly reduced during the "Shine On" quiet sections. Definitely not near all. On D1-Tr6 from about 6:39 to 7:21 and a bit around 10:16 and 10:55 there is some sort of digital noise that sounds like fireworks but is not.  I applied a declicker filter which diminished the diturbance without effecting the SQ. There was a small fade, probably a tape flip, just before Money. I removed a small bit of silence but kept the micro-fade. EQ:Boosted very slightly in the 60-600hz range.

Joni Mitchell
Club 47
Cambridge, Mass.
January 1968 (date unknown - but labeled as the 10th, which is commonly used for this recording.)

performance quality: B+
recording quality: B+
source: FM broadcast tape, possibly from a vinyl boot LP
runtime: 65:07

02. Night In The City
03. Gift Of The Magi
04. I Had A King
05. Morning Morgantown
06. Ballerina Valerie

13. The Way It Is
14. The Dawntreader

original comments from glasnostrd19 in 2009:

A real early solo acoustic show with Joni Mitchell. This is the earliest Joni I've ever heard and she already had her distinctive vocal style.  She does a bit of talking between some of the tunes, I didn't bother to seperate the talk into its own tracks as some like to do. I've had this tape for years, no idea of its lineage, there is likely a better source for this out there somewhere but this is quite listenable for a 41 year old analog recording. it does have one rather annoying but very brief speed problem in the source recording (or transfer between that and my copy), otherwise the recording is pretty good, especially for this early date, and Joni sounds fine.

Almost all the other Joni Mitchell I listen to is from 76 w/ the L.A. Express and 79 w/ Metheny/Pastorious/Alias group, but some of this is nice to hear now and then. If I wasn't more interested in jazz and rock music, I'd listen to this alot more. It's classic Joni.

If you haven't heard this (apparently parts of 2 sets) and like Joni Mitchell's unique songwriting and performance style, you will enjoy hearing this. I don't know how many generations my tape of this is, but there's only a little bit of tape noise. I have not done any processing of this except to balance the levels out, DC offset where needed, and a couple of splices to smooth out abrupt endings. I don't know how close to complete this is, but all the songs here are uninterrupted.

Joni played a run of shows at Club 47, the only date in etree is Jan 10th, that setlist order does not match here. It does sound like track 1 may not be the opening song, hard to tell since there's no stage introduction in the recording.

Do not sell this recording.
Trade freely and losslessly.

-------------------------------------

Since June 2005 this collection has appeared seven times (now eight) at Dime. There were speed problems, dropouts and sector boundary errors along the way, as well as possibly different source tapes and/or tinkering with the sound.

This file set was originally seeded at Dime on Mon 12th Jan, 2009 by glasnostrd19, and doesn't appear on the bot list after that.

It is not the speed-corrected version by Randall, seeded in 2007. According to one comment, this version has 'more hiss and more bass though it would be going too far to describe it as "muffled" by comparison'. If somebody could reseed that version it would be nice to be able to compare.

This reseed has new txt, ffp and md5 files, and the SBEs were fixed - all with xACT.

This is the boot commonly known as "By The Banks of the River Charles". It has four never-released Joni songs: "Gift of the Magi," "Ballerina Valerie", "The Way it Is" and "Come to the Sunshine".

Reseeded at Dime: April 2012

Notes:

- This is an aud in every sense of the word. The sound is a little distant, and
there are a fair number of flaws. From what I can gather, it's the best source out
there at this time. A great show for sure!!

- Huge thanks to Freekjazz for the excellent source tapes, Derek McCabe for the transfer,
and Paul (Slimus2006) for the edit.

- Notes From The Editor: This was a very uneven recording.  The levels varied
considerably throughout the recording, these have been corrected as much as possible. 
There were several major flaws in some areas that sound like an intermittant connection
problem, these were smoothed out to a level where they barely interfere with the
recording.  There is also one minor speed variation which has been left.

On May 18th & 19th 1973 Pink Floyd played 2 sell out gigs at Earls Court (London). The
audience was estimated at 18,000 for each night. Many bands had failed to fill Earls Court
in the past and the previous week, David Bowie had trouble pulling a crowd at the same
venue. The question at the time was 'could anybody fill Earls Court?'. The Floyd of course
proved it could be done, not once but two nights in a row! All proceeds from these concerts
went to 'Shelter'.

Set list:
Obscured By Clouds/When You're In
Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun
Careful With That Axe, Eugene
Echoes
Dark Side Of The Moon suite
One Of These Days (encore)

The Friday night show (18th) was the first time Floyd used the crashing plane effect during
a performance of Dark Side Of The Moon.

Floyd were accompanied by Dick Parry on sax and three female backing vocalists.

JEMS NOTES: 
--Known Faults:  "Big Eyes":  joined slightly in progress
--Introduction to the Lost and Found Mike the MICrophone Series
--Welcome to JEMS’ Lost and Found Mike the MICrophone series presenting recordings made by legendary taper Mike Millard, AKA Mike the MICrophone, best known for his masters of Led Zeppelin done in and around Los Angeles circa 1975-77. For the complete details on how tapes in this series came to be lost and found again, as well as JEMS' long history with Mike Millard, please refer to the notes in Vol. One: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=500680.
--Until 2020, the Lost and Found series presented fresh transfers of previously unavailable first-generation copies made by Mike himself for friends like Stan Gutoski of JEMS, Jim R, Bill C. and Barry G. These sources were upgrades to circulating copies and in most instances marked the only time verified first generation Millard sources had been directly digitized in the torrent era.
--That all changed with the discovery of many of Mike Millard’s original master tapes.
--Yes, you read that correctly, Mike Millard’s master cassettes, long rumored to be destroyed or lost, have been found. Not all of them but many, and with them a much more complete picture has emerged of what Millard recorded between his first show in late 1973 and his last in early 1993.
--The reason the rediscovery of his master tapes is such a revelation is that we’ve been told for decades they were gone. Internet myths suggest Millard destroyed his master tapes before taking his own life, an imprudent detail likely concocted based on the assumption that because his master tapes never surfaced and Mike’s mental state was troubled he would do something rash WITH HIS LIFE’S WORK. There’s also a version of the story where Mike’s family dumps the tapes after he dies. Why would they do that?
--The truth is Mike’s masters remained in his bedroom for many years after his death in 1994. We know at least a few of Millard’s friends and acquaintances contacted his mother Lia inquiring about the tapes at the time to no avail. But in the early 2000s, longtime Millard friend Rob S was the one she knew and trusted enough to preserve Mike’s work.
--The full back story on how Mike’s master tapes were saved can be found in the notes for Vol. 18 Pink Floyd, which was the first release in our series transferred from Millard’s original master tapes:

--Cheap Trick, Long Beach Arena, Long Beach, CA, December 31, 1977: 
--This week, the Mike Millard way-back machine takes us to New Year's Eve 1977, where if you had been sitting in the Long Beach Arena, you would have caught a double bill of Cheap Trick and Kansas.
--It might sound like an odd pairing in hindsight, but both bands were under the CBS/Epic Records umbrella, and in those days it was not uncommon for label mates to take an opening act slot. Cheap Trick had released their debut album in February and its follow up, In Color, a mere seven months later. With their domestic breakthrough still a couple of years away, the band were in classic road warrior mode, opening for other bands hoping to build up a fanbase.
--How many fans of Kansas' prog-rock meets AOR-anthem style would succumb to Cheap Trick's power pop brilliance is hard to say, but it wouldn't be for lack of trying. The Pride of Rockford turns in a punchy set, rocking pretty damn hard for 40 minutes. --They preview "High Roller" which would come out on their third album, Heaven Tonight, in 1978, along with their memorable cover of "Ain't That a Shame" which would be famously memorialized on Live at Budokan.
--While we don't have Mike's ticket stub for this one, we can tell from the recording of this and the Kansas set (which can't be shared here) that Mike was in his sweet spot. The Cheap Trick capture is strong and presumably one of the better audies of the band from 1977. Samples provided.   

####
--JEMS is proud to partner with Rob, Jim R, Barry G and others to release Millard's historic recordings and to help set the record straight about the man himself.
--We can’t thank Rob enough for reconnecting with Jim and putting his trust in our Millard reissue campaign. He kept Mike’s precious tapes under wraps for two decades, but once Rob learned of our methods and stewardship, he agreed to contribute the Millard DATs and cassettes to the program. Our releases would not be nearly as compelling without Jim’s memories, photos and other background contributions. As many of you have noted, the stories offer an entertaining complement to Mike’s incredible audio documents.
--Once again, thanks to Goody for pitch checking this one.
--Unflinching post-production support via mjk5510. We're all lucky to have his valuable time devoted to releasing so much music. 
--Finally, cheers to the late, great Mike the MICrophone. His work never ceases to impress. May he rest in peace.
--BK for JEMS 

vanillag NOTES (1/27/2023): 
--BIG, Big Molto Grazie to Mike Millard, JEMS, Rob, Jim R, Ed F, Barry G, goody, and mjk5510 (& anyone else) for their generosity and this 1977 Cheap Trick show.  Absolutely Appreciated!!

vanillag NOTES (1/25/2023): 
--BIG UP, much thanks & Jah Love to whomever originally recorded this 1988 Jimmy Cliff show.  Also much Jah Love to Jeremiah's friend for rescuing these tapes from the thrift store, Jeremiah for sending them to dubwise &, of course, dubwise for transferring & sharing them with us all.  Absolutely Appreciated & sounds very, very tasty!! 
--"Wild World" (t06) actually begins in the last 9 seconds of t05 (previous track) 
--I corrected some song titles toward how they appear on the original albums
--I added the band members info...this was not easy to research & discover, mind you...Jimmy does indeed announce them during the last 47 seconds of "Treat the Youths Right" (t14), but his patois & rhythm of speech still made this not so easy...but through determination, patience, multiple listens & cross-referencing research online, I am confident that I got them all correct.  If anyone knowns otherwise on these cats, please chime in. 
--I combed thru, researched & added the setlist info (thanks to dime user blackpage for the initial offering toward that info)
--added more detail to the venue info
--created an ffp checksum file

Crosby,Stills,Nash and Young
1987-02-06 2nd show
Arlington Theatre, Santa Barbara, CA, USA
Greenpeace Benefit


This show was the forerunner to the recording of the American Dream album.
Neil promised David to work with him again if he left the drugs alone, he kept his word.
There were two shows that evening, the first one being a little shorter,
and my copy of the second show sounded better.

