I see you found it!
Well now, too lazy to type a bunch of stuff, so here are some observations from a shoot out I posted awhile back. Missing in the pic were a JPN CD and about three US pressings.
I will say that this title is sorta' like Dark Side in that they all sound good!
.
And all IMHO!!!
.
- JPN CD: (not pictured) Not bad for Redbook, great for the road!
- Classic DVD-A: Wow! Master tape sound indeed! Very detailed, sonic signature in line with the UK, albeit with a softer bottom end and highs that I find brutal at times, makes me grab the remote and bump it down. Especially on the 192/24 side. And priced too crazy now to be a viable option.
- US: Nicely balanced, has detail and guts, while from dupes, they must have been good ones! Plentiful and cheap (at one time) in the states...no shame in it's game!
- MoFi: Typical smiley faced, but still a fun/detailed spin. And the inky black background makes what it has just POP!!!! Fun spin!
- German: Winner of the 'most fun' award. Huge bottom end! Albeit at a cost to extension in the highs, also a tad more congested presentation than the others. Again, just loads of fun!!!
- UK: Well, this is what I would call the 'Goldilocks press'. Everything just comes together right on this one - 'hit it and quit it' lows, sweet extension in the highs, open soundstage.
I have the files. I have to put them in the right order manually to listen to the album correctly. Part of me being a purist. I believe some albums are ordered the way they are on purpose and that's how I want to hear them. I still need a new copy. I may have to just buy a new CD to get it.I see you found it!
Come back soon Smitty.Going to take a break from AK and this thread for a few days. So I can recharge my Batteries LOL! Catch you on the flip side my listening friends. Keep the music going and enjoy.
My guess is it's fuzzy's wobble lamp.
Who's that writin'?
