Un-Grateful Thread - What Are You Listening to Instead of the Dead?

Possibly my favorite Steely Dan album.

 

killer album dream on

 

Early Beatles-In STEREO:

meet the beatles
beatles second album
something new
early beatles
help!

and of course the UK early albums in STEREO

 

Isn't the mono stuff supposed to be the only way to listening to these?

 

Cyndi Lauper - She's So Unusual

"All Through the Night" is especially great.

 

Father and son Watson. The Bear recordings from '74 is what I'm into right now

 

spacy and lsd

 

So good!

 

Really great record. Matt Cameron and Ged in tandem was a very good idea.

 

The Beauty Process.

 

LP and CD have some different cuts/versions. Worth having both. The Big Come Up is just so darn refreshing. I stopped at El Camino and have enjoyed them live. Super heavy rotation at my house until Turn Blue. Magic Potion has never really stood out for me.

 

Opinions differ. Personally, I like everything up through Help! in mono or stereo and then stereo only starting with Rubber Soul. Overall, I prefer stereo to mono, but mono does have its merits, especially in the more focused presence in the drums and vocals. Of course there are many cases of different source tapes being used for mono masters than those used for stereo masters, so there's that also.

 

That's a good way to put it.

 

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner! I really don't like those early stereo mixes. If someone grew up with them, fine, I understand, but I didn't.

 

Nilsson - Nilsson Schmilsson
