sidewinder Posted January 9, 2021 Report Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) The sound is a bit clipped so I guess they used a backup tape not from Dennis Preston but from the Neil Ardley or Jon Hiseman archives. Quite passable though and superb music all round. Updated - turns out the origin was the Neil Ardley archive, also used in the Dusk Fire CD. Edited January 9, 2021 by sidewinder Quote
sidewinder Posted January 9, 2021 Report Posted January 9, 2021 Arrived from HJs. This is a really excellent reissue - Pretty good facsimile. I’ve not compared with the Regal Zonophone but likely not a lot of difference, doesn’t sound like a needle drop. Surprised it hasn’t already sold out at 500 copies. Definitely in the same zone that Keith Tippett’s groups were in during this period - Charig being a common factor. Quote

Daniel A Posted January 12, 2021 Report Posted January 12, 2021 Brown/Roach's 'Study in Brown', 1950s Dutch Emarcy pressing bought by my father when he was fresh out of military service ca 1959. The front cover lists "Ulcer Department" instead of "George's Dilemma", and Wikipedia "claims" the tune was known also under that title, but doesn't explain why, and I've never seen it anywhere else. Anyway - this is a perfect album! On 2021-01-09 at 7:46 PM, kh1958 said: Ahmad Jamal, Tranquility (Impulse) I really like that Jamal album! I often find him a bit too "cold" but not here. Do you also have the "quadrophonic" pressing? I have it, and it sounds good. A guy played me an earlier stereo pressing recently, and Interestingly it sounded worse; one side had very weak bass. On 2021-01-08 at 10:03 PM, sidewinder said: Good man ! ‘The Kicker’ is one of the ones I need to get hold of in the Tone Poet series. Unfortunately, it lacks one of the better cuts from that session out of time restrictions. Quote

sidewinder Posted January 13, 2021 Report Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) I have a quadraphonic ‘Bitches Brew’. Never heard it in other than stereo. My Impulse LP of Sam Rivers’ ‘Crystals’ is playable quad as well. Edited January 13, 2021 by sidewinder Quote

I thought you needed a special turntable to play those LPs? I'm not kh1958, but I've got the same Quadrophonic version of that album. From what I know, you hear all of the sound from the four channels "downmixed" to two-channel stereo. I guess there might be more than one type of quadrophonic lps, but the one I'm familiar with used some sort of "pilot tone" - much like FM stereo radio - to provide the "difference" between back and front channels. Without decoding this supersonic signal, it's just a stereo record. Quote
JSngry Posted January 13, 2021 Report Posted January 13, 2021 You gotta remember, it was the 70s and everybody was high. IIRC, there were two Quad formats for LP (Discrete and ????), one that required a Quad-specific playback system, the other one compatable with a stereo system. My limited experiences with Quad back in the day was that it was interesting, but not really essential, As a precursor to surroundsound, though, it's of historical significance. Our late friend Bob Belden was into creating surround-specific compositions, things that "played" the playback, made it a part of the actual music, not just a post-music consideration. Doing that, I think, is the way ahead, if there is to be one. But Quad? Yeah, everybody was high then. 3 hours ago, jazzcorner said: Which one do you mean? I'v e got the second one, and it's definitely "dance band". Good charts, but like most second-tier Kenton writers, Hanna had a formula and stuck with it come hell or high water. Yeah, Discrete Quad & Matrix Quad, those were the two "big" formats. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadraphonic_sound Quote
