Whats on your turntable tonight?

there is some pretty high guitar playing on Melissa, I noticed the same thing on a Pretenders LP, I went back and forth, concluded that is what/how they played.

1st impression can be ’too bright’, ’not enough bass’ but play your Cd version, I think we didn’t notice the highs as much because our equipment ’back then’ wasn’t as revealing.

there’s some pretty nice bass on some tracks. If so, when so, that means the other tracks didn't have much bass, it's not the pressing IMO.

Marais And Miranda ‎– Sundown Songs (Decca 1957)

Quirky, yet satisfying.  Love it.

Hey Elliott,

I understand what you’re saying, and you may be right. If you have or can find a copy of "Never Enough" I think you’ll get what I’m saying. Playing them one after another...the differences are stark.

I remember reading in Jim Smith's book that "Breakdown" was one of the cds he traveled with to set up systems. She has some great sounding records.

BTW, what is a cd player?

Warming up with Class of '55 / MOV

Just cleaned the above record on the US. Playing it again now.
Noise reduced from VG+ to mint.
Distortion I figured was groove damage - gone.
Improvement in color and saturation, but the biggest improvement is in the dimensionality. Substantial increase in 3D depth and layering. The voices have bloomed from being somewhat small and pinched into larger and fuller images.
I’m gobsmacked.
