That's got to be a joke! I have that disk. I like it fine (I have asentimental spot for that album), but could it possibly be worth that money to someone?

Can't help with the Who Came First comparison, but I like the Oceanic Concerts disk. The mastering is not so bad that it gets in the way of the music for me. I'm a sucker for just listening to Pete in that sort of situation, so I'll put up with a lot (the La Jolla sets, by the way, are consistently ...

Maybe you're right about the tape and the CD, all I'm saying is that my needledrop of the the vinyl sounds bright in a different and to me more pleasing way than the CD sounds bright. Turning down the treble on the CD does not make it sound like the needledrop, which has a bunch of other characteris...

The original vinyl is bright. In fact, everything recorded at Ardent Studios during this period could be characterized as "bright." It's just the Ardent signature sound. That's true, but there are different kinds of bright. I, like Chris, have a needledrop of the original vinyl, and the brightness ...

Re: John Zorn's Masada String Trio
Saw this great group at the DC Jewish Community Center as the opening night of the Jewish Music Festival. Now, I'm not much of a fan of klezmer, but saying this was a klezmer group is like saying Eddie Van Halen has decent technique. Zorn has composed some 300 tunes for this ensemble, and they play...

I think the box sounds great! Good enough, in fact, to keep me from spending my presently depleted reserves on the newer Hoffman Hybrid SACD. The tracks that that disk shares with the box do sound better, but the box is still good enough for me right now. Also: it's got just about everything you cou...

McCartney Fame disks
By the way, Dave, thank you for doing the comparison and bringing this to our attention. I hope someone gets a chance to do a little more comparing. I paid about $17 for a copy of "London Town." I like it fine, but I'd like to know if I could have gotten the same sound on an $8 used Capitol! L.

Uh...yes. I think I'd say that's a positive recommendation. I can add, by the way, that a cdr of a Japanese version of "Wings Greatest Hits" of similar vintage sounds almost as good as the Fame "London Town." I'm not sure these things are all that easy to find in the US, but I think they're worth lo...

Dave, I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you on this, but time has been short. I got a copy of the Fame version of "London Town" and a cdr of "Venus and Mars." Both of them sound pretty great to me, although the original recording of VAM is, as I was led to believe, not all that good, ...