This one comes from a 4th generation analoge cassette.
The tape 45'\90'ends were glued together to get a flowing set. Here and there some gaps and holes were fixed.
There is one gap in Changing Partners which I couldn't fix properly, so I left it in. The first few seconds of Southern Man are missing
Beside some hiss reduction no adjustments were made to my original tape.

lineage: 4th generation analoge tape played through a Pioneer S430S >> EDirol SD card >> PC
Editing with Adobe Audition

An all acoustic performance by the great foursome with some nice surprises in the setlist.
First of all an unreleased Crosby tune called 'He's An American', Nash his great song 'Try To find Me'
and a seldom heard acoustic performance of 'Mideast vacation' by Young.
But what really stands out is the great singing and performing, they're in fine form here[check out This Old Huose]
A joy to listen to.
Check it out.

In the files you can find a few pictures, found on the net.
Also included a scan of the review of the show from the Rolling Stone march 26 1987.

Well here's my recording from the Philly stop. One of the versions of Stratus of heard! (with all due respect to Billy Cobham and Tommy Bolin).  I saw the setlist and Scatterbrain was listed...did I miss something???

The cut in Harpua is unfortunate. It was at the end of the first
set cassette and I'm not sure why it wasn't there. It went right
from the Weekapaug to what you have here.

The filler represents the missing portion of 4/8/90 to pair with
Jeff Goldberg's excellent 141666 seed, albeit with a tape flip.
The flip occurs prior to the Goldberg conclusion, so a nice crossfade
can be done and the flip forgotten. The 1st generation copy used to
supply this "should" sound similar, but it doesn't. Here's why.

Eric recorded all of the Spring Colorado 1990 run, and May 23,24,and 30 1990
in the Southeast. He used an Aiwa double well auto-reverse consumer deck.
Eric liked to run low levels, religiously. With the low levels, the
signal to noise level is poor.....you needed a certain amount of gain with
the 1990 board to get everything. Eric seemed to figure this out, a bit, as
things went along. His Southeast tapes sound a little better.

The tape heads were not particularly clean and probably were not
demagnetized. Occurring in tandem with auto-reverse record mode
usually makes for poor results with one side sounding muddier than the other.
There was also a fairly significant level discrepancy between channels on
these tapes as well - I'm not exactly sure what that was about. These and
other issues were corrected in the 24bit realm.   

Nevertheless, Eric was a cool taper. He did things that other tapers didn't
do....he recorded long intros and outros, including capturing the house P.A.
music pre and post-show. He recorded soundchecks. Eric's favorite songs
were Lizards and No Dogs Allowed, which the band played for him at 4/21/90.

this was a really hot show for them, Chet Helms showed up in the audience and we can only speculate may have added some support in the break between sets; on cd2t4 near the end of this mind blanking jam we saw Barry checking his watch just before he started the closing set of vocals for the song I guess maybe to see whether time had actually stopped

REMASTERED VERSION

Digital Master Recording
Recorded from Front of Board Center
Orchestra Row PP, Seat 509

DPA 4021's > Marantz PMD-660 (Oade BCM) > 16bit 44.1 .wav >
Soundforge (level boosts and balance, softening and some removal
of audience noise, EQ, set fades) > CDWave 1.95 (tracking) > Flac
Frontend (level 7, align sector boundaries) > flac

The original flac files of this concert were uploaded to dimeadozen within
3 hours of the end of the concert.  In the rush to uplaod, no post-production
work was done on the original wav file, which was a mistake.

For the remaster, I extracted the original master wav file from its archive disc
(no errors).  In Soundforge 8.0, I boosted and balanced the levels, which were
simply too low on the master.  I smoothed, softened, or removed dozens of
instances of crowd noise--close clapping, shouts, screams, and the like. 
Additionally, I equalized by boosting the highs, which were muffled either in
the PA system, or because of the mesh hat where the DPA mics were mounted. 
The results of this remaster job have created a drastic improvement of the
quality of this recording.

Pink Floyd
Blindness (Sigma 5)
Falkoner Centret, Copenhagen, Denmark
November 12th, 1970

Sigma 5 Silver > Secure EAC Wav > Flac
 

Disc 1:  Astronomy Domine, Fat Old Sun, Cymbaline, Atom Heart Mother

 

Disc 2:  Green Is The Colour, Careful With That Axe Eugene,
Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun, A Saucerful Of Secrets, The Embryo


From Bootleg Encyclopia on the Web:

Two tape sources exist for Pink Floyd’s November 12th, 1970 show at the Falkoner Centret
in Copenhagen in common circulation.  The first tape is very clear and powerful.  It starts
with Roger Waters’ opening greeting and runs through to the first part of “A Saucerful Of
Secrets.”  A second audience recording is expertly edited in for the rest of that track and
for the final song of the evening “The Embryo.”  The second tape source is good to very good
but very distant from the stage.  It clearly isn’t as good as the first, but is more than
adequate to give a complete aural picture of the entire concert.  Highland released the
excellent but incomplete tape in 1999 on Copenhagen Sequence (HL 291/292).  There is some
discussion about what tape Highland use to complete the release; some claim it is the
November 20th 1971 Cincinnati tape, but in reality it is the tape from the concert previous
to Copenhagen on November 11th, 1970 in Gothenburg, Sweden.  Several years ago Copenhagen
1970 Complete (Ayanami-226) was released editing together both sources to present the whole
show.  Blindness follows the paradigm of the Ayanami by using the excellent sounding tape
and introducing the lesser quality tape in a seamless edit two minutes into “A Saucerful Of
Secrets.”  The excellent quality recording sounds beautiful.  It isn’t too shrill and
captures amazing detail of the events on stage including the subtle sounds of chirping
birds during “Green Is The Colour.”  There are some minor volume dropouts throughout the
set, and there are some speed problems during the first couple minutes “Atom Heart Mother”
due to the tape running close to the end of the side.  After a tape flip 6:35 into the song
that problem clears up.   

 

The band’s performance is a pristine example of latter day psychedelia.  Not in the
drugged-out, mind expanding ethic, but in the art of never musically stating the obvious
and producing music filled with suggestive ideas without nailing anything down.  The
lyric “when I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse / out of the corner of my eye /
I turned to look but it was gone” is a perfect verbal summation of Floyd’s musical modus
operandi during this time.  The tape begins with two seconds of crowd noise and
unidentified music at the very beginning, probably from what the taper used the tape
for before recording Pink Floyd.  There is silence as the band tune and Waters greets
the audience with a low key “good evening” before launching into “Astronomy Domine.” 
This Syd Barrett space song sometimes sounds very dorky in performance, but by this
time, and the delivery in Copenhagen, has an overtone of the sinister and dread. 
The audience is dead quiet throughout the performance and one can only imagine what
they were thinking.  “Fat Old Sun,” due to Gilmour’s golden tenor, sounds gorgeous
but he has terrible trouble hitting the high notes in the following song “Cymbaline.” 
His voice cracks while singing “it’s hiiiiigggggggghhhhhhh time / Cymbaline.”  The
taped interlude is also difficult to hear in this recording.  Before “Atom Heart Mother”
Waters says, “We've got a new album out, one side of which is called ‘Atom Heart Mother’
and which has a choir on it and some brass people.  Brass instruments.  And there's a
version of it that we do without the brass and choir. We're gonna end first half of this
concert with that.”

 

What follows is a dramatic, eighteen-minute version of their epic.  The second half of
the set begins with the “Green Is The Colour” segue with “Careful With That Axe, Eugene.”
 
The former serves as a relaxing, pastoral introduction to the blood curdling chaos of the
latter and this small set piece is the last vestige of the “Man And A Journey” suite
attempted the previous year but abandoned.  Gilmour especially goes crazy after the scream
in “Eugene” spitting out nasty heavy metal riffs over the meandering keyboards.  Before
the final number Waters says, ”The powers that be tell me that our first set too long so
we've got, this is going to have to be our last number, I'm afraid, and it's called 'A
Saucerful Of Secrets'.”  This is a great performance even after the tape switch with the
more poor quality audio only enhancing the effectiveness of the dolorous church choir in
the "Celestial Voices" section towards the end of the piece.  At the song's conclusion
the audience can only respond with polite applause.  The band have time for one encore and
play an eight minute version of “The Embryo,” one of their greatest live pieces.  There
isn’t much in the way of improvisation, but Wright plays a lyrical keyboard motif beneath
the “seabird” screeching in the songs middle.  Since this only their fifth release in as
many months, Sigma takes their time with their releases, carefully mastering and sculpting
each release to as close as perfection as possible.  Blindness is packaged in a double
slimline jewel case with glossy inserts with relevant photos from the era with the cover
design being particularly attractive.  It is limited to three hundred copies and even
though it is only the second silver release of this tape, stands as definitive.  (GS)

This was a 4 day festival and it had an attendance of 35,000.

Melanie played on the first day, Thursday. She is also playing with a full band.

On a side note:

It was about this time that Melanie became a Scientologist.

Recently the Church of Scientology has given her an award called the "2015 peaceful revolution award".

All this will come out in her new book being written by herself and Craig Harris to be released in the beginning of 2016.

I've added in a couple pictures.  A poster and a stage photo from this festival.

This is a very rare and unique audience recording.

It's the only live recording to surface from Melanie's 1991 tour.

There are several rarely heard songs performed during this tour.

She mentions the owner of the venue and makes a reference to the name as being The Antique Capo.

I wasn't able to verify the venue.

The tape flip is between tracks 12 and 13.  No music missing.

The tape was flipped a little early, so there was just 83 minutes of tape used,

this caused the taper to miss the ending of the show. 

Melanie introduces her children onstage. 

