Ray LaMontagne "Monovision"
@big_greg were you playing your OP from high school? My brother has my copy. Along with a big stack of my other high school era treasures. ….need to retrieve those. |
@reubent Re: Patto - Eponymous
a second and close listen (requires significant restraining of the involuntary head banging…) confirm no background hiss. Just significant clipping and distortion of vocals and guitar notes. Major distorted sibilance on the vocals, low fidelity on vocal and guitar track’s especially in the second and third sections, but no generalized noise or hiss. Contrast that with the drums and vibes which sound spectacular. Cymbals especially. Maybe the guitar and vocal mikes they used on that track were broken ( tubes?). Rest of side one is fine. |
Brian, I strongly recommend "If I Could Only Remember My Name" 50th Anniversary Edition. Really good music, really well done remaster/reissue. My copy is exceptionally quiet vinyl. I hope that yours will be, too. Got back from Mammoth Mountain. Awesome skiing! We skied the storm all day on Thursday, I love doing that. Got rear-ended Thursday evening. Nobody hurt, low speed collision. Now I have to deal with the insurance, body shop, etc. Cr&p happens... My wife did not want my hi-fi on last night. Party pooper! I'll get back to spinning vinyl today or tomorrow. |
