Great sounding/recorded albums
@bdp24, not having heard all of Roy’s Monument recordings (but plenty of his compilations) I can say that his 1986 re-recording of his hits (In Dreams) is my favourite. Apparently Monument had threatened to destroy the original master tapes over some legal dispute so Roy went back into the studio to deliver this ‘gift’ to his fans. Tirelessly beautiful sound throughout - and all the hits. Perhaps not the goto disc for the purists or those who were there first time around, but a near perfect record nevertheless. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Dreams:_The_Greatest_Hits |
I can see that @tostadosunidos. Those Southerners have an unfair advantage ;-) . Have you heard Patsy’s very early recordings, before Owen Bradley began producing her? She was much more Hillbilly early on, almost Rockabilly (as were guys like George Jones and Johnny Horton, and the great Wanda Jackson, whose two recent albums were produced by Jack White!). Another great early Rock ’n’ Roll act recorded in good sound were The Everly Brothers. Both their Cadence (late-1950’s) and early Warner Brothers’ albums (1960 onward) possess good recorded sound, especially on the Ace Records (UK) LP’s pressed in the 1980's. |
