jose Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) I guess that this is not the appropriate thread (sorry guys) but I think it's a very interesting video. As you all know, I like to collect different versions/editions of certain pieces. "Kind of Blue" is one of them. Right now I think I have about 7 different editions (vinil and cd). I admit that the reel to reel tape is something that has always attracted me, although I don't dare to enter that world.

mikeymad Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Time to catch-up on my musical Blog.. I have been listening, but have not been taking the time to post, I hope that my schedule will slow down in the future to keep on top of it. So much to listen to. Anyway. Study In Brown Clifford Brown, Max Roach 1955 https://album.link/i/1434889869 Example: This '55 Mercury recording is really good and catching the Cliff and Max combo pack in a good place. Other than the possibly racist 'Cherokee' track, a very fun set. Dusty In Memphis Dusty Springfield 1969 https://album.link/i/302307350 Example: Such a pretty voice. We all know Preacher Man, but this album has a lot of great tunes and highlights Dusty's talents. And Many thanks to the members of The Memphis Boys making the sound so good. Mo '69 The Allman Brothers Band (Deluxe Edition) The Allman Brothers Band 1969 https://album.link/i/1469577513 Example: I added this to my queue (along with Brothers and Sisters) a while ago after hearing a track off the youtubes. I never owned any of their albums, I just heard radio play back in the day. I have to say I really like the brand of blues and rock that they put out there. Good recording. Also be careful when someone asks for what to wear for the photo shoot, and you say, whatever you want. RoundAgain Joshua Redman, Brad Mehldau, Christian McBride, Brian Blade 2020 https://album.link/i/1502112092 Example: Just an awesome quad. I hope that they continue to do some colabs while they are in this groove, I need more, and to see them play live. Leonid Kogan Plays Brahms & Khachaturian Leonid Kogan, Philharmonia Orchestra, Boston Symphony Orchestra 2012 https://album.link/i/570710062 Example: I am not sure how this got into my queue. Maybe a stereophile testing track? Anyway, really a good recording, for what I was expecting to be a more historical recording (1958,59). I was not familiar with the Khachaturian piece, but something that I will look for going forward. Good balanced recording for orchestra and soloist. Ah, a little research later - turns out that the second work was recorded by RCA and released originally as Red Seal 'Shaded Dog' label. So, yeah - good recording. It is a little tricky when looking through a list and you see 'Guild Historical' as the label on the cover. So, I am glad that I got to listen to this one. And Speaking of happy listening. Revolver (Super Deluxe) The Beatles 1966 https://album.link/i/1643394501 Example: It has been a while since I have listened to this album. The 2022 mix came up somewhere, and there was a lot of chatter and some controversy. People getting all but hurt about this version verses that version and original bla bla. Putting all that aside. I listened to this diligently. And yup, frickin amazing. I go back between this and Rubber as my fav albums of this era for them. The exploration of song format and the introduction of instruments really pushed these froward. Do I need the other 50 tracks of outtakes and false starts? Not really. But what those really point out is how much George Martin was there to piece together all these cuts and tracks into pretty cohesive songs. They were not a one take live to tape band. Also like that there are rough edges and studio artifacts left in. Anyway - back to listening. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymad Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 Diamond Mine Jubilee Edition King Creosote, Jon Hopkins 2012 https://album.link/i/519264618 Example: Kind of a sweet album overall. Simple melodies that are lyric forward. And lots of environmental sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 Two other versions of Son of a Preacherman that I've always enjoyed, by two Bobbie's... In fact this Bobbie Cryner album is a favorite of mine. Country, but not your standard Country. Jazz influenced for sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have several different versions of it (mono, stereo, Japanese, vinyl, cd, deluxe, etc... including an original from '66 that I bought on a visit to London a few years ago) and this is undoubtedly the best of them or at least it's the one I enjoy the most in terms of sound.

HiWire Posted July 24, 2023 Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) I just checked reviews of the Beatles Stereo box set from 2009... some reviewers were complaining about the stereo mixing, and there was the new Giles Martin mix in 2022. Maybe I'm glad I waited this long to get the Beatles albums. I can see from searching online that the other albums haven't received this special remastering treatment yet, either. It's a little crazy looking at the various way this album is packaged and priced in 2023. You can also get the Japanese SHM release from Universal Japan.
