    Happy birthday.

    All I could find was the exact address: P.O. Box 1200 3260 AE Oud Beijerland Netherlands (3260 AE is the Dutch zip code)

    Exactly!

    Well, to my ears many of the TOCJ24s sound rotten and the graphs just confirmed what I'm hearing. But like you said, to each his own...

    looing? Like this cat you mean?

    The good looking version is the earlier "Blue Note Works" TOCJ; the compressed version is the later TOCJ24, not the RVG. I wonder what the RVG graph looks like. if the two versions I have of Sonny Clark's Royal Flush (TOCJ BNW [mono] & domestic RVG [stereo]) are any indication, the RVG will be a "very happy" wall of sound... How to kill the music...

    She was diagnosed with lung cancer a short while after Christopher died. Very sad news, she was way too young.

    RVG's mono masters often sound better than the stereo ones.

    What bothers me most about this one is that it is pushed so loud that there is actual distortion in places. I mean, this is NOT the image of a healthy soundwave... Thanks for posting this John, it shows exactly what I've been trying to say for quite some time now. These "modern mastering" techniques are killing the music in my opinion.

    And I'm the opposite , except that I don't buy TOCJ24s anymore; the sound on many of those is compressed/loud and aggressive - Walter Davis' Davis Cup TOCJ24 is a good example of what I mean, it sounds horrible, a typical victim of "modern mastering".
  12. J.A.W.
    Sorry, but I think you can forget about that. A bad recording can't be remedied by a mastering job.
  13. J.A.W.
    As far as I remember the original LP didn't sound very good either. It's obviously a not-so-good recording.
  14. J.A.W.
    I didn't know these recordings had Bethlehem links...
  15. J.A.W.
    I can't even do that - not that I'd want to...

    Football as played in Europe is older than your so-called "football", so your use of " is misplaced in my opinion. Especially since in our "football", the ball is touched mostly with hands. I hadn't even thought of that...

    Neil Young

    J.A.W. replied to Dmitry's topic in Artists

    Strange, no one (including me) has mentioned Neil's very first album, Neil Young (Reprise 6317), that came out twice in 1968 - Young decided to remix and reissue the album within months of its first release. It's a bit overproduced in my opinion, but it does contain several fine songs, "The Loner" being one of them.

    Well, it's March 2 here now, so happy birthday Al, and many happy returns!
  21. J.A.W.
    I keep looking at Funny Rat, but still can't figure out what it's about! Mostly free/improv.

    Sunshine and wintery showers (rain, snow, sleet), about 4C/40F.

    And, as far as I'm concerned, Zuma. My favorite is Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere.

    The odd combinations you get when you sell some stuff for your son as well as yourself. Yeah right... ( )
