When I was a kid in the late 60’s all my music came thru a hand held transistor radio. Even then I connected emotionally with certain top 100 AM radio station hits. occasionally I would hear someone else’s radio and recognized it sounded better.
10 years later when I got an all in one Lloyd’s stereo. At first the majestic richness of instruments (doobie bros “listen to the music”) so satisfied me, like instantly feeling that I got my money’s worth and music will never sound the same. and then I heard some of the older songs I only knew from my transistor radio days. First time hearing them in stereo instead of mono. the songs sounded wierd, off ( Turtles “happy together”). It felt sacrilegious like somebody changed the trumpet player, things that weren’t there before.
In a frenzy I tried listening to more and more older songs as I was amazed that certain Beatles songs had all vocals on the left channel only.
in life you only get one chance to make a first impression. There is no amount of money I can throw at my system to recapture the magic of being young to get those same emotions. So I find that I am enjoying new emotions. now when I listen to the Turtles, I marvel at how they captured a magnificent sound in the 60’s and how well produced their recordings are.
if you want to see a funny video, check out YouTube of Flo and Eddie describing how they were cheated by all their agents and are still in debt. Charts and all.
