Rock: well recorded bass...60s/70s

Follow your daughter home by the guess who

Can't go wrong with Marley or Tosh for quality low end...and remember...its never the recording...its your system! Lol

Listened recently to The Strawb's "Grave New World" 1998 A&M remastered CD (album first released 1972). This CD sounds great (music and sound quality; NOT hot and harsh as for many re-masters)). In particular very much enjoyed John Ford's bass playing. I had not heard much about him; looking him up on Wikipedia, he has quite the resume.

I so wish John Entwistle's live sound had been captured on tape. It was ASTOUNDING! No recording of him comes close to what he sounded like on stage.

A lot has to do with the particular mastering and pressing. A couple of young friends came over yesterday with a pile of vinyl they just acquired; one was a lime green Capitol of The Band's "brown" album which they thought was an "RL" cut. I cleaned it for them, and cued it up; couldn't see his initials in the deadwax. We played part of the first track. I then pulled out my copy, which is an RL. Vast difference- bass galore. And this happens so frequently with so many older pressings- not just in the bass region, either. Makes you much more selective about which copies you are looking for.....
