I have that Boz Scaggs album. Bought it new back in about 1974 so it has to be a reissue since it was first released in 1969. The record is in perfect condition and even the jacket is M-. Wonderful music, my favorite Scaggs album. However, my copy is not so great in SQ. I played it a few months back but now I'll give it a deep cleaning with the US machine and see if that helps. Fantastic album!

@boxer12-regarding Flying Saucer Attack, I take it you have "Mirror" (2000) which followed "New Lands" (1997). If this is the only FSA album you have, I might suggest "Distance" (1994) which is a compilation of early 7" releases plus some other gems. Very creative and listenable. I like many of the spacey shoe gaze (a term most musicians detest) groups of the 80s~90s, particularly the Bristol groups which includes Flying Saucer Attack, Movietone, Third Eye Foundation, Crescent among others. During Dave's (Pearce) Bristol days, members of the aforementioned groups often performed with each other. Dave recorded everything in the analog domain and for the most part avoided any digital doo-dads. Vocals were meant to be in the background, not necessarily intelligible. Very lo-fi. Have you listened to Boards of Canada (especially "The Campfire Headphase)? Or the last My Bloody Valentine release "m b v" (recently re-released on Domino UK)? |
