Anyone Put Their Pre-Order in Yet?

now that you said the 33 rpm APO vers (digital?) has pumped up bass it will sound missing on the 45. I like the record, the orig 1st press was snap crackle and pop and i'm not talking about the music.
 
I have the LP and I have bitched about it since it was released. The bass was way overblown.
 
I will order it. I love Shelby...great live shows. Recent City Winery show.

This from Acoustic Sounds. Doesn't this mean a true analog source?

It was an analog recording digitized. You can hear the tape print through and the digital artifacts. Like Patricia Barber was digital transferred to analog.

"Cut to LP by Doug Sax from analog master sources"


That is very confusing and, I think, misleading. They got me.
 
I will order. Agree with above, can be misleading but usually AP use the word master tapes.

Ditto, got me, too. I just got it, and given the reviews on Acoustic Sounds, sounded like a great lp!:(
 
….and they are using the very same description in the version still to come. Miles….What is the difference? Is it info that you have from another source?

They got me too, but I think the key words here that we missed was "from analog sources." That's code for "once upon a time there was a master tape involved in this recording but we have now converted the tape to digital." If you buy an LP nowadays and it doesn't clearly, boldly, and proudly say "cut straight from the original master tapes," chances are you are getting a digital hosing.

In other words, if digital was the bees knees (as some would have us believe), they would be proudly saying "proudly cut from digital."

...just doesn't have the same ring to it. ;)

Exactly! And they used to do that when digital first arrived on the scene. I have more than a few LPs that proudly proclaim on the front cover they were remastered in digital. Once they found out everyone was onto them and digital remastering ruined the sound, they knocked off their advertising and tried to hide the digital source like a bad ingredient on a food label.

You certainly can't go wrong.

Anyone remember the digitally recorded Shostakovitch 5th LP with Bernstein released by CBS at the dawn of the digital era? Every above ground audio magazine creamed in their pants over it. Got it and it was so bad, that I actually checked that the LP was running at the right speed. Truly. It's funny. With no harmonics, the LP actually sounds like spinning at the wrong speed. Talk about a recording scrubbed clean. And they had the nerve to foist this unadulterated crap on the public. Does anyone wonder what these recording engineers were listening to? Or for?

But it was new! It was "improved" It was the "in thing." You had to have it! Sad isn't it? I've said it before and I will say it again, digital killed the music business and the greedy music executives never saw it coming. Not only did they take our SQ down a dirt road, they killed their ability to control the distribution and profits from the music they use to control.

I keep the LP around as a reminder of how bad analog can sound. :)
 
I have multiple copies of "Thick As a Brick" to remind me of how bad analog can sound and I can't blame digital for that.
 
I haven't looked a t a CD for awhile. Do they still label them AAD, ADD, DDD? I suppose most fit into the DDD category nowadays.

They should have a warning label on them: Warning! This recording was butchered through the use of Pro Tools.
