JohnT Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 I just purchased this West Coast Classic 2-CD Set -- "Gerry Mulligan Original Quartet with Chet Baker". I have a question for anyone else who has it. On disc 1, track 1, the song "Get Happy" I hear what , at first, I thought was a lot of tape hiss during the track. The hiss doesn't appear on any other songs on the CD from what I have heard thus far. Does anyone know whether this is in the original tape source or is this CD defective?? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 I can tell you that the tape hiss is on the LP. I suspect that it's because this was a home recording and the equipment, perhaps even the actual tape iteself, might not have been of the highest quality. But that's purely speculation.

Guest ariceffron Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 dont be retarted---- its a fucking home recording from like 1951 or something. read the liner notes. jesus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted March 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 JSnrgy -- Thanks for your quick reply!!! I REALLY appreciate it!!! Ariceffron -- the hiss is NOT apparent on the other 2 tunes from the same home recording session which is why I was questioning it. Also, there is NO mention of the hiss in the liner notes (I did read them) and YES I do know that these recordings were from 1952 so the sound isn't going to be perfect but... GEEZ, I was only asking a simple question... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnT Posted March 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Don't get me wrong. I love these CD's. I could give a crap if the sound is on the source tape 'cause I agree -- just to be able to hear this music is a blessing!!!! But the sound I heard at first listen was similar to a factory mastering problem I've heard before -- I just wanted to check to see if anyone experienced the same problem. However, after closer listening maybe it is in the source tape. It don't matter 'cause this music is FANTASTIC!!! ...and man you guys are funny!!!!!

JohnT Posted March 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 As it turned out my Disc was defective ( ) and I exchanged it for a new one. This one sounds great!!! I wish I had the OOP Mosaic Set but I will have to make do with this excellent 2-CD set!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
