Mono Masterpiece

5 Stars
Posted Monday, December 4, 2023 by Anonymous Great record. Flat and dead quiet. Fantastic realism and dynamics. Drums sound like they are in the room. My first Craft small batch. Very impressed. As good as any of my best Analogue Productions or MOFI pressings.

Pristine CCR!

Posted Sunday, March 12, 2023 by Larry H. Bravo Concord/Craft Recordings! I just finished listening to this pressing of Bayou Country and couldn't be happier!! The 180g vinyl is perfectly flat and plays with dead silence. When the first guitar note of "Born on the Bayou" was played, I had chills and was transported back to being 9-10 years old listening to the original release! The sound stage is excellent on all tracks! The reproduction of the jacket and the original Fantasy Label was dead on! This pressing is superb in every way. Glad to have it in the collection!!

Surprisingly great buy it!!!

Posted Tuesday, October 11, 2022 by Chris I'm used to really bad pressings of Sun Ra albums. I've also had some problems in the past with inconsistent Craft reissues but they nailed it with this one. Kevin Gray and RTI did an outstanding job! If you want to get into Sun Ra this is a great start!

Posted Saturday, March 5, 2022 by Brent Cool gold vinyl. Wish QRP and AS would do more cool colored vinyl pressings like this one under the AP label. Dead silent and perfectly flat. Well done Chad and QRP!

Absolutely stunning

5 Stars
Posted Saturday, February 19, 2022 by Don This is the best repress of an album I have heard. Absolutely stunning.I have an early original pressing of the album in very good condition but with a few clicks so I thought I would compare the two.I actually think this 1/2 speed master is better. The music comes through unaltered (just like the original) which is always my preference in a remaster but it has better timbre and resonance, great detail and is crystal clear. Miles Showell at Abbey Road and Craft have done a great job with this recording. I wish they would do the entire collection of Beatles, Stones, Who, Elton John, Queen, Pink Floyd....and more. I'm all in on this. Thanks also to acoustic sounds for bringing it to us.

excellent pressing and mastering

5 Stars
Posted Friday, December 17, 2021 by Joe I have a green vinyl pressing of this LP, and I think the mastering is much better on this one. More natural sounding and more balanced. Dead quiet vinyl, too. Plus, it's housed in a replica of the original cover, with tip on artwork and nice, heavy cardboard.

Some good, some bad

Posted Friday, December 3, 2021 by Anonymous I find the remastering on this very uneven. Some tracks have great weight, depth, and soundstage. Others seemed veiled, rolled off and thin. Disappointed

Wow is the word!

5 Stars
Posted Sunday, September 19, 2021 by Robert Hildebrandt The half speed remaster is the best sounding version of this early masterpiece. The pressing was whisper quiet and the reproduction very full but detailed. The treble top was crisp and not excessive but the bass was tight and realistic. This version sounds better than any of the CD versions including my amazing Japan CD SHM issue.

Chet Baker - It Could Happen To You

Unique and warm and soft. Relaxing

4 Stars
Posted Saturday, April 10, 2021 by Anonymous Relaxing music. Interesting unique voice. I appreciate Craft for offering this selection. The cover is solid + anti static inner sleeve and is a step up from the flimsy Blue Note Classic Series covers that come with a paper inner. My pressing is mostly flat and with minimal defects and quiet. Looks quality. Happy bout this. The sound on my system when compared to others comes across on the warmer side, smooth, and soft, lacking a measure of bite and snap, sparkle. The trumpet sound imaging and projection is pretty good. Chet’s voice is a bit soft on the edges and has a measure of being muffled at times but does form a center position well. I have a number vocal-driven recordings from the ‘50s and early ‘60s original LP and those are remarkably clear, realistic. The sound on this has some air but IMO is a little 2 dimensional. I don’t know if all these are because of the master tape, the mastering or both as I don’t have another copy for comparison. Overall, enjoyable

Clean and polite

4 Stars
Posted Wednesday, March 24, 2021 by Brian The vinyl is dead quiet and there are no pops to be heard anywhere on the record. The songs are well-engineered, but the ultimate resolution is missing. It seems that the remastering chief has filtered out the highest end so that there is no tape hiss - at all. But this provides a very clean sound.

Overall, the album seems slightly muted, and not as dynamic as it could be. I must admit, though, that I like listening to this record - over and over again. It's probably the cleanest Creedence you will ever hear.

I believe that the trade-off between the clarity of the highest frequencies, and perfectly clean songs has produced an album that I enjoy listening to, but which is overly polite. However, I am not sure that the mastering person had much of a choice as I do not know the quality of the tape used. So, this record is good rather than great.

Various Artists - Concert For George

Oh, my! What a disappointment.

2 Stars
Posted Sunday, August 16, 2020 by Michael Bicak I have loved this concert since day 1. I have the DVD, and watch/listen to it every few months. So, I decided to splurge and buy the 4-disc LP version. Sadly, it is atrocious.

The packaging is splendid, and the silence of the discs is first-rate. Kudos to the disc presser. The transfer of the original soundtrack to analog . . . terrible. The low end is foreshortened - almost absent compared to the dvd; the sound-stage is collapsed to a ball of muddle in the center; the harmonic balance is really poor; it is, overall, a congested mess.

Save yourself the $$; stick with the DVD - it is a more honest representation of the event held for George.

This is the first LP purchase I've made in a long while that is a total bust. btw - my analog playback system is not the issue; guaranteed. I so, so, so wanted this to be good. Sigh . . . alas . . . you can't always get what you want, eh Mick?
