Kevin Bresnahan Posted June 8, 2020 Report Posted June 8, 2020 Mark Knopfler - Kill To Get Crimson (WB). I can't believe the money this LP is getting these days. I didn't realize it until I searched for a cover shot. It's good but at the same time, it's very similar to his other latter-date releases. I actually prefer "Sailing To Philadelphia". Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted June 8, 2020 Report Posted June 8, 2020 Peter Gabriel/Various Artists - Scratch My Back And I'll Scratch Yours (Real World). In concept, this should have been a great album... and it might have been 20 years earlier, when Gabriel was in his prime. Instead, PG's sides are kind of boring. He only seems to be able to sing in one pitch and the tempos all lag, which gives his versions a sameness that takes away from the songwriters' intent. If you don't pay attention, you might miss a song change. They're that similar. Quote

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted June 10, 2020 Report Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) QUESTION: is as good as the les strand baldwin records?  Is he as crazy on Hammond as he is on Baldwin. The Yamaha demonstration record is pretty out there, but so was that instrument. This one definitely is harder to find than the others, but was wondering if anyone has heard it, thanks Edited June 10, 2020 by chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Quote

Another one by Pete (LaRocca) Sims to check out his his ‘Swingtime’ on Blue Note. A more recent recording and only on CD I think. Edited June 10, 2020 by sidewinder Quote

Wally Traugott's Blue Note cuts are fine. There's always someone wanting to complain somewhere. I bet the ones complaining are back to the "All Wally LPs are cut with a digital master" stuff. I've talked at length with Ron McMaster about the cutting system there are he says that LPs are not cut digitally unless they are only supplied with a digital master by the label. Blue Note did not do that. They always cut Blue Note LPs with master tapes. Nowadays, that might not be true, as they now store the Blue Note masters at an Iron Mountain facility but back when Wally was cutting, the masters were close by. FWIW, if you're into Bob Seger's "Live Bullet" at all, the Wally cut is the only cut you should be looking for. Quote
