Definitive Audiophile pressings

Also keep an eye out on Target sale for the Dylan Mono box set. They had some copies when the sale went live and worked out to around $100 shipped with the deal. They typically add more copies of things throughout the week, so it might be back if someone wanted to hop on that.

Just listening to the George Russell New York NY reissue. Damn it sounds amazing. Definitely worth grabbing. I went in pretty much blind (streamed it once) but I am enjoying it.

Agreed. The Peggy Lee is very good too. I’ve been wanting a clean copy of that since I started collecting.

I can’t get over all the narration... it’s weird to me. I assume that’s on the vinyl like on Spotify? Or am I crazy?

I had the Bob Dylan Mono box in my Target cart last night before bed. This morning? Sold out

The Bob Dylan Mono Box waits for no man.

Ain’t that the truth. I just wanted to choose a couple more expensive items to make the most of the discount. But alas.

I hear ya. It would be dangerous if those Target sales were available in Canada...

Ain’t that the truth. I just wanted to choose a couple more expensive items to make the most of the discount. But alas.

Next time, just order any 2 other items that are similarly priced and then cancel the other two immediately. I just sort by price, high to low to make it easier. You still get the discount. It makes it so you don't need to actually find and buy 3, $150 boxes. Dylan was already at low stock before the sale so not shocked they sold out quickly, sadly.

It was strange to me when I streamed it as well. But listening to it today it didn't bother me at all. Funny thing is if some just described it to me as "orchestral jazz with beat poetry about Manhattan" I would have said hard pass, but that is exactly what it is.

Have you bought those Talk Talk records yet ?

Jesus, we’re back into this dull technical talk that none of us truly understand.

Can we get back to sharing which records we think sound great again?

I was buying talk talk records?

If you cared about us at all you would be buying Talk Talk records.

Seeing as Radiohead ripped off all their Ideas I thought you might be interested to go back to the source, and listen to the original and still the best .

Oh we’re doing the whole “your favourite band ripped off my favourite band” thing

Shit where’s that dude to give me a long lecture about recording techniques that he clearly knows nothing about, that’s less boring.

What are the best Edison cylinders to start a collection? Like the essentials.

 

[kafunis]

Oh well, you're the one missing out on some of the most sublime music ever recorded, no worries. Was that me ?? Well I don;t think that I have talked about recording techniques on here, But I certainly have done some recordings .

No it wasn’t you! It’s the Canadian dude who argues from a point on minimal knowledge and at one point on this thread was trying to argue with one of our members who I’m pretty sure is a sound engineer...

I’ll happily try Talk Talk at some point, it’s a name that’s on my long list for a long time but only so much money and SO MUCH music! I just hadn’t remembered ever saying I was going to and I do find the whole such and such ripped off such and such conversation to be pretty reductive, unless it’s hitting the point of copywrite theft. Our creative growth is always informed by our influences and I’m just interested in the endpoint of what I consider to be great music.

 

[kafunis]

Great, well that's all I was trying to do, recommend some great music to you that you might enjoy .

I got this based on reviews from the Hoffman boards. Plan on breaking it open tomorrow. I have some Columbia repress compliations with a few of the songs on it so it will be fun to compare the two. Early Columbia recordings of Frank sounds like he was singing into a tin can.