They perform on drums, bass and background vocals.

Here's another super rare Melanie recording.

The taper ran levels a bit hot during the first 3 songs, then the levels were lowered and it sounds much smoother.

I've balanced the volume, so there isn't any volume swells.

There is a tape flip between tracks 8 and 9, fades on both.

There is a tape pause between 9 and 10, fades on both.

After 'Brand New Key', you hear Melanie introduce the next song 'I'm Back In Town' and then the tape ends.

I'm sure the rest of it was recorded,  it just didn't fit on this 90 min tape.

This has a bunch of songs I'd never heard before, including a cover of Jimi Hendrix's 'Purple Haze'.

I've included a newspaper article written in 1974, which makes for some interesting reading.

The reviewer doesn't know what to make of Melanie and questions her supposed talent and appeal.

Thanks again to BR for supplying the tape.

Melanie Safka was a popular singer-song writer and acoustic guitar player during the late 60's through the 70's.

She had performed at many well known events such as 1969 Woodstock and Glastonbury Festival in June 1971.

The Isle of Wight Festival in August 1970, where she was introduced by Keith Moon and received four standing ovations.

Melanie set the record for the first female performer to have three Top 40 hits concurrently.

She was awarded Billboard's #1 Top Female Vocalist award for 1972.

By 1973, Melanie retreated from the spotlight to start a family, her daughter was born the same year.

She returned In 1976, released one album on Atlantic Records, titled "Photograph".

Melanie continued to perform and release albums through the rest of her career.

On this night Melanie performs over 2 hours and sings her unique cover of the Rolling Stones' "Ruby Tuesday".

She does tell a funny story about her song "Brand New Key" when it was being recorded.

Consequently it was also banned on some radio stations, for presumably having unintended sexual innuendo.

Which was completely unfounded. Just goes to show you how morally conserative the radio world was in the 1970's.

There is a quick tape flip during track 8 @ 2:01 min.

Another tape flip after Track 14. No music missing.

Otherwise this is complete.

Grab this up and take home a rare and unigue piece of folk history.

3 camera shot.  A fine Coop master tape supplemented with two additional cameras. D667.msu is of my favorite DVD Dylan videos of all time.  I don't think it's a mistake that DVDylan rates it 5 stars.  I love this show. 

"Special thanks to "The Ghost" for filming and making D667.m available for DIME download and to Crystal Cat and OutsideTheLaw for providing the audio.

This is one of my favorite Tull boots... here is the info as I got it originally. Many thanks to all who madde this boot possible.

Sound quality is a strong 8 or 9/10. Sounds like a SBD to me as crowd noise is present but in the background. Perhaps taped for an FM broadcast? A good mixture of newer and older stuff. Personally I loved the 'Jobson' era, as short lived as it was.

Enjoy.

The original version to flac had track fade in & outs, but it doesn't really detract from the quality of the show.

This was dated as June 26, but setlist.fm has this as June 23.  I'm not sure what the correct date is.

I also re-tracked it and fixed the set list.

At the time of this concert Whitney had been married to Bobby Browne for about 2 years and Bobby joins in on the final song.

Whitney Houston passed on February 11, 2012, aged 48.

Notes:

- A fine Blingtip recording. This was really the most exposure I've had to John Hammond.
After listening, I will certainly be looking for more. This is a very nice pull with a great
natural feel and lots of ambiance from the small venue. There are some absolutely wonderful
classic blues songs in this set list that are performed with just the right amount of feeling
to make them feel genuine. It takes a lot for an artist to convey feelings the way John
does here through music. Not much was done to this one. DC Offset was corrected, slight EQ
and a few very minimal plugins to add flavor. A very nice source of a very inspiring artist.

huge thanks to tieditriptip for capturing another fantastice moment!!

Note: Broadcast date was 2005-11-27.

Additional notes related to Japanese content:

1) The program format of “Session 505” usually began with the featured artist playing their own interpretation of Duke Ellington’s composition, “C Jam Blues.” Session 505 ran for 494 broadcasts from 1999-03-13 to 2010-03-28 with Moko Ogawa as the program announcer.

2) After C Jam Blues, program announcer Moko Ogawa introduced the band beginning with band leader, Yutaka Shiina. Born in Tokyo in 1964, Shiina began studying piano at the age of three, and entered Kunitachi College of Music in 1982, and played professionally throughout his student years. Shiina eventually traveled to New York City, and as of this 2005-11-20 performance, had released five albums as a band leader, as well as having played on many other musicians’ albums. This concert was part of a 2005 fall tour with this band.

3) Track seven, “When the Saints Come Marching In,” is followed by announcer Ogawa’s recap of the song titles performed, along with Ogawa’s impressions of the band’s brightness of rhythm; ending with the upcoming schedule of performances and how to apply for tickets.

One Disc

1. //AC/DC Bag
2. Fluffhead
3. Sneaking Sally Through The Alley
4. Divided Sky
5. Wilson

6. Lushington >
7. Possum
8. Big Black Furry Creature From Mars
9. Makisupa Policeman
10. Timber Ho!
11. Shaggy Dog
12. You Enjoy Myself//

Notes: Interesting early soundboard. AC/DC cuts in and sounds muddy at first, then the
sound clears up. Minimal hiss. Whoever is doing sound (Paul?) is "soloing" as he mixes and
this is picked up in spots on the recording. (for example he solos Page, and all you can hear is
piano, or he'll solo Mike, and all you can hear is bass.) This goes on throughout the entire recording.
It was likely caused by the feed from the soundboard, and there was no way to correct it.
Bowie is listed on setlists, but is missing from this recording, and YEM gets cut about 5 minutes in and the
rest is missing to history.
More of a gap filler than anything,  rare and kind of obscure.
Enjoy!

Notes:

- D1t04 ends with the Bob Garrity announcement being cut short

- This source has amost all the Bob Garrity announcements that were cut
from the previously seeded LL62. The bass doesn't sound to be quite so muddy, and
the hiss seems a little less prominent. Another fine upgrade.

-"The Charlie Parker Quartet, the Dizzy Gillespie Group, and the Bud Powell Trio were
all booked at Birdland May 16-26; Parker remained (opposite Ella Fitzgerald) through
June 3. Davis replaced Gillespie on this night (Gillespie was probably still in Toronto
where he'd taken part in the Massey Hall concert with Charlie Parker, Bud Powell,
Charles Mingus, and Max Roach). Davis joined Gillespie as a second trumpet one week
later (May 23)." -Credit to Peter Losin http://www.plosin.com/

Notes:
Here's a little gem from Beck's "Sea Change" tour.  HP recorded this out in La Jolla
& brought it back east as beautiful raw material which was then 'beefed up' for the
enjoyment of all.  This was back in the day when I would just 'jack down' the loud
crowd at the end of a song instead of using the 'wavehammer' but it still was done
democratically & non-intrusively.  Also, a sweet EQ was done to boost the bottom
and the music itself was jacked up around 28db!!  A nice show from this tour--the
"No Expectations" is especially sweet.
 
The material from "MB Eclectic" was also EQ'd to bring out its true sheen.
****This Bonus material is in glorious MONO--if you have the sweet copy of this
in stereo, feel free to seed it & hook everyone(me, too) with an even better version****

Hope you all dig this as much as I have!!

Notes: Antonia Bennett opened the show. Missed maybe her first three songs. I forgot to push record. Doh! Realigned the mics a few times, which created mic bumps. Most fixed by briefly swapping the other channel, but a couple small bumps remain. Track 27 is just the band playing as Tony walked on and off to applause and shook hands with the front row. Big thanks to bcironmaiden for letting me include his recording from the night before of Billy Joel singing New York State of Mind with Tony.

I renamed the files according to:

Same recording as LB-2476 w/ different tracksplits and does not have the flaws in Maggies Farm. Track transitions do not sound entirely seamless. Did not listen to all of this. Excellent sound, [A-].

Source:  FM (WLIR broadcast)

Sound Quality:  Excellent/very good (A grade). 

Lineage:  FM > ?? > CDr > EAC (Secure/offset corrected) > CDWave (track split)
> Click 'N Edit Sound LE > FLAC (L5/align on sector boundaries)


Set List
01 - Alien Chase on Arabian Desert
02 - Senor Mouse

04 - Al Di's Dream Theme
05 - Beyond the 7th Galaxy (Return to Forever)
06 - Dinner Music of the Gods
07 - Race With Devil on Spanish Highway/Jumpin' Jack Flash Jam

Editing Notes

Added fades to beginning and end of show
Added fades between tracks 6 & 7 to replace abrupt cuts
The source disc was burned TAO with gaps between the tracks.  Fixed this by taking CDImage with EAC, removing gaps
with Click N' Edit Sound LE and reindexing with CDWave.

No Artwork
Info file included in folder along with fingerprints and FLAC file test results

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An excellent sounding show from one of the forefathers of guitar fusion.  Al Di Meola cranks up the Les Paul and
delivers some jaw dropping solos and unison lines with Saisse on keys.  My favorite Al Di Meola show. 

This one definitely goes to 11!

Enjoy

notes:
This show is one of the best sounding from the japan run..
I still don't think this is complete it might even be a mix from a early and late show.
But the performance is still great..This might even be a board tape it sounds that good..
Tapes obtained in a trade from a green bay "Packers" fan..I was told this show was "no copy"
for years....there is fade out at the end of Jammin'  due to the tape flip..
No noise reduction or equalizing was done...
tape transfer done by me Tim Jones on 10-30-2005

ALLISON MILLER'S BOOM TIC BOOM
January 31, 2023

Dizzy's Club
Jazz at Lincoln Center
Broadway at 60th Street, 5th Floor
New York, NY 10019

ABOUT THE SHOW
An artist constantly pushing her expression in new directions, drummer-composer and educator Allison Miller has been leading her internationally acclaimed project Boom Tic Boom for more than a decade. In her music she creates meditative energy as well as a sense of urgency. WSJ critic Martin Johnson hails Miller’s band as having “a razor-sharp precision that recalls classic drummer-led ensembles of 50 years ago,” with “a diverse sonic palette that is unmistakably contemporary.” Boom Tic Boom’s Dizzy’s Club set features Dayna Stephens, Myra Melford, and Scott Colley.

