danasgoodstuff Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Anyone heard this? I was thinking of getting the records store day version on vinylt 'cause it's got some extra, but it's $40, real money to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 If it is the release on Real Gone, sound quality is supposed to be awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasing the Korean Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 I love the track "East-West." It sounds like the soundtrack for an American International exploitation film about LSD or Sunset Strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 The sound is not awful--not great (better for Butterfield than for Bloomfield), but it is acceptable. If you've heard the two studio albums countless times, you have to get it, but I would get it on CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming this is the Dustygroove-associated label (and not Real Gone Jazz or whatever that crapola cheapo label is called exactly). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 It's a legitimate label--the one that partners with dustygroove in its jazz reissues. Also, it released the recent Herbie Mann Live at the Whiskey 1969. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Not accusing Real Gone of any illicit activity, just know what I have read in some reviews about the sound quaility. 16 of 31 Amazon reviews give it 1-3 stars (out of 5), almost all based on the sound quaility, and even several of the 4 star ratings say the sound is really bad. I'd want to at least hear some samples before plunking down my $14. Great band, I'm sure the music holds up well apart from sound concerns. On the Mann Whiskey set, fascinating stuff (some great, some not so much, but all of interest) and the sound is excellent, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danasgoodstuff Posted January 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 I've heard this now on CD and LP. The extras are the other guys singing, pretty weak. The sound quality is poor, but not piss-poor. Performance good, but no more than moments of greatness. I'd probably recommend the leftovers from the first one (Original Lost Elecktra Session) ahead of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
