Diana Krall - Wallflower

I may end up in audio purgatory for saying this, but the CD sounds better than the LP.
 
I was about to order the LP so I'm happy that I read this in time.

It wouldn't be the first time that the vinyl isn't mastered as well as a CD.

Silly question Mike. Is it the same mix? Lately labels been releasing different mixes on CD and LP. One example was the much talked about Daft Punk album. The CD sounded much better than the LP also but it was a totally different mix. Go figure.
 
She was on David Letterman last night promoting the album and sang a song. ...didn't impress me.

It does appear to be the same. It sounds like the vinyl was cut from 44/16, its also a little noisy.

The CD does sound better and vocals are captured brilliantly. It's a mellow album. Very laid back. But late at night, scotch in hand, very nice.
 
So the production was done on the cheap in the digital domain....?
 
I just bought the LP today at one of my local vinyl stores. It has to be one the most quiet LP's as far as clicks and pops that I have ever heard. I counted about 6 clicks on all 4 sides of the double album. It is a dark sounding album and I find that cymbals are pushed way back and not very detailed. Otherwise I like. I will probably buy the CD.

Mine just arrived from Amazon today (the LP). Should I return it and get the CD instead?:wacko:

The LP sounds good but I am going to buy the CD as it is cheap enough. I am interested in hearing the difference of a newly recorded LP vs CD.