PERFORMANCE LINEUP
Allison Miller, drums
Dayna Stephens, tenor, alto, soprano saxophones
Myra Melford, piano
Scott Colley, bass

Live Performance at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s intimate jazz lounge, Dizzy’s Club in New York City

David Bowie  - Soul Asylum
Date:15 February 1973

Venue: Radio City Music Hall, New York, USA

Musicians:
David Bowie, vocals, acoustic guitar,saxophone
Mick Ronson, guitar, backing vocals
Trevor Bolder, bass
Mick Woodmansey, drums
Mike Garson, keyboards, mellotron
Ken Fordham, alto, tenor and baritonesaxophone
John Hutchinson, rhythm guitar,backing vocals
Brian Wilshaw, tenor saxophone, flute
Geoffrey MacCormack, backing vocals,percussion

A lot going on on these two discs-- The New York show is a complete recording and sounds great. 
It's an audience recording and you often get a good sense of the crowd's excitement at seeing Ziggy on stage. 
The comments between some of the trax are great! 
The trax from "Alladin Sane" are particularly well done. 
On disc 2 there are some trax from the show at Kingston Polytechnic from May 6th 1972,
including versions of "I feel Free" and "Gotta Get a Job." 
After that there's a version of "John, I'm only dancing" from "Top of the Pops." 
Following this track on the actual "Soul Asylum" bootleg,
is the official version of "John, I'm only dancing (again)." 
I'm not torrenting this track for obvious reasons. 
If you want to recreate the "original" bootleg, you can always add it! 
The final track is Jean Genie taken from the NY show from the day before (Feb 14th '73).

Disc One
Ode To Joy,

Notes:
JEMS is proud to be able to partner with and present some of the choice recordings in the D & D archives. Some of these recordings have been around for years but none of the master tapes or safety copies in some cases have ever been digitized until now. Dave and Donn taped many shows in and around the Seattle area in the 70's and also were contemporaries of some of the JEMS members. Volume 24 is one of Dave's master recordings of Bonnie Raitt touring in support of her album Home Plate. This is an excellent sounding but slightly hissy recording. The fact that Bonnie Raitt was ignored by mainstream radio during this time is downright criminal as this recording will attest to. This is a great show and recording and should not be missed by anyone who even remotely likes music.

disc 1

d1t01. Stella by Starlight
d1t02. So What
 
-------------------------------------------------------

Notes:

- d1t01: There is a two second gap at he end of this track leading into the next.

- It looks as though this date also has joshua on record as being played. This track is
missing from this source.

- The sound is muffled and distant on this recording. The playing is very intmate and
subtle. A great specimen if you can forgive the mediocre sound of the recording.

- On their way to the Antibes Festival, the Davis played one night at the Théâtre du
Champs-Élysées. The fragment of "Joshua" is from a different source (and the tape is
slightly faster) than the other two titles. The Quintet must have played a
50-60 minute set, but this is all that has surfaced so far. - Credit to Peter Losin,

[ROGER: Thank you. Thank you. ...a new piece, and it's yet untitled, it's been a... and it's quite long so get comfortable.]

Notes from Adam Egert:  This was a benefit for Barak Obama and was planned in 2 days. It was attended by approximately 1000 people and the crowd thinned out by the time CN hit the stage... Bruce Hornsby and others played. Stay tuned for that one its like 4 songs or so.... I was 40 ft back and the sound was not great. They didn't compress the vocals at all so the dynamics were huge. It was hard to raise the levels much without squashing and distorting already distorted vocals....so the overall RMS is lower than I would like so crank it...

07 Bring It On Home

In the immortal lines of Luis Rey;
"Using the audience as a phenomenal cushion as Immigrant Song crashes
with genteel brutality over their heads".

Not as lyrical as Luis, in my own words;
"About 180 minutes of sonic perfection, as long as 1975 and 1977 shows, but with
much more dynamics and contrasts. This show (and Long Beach) can happily exist
next to How 'The West Was Won', I think."

Not to be misunderstood, this is the audience recording from the show
Jimmy used (the multitrack/mobile studio recording) to be part of
'How The West Was Won', which, if your downloading this should be in your collection

vanillag NOTES (2/3/2023): 
--Thanks so much to whomever originally recorded & shared out this the Radiators 1994 show & to mossa for the transfer & sharing of his copy far & wide for all of us.  Absolutely Appreciated!! 
--there's not very much missing at all from "Number Two Pencil" as it starts well before the first verse & still includes over 2&1/2 minutes of jamming before it even gets to those first lyrics
--I added more detail to the band members info & setlist info
--corrected some song titles toward how they appear on the original albums
--added more detail to the venue info 
--This venue no longer exists & I can't believe I found info on it & even pictures (especially since there was scant little to find on this place on an initial search & a generic name like "The Terrace" gets confused with so many other places & businesses of the same name, etc.), but thru sheer determination & cross-referencing detective work, I was successful...full history of it is in the link directly below, but the long & short of it is that it was built & began as "The Terrace" in 1951, then the "Villa Capri" in 1957, then "Terrace Club" in 1965, then hit hard financial times by the early 1970s & was rented out to the "Texas Opry House" in 1974, but a bounced check from them meant the venue did not make it to 1975.  So, it was dormant from 1975-1977 when the great Willie Nelson bought the entire Terrace Motor Hotel & Convention Center (with 300 rooms & two swimming pools!!) in May 1977 by assuming a million dollar note & handing over $5,000 in cash.  He & his partners worked like hell to overhaul the place & install 1800 seats & new paint job & such & re-opened as "Austin Opry House" on 1977-06-28 with Willie Nelson & Waylon Jennings kicking off opening night.  Place now included a recording studio called "Arlyn".  Things were all good until a former partner from the 1974 run of "Texas Opry House" sued them for trademark infringement & after a long trial & another cease & desist on using the 'Opry' name from Nashville’s "Grand Ol’ Opry", their hands were thrown up & in September 1978, the name was officially changed to "Austin Opera House", though everyone still just called it "the Opry House" & the ads for it retained the name & logo of "Austin Opry House" for another year or so.  Willie sold his majority share of the Opera House in 1988 & then the seating was pulled out & it was renamed “The Terrace” like the old days.  That lasted until sometime in 1995 when the building was sold to the YWCA (the link below claims the selling to the YWCA & the ending of the music shows there happened in 1993, but obviously that is not the case as this Radiators show went down in 1994 & I also see some SXSW shows that happened here in March of 1995...so sometime in 1995 or just after is when that sale to the YWCA would have taken place by my estimation).  Ownership changed hands a few times since then & apparently there was a proposal to go before City Council on 2022-01-27 to re-open the place as a music venue by reaching a compromise with the neighborhood where they would cut capacity there to only 1000 peeps...I don't know if that was successful or not. 
--https://michaelcorcoran.substack.com/p/austin-opryopera-house-the-peoples
--created an md5 checksum file

March - 2023:

About 20 years ago in 2003, I worked a little bit with Harry Popick, along regularly with Betty Cantor-Jackson at Glide Memorial Church in SF. [www.glide.org]

Betty and Harry both worked for the Grateful Dead in their careers. He as their monitor engineer from 1976-1995 and Betty as recording engineer and producer since 1968. Harry was also the sound engineer for the Jerry Garcia Band circa 1976 - 1986.

With Betty’s blessings, Harry one day gave me a couple of shoeboxes of Jerry Garcia Band soundboard masters, circa 1984-1986. Per her request, I held on to these or played copies as a dj for a weekly Grateful Dead Night at a place called "Nickie's" at 460 Lower Haight St in SF. But that was about it.

Recently while dusting a shelf, I noticed an old DAT of one these Jerry Garcia Band shows and I thought it's silly they’re still not in circulation.

Attached is a picture of Betty retrieving what I had left of those tapes as to store in her care[Early 2022]. The other is Harry at work on monitor sound.

Of the tapes, the ones from this box I transferred 24 bit via Nakamichi DR1 to Sound Devices MixPre6. The ones I did 20 years ago and then gave back to Betty, are 16-bit on DAT. Betty tends NOT to give back things she takes away so that is that.

I hope you enjoy! Cheers.

Notes:
Bob Marley & The Wailers closing night at the Apollo, an amazing run of seven
shows in four days.  The whole night accompanied by a fantastic horn section,
the band performs a unique show that's one of their best.  Several tremendous
moments await.  Undoubtedly, the Carly bassline and the fine horns, the rhythms
will take you on good travels.


Flaws:
Some hiss and buzz, probably from a cassette generation.  There's also a
bit of distortion due to the analog generational losses. 11 hits on Etree,
10 on Phishook, none lossless, only cd-da.  This is a secure EAC extraction
with logs included.  The source is indefinite, but is free of lossy compression
or noise reduction.  The buzz/hiss could potentially be remastered to a much
lower volume, as there are two extended periods of only noise between songs,
nearly 10s without applause.  Okay.  Feel Bob's spirit.  Lord I thank you.

t1   2:43  loud feedback in Positive Vibration... watch your volume.
t3   1:00  Subsecond cut in Heathen - two short static pulses.
t3   1:58  Static hiccup during Heathen guitar solo.
t7   -:--  The end of Crazy Baldhead is cut.
t8   3:57  Double clicks in Zimbabwe.
t8   -:--  At the very end of Zimbabwe, there's a source splice between songs.
t9   -:--  War is in mono, most likely a mixing issue.
t10  -:--  No More Trouble is also in mono.
t10  -:--  Exodous slowly returns to stereo at about midway.
t12  2:04  Double click in No Woman.
t12  3:11  Double click in No Woman.
t12  3:41  Double click in No Woman.
t12  4:15  Double click in No Woman guitar solo.
t12  4:35  Double click in No Woman guitar solo.
t12  -:--  Very short, subtle drop out between songs, 0.013s.
t13  2:06  Double click in Jammin.
t13  2:49  Double click in Jammin.
t13  3:35  Double click in Jammin.
t13  4:15  Double click in Jammin.

