worst sounding great lps

Bop Til You Drop. What a catastrophe.

Katy Lied

Bop 'til You Drop a "catastrophe"? I dunno, sounded pretty darn good to me. And the music is superlative, one of my all-time favorite albums.

Maybe you need to process your copy with an Intelligent Chip, Geoff? [smile]

good thread--interesting and controversial responses. katy lied had a whole checkered history--apparently the original mix was botched due to dbx and had to be remastered--there's an interesting article about it here: http://www.steelydan.com/dennys3.html. i still think it sounds pretty good, though flatter and not as expansive as their other stuff.
gotta disagree with zep and derek and the dominos--love 'em.

Motorhead - Ironfist
Jethro Tull - Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll

I have a love/hate relationship with Stevie Wonder's 70's albums; some of the stuff is miked great but almost all the albums sound veiled and a little muffled. Yet the music is AWESOME.
