m00n Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Gotta remember, I was 80's school. I was a huge Michael Jackson Thriller fan. Would have denied it to my dying breath though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garymd Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Digital Master Disc, "The Bee Gees Music" Maestro Carmen Dragon conducting The Glendale Symphony Orchestra with Sabu. This is basically Saturday Night Fever. An Orinda Records 1979 lp I picked up God knows where but it's an amazing recording which is why I play it on occasion. My guess is I'm the only forum member with a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'll also listen to Marilyn Manson, 311, Crash Test Dummies, and Norah Jones...should I still be embarrassed to admit I like this music to all you here? Oh, and I also have the "Saturday Night Fever" LP...You should be dancing, yeah... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike stehr Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 The Dave Brubeck Quartet: "Jazz Impressions of New york City." Charlie Shavers: "Excitement Unlimited" (Mono) A couple of one dollar estate sale records. In great shape, though used. The Jimi Hendrix "Axis: Bold as Love" is pretty trashed, and that sucks! I really need to get a TT, if I keep buying LP's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few references in some of the rock music. Now, I often start the day with Bach. The cello suites is what lit lit my fuseup to four versions. Then sonatas and partitas for solo violin, Goldberg variations... Something about the intricate patterns, energizing yet relaxingand with solo instrumentation. It's almost as if Bach is it's own category of music. I also sampled recordings by Fox and Biggs in the store but chose Hurford because it seemed to have more body, dynamics, better pace. But I was probably only hearing 1/10 of the sound through h-phones. How would you say the Fox and Biggs recordings compare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Garrison Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen - "Seeds and Stems Again Blues" Great song. Unfortunately, most of my friends these days have no idea what the hell they're talking about... By the way, anyone know why there was never any mention of the old Commander Cody TeeVee show being credited re The Rocketeer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 According to my old LPs, the Columbia Masterworks label that E. Power Biggs recorded with was decent sounding, with good sonic clarity and warmth. Not the best by any stretch of the imagination, but not the worse either. On the other hand, I don't know what Dr. Virgil Fox was thinking when he recorded with the RCA Red Seal label...awful is the only word to describe it! Flat, two dimensional sound, dull, lifeless, and at times highly distorted! The CD versions of these LPs have been remastered for better dynamics and imaging, but the source tapes and/or direct-to-disc masters still suck out loud, so it's hard to improve on them. Which is a real shame seeing how I thoroughly enjoy Fox's post-romantic interpretations and playing technique over Bigg's strictly purist's interpretations (both late, great organists were outstanding in their style of performance, but I like how Fox would jazz things up a bit IMO)!

Maybe there's a correlation here. woo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I truly *LOVE* Dr. Fox's interpretations, but the Red Seal Label was a horrible injustice to his work. I'm with you in that I don't understand why he kept them around. BTW, how does that SET work with your organ music? woo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
