Hi,
I looking for members that have experiance with this lp's
so how does it sounds compere to other Blue Note reissue?
Is there any tital that recommended?
What about the new cd's?
I have this :
1) Lee Morgan-Sidewinder
2)Hank Mobley-Soul Station
3)Somethin'Else
Follow Ups:
I think you would do better to buy Classic Records reissues. I've sold most of those 180g reissuesOr buy Liberty and UA pressings(with 'van gelder' in dead wax), especially of Soul Station and Somethin' Else.. You can even get nice original, New York USA, copies of Sidewinder for $25-50(it was a big seller).
I'd also look for a nice New York USA copy of Somethin' Else.
unless they have since remastered it. I bought this a couple years ago -- while the sound is ok, the mix is horrible, IMO. I later got the RVG remix on CD, on which the mix is much better -- I've not listened to the vinyl since. I have the Something Else, but haven't listened to it in a long time or compareed it to my older pressing or the CD -- if I do, I'll add a follow up here
That's interesting...I have just the opposite opinions on these discs. The 180g Blue Note reissues are very good considering they are half the price of the Classic pressings, very quiet vinyl and decent masters while the RVG cds are bright (did I say bright? I meant BRIGHT) wuth a narrower stereo image. RVG did some great work in his day but I think his hearing is shot over 4k.
i agree about how bright they are, of course a lot of them are reissued mono which is nice but i just cant take how strident they are.
bother my origginal mono out to lunch and later UA stereo sound pretty good to me, but neither were the digital masters they did later. still, the actual mixes should be the same. I for one, hate the remastering on RVG cd's.
It's been awhile since I did this comparison, and I've since bought a new TT and amp, so it will be fun to do it again -- my recollection is that I liked my old Blue Note, bought the resissue and found the mix to be a bit wierd -- certain instruments unduly highlighted, while others lost. When I heard the RVG CD, I found the balance between the instruments to be much better. I didn't even realize there was a Classic reissue -- I'd be curious to hear that.
there is not a classic re-issue of "Out to lunch" there may be a blue not one. Blue note did "out to lunch all the way up to their DMM series i think. One of my top all time favorites.
I have the Soul Station and Somethin' Else albums and they are very nice, but I don't have the originals to compare. I do have the original of Sidewinder and the quality of the reissues compares favorably to that one. I have Somethin' Else on ceedee and it doesn't compare to the vinyl for all the usual reasons.
