H.E. Pennypacker Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) So this is J Mascis’s high school band... seriously. Essentially, J was bored and decided to reform his high school band 30 odd(?) years later. Tracked down one of his buddies who miraculously had one of their tapes, and they set to ‘professionally’ (in the loosest possible use of the term) turning the demo into an album. One of the lads was awaiting parole, and that made it hard for him to travel once out, but they got there. World famous Outer Battery Records was engaged, so high profile was this. I only got wind of it all as I frequented Thm Guitars in Brisbane - purveyor of obscure punk and alt-anything and weirdly mate’s with J via a unique ability to clone his favourite fuzz pedal when no one else could). There is a ‘Live at Tym records” I need to grab. It’s like mudhoney covering a jam session of the Grateful Dead with special guest drug f***ed Jimi Page. I even reckon you could sell this to someone as an obscure side project of a few unnamed famous prog-blues band members and get away with it...

hlov Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Not a fan of Roger Waters but the sound quality of this album is amazing. The music reminds me a bit of the Final Cut. Roger Waters - Radio K.A.O.S. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheekyboy Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Linda Ronstadt - Simple Dreams. Her 1977 recording remastered on a 2LP 45rpm cut by Analogue Productions. They've done a good job with this pressing and oh what a sweet voice Linda had...............................a nice way to kick off a Sunday afternoon. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekyboy Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 friend n fellow - covered. 33rpm on Ruf Records. Easily one of the best acoustic albums I've heard, dynamic, close miked and some unusual interpretations of some well known songs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.E. Pennypacker Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) It’s a great Sunday arvo here in the bubble. IMO, if you love the Beatles and remotely head into the audiophile world and don’t know where to start, you need 4 albums and a best of (unless you’re a freak for them). 1/ Any album before Rubber Soul, AAA mono 2/ and 3/ Rubber Soul and Revolver, AAA mono 4/ Sgt Pepper, AAA mono 5/ A well mastered best of/Beatles in mono Rubber soul and Revolver are the fulcrum of the Beatles. They are the transition from Love me Do to Lucy. Any album prior (mixed with the best of) will get you your early Beatles; Sgt Pepper (mixed with the best of) will get you your concept album era + final years. Sure there are a few gaps, but at 50% the cost of having everything (which gets pricy in the AAA Beatles world), you get 90% of everything anyone except the most ardent Beatles diehard fan would listen to regularly. A streaming subscription or $50 word of CDs on Discogs fills in the rest (The MQA of Pepper is truly phenomenal). Damn the sound of the Rickenbackers on this! The Beatles first foray out of ‘60s pop-rock and into some seriously amazing musical sensibilities.

For me, they’re just an inverted mirror of their early years - great songs surrounded by good songs. This why it’s all prefaced with “IMO” and “to me”.
