Worst Master Recording

[13th Floor Garage]

Another disappointing pressing - "I Saw You Walking" by The By Fives. It's still awesome, though.

My first thought was also Modds " Leave My House" but "I Saw You Walking" is one of those I crank often in my car and I wish it had a little more punch!

This song kills me every time I listen to it. Did this ever get the Bosshoss treatment? If so, where can I find it?

Mange tak, Lee! Work of genious, that third chord in minor!

 

[Hicksville Hogwash]

This is bad but beautiful, even the tambourine is fuzzing out the mics.

I really like Lord Beverley Moss & the Mossmen - Please Please What's The Matter , but there is an annoying distortion in the low end of the recording . First thought my copy has groove wear , but all the other copies I listened to since had the same distortion .

 

[Lee de Parade]

Not that horrible, but Danny & the Counts' You Need Love.....it leaves something to be desired.

The worst is "Without You" by The Orphans, my band in 1967, formerly Al's Untouchables who scored with "Come On Baby" in 1966. Larry Herbst "produced" the record and Norm Goodman was engineer at Gold Star Studios in Hollywood. The first day it was released (without the band's knowledge) and we heard it, we made Herbst pull everything out of the stores and from radio. It actually got airplay for the few days it was available. It sounds like engineer Goodman was actually the janitor and Herbst was a well-known geek who couldn't produce a fart without shitting his pants.

Woooo, Platehead - Without You is a fuckin INCREDIBLE MONSTER!!! Best I've heard this year.

The LORDS on Vance. As bad as it gets

 

[The Swyne]

That Steve Carpenter record on (Impex) is a worthy mention in my opinion.

The Phoenix Pyre "One Life Span / Fanny Brawn" also has a crude sound to it. But I like it

And what about this

 

[Berman]

The Escapades - I Tell No Lies on Arbet, the record looks VG+ but the vinyl ,which was used, looks like kinda cheap recycling stuff, the 1st minute plays well and then strong backround noises, I hate it but I love the song, I havn't any idea if the XL press having much better sound

 

[Monster Mike]

For me the most disappointing was The Syndicate "My Baby's Barefoot". I got my nm- copy and excitedly gave it it's first spin and realized it sounded nothing like the one from BFTG. I now know there's two presses, but I'm in no hurry to plop down cash for another. Until then, I suffer....

Another one is The Klansmen on Richmond Sound Stages, I don't know what kind of selfmade amps they've used and anyhow the 45 rpm speed isn't exactly... what else I found the bands-name funny!

Is it just me or is the Cyclones' "She's No Good" a poor pressing?
