"There's an old saying in Tennessee -- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee, that says, fool me once TMR and Verve By Request, shame on -- shame on you. Fool me --- you can't get fooled again."
Are you insinuating that the left hand don't know what the right hand's doin??
I'm insinuating that the Verve By Request series is not worth anyone's time. It is a shit series.
Hahaha, was just pulling another quote from that guy from Texas!
Wasn't aware of that! Good to know. Thanks.
Great album selection, dont get me wrong. But, cheap, thin jackets. Generic white paper inner sleeves. Scuffed up and noisy vinyl pressings with ok mastering. Maybe my standards are too high from the Tone Poet and Acoustic Sounds series, even Blue Note Classics is waaaaaay better than the VBR. Anyways, I found it to be a disappointing series, from the few I've purchased.
This is spot on across the board. I have two of them, both titles I really wanted. I'm not wowed at all. Haven't A/B'd from digital, but it is definitely not night and day.
it's so frustrating because the titles are amazing. but the execution is just. ugh.
acceptable if you have no other options. I had a boot, which I pif'd here. I also got the VBR, which I also PIF'd here. I'm dutifully waiting on the impulse vmp box.
My copy is quiet, and it sounds fine or better. Happy to have it on vinyl, and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it again given the limited options. It’s the only VBR I have.
Yea the 96/97CD is a much better listen
Good to know it works on preorders…
God, Suite for Max Brown is so damn good.
