Rickie Lee Jones "Pop Pop"


Despite this album being one of the better recordings in my collection, I still find Rickie's voice on the track "I'll be seeing you" to be so irritating when she hits the higher notes. Is it just me or does her voice sound so irritating? Most other cuts are fine.

No, I don't find her voice irritating on that track. Perhaps you're listening too loud? In my experience with many audiophiles, all too many are cranking beyond the linear range of their systems. Not all, but many.
i really enjoy this recording. i have no issues with it at all. it's quiet and clean throughout. i really enjoy her style and her interpretations of songs. another winner is "it's like this" lp or cd, both sound fantastic.
Yes, "It's like this" on double 45 12" is awful! Both in sound as in performance as well.

Another admirer of RLJ's music...
Love the recording and performance. Found that it really improves with a good destat from the Bedini. Rolls the rough off and opens up everything.

Have owned the album since its debut and found its sonic character to change dramatically depending on which system I've had at the time.
I have many of her recordings and find her hopelessly mannered, with "Pop Pop" being among the worst. So why do I keep buying them? Beats me :-)
