The David Crosby is a winner IMHO. Great music, and sound. It was different than CSN, but I still heard the influence. Artists on the album included Joni Mitchel, Graham Nash, and many Grateful Dead members. Just after enjoying the album, I put on a side of the CSN s/t Classic reissue. Such great music, but it sounded a bit flat in comparison to the David Crosby solo LP. The Classic was nice and quiet, so not to knock Classic. I think this may just be one of those you can't polish a turd circumstances. I am looking forward to hearing the Neil Young EKTIN.
Neil Young/ CSN new vinyl releases
I know these are brand new, but just wanted to see what everyone thought about them. I have found that Everybody Knows this is Nowhere is really hard to find in nice condition used. I am looking forward to these, as they are pressed at the Pallas plant in Germany. I believe some of the Pure Pleasure releases were pressed at Pallas, and they have impressed many including myself. I am also interested in the CSN (debut) album, and the David Crosby solo album, although I can't remember it's name. That was my stupid Thanksgiving joke. I would think the CSN/Crosby will ultimately be compared to the Classic releases, of which CSN is the one I own.

My review of the Rhino 180 gram Crosby, Stills & Nash vinyl is now up at Myvinylreview. There is so much more bass on this reissue, that it sounds like the engineer for the original 1841 Broadway issue must have definitely rolled off the bass during mastering (this new version is like an RL Zep II compared to the original). Read the full review here: http://myvinylreview.blogspot.com/20...-180-gram.html |
Thanks for the link to your review 51nocaster, certainly sounds like a great job done by Rhino on this one. I listened to the Neil Young: Everybody Knows this is Nowhere last night. Overall, I was really impressed by it. I thought it leaned toward a fuller sound, w/ great detail. The 140 Gram vinyl as Jaybo said, was quiet. This and the David Crosby were nice purchases for me. I would give the Crosby an 8.5/10 for sound, and the Neil a 7.5/10. The CSN on classic maybe a 6.5/10. You know, the s/t couch album. Those are my review ratings for this month. Stay tuned for my CDP setup DVD, where in part 1, I will demonstrate opening the drawer. Seriously though, I hope to see more threads like this one, where we can share our thoughts on new Vinyl. After all, we are paying a premium for it, so it would be cool to hear more about it. |