-Vocals a bit muffled in L channel
-Though the Phish Companion puts the set break after Golgi, it is pretty
  obvious when listening that there is no break due to the segue.  Also, I
  believe the set break is after GTBT since Trey states that they are going
  to take a short break and be right back.

Fixes:
-Applied Cool Edit hiss reduction based on noise floor sample at
  end of d2t04 (after cut-pure hiss, no music or background noise)

Audio Lineage: TDK SA90 + TDK SA60 x ½ > Denon DRM-500 deck > direct wire > iZotope RX2 denoiser for light hiss removal > Goldwave (> FLAC 4 for audio discs)
Menu: yes
Chapters: yes
Transfer Rate: 6mb/s
Format: PAL / 25fps
Audio: Dolby Digital Audio, 48 KHz, 2/0(L,R)
Aspect Ratio: 4:3 
Number of Discs: 3
Disc Type: DVD9 + 2 CDR
Total Running Time: DVD: 1:43:33; Disc 2 (audio): 57:48; Disc 3 (audio): 45:17

Notes:

All three sources are VHS tapes received from Andre F.  It's probably safe to assume that at least one of the full set vids was from betty07, but can't confirm.

Source 1: Middle distance, reasonable close-ups on zoom, but extensive use of the diamond screens to the side of the stage - which means that this is the primary source
Source 2: Back of the arena, grainy when zoomed, but good views of whole stage set for back-drop shots
Source 3: Excellent close-up footage - but unfortunately only 18 minutes in total

Audio fix notes for soundtrack:

Running a little fast, speed correction with a factor of 96.9875% to bring in line with video.
2 second piece in intro to Rebel Rebel fluttery - source 2 soundtrack dropped in to replace.
Tape flip gives gap between Fashion and Life On Mars?  Plugged with source 2 soundtrack.
First 11 seconds of Ziggy Stardust completely distorted.  Plugged with section from bofinken torrent, speed adjusted at 100.555% and derumbled using iZotope RX2 denoiser tool.
Corrupted segment at 1:53 in Station To Station (3 seconds) - Let's Dance repair from next repeat.
Tape flip at start of Suffragette City - seamless.
Gap in Fame around 40 seconds in.  14 second extract from bofinken torrent (fixed as above) dropped in to replace.

Additional audio fix notes for audio discs:

Flutter in Rebel Rebel fixed with two Let's Dance repairs from, respectively, following and previous lines.
Tape flip between Fashion and Life On Mars?  Fade out on Fashion crowd noise then mix crowd noise together.  Noticeable, but it'll do.
Volume reshaping to left channel from Life On Mars? to middle of Stay.
Major volume reshaping to right channel in Let's Dance from 32 to 43 seconds - muffled sound.
Start of Ziggy Stardust massively oversaturated.  iZotope RX2 declipper tool used to bring it to realistic levels, but distortion still there.
Volume reshaping on second part up to Suffragette City.

Notes:

- this is a clean recording, little hiss, audio frequencies out to ~ 20khz; there might be a bit of dc offset to the wav's

- d1t01: starts in progress;pop at 0:55;diginoise rch at 2:11

- d1t04: piano again sounds distorted; pop at 20:24; At end announcer says "Please, Miles Davis and his group. Now appearing here at the Fillmore next weekend will be Humble Pie.. "

- From Plosin's site: "The Davis Sextet opened for The Elvin Bishop Group and Mandrill for four nights at the Fillmore West, May 6-9 (Thursday-Sunday). Columbia probably recorded these shows, but they remain unissued. According to Wolfgang's Vault (http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/), which owns all of the surviving recordings from the Fillmores and has made some available on the web, this music is from May 7, though the version that's available online is also missing "Directions" and the beginning of "Honky Tonk.""

Talking Heads albums….
Psycho Killer (Live), Speaking in Tongues and And She Was

I have an app on my iPhone called Shazam which identifies songs on the radio. That confirmed a couple of songs as being from Talking Heads. So tonight I played a number of their songs and really enjoyed it. David Byrne’s voice is so unique and distinctive and I love listening to it.

This recording came to me back when I lived in Maryland, just outside the DC line,
and had the luxury of being able to see the Scene several times a year at the (new) Birchmere in Alexandria, VA. 
I got the recording on 2 CDRs, with each set being one long track on a CDR.  I got these from a friend of the taper.   
I have not seen this making the rounds at all, at least not on the torrent sites I frequent.  Since it is an
excellent show and the recording is sparkling, I thought I'd do the EAC, tracking, FLAC conversion, and then
share this with the LL community.  I used secure mode in EAC v0.95 beta 4, highest error recovery quality, and NO normalization. 
I did the tracking in CDWave Editor v1.71. 

Hope you all enjoy...and remember, unlike a lot of bands that get torrented here the
Scene still actively plays out (and the current lineup has been together a while and is tight!) so go on out and support them them
if you have the chance.  They are one of the best live bluegrass acts out there...sure to be enjoyed!

Disc 1
01 Immigrant Song
02 Heartbreaker
03 Since I've Been Loving You

Disc 2
01 Moby Dick
02 Whole Lotta Love Medley
03 Communication Breakdown
04 Rock And Roll
05 Bring It On Home

The first show of 1971, after recording their fourth album.
First live performance of Black Dog, Stairway To Heaven, Going To California, and Rock And Roll.
Great versions of Rock and Roll and Bring it on Home.

About the release name "911117": Gibson EDS1275 6/12 Double Neck. Made especially for Jimmy by the Gibson Custom Shop for playing Stairway to Heaven on-stage, serial number 911117. (Just in case you were wondering. )


There are three versions of this show:
"911117 (Tarantura2000), Black Helmet (Sharaku), & Black Velvet (Empress Valley)

EV was the first to release this show on cd. They have "completed" songs from different shows. EV doesn't bother to tell us that this is a multiple show mix.

Tarantura2000 is strictly from the one concert. The screeching sound (faulty tape recording equipment) that starts during Stairway has been carefully removed from this release.

"The band played to approximately 1200 people at the Ulster Hall. Now, for the first time ever, we can hear the show in all it's unabated glory. And what a show! The recording is slightly distorted as per many of the audience recordings of the time. However, it is very listenable and hugely enjoyable. Make no mistake about it, what you are hearing is Led Zeppelin at the very top of their game. Their hiatus from the live arena isn't evident for one second; quite the opposite in fact. The rest period appears to have charged Zeppelin's batteries to maximum capacity! The show seems to get better and better with repeated listening too. The band take to the stage and John Bonham settles in behind his kit. He hits the snare drum twice. One perpetual memory of an audience member interviewed for these liner notes reflects the ear-bleeding volume of these notes, literally shocking those around him who quickly became aware of what was about to come. Tonight's set kicks off with a bombastic Immigrant Song, crushing the audience with it's immense volume. A superb Heartbreaker follows, complete with a compact guitar solo and a wave of rhythmic clapping by the crowd who are already very loose! For sure, this concert is a must for any Robert Plant fan. He gives the show 110% and the unbelievable power of his amazing high pitched vocals is evident right from the start. No wonder they had to postpone the BBC 'Live In Concert' Paris Theater recording later that month! Next, Robert introduces 'Since I've Been Loving You' which is greeted by an almighty roar and more clapping to the beat from the Irish fans. Again, there are some great vocals in the last section and the taper's companion comments "That was pretty good wasn't it....?". After some comments about the 'toilet roll' set list and the positive feedback from the crowd, the first premiere of the evening follows. A full-on version of Black Dog complete with a mistake in the first instrumental passage; Well, the number is a musical conundrum after all! A reasonably short but brilliant Dazed And Confused only serves to increase the hysteria with Plant telling the audience to "SWEAT!!!!" during the spaced out section. The crowd show their appreciation during Jimmy's bow solo. For a long time, we have all wondered what the first ever public performance of 'Stairway To Heaven' must have been like. Well, wonder no more for now it can be heard. The recording is slightly cut and the band turn in a fairly standard rendition of the number with no real surprises. It has often been said that a deathly silence hung over the audience after this number, followed by a standing ovation. Not so, applause is offered immediately after the finale of this great opus. The only acoustic number of the night is another world first from Led Zeppelin IV; Going To California'. What follows is possibly one of the best ever live versions of 'What Is And What Should Never Be'. The band perform this number as if it were their last ever show. John Bonham utilizes the gong to great effect, seemingly trying to put a few dents in the damn thing during Jimmy's 'power chord' chops. The band are definitely firing on all six by now! Bonzo has already 'set his stall out' during the first half of the show but the percussion 'army' on display during Moby Dick has to be heard to be believed! One audience member remembers seeing the rest of the band drinking beer at the side of stage during this number, heckling Bonham mercilessly. He beckoned to them, hoping that they would return to finish the song. Bonzo breaks his sticks during Moby Dick, perhaps he was venting some frustration at his colleagues! His violent mood was to remain with him until the band reached Dublin where he picks a fight with Richard Cole and an angry hotel chef! Now into the 'home run', Led Zeppelin finish the main set with a compact 'Whole Lotta Love' medley. Jimmy's soaring and dipping theramin solo is followed by fantastic versions of Boogie Woogie, Honey Bee, Needle Blues and The Lemon Song. The finale has the crowd singing "Way...!" with all their might! Returning to the stage, Robert apologizes to the audience "for not playing here two and a half years ago...." and the band launch into a mental rendition of 'Communication Breakdown' complete with mid-section jam. At the end of the number, someone in the audience exclaims "Jesus Christ.....", an apt reflection of Zeppelin's amazing performance. Plant does his bit for world peace, telling the crowd that "if everybody was like this to each other every day, there would be no problems.....". This sentiment is met with an overwhelming response from their Irish followers. The next encore number is another 'first time round off' performance. This time it's 'Rock & Roll', played at a frantic pace and complete with 'studio version' vocals. The fast tempo of the number is somewhat confused by enthusiastic hand clapping of the now riotous Belfast audience. 'Bring It On Home' is the very rare final encore. The number is preceded by a comment from Robert who jokingly chastises a member of the audience for knocking some of the PA over! To my knowledge, this is the only 1971 version of the song ever captured on tape and a very unusual version it is too. The middle section boasts and extended harmonica and guitar solo. There are no vocals or harp in the final section and a bombastic finale to the song closes this amazing show." (Keith Lambert Dec 2000)

This is an awesome show, exactly 2 months before the Last Waltz…enjoy!

