Happy Holidays Everybody!

Frank Sinatra Sings for Only the Lonely
Frank Sinatra | Format: Vinyl

Dutch import, funky peach-colored Capitol label.

I love the tune 'Willow Weep For Me', have a few versions, but all instrumental.

I never heard lyrics for it till Pumpkinman bought me this one.

Like to suggest you bro's and lassie's who like English bands from the period look into getting the Classic Records re-master of Rough Mix by Pete Townsend and Ronnie Lane and a bunch of English cats. It certainly seems like it's one that they wanted to do regardless of their established audiences or contracts. A labor of love, in other words. Hope you are successful in finding it. It's special on all accounts I can think of.

Laura, is the bass overly abundant in your set-up? There is plenty of it without reinforcement and is the reason I am asking as I'm suspicious of what your set-up may do to the octaves immediately above that range. Or, is capable of doing. Thanks.

I had a UK LP of Rough Mix but since it was a favorite of bside123 I sent it to him. I'll find another for sure

Rough Mix is next up Jim. I'll answer your question soon

jimdgoulding · « **Reply #3473 on:** 24 Dec 2011, 03:35 am »

Oh, good, Laura! I've modified my post above for you to read.

dude - I don't remember them, much less them doing this song.

It is an interesting version though.

Classic Records 200 g

Jim,

the bass is not shy by any means but I don't find it "overly abundant." I find it easy to close my eyes and follow the bass runs, even the plucking on the stand up, without losing appreciation for the guitar work, drums and vocals. The bass seems just right on my system in my acoustically treated room, good balance with the rest of the presentation. The soundstage is deep and extends beyond the speakers. This is a great album, one I highly recommend. Thanks again Jim.

I made a change in my room about two weeks ago. I removed the large 57" rear projection HDTV and replaced it with a 65" wall mounted Samsung Plasma. The immediate improvement in my soundstage and the musical presentation was mind blowing, and the sound was very good with the large TV. I also removed the 1/4 round plywood dispersion on each side of the TV leaving the 1/2 round attached to the wall to disperse the back wave. I also had Dan upgrade my KWA 150 with the SE mod. Not subtle at all

Better bass slam & control, more detail, clarity and air around the instruments. Musical presentation is tighter and fuller. Here's a pic:

I am really enjoying everything I spin. I close my eyes and the speakers vanish.

Merry Christmas everyone,

Laura

P'man, Excellent lp! Why was the no follow up to this

jimdgoulding · « **Reply #3477 on:** 24 Dec 2011, 05:32 am »

Oh, my, Laura, I can tell by looking that those are good things you've got goin on- I don't remember seeing the corner traps or acoustic panels midway between your Dad's- and is totally encouraging to my sensabilities. Thanks for your follow-up. You know, our record is probably a collector's item by now, and deservedly, innit.

Beautiful setup Laura and I can only imagine how fantastic it must sound. Mind me asking what the dimensions of your space are?
