Bee Gees - Timeless: The All-Time Greatest Hits

Clean and Clear

4 Stars
Posted Sunday, March 14, 2021 by Brian This is a good collection of songs. For me, I'm a passive Bee Gees fan, so these records contain every song I could want.

The record is incredibly quiet - I didn't even notice so much as a click until maybe the 4th side. The songs are cleaned up very well, and there is no tape hiss anywhere to be heard. It's practically a perfect set.

The only deduction is, I guess, that I am not sure this collection has the ultimate in fidelity; but I want to warn you that as I listen to the songs, I am becoming more and more convinced that this may be audiophile in quality. Just listen to the song "Words", and it sounds like the singer is in the room with you - their voice come through wonderfully.

If I could give the record 4.5 stars, I would. I'll be honest, I am not sure why I don't rate 5 stars, but something tells me there is an jaw-dropping rendering somewhere. Whatever the case, I love listening over and over again. It's an extremely satisfying listening experience.

Beck On Pallas Vinyl

5 Stars
Posted Sunday, October 15, 2017 by audiofan Beck's newest, issued on standard weight red vinyl, is pressed by "The Pallas Group for Capitol Records". There is also a double-disc, 45-RPM version available for those who can't sit still for more than 2-3 songs. Perhaps it sounds better than the 33-1/3 version, but it would have to be otherworldly - this pressing was flawless (typical for Pallas), with no groove noise, no flaws (tics/pops) or warp, and a stunningly deep, wide soundstage with a warm, involving mix. In short, you cannot go wrong with the "standard" 120-gram version...it simply sounds amazing. Bravo!

Roll The Dice...

4 Stars
Posted Thursday, June 30, 2016 by audiofan The re-master here is superb (probably closer to "5-star" territory), but the reason I gave it 4 is because of a issue with the second track on side one (Dreamboat Annie (Fantasy Child). A friend purchased a copy at a local record shop, and there is a audible defect on this track which repeats at the same place on the LP within the first 4-5 revolutions before dying out. This is not a tick or popping sound, but is more like a "heartbeat/thump" -somewhat difficult to describe. My copy has the same defect - in the exact same place. There is also a minor tick or two during the first several seconds of this same track on BOTH discs...hence a pressing defect. Unfortunately, this is one of the quietest tracks on the album as well, so it's a bit annoying. However, the rest of the album is virtually flawless on both copies and sounds superb. So, roll the dice - you may get a better pressing.

Amazing Music, Poor Pressing

3 Stars
Posted Sunday, November 12, 2006 by Sam D. I love the Decemberists and their music! This release is simply a must-have! Caveat Emptor: Don't buy this on vinyl! The LP sounds rather withdrawn (on a $4,000 pair of Focal-JM Labs and a Music Hall) and heartless. Even though this was pressed on two LP's, the playing time is too long. Especially now that they are with a major label, they could afford to do a three or four disc set, which is what this music deserves. The vinyl is not 180g or even close and is quite noisy. My copy has serious ticks all the way through "The Island" and there is some serious wow on disc 2. There are no extras, liner notes or anything! UGGHH! Long story short, buy the CD!