--Recorded my Reel with a TEAC 2300S reel to reel into a 1997 Sony CD Burner (Analogue to Digital with RCA cable
outpout on the TEAC and input to the burner). Ripped the CD's that were burned using Roxio import CD function on my Windows 7
computer and saved them as 14H kbps / 44 kHz .wav files . Tracked and adjusted volume of the .wav files using Roxio
Sound Editor (2009) as well as pitch correcting the files via the WavePad Sound Editor (2023) program by a very small increment
(using the hanno sbd section as a guide). Also patched in the Mason's Children using the same Hanno SBD source and adding in
all the rest of the sbd tracks from The Eleven on. This was also retracked using Roxio Sound Editor (2009) Tagged each file using the Windows 7 'Edit Song Information' function.

Notes:

03/01/2024
This was a rescued Reel from Ebay that I finally got around to transferring - it has an unknown lineage but it was proportedly recorded
by a Fillmore West Employee - This AUD recording sounds fantastic and I think is Mono. It definitely fills in a gap from this night.
I don't believe that there is another recording of the Dark Star > Alligator as of 2024 - so hopefully more of this night emerges as I am left
wondering what happens after Alligator and before The Eleven from the other circulating source.

03/04/2024
Wanted to create a new seed that was better speed / pitch corrected and had all the SBD parts patched in so here it is, Enjoy!

RECORDED BY ED PERLSTEIN :

Yes, I recorded the first Keith & Donna Band show at the Lion's Share in San Anselmo, Ca. 
I was friendly with the sound guy, and he let me plug my reel 2 reel in to the board. 
But the club was so small, that not everything was miked b/c it wasn't necessary. 
Anyway, after the show Rex Jackson took the reels away from me b/c he wasn't aware
until after the show that I recorded it.  No one else recorded it. 
Rex eventually gave them back to me, but I later erased all but one master reel.

So I went to this show believing (mistekenly) that recording was wide open. I came with my metal briefcase full of gear and a mic stand. Got in, no problem then just before entering seating, security came over and made me check the case. I don't remember if I managed to use my csc mics or if I later found this and downloaded it. My wife who was at the show with me thinks I recorded it, but isn't sure.   ---  What is The Sears Theatre? It is an "acoustic tent" that can be erected in The Air Canada Centre, for better sound (supposedly). It is a much smaller space inside the "Theatre" with a capacity of 6,000.

JOHN COLTRANE
1951 RADIO BROADCASTS
Birdland
New York, NY, USA

Lineage: Boot LP Oberon 5100 "Trane's First Ride 1951" > Sony PS-LX250H > Yamaha RX-396 > Zoom H2 (line-in) >
WAV > WavePad Sound Editor (tracking) > Trader's Little Helper (FLAC 8, align on sector boundaries)

Sound Quality: B/B+

Side A
01 Congo Blues
02 Night in Tunisia
03 Yesterdays
04 Birk's Works

Side B
05 Good Bait
06 I Can't Get Started
07 Birk's Works (Air Check 2)
08 Jumping with Symphony Sid (Theme)

Total Time = 32:14

Typical of many jazz bootleg LPs, this one contains no dates nor any information beyond song titles
and the year of 1951 (despite having a long liner essay by one "E.S.Spoe").  After a good bit of research
(and matching some of it with my recollections from countless hours of listening to the pedantic, yet
informative Phil Schaap on Bird Flight here in New York City weekday mornings on WKCR), I have come up
with the following probable list of dates and line-ups.  The venue is always Birldand.   


Tracks 01, 02, 03
1951-January-6
Dizzy Gillespie Sextet
Dizzy Gillespie, trumpet
John Coltrane, tenor
Milt Jackson, vibraphone
Billy Taylor, piano
Percey Heath, bass
Art Blakey, drums

Track 05
1951-January-13
Dizzy Gillespie Sextet

Tracks 04, 06, 08
1951-February-3
Dizzy Gillespie Septet
same as above, add J.J. Johnson, trombone

Track 07
1951-March-17
Dizzy Gillespie Septet
same as above, but changes: John Lewis, piano; Carl "Kansas" Fields, drums

Neil Young Acoustic
Shoreline Amphitheater
Mountain View, CA
1997-07-11

Source:   Schoeps MK4 (8' stand 15' from left PA) > VMS-1B-02 > SMB-1 > D8 by David Hughes > DAT via Ted Mattes
Transfer: MDAT > Otari DTR-8S > Tascam DA-3000 > WAV @ 16/48
Master:   Wavelab 11 (tracking, levels, Ozone RX De-click, fades) > FLAC 1648

Thanks to David Hughes for taping and Ted Mattes for lending his DAT to be transferred

01. Heart of Gold
02. Slowpoke
03. Buffalo Springfield Again
04. The Needle And The Damage Done
05. Out On The Weekend
06. Long May You Run
07. banter
08. Pocahontas
09. Someday
10. Homegrown

Performed on a side stage, this was an unannounced show.  Thus, the small crowd (sounds like a small club at first) and the ever-increasing volume of applause after each song.  Ozone RX De-click was used to reduce the intensity of the clapping. 

Enjoy!

B.B. King and Orchestra
Centennial Auditorium
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Canada

March 29, 1983

Source: Soundboard > 1st generation cassette [obtained and transferred August 2001]

Transfer Lineage:
Sony Tape Deck > Philips 760 standalone burner > CD-R > Soundforge 9.0 [tracking and balancing] > EAC > TLH [sector boundary aligned] Flac Level 8 > 9/16/14

Transferred, Balanced and Track by George [upload 288]

=============================================================================

To Celebrate B.B. King's 89th Birthday today, I've decided to upload something that will be an upgrade over any previous versions.

This is the cleanest lineage available for the first time.

I had discovered the 1st generation tape in the hands of a Canadian collector back in July 2001. 

The tape was sent to me, borrow and transferred, then returned.

This was ripped from the original cd-rs created in 2001.

This was a full 90 minute tape and the tape flip was during track 09 @ 5:05 minute mark.

It's notable to mention that there is a rare instrumental of "How Blue Can You Get", that lasts nearly 10 minutes.

At the end of track 5 we get the rarely played song titled "Mean Old Frisco".

We also get to hear the classic song "Hummingbird", originally recorded by Leon Russell.  But you know who's version I like better ;-)

Track 13 is a fast paced instrumental that I'll title Saskatoon Fever.

Unfortunately the ending is missing and it's not known if a second tape exists.

This will be the best lineage version that anyone will have.

B.B. King Orchestra:
Eugene Carrier – Keyboards
Russell Jackson - Bass
Drummer - Calep Emphrey
James Bolden - Trumpet
Leon Warren – Guitar
Eddie Synigal - Tenor Sax
Calvin Owens - Trumpet / Conductor [Last Documented Appearance]

Samples Provided

01 Orchestra Instrumental #1
02 Orchestra Instrumental #2
03 B.B. King Introduction Jam
04 Let The Good Times Roll
05 Crying Won't Help You > Mean Old Frisco
06 Night Life [Instrumental]
07 Caldonia
08 Sweet Little Angel
09 I Just Can't Leave Your Love Alone [tape flip @ 5:05]
10 When It All Comes Down
11 Hummingbird
12 How Blue Can You Get [Instrumental]
13 Saskatoon Fever [Instrumental]
14 Guess Who
15 Never Make A Move Too Soon

Total Time = 91:17 min

Enjoy

Birdland All-Stars (W/ Miles Davis)
11-19-1956
Kongresshaus
Zürich, Switzerland

Project ID - LL3

Source: FM Broadcast
Lineage: Radio Broadcast>unknown transfer(s) > ? > wav > ? >flac

Miles Davis (tpt); Lester Young (ts); René Urtreger (p); Pierre Michelot (b);
Christian Garros (d)

disc 1

d1t01. Four
d1t02. Walkin'
d1t03. Lady Be Good
 
-------------------------------------------------------

Notes:

- Another great performance by Miles, this one sourced from a radio broadcast. Good
sound except for several to several tens of clipped digital samples per track
that create audible clicks or ticks, mostly in the first two tracks.
 
- This is the last of three known circulating fragments from the Birdland
All-Stars 1956 European tour.  One can only hope that more will surface!

disc 1

d1t01. Announcer Intro -> Dear Old Stockholm

-------------------------------------------------------

Notes:

- A good performance with some recording flaws and an announcer voiceover
interview on Track 2. There is some minor static crackle and minor hiss. The
left channel has very little frequency content above 16 KHz, while the signal
in the right channel is about 18 dB lower and contains some hiss in the full
audio spectrum. A couple of flaws are listed below.

- d1t02. Dropout from 1:16.311 - 1:17.659

- d1t02. At 2:36.600 music fades into background during voiceover
interview with Maynard Ferguson until end of track.
- "Bag's Groove" cuts out near the beginning of the interview voiceover
during Sonny Rollin's solo

- "How Am I to Know" begins in the background, voiced over completely by the interview
and fading out before the announcer sign-off.

--Thanks so much to whomever originally recorded & shared out this the Radiators 1994 show & to tacobueno for providing his cassette to mossa &, of course, to mossa for the transfer & sharing of his copy far & wide for all of us.  Absolutely Appreciated!! 
--barely anything is missing from "Nasty Boogie Woogie"...taper obviously flipped his master cassette right at the ending note of "If I Were a Carpenter" & did a super quick flip--nice work!! 
--I added more detail to the band members info & setlist info
--still trying to determine exactly when Glenn "Kul" Sears departed from the band/when his very last show was...I have narrowed it down to sometime in 1994 as he was definitely there as of March 1994, but not here in November--if anyone knows the exact answer to this, won't you be so kind as to please share it with us all?? 
--corrected some song titles toward how they appear on the original albums
--added more detail to the venue info 
--the original La Zona Rosa venue was closed sometime in 2013 & the last person to perform there was none other than the musical ICON Prince.  It has re-opened as "LZR" as a multi-use space in 2017

A multi-media event arranged by Richard Brender, who put on shows in the Pacific Northwest in the 1980s and 90s, including several Robert Hunter shows in Seattle.  Katie Johntz is his sister. 

