Don't know if this is of interest to anyone else, but it's a record I like a lot for different reasons, so here I go. It's a German 10 inch first issue of a -52 US Capitol LP (H-356). At this time most LP issues were in all ways adjusted to the new format with thinner records, picture covers and new style labels. Not this one. The weight, thickness and feeling of it resembles perfectly a thirties or fourties '78 RPM and the label has a style that could have crowned any of those. Cover also reminds of days past - no pics, just artists names, a songlist and a logo. The sound quality is amazing - I've had a few re-issues of older Les Paul recordings and non of them even comes close. If You ever heard a perfect '78 played on best modern equipment it's exactly like this. The warmth and directness - it just fits. (FÄV*)(FÖGÄ*) (GÖXÄ*)(NYFÖ*)
Have just bought it.
SvaraRaderaIt's amazing! Your decription is spot on.
Thanks for Your comment. Happy we agree :) I dig the warm, full sound a lot. It's a pity modern issues doesn't have that audio - today a lot just sounds blunt and unnatural.
