sidewinder Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 Best pressing I ever heard of 'East Broadway Rundown' was a mono on HMV. Quote
JohnS Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 Best pressing I ever heard of 'East Broadway Rundown' was a mono on HMV. I still have mine. Some original Impulse albums sound far better in their early mono form. Quote

BillF Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) The Dick Morrissey quartet - It`s Morrissey, Man! And who would have thought that the guy carting the bass on the rail track would turn into Stevie Wonder's production sidekick Still playing in the US. Tom 1960 tells me he saw him on bass recently at a gig in upstate new York and was surprised by the British accent. Edited June 27, 2013 by BillF Quote
sidewinder Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 Great to hear that, Bill ! Best pressing I ever heard of 'East Broadway Rundown' was a mono on HMV. I still have mine. Some original Impulse albums sound far better in their early mono form. I have quite a few of those - the 'Love Supreme' in the HMV imprint is a particular favourite. Quote

(Bought in 1965) Except that these mid-60s mono pressings are fold downs from the stereo master. You can get the same effect by using a y cord. I'm not saying anything about the pressing, just that "Mono" isn't a mix. Now playing: Coleman Hawkins - The High And Mighty Hawk (Affinity). Not the greatest sounding LP I've ever heard. It sounds like Affinity got a late generation tape to cut with. Quote

It sounds like Affinity got a late generation tape to cut with. All the Affinity`s I ever have had sounded crap , cheap UK reissuelabel. Try to buy the UK-pressings of Felsted. p.s. I love this album!!! Edited June 27, 2013 by tomatamot Quote
Clunky Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 Affinity was certainly a cheap label but it would be quite wrong to say they all sound poor. I've a number of examples which sound very good with very quiet surfaces. Material culled from Vee Jay, Bethlehem, BYG etc. Crap covers with nasty cover "art" but often with a thoughtful essay by Brian Priestly. Quote

colinmce Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 It seems like Affinity must have been a godsend in the pre-CD/mass re-issue era. Quote
