Another Album arrived.
I ordered a Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms" album. It was recorded about 40 years ago. This one is a MOFI repress, used, and seems in good shape.
The album was recorded in a Caribbean island on the side of a volcano. The tape deck was a 24 track Sony digital machine. It was originally released on CD and became Dire Straits' biggest hit.
The album won the Grammy for engineering in 1986. I have two other DS albums, but had never got around to this one. (PS turns out I had, I just lost it in the shelf)
MOFI works to get the best sound out of the best masters and they are pretty good at it. They did this one about 10 years ago for vinyl.
I streamed the album last week and liked the music. I wondered why I had not bought it before. The next step of course was to see what was available. If I can get gourmet issues I do. A local shop had this one. Apparently Mofi has some for sale on its site as of yesterday.
It cost about the same money, but with the exchange rate and no duty it was better.
I unwrapped the thing. It is a 2 x 180 @ 45 skate board trick LP. At least it is labeled as 45 rpm. So annoying when they don't do that.
Of course I wiped it down and played it. Gotta be sure its OK. It was. There are stories about the sessions which are kinda fun. Like the set up for the Guitar amplifier's speaker being accidental and really good for "money for nothing." People quitting and being brought in and some tracks getting lost. Usual Rock and Roll nonsense.
Occasionally something grabs my attention. I was getting familiar with the songs from the streams. I liked the sound. Sting's vocal on "money.." was kinda floating around. It was a bit less resolved than the stream, but not in a bad way.
But on side 4 (double album) the sound of the guitar on "The man's too strong" was really different than the stream. When the side finished I played it again. Then I fired up the stream of the same song. OK I suppose I may be exaggerating a bit, but the LP was far more complex and rich sounding.
This particular track had a ringer guitar player brought in and he used a "Synth Guitar". The sound is crazy, metallic, rich, and solid. In the stream the notes are there, but they do not hit you as hard. Over the whole album this was the most noticeable difference. I cannot tell if it is distortion from the guitar amp or something snythy. It just has very rich harmonics. Did the lossless people clean it up a bit?
This was a digital recording from the start. It was originally released on CD and followed with LPs and Cassettes (oh the 80s). This was the first album to sell more CDs than LPs.
Even though it sold very well the critics initially were rather negative. They wanted more edge or something. The Fans disagreed. So much for experts. Later reviews were better.
Digital aint bad by itself. It only sucks when abused by ham fisted engineers. This was an early DDD recording when that acronym meant as much as AAA does to vinylphiles today. Maybe Micheal Fremer can tell pure analog from digital. He has his preference. Oh and he produced a recent Jazz album on digital. Funny guy.
I am glad I spent the money. I will have another go tonight.

I've been streaming with my old Audio Technica AT3035 for at least twenty years now. It's been a respectable warhorse but I was thinking about maybe upgrading this year when I can afford it.
Any suggestions for a step or two up from the AT3035 for a reasonable price?
