porcy62 Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 In order to relief my pain for the Dameron/Trane's infamous side 2, I'm going to spin Sonny's "Way Out West". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Tadd Dameron and John Coltrane - MATING CALL - Prestige yellow 50th label. Nice . What's the pressing like on side 2? Sorry for the delay, I was in Turkey. Holiday Side 2 is good, as far I remember. Why are you asking it? Welcome back. I was asking re: the side 2 as every copy I've ever heard had less than great pressing quality on the last track. Not sure why this is. You're right: the sound of the last track is "congested", overall all side 2 is worst then side 1. I checked it on my Coltrane's Prestige cd set, even on the cd the tracks on side 1 of the vinyl are better then side 2, though they sounds better then my 50th pressing's side 2. Pretty bizzare. No clues in the box set's libretto. I was playing the OJC CD of that the other day - didn't notice a thing except the music. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MG If you listen to carefully at "Super Jet" you should find a less defined sound, I would say "congested", the instruments are melted togheter. Try to compare this track with the others. In my vinyl and my cd I can hear a difference. If you don't, just drop the issue and think "Fuck those anally retentive audiophiles, this is a great record".

paul secor Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Miles Davis: "Four" and More I remember buying this LP when it was first issued, listening to it and thinking that Miles was the greatest trumpeter ever. I didn't have the listening experience to make that kind of judgement back then (nor do I now - wouldn't be that presumptuous), but listening today I can understand why I felt the way I did.

No clues in the box set's libretto. Thanks for checking, Porcy - this seems to be a fault on every 50th St pressing of this one I've ever come across. My copy is archival quality - it was played just once or twice with great care by the previous owner, a producer/critic (heck, even the rice paper inner is in near mint). It seemed so bizarre that the sound on side 2 was so inferior - what I hear is low signal/noise (especially for a deep groove) and a generally 'thin' sound. Especially pronounced on that great track, 'Super Jet'. Ah well. As you say, the music is fabulous anyway and side 1 is the 'dog's bollocks'. Still a wonderful LP Edited September 2, 2007 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcy62 Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 (edited) Listening, and cleaning, (since I bought a VPI RCM I am listen to every record I have in order to cleaning it, so I discovered some forgotten gems, and some crap too, in my collection) THE CONCERT FOR BANGLADESH. Anyway a good and useful way to realize what I have on the shelves. I still like this one, after so many years.

sidewinder Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Listening, and cleaning Same hear ! Just cleaned up that Hampton Hawes. It only cost about £12 a few years ago - full of crud in the grooves but after a few cleans it sounds real nice. VPI rules ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
