What Recordings Of Yours Did Not Age Well?


I happened to be scrolling through Napster in the Red Garland section and found "Red Alert", an album that I bought on vinyl in 1978 when I had a Sansui 771 receiver, Technics turntable with Shure V15 Type III, and generic 12 inch 3-way speakers.  I remember that I'd heard a tune from the album on the local FM jazz station and went out and bought the album the same day.  I hadn't listened to the album in 30 years.  I cued it up on Napster and sat down and listened to it.  Tidal and Amazon do not have this recording.  It was a pleasant listening experience, but nothing that would make me want to buy it today if I didn't own it....and if I never hear it again, I won't miss it.  For the life of me I can't remember what tune on the LP convinced me to buy it.  Back in 1978, I was very discriminating how I spent my money on recordings because I was recently out of college....and a music purchase had to really count.

Do you have any recordings that didn't age well in this regard?

+1 on Garland, who I think of as a bit underappreciated, compared to greats like Peterson and Evans.

I like Groovy and Soul Junction a lot, and of course the In recordings with the Miles Five.  High Pressure less so.

Other RG recs?

 

 

All my Zeppelin & Sabbath for sure along with Grand Funk and a few others. Totally worn out from play with the cheap record players I had as a youngin. Fortunately I have new ones now

All Chicago Lp's after 3 and some of the later ELP why I bought them I don't know. Also the Rolling Stones after Tattoo You questionable purchases.

Alan Parsons Project - Pyramid. I remember this seeming like a great recording on my old Technics. Now it sounds crap. No idea why. Everything else sounds great.
