Haha!

I'm only envious of the fact that a lot of you guys have good enough hearing to discern those subtle differences.  I can hear well enough to know I like the warmth of analog vinyl, so my Columbia Legacy editions works just fine for me.  But I do wish I could here it without all the tinnitus racket in the mix.

They are pressing 25k of these too so this seems nuts for it to be like this already but it always happens with releases like this. It's crazy. Hopefully people can buy from AP for a while before getting ripped off.

I ordered two, but I'll gift one eventually. I don't think these will ever sell for much above retail, there are just far too many of them.  Even the MOFIs are sitting at face value now because of the reprint a few months ago.

Did anyone get the Blood Sweat & Tears one step?  How is it?

Just arrived... no info on discogs yet,  but it's Rhino records.  That's all I know right now.  Very mysterious release. 

I'm very curious to how this sounds.  Is it an audiophile pressing?

Yes!  I love it!  Fantastic packaging, and the music sounds amazing! My copy is dead quiet with a huge sound stage.  Spinning Wheel has never sounded better!

It sounds very good, very clean.  If I’m not mistaken, this was one of the first records recorded digitally so it has that sound a bit.  There was a euro version two years ago that was Warner, pressed in Germany.  This version is also Warner and it says presses in Germany.  I suspect this is RL.

Edit - it’s in Discogs now and is the Ludwig version.  I don’t know if it’s to the level of the MOFI or not, but it’s definitely worth the $22 price.

Thanks for the info!  I like the price of this pressing, I'll probably grab it.

Post your view please!  I have those two versions but also a KG stereo version as well.  I really like the mono, but the MOFI probably sounds the best.  It will be nice to have a very high end version at 33, to listen proper.  That's my only criticism of the 45s.

Just a heads up for anyone who still needs it - Painted Shield is up on Amazon.ca for $14.44 CDN.

Got a bunch of stuff today but I have to mention this one separately because I just so dig Leslie West and I cried when he died. 

You rocked so damn good with that big fat sound, Leslie.  Awesome!

Lou solo?  How do you like it?

Just arrived from Blue Note.  Great playing, nice pressing.  But one criticism- to my ears, the drums are too forward in the mix, at times overpowering the other musicians.  That's so slam on Art Taylor, of course, but rather on the mix itself.  Otherwise, superb.

That's interesting.  I love this mix and it's specifically because of the aggressive drums. Dexter might be my favorite sax player and this is now my favorite record from him,  supplanting Take the A Train.

Great music, for sure.  I like the mix on side two better than the first side.  But in any case, I'm really happy to have this.

Seeing the movie "Round Midnight" recently got be back in to Dexter.  I hadn't seen that film since when it came out.  I had forgotten how good it is!  Just love that movie!

It is an amazing sounding record and I'm going to listen to it now.  I haven't seen that movie but I'm going to hunt it down.  I'd love to learn more about his life.

It’s a cool record. Always good to hear more acoustic Lou. It was limited to 200 copies, there were only 7 left when I snagged mine!

I have no doubt you will dig that movie, M!  Really great stuff and with Dexter and the musicians in it... wow!!!
