My haul from Saturday. Was able to pick up the New Order on Seasick
Funny that you say that... we just put it on as well and I asked my husband if he had cleaned the stylus because I thought the sound was not great.Listening to Jazz at Midnite right now and not really thrilled w/ the recording :/ Thoughts?
I haven't got my copy yet but have read quite a few reviews. The source material likely plays a big part in this. Its live recordings from the early 50's and the recording equipment just wasn't what it is today. @HuddieLedbetter put a great review up over on the Blue Note thread yesterday, well worth a read.Listening to Jazz at Midnite right now and not really thrilled w/ the recording :/ Thoughts?
I think "Just listening to -insert random rsd release here- and not really thrilled w/ the recording." should be the new RSD tag line. It's part of the reason I don't bother with RSD.Listening to Jazz at Midnite right now and not really thrilled w/ the recording :/ Thoughts?

It might just be the recording itself. Early jazz recordings can be rough.This was pressed at GZ. I am also disappointed. I might try to offload this now.

Actually my local has it right now.The AL Green is real good. You should try to find a standard copy in the Canadian wilderness.
Did you grab a copy? It does sound really good!Actually my local has it right now.
But I don't need it.Actually my local has it right now.
I was able to snag a copy of the Trojan Records The Ska from Jamaica comp via Amoeba Berkeley’s Discogs page at lunch.
Yeah...if anyone wants this at cost ($35 shipped), I’m not going to listen to this again :/ Hit me upThis was pressed at GZ. I am also disappointed. I might try to offload this now.
Let me know how it is!I was able to snag a copy of the Trojan Records The Ska from Jamaica comp via Amoeba Berkeley’s Discogs page at lunch.
This is the only thing of interest that I didn’t get but was on the fence about it anyway. I had it in my cart from Rough Trade but it sold out while I was browsing for something else to get free shipping
