Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO

After listening to lp 2 ("ATMP"), what I felt is each individual instrument is more recognizable on it's on merit. Especially the piano. The whole seams more personal.

There's been so much hype around this release that it kind of messes with your music memory.
Couldn't help it....put on lp 2 from the original "ATMP", side4. Immediately noticed stronger transients, overall sound seems more open. On "The Art of Dying", the sound on the original seems more like a "rock show", on the 50th, it's more personal. "Isn't it a Pity", Bobby's piano is off to the left and not as prominent as in the latest version. Again, the original mix doesn't seem as personal. I'm beginning to like the new version better, we'll see. The 50th has a warmer overall character which seems to be more appropriate for that period in time.
