This is a really good record. First CD I have of this guy. I'll have to check out some more.

That means that the analog tape was transferred to digital, and then that tape was used to master the LP. Which means it is not an all analog LP which is what many buyers want and is not going to sound the same as an all analog LP.

unproccessed and untweaked. This sounds to me like its a completely straight transfer of ANALOG tapes to digital to vinyl. Maybe I am (also) unaware of what unprocessed and untweaked means.

From the samples out there, it sounds pretty good to me. BTW - another reason to maybe go for the CD version - Side A has almost 29 minutes of music on it. This means that it had to be cut with some bass reduction to allow the cutter to tighten up the grooves to fit them onto the side.

Disc 3

It’s coming out today.

I’ve smoked occasionally and never had any issues. Anything done to excess however is not always beneficial.

So, how's the music?

If someone is looking for a real medical study showing an actual link between THC and health risks, this one should do the trick: Cannabis Users Face Substantially Higher Risk of Heart Attack It certainly got me to re-think the use of THC gummies to help me sleep. I have several friends who swear by 5 mg gummies before bed but given this new study, it's not worth it for me.

I don't know what you're missing. He also said: They were transferred by me, personally, at The Mastering Lab at 24/192, and those files remained UNPROCESSED and untweaked throughout the digital steps for LP production. Maybe you're unaware that 24/192 is a digital term? Even if you are, he clarified that when he talked about "digital steps" & then bluntly stated, "What you hear on the LP is those flat 24/192 files". He digitized the analog tapes to 24 bit/192 kHz digital, period. 24/192 is digital - it's not analog. Given this info, I don't see why anyone would buy the LP. Although at my age, I do appreciate the large LP artwork.

It’s poor. As a devoted le Carre reader and Smiley fan of many years, it was a poor imitation of the books. Best to leave it with the creator.

In this particular case, the performances were recorded on an Ampex 600, if I recall correctly, and yes, the recordings are mono. A set of tapes has been in Jim Wilke's collection for all these decades, and those two reels were physically shipped to me for mastering. (Blue Note now owns and archives these original tape reels.) As the production team and I started going through the contents of the tapes, we discovered a problem: One song was absent from the tapes I received, but a flat, existing, archival digital transfer existed for that track, and it sounded fine, so we included it -- and the album is better for it.

Impex Records is a well-known and respected audiophile label. Their gold cd of "Ellington Indigos" is one of my very favorite discs. They have also done an INCREDIBLE SOUNDING SACD of "Getz/Gilberto." Their LP releases get great praise, I haven't bought any as I'm not buying recent reissue LPs.

I haven’t spun this one in a while and it is a good one. Ku-Umba Frank Lacy with Mingus Big Band “Mingus Sings” Sunnyside cd
