David Bowie ~ Diamond Dogs
Bill,here is one that I forgot about that i played earlier this evening.Chicago Transit Authority – Chicago Transit Authority Columbia GP 8 US 196 What a sound, I forgot how good this one was
An album that I enjoy very much, but much like Aqualung, a great example of a great album that sounds sub-par. Just IMHO.
Jim,This is one of my favorite albums. I recommend that you order the Rhino remastered reissue from the original analog tapes. IMO, it blows the socks off of the original issue. Better detail, clarity, bass slam, dyanimics and a much fuller musical presentation. Once you hear it you will be amazed at how much music is on those tapes. You will hear details you have never heard before.Laura
$35.00 Semolians?????
If you like this album, it is absolutely worth it. Same for Chicago II. Both are double albums and the gatefold covers are true to the original. Laura
I have an original 2-eye Columbia 360 Sound pressing. Does the Rhino sound better than that? Tis a rare LP indeed for me to shell out $35.00 for, but depending on your answer.........................
For the latter half of their career, Chicago became almost a parody ofthemselves, turning into a soft-rock outfit, producing tunes that got a lot ofairplay, but were a long way from their roots.They began in 1967 in a much artier vein. Their first two records, ChicagoTransit Authority and Chicago, were heavily jazz oriented, spawning their earlyhits “Make Me Smile,” “Color My World,” “25 or 6 to 4,” “Does Anybody ReallyKnow What Time it Is?” and the tortuous “Free Form Guitar.”Initially released on Columbia, their original albums were recorded andmastered for AM radio play and had a big bump in the midrange, soundinggreat on the portable radios of the day, but fairly lacking on a good HiFi system.Kevin Gray is responsible for the first two remasters in the series, and theyare both excellent. These are now serious audiophile discs, with full rangedynamics restored and the frequency response flattened out. With sound tomatch the musicianship on these records, the true genius of Chicago’s earlyworks shines through.--Jeff Dorgay, TONE Audio, Issue 22
