ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE QUESTION TO ANSWER ...


Hello to all...

Hypothetical question: You are going into an audio store to listen to a Cambridge Audio CDX81 Integrated amp and a CDX CD Transport thru speakers you are familiar with (or have at home in your system). You are allowed to bring only ONE CD TO LISTEN TO, by one group and/or one artist - WHAT IS IT AND WHY?

OF COURSE - there were those who will say I don't do CDs - so in that case you can only access ONE COMPLETE ALBUM OF MUSIC BY ONE GROUP OR ARTIST.

NO SINGLE SONGS PLEASE...

NO TWO CHOICES PLEASE - NO "... IF I COULDs PLEASE... "

My Choice: BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS  by Blood Sweat and Tears, 1962. Great tunes, fairly well recorded; lots of horns, drums and "odd sounds"; loud and soft levels throughout; different vocalists solo and in harmony - and lots of Toe-tappin' Music.

What would your choice be?

Of course when you play WOTW for friends they are amazed, and as you say, it keeps casual listeners attention longer than typical.

However, the comment I remember best was from a friend of a friend. My friend and I were into it, and his friend walks into the room, hears just a few secs Mars Death Ray sounds , says "What is this, Rawhide?" and walks out. 

Are you old enough to remember it, the part where he slowly and drawn out repeats Rawhide a few times.
Ohh Wah... Ohh Wah Raw hide .. Raw hide

Funny and memorable.

For digital (compact disc), it would be John Lee Hooker/The Healer and for vinyl, it would be Dr. John/In A Sentimental Mood. Enjoy the music
