System Listeners vs True Audiophiles

Reviewer: PhillySound
Fretless, You make a good point regarding System Listeners who think that they're Audiopiles versus Audiophiles that are Music Lovers that enjoy what Great Gear does which is bringing us closer to the real sound of vocals 1st then all else after . A Great Audio is built or should always be built around the Voice.

Last Chance! Don't miss out!

This is the one! I have several 'common' originals, the German "heavy vinyl" of a few years back, and a pristine Japanese pressing and in my opinion, this one excels in every way. There are many excellent original pressings, the German lacked finesse, the Japanese is quite good, but this latest drew me in again, deeper and rich with detail and I disagree with the last reviewer - it's got the emotional content intact. I felt like it was a private moment between the artist and listener. By the end, you feel like laughing/crying in awe of her talent and this record. Don't be a fool and miss this. This might be your Last Chance Texaco :-)

Great Recording

RLJ fans this is the one for you. For those yet introduced to this artist, I would advise this recording as the standard. This recording reveals the talent of RLJ and the craft of a painstaking production. While listening, at one point I literally saw Ricky toss her head back behind the mike. Now that's what I call imaging. I chose this recording because of my fondness for her work. What was waiting for me was much more. The quality of composition and craft I did not fully appreciate until I played this audiophile production. I recommend this record without reservation.

Superb record

I play this every time I listen to my stereo system. It just sounds that good. I'm afraid of wearing it out. May have to buy another copy. This was my first introduction to AcousTech Mastering and I have been impressed with their work since.

I like it

I dont have the original to compare it with so I cant comment on the previous review. However, I find this to be a great record which sounds fine.

It sounds "in the groove" to me.

Hifi? Perhaps. Musical Groove? Nah.

Reviewer: Fretless
This reissue is certainly is more detailed than the '79 Warner Bros. original. I can hear subtle stringed, percussive, and vocal details that I'd never noticed before, though RLJ's voice sounds a bit shouty and uncharacteristically nasal, almost as if it's coming from a poor horn setup.

Unfortunately, I find the music strangely lackluster and mechanical sounding. That wonderful sense of musical groove and drive that make the original so compelling - the feeling that all the musicians are deep in the pocket together - has become stilted and aloof.

While this reissue might be a step in the right direction for audiophiles, music lovers looking for the emotionally emphatic vocal work and sheer boogie factor of the cheap and common original will probably be disappointed.

When a reissue fails to capture the music's fundamental rhythm, energy and flow (all too common, IME) improvements in detail retrieval and "soundstaging" are reduced to superfluous sound effects.
