stevoz Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) @BuzzzFuzzz It's getting hazy already. Tried to spin new s/h purchase, 'Face Value' Phil Collins, only to find it's warped enough to skip grooves, most of the way through 'In The Air Tonight' and right through the drum roll.....I didn't bother with the rest. Probably bought it too long ago to bother trying for a refund. I'll flatten it one day. Now spinning another unplayed recent purchase, 'Kansas' s/t debut album on new (transparent) vinyl, sounds great despite a little surface noise.....and looks great!

Me2also Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 THE STOOGES: GIMMIE DANGER Saw mention of Iggy back there and had a hankering. This is a great album. I'd love to catch the film. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevoz Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Been listening to this over dinner....another recent s/h purchase, The Doobie Brothers "What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits" (1st pressing)....I'll admit I bought this one for 'Blackwater' but the whole album is really great! Nice recording too.... Edited March 18, 2019 by stevoz 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzzFuzzz Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 At the risk of opening up a religious debate (I jest)... a little Christian, big hair Metal... Stryper 'To Hell with the Devil' 1986 Enigma Records. Big Time Records, Aust. Good looking boys and talented musicians/vocalists, their harmonies are superb. I consider myself spiritual, but very f**kin far from religious. My mates and I went to see them play at Homebush somewhere, sometime (we were very stoned). It was a great gig and we had a little chuckle at some of the crowd, and we nearly fell over laughing when the band threw bibles into the audience. Ohhhh - to be young again. Huge anthem, sing along Metal. "You make my life complete" (Jesus, of course). One track is even titled 'Sing-Along Song' The title track has always been a favourite. I like to pair up this album with some Sabbath. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit, it was never an 'outstanding' recording but the music makes it worth it. Speaking of outstanding recordings.....Welcome to The Pleasure Dome. Enjoy.....post peel.

Devin Townsend has a new album about to drop with three drummers as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cazzesman Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Long time since I have listened to this. My Audio system has taken many leaps forward in sound quality IMHO since the last play. I settled in last night to listen. I only lasted 2 songs. What a horrible thin mix this is. Jeff's vocals and guitar are out front but any drums and bass are a token gesture. There is just no supporting bottom end, it is all just watery back there behind Jeff. This morning I looked up the credits on the Album. Engineering and Mixing were down to Greg Ladanyi & Thom Panunzio. These guys have some runs on the board with Fleetwood Mac, Jackson Brown and Don Henley to name a few. Perhaps they were tasked to highlight Jeff and forget the rest. If anyone has the Album, please give it a spin and let me know if I am off base (bass) with my thoughts. The Dynamic Range Database suggests it's fine but that is based on lossy unknown source. Artist Album Year avg DR min DR max DR Codec Source The Jeff Healey Band See The Light 1988 13 12 15 lossy Unknown Regards Cazzesman Edited March 19, 2019 by cazzesman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candyflip Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Julia Jacklin - 'Crushing' Listening to this sophomore effort a bit on MP3, since it's release. Really not liking it anywhere near as much as the debut album. The writing IMHO is weaker, and the sombre tone relies on her cracked voice far too much for my taste. I'm finding 'Comfort' a really annoying song for example - I'm pressing skip every time it comes up. Any album that has a 'skip song' loses quite a few points for me...

stevoz Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) Starting the days listening with another s/h LP bought while the TT was out of action...... Manfred Mann's Earthband 'Chance' Canadian 1st pressing. They'd hit the 80's and it reflects in this one. Sort of commercial prog soft rock but it's still a good one. Manfred's Moog reigns supreme.... Edited March 19, 2019 by stevoz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