This new transfer using better equipment brings out some of the flaws in the recording, including tiny 'pops' that originated with the mics or the poets as they spoke.  Also, although the cassette was marked "no Dolby" there was a lot of hiss and it sounded unnaturally bright as if Dolby had been used.  The recording was therefore decoded using Dolby C.

This tape came from Caroline Welch (a/k/a Carlisle) who passed away in July 2008 and is still missed.  A video exists and has been synced to DVD by the inestimable Kevin Tobin using a prior transfer of these cassettes.

Hoserama Show Notes:
--Final show for the 2022 Smile shows. 
--Bit of a weird introduction with Thom telling folks to get to their seats, which was interpreted by a bunch of folks that they should all be sitting down. 
--Also cut one of my favorite songs from the encore (so included it as a bonus track from another show). 
--Still, nice solid outing from the Smile.

Original notes:

A nice transfer of NB's 1st gen copy of this stereo recording. Most of the concert is on a TDK D90 and the rest is on a BASF LH C60. Pictures of the tapes are included in the folder. The C90 content sounds better. My source said that the show was transferred on 26 December 2007 and no processing was applied.

The songs are divided across the cassettes and have been speed corrected in Reaper, after advice from goldenband, as follows:

* C90 Side 1 (part 1) tracks 1-2
No speed correction was required.

* C60 Side 2 some audience and tuning followed by song 3 and the opening to track 4; some heart beats from the opening to DSOTM.
-0.52% has been applied. SOYCD accelerates from almost correct to about +1.05% fast over the course of the song, so correcting by -0.52% was a workable compromise value. It's still a bit fast at the end but only a tiny bit.

Judging by the title it was given, the file was speed corrected before I received it, so we were correcting the correction - not ideal. My source believed that the correction was applied on the ZX7 but this deck doesn't have pitch adjust.

* C90 Side 1 (part 2) Audience followed by tracks 4-7. Time has a 2m40s repeat which can be easily spotted because there is a fade in and fade out.
A +0.21 speed correction has been applied. We wouldn't normally make such a fine adjustment but putting it up by this percentage makes Time the same speed on both tapes. Goldenband measured it empirically (length between transients).

* C90 Side 2 tracks 7-14
No change was required. This side starts out a hair slow and finishes up just a hair fast, both well within tolerance, so we left it alone.

* C60 Side 1 some audience and tuning followed by Echoes
-0.696% speed correction.

The raw source was all quite close to the correct speed but given the high quality of this source goldenband and I thought it was worth making these minor adjustments.

The volume fluctuates and is particularly low on the last side containing Echoes. I added 2.08dB to all the sides except the last one containing Echoes, where I added 5.95dB. This last side has a noticeable low pitch hum. If you look at the waveform for SOYCD it might look like I should have added less gain but I decided to continue the pattern to demonstrate how the taper is likely to have adjusted his recording levels during the course of the show.

lineage:

mastertape -> DAT(48 kHz) -> DAT clone(s) ->
optical cable -> Adobe Audition * -> wav ->
CD Wave Editor -> wav -> TLH -> flac
(* edits, fades, normalizing, downsampling to 44,1 kHz)
remaster lineage: dime download (2009, flac16) >
wav (adjusts) > flac (level 6). remastering by glasnostrd19 in 2009.
posted several years after that.

remaster notes:
this was previously posted (before adjusts) on Jan. 12, 2009
by hoodoo01 at dime torrent #231746. now long gone from the tracker.
I have applied DC offset and reduced a few mic bumps and
most of the loudest claps between songs (not all of them).
I did not edit anything or adjust levels, all that was fine before.
track times were added and the fadeout after track 7
and fadein before track 8 (both during applause) was left as it was.
just horsin' around in the garden again and rockin' the rusty house down.
there are apparently at least 3 circulated sources of this fine show,
and this one is probably recorded with the highest fidelity mic's.
the info doesn't say if this mastertape was analog or DAT,
(or who recorded it, thanks much for a very good sounding recording,
one of the best from 1991 tour)
probably analog for all 3 sources in 1991,
the other two were recorded with a Sony WMD-6 walkman cassette deck,
and an Aiwa auto levelling walkman cassette deck.

Led Zeppelin
Budokan Hall, Tokyo, Japan
Oct. 02, 1972

Led Zeppelin Is My Brother - Empress Valley EVSD 319/320

Original Silvers>EAC>WAV>Flac(8)

Set list:-
CD1 (75.11): Introduction by Goro Itoi, Rock and Roll, Over The Hills And Far Away, Black Dog, Misty Mountain Hop, Since I've Been Loving You, Dancing Days, Bron-yr-Aur Stomp, The Song Remains The Same, The Rain Song.
CD2 (52.22): Dazed And Confused, Stairway To Heaven, Hole Lotta Love (includes Everybody Needs Somebody to Love, Boogie Woogie, My Baby Left Me, Killing Floor, I Can't Quit You), Heartbreaker, Immigrant Song, Communication Breakdown.

The first release by Empress Valley for a Japan 1972 Tour concert. They have used the really excellent stereo audience recording, on reel to reel tapes, that was originally released by the Patriot label many years ago as the 2CD Budokan Oct 2, 1972. Subsequently released by Tarantura as No Use Greco, and also by other labels. Described by Patriot as: "Complete show from true open-reel master. No cut and final sound quality". The sound was excellent, and untampered with. Empress Valley have done a very good job remastering the original reel to reel tapes (illustrated on the back of the most attractive glossy colour slipcase), and have filled the very few gaps in the main source with another audience recording from this concert. If you want a sound closer to the master then the Patriot release will be to your liking, but if you like a more powerful and punchy sound then this release will be right up your street. There are useful liner notes from Aquarius 11, and a facsimile of the original concert ticket, both front and back, a nice touch. This release is very well packaged and presented, which adds up to a most desirable release for this concert. A pity they screwed up the track listings for each CD on the back cover, Dazed And Confused is on disc 1, not 2. The Japan 1972 Tour concerts are often regarded disparagingly by armchair critics and pundits, but yet again the lucky Japanese audiences were treated to a complete change of set list, and brand new songs being premiered. The playing was generally of a very high standard, and the concerts were not burdened with overindulgent solos.  So full marks to Empress Valley for a great sound and really nice packaging.

==================================================================

Today we have an old gem. something I haven't seen anywhere before.

Melanie signed to Columbia Records in 1967.

Her debut single, "Beautiful People" was a hit in the Netherlands.

Her song "Bobo's Party" was a #1 hit in France in 1969.

While her debut album received rave reviews from Billboard which heralded her voice as "wise beyond her years.

Her non-conformist approach to the selections on this LP made her a new talent to be reckoned with.

Though with low album sales in the States, Melanie left Columbia Records and signed with Buddah Records.

On this tape there were 2 BBC broadcasts.

I wanted to keep them both together in the same post.

Melanie had just recently performed at Woodstock 3 weeks earlier.

By 1975 Melanie had returned to the BBC to perform a full set of songs.

Thanks to BR for the tape.

Ani DiFranco w/Todd Sickafoose and Terence Higgins - The Flying Monkey, Plymouth, NH - 2015=11=14 - FROM THE MASTER

Seat B14>Edirol R-09>WAV 16-bit 44.1k>Audacity 32-bit float for compression at 4:1, EQ, .5db volume boost, track splits>FLAC Level 8

18. Which Side Are You On? (w/Mike and Ruthy)
19. Overlap (w/Mike and Ruthy)

Pretty decent recording of the Ani show that daughter Cassandra and I saw in late 2015. We had 2nd row seats in one of the front sections off to the right of the stage so recording conditions were not ideal. I think after a bit of compression and judicious EQ, however, this sounds pretty good. I dipped out a bit between 80Hz and 200Hz to eliminate some of the boom of the room and give Ani's voice some support and boosted some mids and highs to bring Ani's voice and guitar up a bit in the mix. In my opinion it sounds significantly best than the master on my cheap system, but opinions vary.

Mike and Ruthy, a bluegrass/folk duo, opened the show and accompany Ani and band on Which Side Are You On and Overlap with banjo and fiddle.

A great show, ruined at at one point during See See See See, however, by some drunk bitch who thought see was entitled to stand in the space of the seat I'd purchased as buffer to get a great recording.

-Removed dropout at 00:28.96 of d1t08

-There is feedback on the master tape throughout d1t09

Fixes (Ben):
-Applied Cool Edit Hiss Redution based on floor sample at end of Peaches (pure hiss).
  Removed maximum amount of his possible without degrading sound quality. I'm still not
  pleased with the sound quality but this is all we have for now.

Petriz comments:
A fine audience shot DVD I got from my friend  Werner. All thanks go to him.
B.B.’s voice is quite echoey, but the instruments sound great, the picture is great, I would rate it 7/10 and the performance is HOT.
The gem in the setlist is a rare outing for Gambler’s Blues and Whole Lotta Lovin’.
I created the infofile with the setlist, specs and also checksums.
Enjoy.

Santana
May 13, 1968 [date uncertain]
Avalon Ballroom
San Francisco, CA

The sound quality is very good FM from low gen. off-air reel.

