David Crosby "If I Could Only Remember My Name" 50th

Costing me money Steve 😉 Just snagged this. Never had it. 

@reubent Re: Patto - Eponymous

 

a second and close listen (requires significant restraining of the involuntary head banging…) confirm no background hiss. Just significant clipping and distortion of vocals and guitar notes. Major distorted sibilance on the vocals, low fidelity on vocal and guitar track’s especially in the second and third sections, but no generalized noise or hiss. Contrast that with the drums and vibes which sound spectacular. Cymbals especially. Maybe the guitar and vocal mikes they used on that track were broken ( tubes?). Rest of side one is fine.

Brian, I strongly recommend "If I Could Only Remember My Name" 50th Anniversary Edition.  Really good music, really well done remaster/reissue.  My copy is exceptionally quiet vinyl.  I hope that yours will be, too.

Got back from Mammoth Mountain.  Awesome skiing!  We skied the storm all day on Thursday, I love doing that.  Got rear-ended Thursday evening.  Nobody hurt, low speed collision.  Now I have to deal with the insurance, body shop, etc.  Cr&p happens...

My wife did not want my hi-fi on last night.  Party pooper!  I'll get back to spinning vinyl today or tomorrow.

Looking forward to it Joel. Streaming it right now, nice, but am sure the vinyl will be even better.

Sucks about your little collision, but unfortunately no collision is very small with new/newer cars these days. At least you got some good skiing in 👍🏼

Just caught this scrolling back today. Oh man, I might have to snag that. I have none of their recordings. Hard to believe these guys didn’t produce more and get more recognition. Excellant stuff. Thanks!

Brian, you may wish to consider the 2 newest CDs along with the vinyl.  “The Inward City” was produced by David Thomas (long time fan and supporter) and recorded/mixed at Suma by Paul Hamann.

By the way, a bit delayed but glad your mother is doing better.  I worry endlessly about mine because she’s 2500 miles away.
