BERIGAN Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 I searched, and couldn't any mention of metal Mother discs...which means someone will come along and show me 5 threads on the subject. :/ I have heard of metal recordings...but never read much about them... anyways, someone on facebook linked to this youtuber's page...I heard a few transfers a week or so ago, and was very impressed, but this Hot Five Recording! WOW!!!! As close as we will ever get to hearing them live. So....anyone hear own any? Or at least see one in person? How many are in vaults still here in the U.S. ? Or overseas like these discs? When you are blown away by the sound of 80+ year old recordings on crappy computer speakers.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 It's stunning, heard that a few days back. I'm getting more into pre bop anyway but that recording really just highlights how fresh those ideas are in the Hot Fives and Sevens.

Ted O'Reilly Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 I'm not really sure, but I think there have been lots of reissues taken from metal mother discs. Perhaps they just don't make much mention of it. And didn't DGG or Angel (or somebody) make direct metal masters about 20 years back?

medjuck Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Now there's an Ellington: https://www.offbeat.com/news/incredibly-clear-duke-ellington-recording-surfaces-online/ And how do we combine this thread with the one under "audio".