CD#1: 1st set 47:04
01 Waiting  8:21
02 Treat  10:22
03 Evil Ways  8:45
04 Shades of Time  3:40

04 > drums  11:36
05 > Soul Sacrifice  20:44
06 talk: "Don't Go No Further..." & crowd noise  0:38

Carlos Santana: Guitar, Percussion, Vocals
Marcus Malone: Percussion
David Brown: Bass
Gregg Rolie: Keyboards, Vocals
Bob "Doc" Livingston: Drums

Probable lineage: 1st or 2nd gen. copy of off-air reel master.
KMPX-FM > ? > Sony SLH-180 7 inch Dolby B 1/4 track reel recorded at 3.75 ips (Tandberg 9241XD) > Macintosh with DigiDesign AudioMedia III card > Pro Tools > AIFF > FLAC level 8 (created with xACT with sector boundaries verified). md5 file created with checkSUM+.

Nothing has been edited out or eq'd, but there were lots of dropouts - mostly in just one of the channels. Since this is basically a mono mix, the dropouts and levels changes could be almost entirely eliminated - either by pasting in from the good channel or with manual level adjustments in Pro Tools. The finished result is very clean sounding overall. This version is less cut up and better sound quality than the previous version seeded.

The date is uncertain because of the announcer comments at the end of the first set about 5 nights coming up of benefit shows with 5 bands a night. There is a poster for Santana playing at the Avalon from May 17-19, which would be the last 3 nights of that "5 day benefit" if the date of the 13th was correct but only 2 bands and no benefit are listed on the poster for the May 17-19 run. Some people think that this is from that May 17-19 run at the Avalon, but that comment about the benefit still messes things up, because there are Avalon posters with the typical 2 bands and no mention of any benefits all the way up to the end of November 1968. After Chet Helms "Family Dog" stopped booking shows at the Avalon another promoter, "Soundproof", put on more shows at The Avalon starting in January 1969. Jerry Abram's Headlights are mentioned also by the announcer, and they did do both the '68 Family Dog Avalon shows and the '69 Soundproof shows.

Based upon all of this information, I would put the probable date as being close to the end of Chet Helms run at the Avalon. The posters for weekly Friday thru Sunday shows stopped at the end of November, 1968. Soundproof took over in January '69, so I would speculate that this show here is really from December, 1968. That would be when benefits to keep Chet Helms going at The Avalon would have been probable. The announcer doesn't say that the benefit shows would be for any other cause, and the regular scheduled weekend shows apparently had ended, so there might have been time for a 5 day wednesday thru Sunday benefit before the Family Dog completely stopped doing shows at the Avalon...

So I am listing this as 5-13-68 [date uncertain - might actually be from December, 1968]

But I'm sure you will enjoy this however you decide to label it!

Pink Floyd: Live at Empire Pool
Wembly, London UK during the
British Winter Tour of 1974

Title: No Room Upon the Hill

Date: Performed November 16, 1974

SQ: A (outstanding audience recording)

Source: 1st Generation copy of the
master discs

Liberated in its lowest generation
form yet, in SHN-only format, by
Man of Leisure Music (MoLM) May, 2004
using the FloydArtifacts listserv
and Sharing the Groove.  MD5 codes
listed at bottom.

Mastering: Transferred to disc by a
close friend of the taper.  Someone
who obviously knew what they were doing.
(Thank you)  This is one of the few
departures from our signature re-mastering
methods; MoLM has not performed any sound
alteration, nor speed correction to this
phenomenal recording.

Background: Obtained in a trade with the
taper, Man of Leisure Music (MoLM)
has secured a 1st gen clone of the
master discs.  We're ever so grateful.

This is the very well known concert
performed during the British Winter Tour
in late 1974.  This night, the BBC recorded what
many Pink Floyd fans consider to be the finest
live version of Dark Side of the Moon.
To my understanding, the BBC did not record
the first set of this timeless concert.

Here it is, the full concert, and one of
the better audience recordings you will
ever hear of Pink Floyd.

Recently, the pre-FM broadcast soundboard
edition of the BBC-recorded second set,
including the Echoes encore, was liberated
on Sharing the Groove and the FloydArtifacts
listserv. (thanks Boss Binth for grabbing it!)

Man of Leisure Music would like to now
share this audience version with the Pink Floyd
Trading community to compliment the pre-FM
broadcast soundboard roio.  Together, they
represent the two definitive recordings of
this historic date in Rock and Roll history.

ffp:
101 - Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts 1-9).
102 - Raving and Drooling.
103 - You Gotta Be Crazy.
201 - Speak To Me.

202 - Breathe.
203 - On The Run.f
204 - Time-Breathe (Reprise).
205 - The Great Gig In The Sky.
206 - Money.
207 - Us And Them.
208 - Any Colour Tou Like.
209 - Brain Damage.
210 - Eclpise.

Lineage: Silver Discs > EAC > Wave > DB Power Amp > Flac 8


Soundquality: I´d rate this 9 - 9,5 out of 10.


***** This is a very cool recording with minimal audience sound. Maybe Brian´s voice is a little low in the mix but still the same
a very good almost excellent recording. My own guess is that this is a In - House monitor feed recording since you can barely hear
the Bell in Hells Bells and the Cannons in For Those About To Rock aren´t that loud. I for sure wouldn´t like to have those in my monitor during a show.
They only go out through the PA system. *****

On this night Richard plays two sets. I have the first set to offer.
I have not heard the second set but it does exist in limited circulation on a 2 CD set.
This particular tape transfer played very very slow and needed quite a bit of adjustment to get it up to the proper pitch.
The sound quality is quite good.

Thanks goes out to gv0000 for finding the newspaper advertisement, which indicates two shows.

Lou's Note: The first time they played as Emmylou Harris & The Hot Band was 1975-04-03, the first night of a 3 night run at the Boarding House.

Sounds like this show was done between releasing her debut "Pieces OF The Sky" and her 2nd album "Elite Hotel", both released in 1975.  She signed with the label in October 1974, so they were quick albums.  The show is from the Friday of Thanksgiving weekend of 1975.

Total time = 34:30

Personnel:
Chan Marshall - vocals & guitar

Notes from the taper:  "Lots of local bands came out in support of Atlanta scene player 315, playing all evening and late into the night.  By the time Chan came out, more than half the crowd had left, and by the time she was finished most of the rest had left.  She started and stopped, tried to get a singalong going on a White Stripes cover, and talked quietly to people at the front of the audience.  It was kind of a disaster.  I've edited out long bits between songs, and towards the end of the show you'll see I kept more crazy bits of stage banter than actual music.  Don't think I've ever shared this complete recording, but now that Chan's in better shape I guess we can look back and laugh, eh?  315 (that is the guy's name) followed Chan, playing bent Christmas carols on solo electric guitar at his own fundraising concert.  Sadly he died a few months later.  One of the more memorable shows out of the hundreds I've seen at the Earl."

Acid Test
1966-01-08 Fillmore Auditorium, S.F., CA. Acid Test
Upgrade. Source(s) MR>?>Hi-Fi Stereo VHS>WAV>Soundforge (Editing)>WAV>CDR>EAC>FLAC

There were at least Three different audio edits of this material used over three different
audio/video edits of the Acid Test Video. Each one had audio not available on the other
versions. I spent a couple weeks carefully tracking all the seperate edits and tracking them.
I used the first release as the main audio. It sounded the best quality to me. Source two was
mono (for unknown reasons), but you will notice audio not available on the other two versions.
Version three had the most overdubs of segments played on top of others, but still had a few
snippets worth adding to this collection. Removing all the duplicate music tracks, here's everything
that was worth saving from each version. Everything fits on one CDR, but it would be great of someone
could try to edit them together with better audio editing software than I have to work with.

Someone should try to use upgrade the audio to the film Sunshine Daydream with this Stereo version of I'm A King Bee!

Elvis Costello
Gramercy Theatre

February  17, 2023

100 Songs and More - Night 7 of 10

With Steve Nieve

Night 7 of 10 of EC's no repeat residency at the tiny Gramercy Theatre in New York City.  A night of Elvis and Steve Nieve.  Again, a few songs feature electronic backing and samples prepared in the studio especially for this show.  Great show and great recording.  Includes and almost never played Pretty Words, and any show with Poor Napoleon is a winner.  Steve sings a verse of PLU.  I previously uploaded night 3.  This is not next best show or the next best sounding, it's just the next one.  There will be more.  Samples below.  I didn't mention this on the first upload, but these shows include many great stories from EC and poignant words about Burt Bacharach, Elvis' friend and collaborator who passed away the night before this run of shows started.



24bit 48K recording. If you still burn to CD, it's pretty easy to convert the files to CD specs. Most burning programs do it internally. If burning, break before Party Girl. If not, the show will play seamless.

Phish
1-27-1988 AKA 1-30-1988
Gallagher's Waitsfield VT.

This show is dated 1-30-1988 on Phish.net as well
as on my dat.
This show is dated 1-27-1988 in the Phish Companion
so I elected to seed it using this date.

SOURCE:SBD>CASS(0)>DAT
DAT>SHN:Tascam DA-20>COAX>WAV>COOL EDIT>CDWAV>SHN
Via MKW.These SHN files are seekable in your SHNamp.
I have included both shn and wav md5s.

This show has been on a journey through the Cool Edit.
Using the Noise Reduction Feature, I have removed
2/3 of the hiss from this copy.There is still
a little bit of hiss,but it comes and goes in waves
instead of a constant annoyance.Before I did this,
the hiss was over the music,now it is behind it.
The music was left completely unaltered in this process.

When the show was originally recorded,the analog
taper kept reseting their levels louder and louder
to the point where there is some vibration.No
real distortion,just some annoying vibration so
don't crank these full throddle.I tried various
tools to try and fix it.I could not get it to my
liking so I chose to leave it alone.

About 2 minutes of Lizards is missing.
It is a very strange time for an analog flip,
but if this taper used 2 tapes for a 3 set show,
the timing matches up.

This is a fabulous show.If I had to give it a grade
for quality...
If it was recorded after 1993 it would be a "C".
Since it was recorded in 1988 and I was able to remove
most of the hiss, I give it an "A--".

One of many Snooks + Eddie Bo performances around this time, this is a nice recording after the first 20 seconds or so.  The tape was a little bass heavy, which has been corrected.  The last track cuts; we don't know how much longer the show went on.  The last four songs are Tommy Ridgley's. 

Enjoy!
