What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XII)

If you carry on with your Beatles playing and reminisences Randy you are liable to have me sticking my collection into the playlist, something (playing the Beatles) that would be a bit of a rarity theses days...

Steve,

By all means insert some Fab Four into your playlist!  Beyond reminiscent you may even find some of the music transcendent .

The Beatles. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967). Another 1987 original issue CD. In this age of loudness and compressed bass this album is a nice reminder of how a tuneful and well-played bass guitar truly sounds, or ought to sound.

Hi Joerand,  have you heard the 2009 remaster?    I ask because the bass on this is a lot firmer a touch more separated from the mix & is easier to follow Paul's technique.  I found it the same on all the 2009 series,  especially so with the albums after Sgt Pepper when they had moved on from the old 4 track.      These Abbey Road Studio remasters come from the 1st generation master tapes, unlike the 2nd & 3rd generation copies that the original 1987 CD releases came from.  The 2009 remasters are easy to spot as they have the Apple logo.

The Beatles. Let It Be (1970). On CD from 1987. More listening to my original issue Beatles CDs. The title track always strikes an emotional chord for me as it's probably the only Beatles song I can remember being taken with on its original release. My older sister had the single and played it over and over. I was seven years old and absolutely loved it. Still do.

It would be interesting to play 'Let It Be' or 'Abbey Road' immediately followed by 'Please Please Me' or 'With the Beatles' and hear how much they'd changed over just 8 years. By that change they had changed popular music for ever.

Given that they'd shaped the way for heavy rock ('I Want You (She's So Heavy)' and much of the White Album) and progressive rock (side two of Abbey Road), it wasn't until the advent of punk that things really changed (for the worse IMHO) again.

On the other hand One After 909 is not that different than I Saw Her Standing There…

… and punk refreshed the scene in a same way The Beatles did in early 60's [IMHO of course ]

Also giving this a first play (via Tidal) - sounding good so far.

Too much of the Beatles being played on here to ignore any longer. Playing the 2009 stereo remaster.

Tom Petty, Nobody's Children, via Tidal and Audirvana.  Recommended by a friend and a pretty enjoyable listen so far.

First listened to take me to the Alley of Gregory Porter..

Damien Jurado "Caught In The Trees"  (2008)

Now listening to this also very good vocal oriented album...

I never got on with the movie but always enjoyed the album, many lovely tracks on here that are Beatles classics. Ripped from the 2009 stereo remaster.

Side one of this double album continuing to open the door to let loads of nostalgia pour in with the Beatles echoing around the house once more!

Serious jamming... 

1972 - US original vinyl...

I must give this a try sometime soon...

It is just a few guys messing around in the studio, Steve. I love Hopkins's(R.I.P) keyboard.  Short but great fun.

 

Thanks Tony, I've found it on Tidal and slipped it into my music to try list  

Looking for it on Tidal but I can't find it.

I typed "Jamming with Edward" into the search and it shows up. 

Ultravox, The Collection, on vinyl whilst I escape from the sun after a walk around the park.  Had the pleasure of seeing these back in the early 80s and they were a joy to watch.
