What are songs where people or instruments sound closer to you?

Sarah Vaughan “Ain’t No Use”. Depending on speaker positioning in various systems, I’ve heard her sound huge and front center stage or hear her very far back way beyond the speakers. Placement of other instruments are very well separated with good depth as well.

Erin Bode’s voice has such a pure clean sound and with Mostly  simple recordings, not overly mastered and remastered make for some wonderful listening. I’m listening to  Yoursong Volume 1 and thoroughly enjoying it.

Thanks.

The only Grover I have on vinyl is in sad shape so I turned to the streamer and I’d forgotten how much I liked his stuff.

I have a TON of JT, but of course I don’t have that album, so again back to the streamer!

 I do have Sade and most all the Steely Dan/Donald Fagan albums and they are all good and well recorded.

Thanks for the suggestions.

There are a few different versions  of Ain’t No Use. Any one in particular I should try? I’m listening to the one from “The Divine One”.

Thanks

@CuriousJim That’s where streaming comes in so handy...being able to sample an album before buying physical media.

My copy of "Dad Loves His Work" is a MoFi Superdisk CD. Sadly, I’m not that wild about most of the tracks on it, except "Her Town too" and "Summer’s Here". If I had streamed it first, probably would have passed on buying it.

I guess it works both ways though. I bought Boz Scaggs’ double album, "Dig" after hearing one track. Upon 1st listening, I only liked 2 tracks on the whole 2 disk set...disappointing! But, due to the nature of listening to vinyl, 1 side at a time, I got a real appreciation for 7-8 more tracks after "having" to listen to them because they were on the side where my early favorites were. If I had been streaming, it’s quite likely that I would have put the 2 early favorite tracks on a Playlist and never returned to revisit the rest. That whole album is one of my frequent players.
