Shrdlu Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 Man, what a huge fuss about a recording! It's just a record of a few guys having a blow, not the Bohr theory of the atom. Maybe this should go into the Politics section, which I decided to avoid today. Quote
DrJ Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 (edited) If you aren't into the discussion, why are you reading it Shrdlu? Perhaps you ought to GO BACK to the politics section if you're spoiling for a fight. Quite an attitude. For the record: I'd listen to this great stuff even if it was only available on a broken 78. But that aside, you know, it IS possible to enjoy music AND care about the quality of recording and remastering (considering the recording was done in an era in which the technology allowed a quality job of course).

porcy62 Posted November 30, 2004 Report Posted November 30, 2004 (edited) With the LP you get the nice tonal reproduction, with the CD you get the dynamics. This usually true, but with a great and expensive (compared to cd player's price) analog front end you will not miss the dynamic! B-) Edited November 30, 2004 by porcy62 Quote
Leeway Posted December 1, 2004 Report Posted December 1, 2004 Did another COMPARO today int he interests of audio science and becuase I had some time to kill. Actually, I was reading Bohr's "Theory of the Atom" and decided to take a short break Anyway, played a Liberty/UA pressing, "Van Gelder" in the dead wax, of Jackie McLean's "Action," and compared it to the RVG CD. The comments I made earlier in this thread about my comparison of Horace Silver's "Blowin' the Blues Away" apply here. I won't repeat them. Anyway REALLY interested can go back a page or two Suffice it to say that comparing the two CDs to each other, their characteristics are pretty close. Frankly, on listening to them in this context, my opinion of them went up. I think they are pretty well done. I didn't find anything amiss with the cymbals on either one. One can discern a consistency of approach in the sound of the two CDs. BTW, I am not knocking Wolff's observations, which might very well be on target on the particular CD he cited. Also, I'm not carrying RVG's torch (like he needs me to, right? ). Actually, I'm glad the topic came up, as motivation to do some first-hand observation. BTW, I thought even this later-era pressing sounded pretty good too. Quote
