Hendrix, Jimi - The Cry of Love - Super Hot Stamper (Quiet Vinyl)

Hendrix, Jimi - The Cry of Love - Super Hot Stamper (Quiet Vinyl)With Eddie Kramer and Robert Ludwig on the payroll, doesn't this record have to be spectacular? Good, yes, but spectacular? Not really. Some copies just don't rock, and those copies lose a huge number of points for that shortcoming, especially on a Monster Rock record such as this. Some are leaned out, some have no real top end as Murphy's Law makes clear, if something can go wrong it will go wrong. This vintage Reprise pressing has the kind of Tubey

That's just the way it goes in analog

not a bad track record

causing Taylor and crew’s voices to take on a lean or gritty quality

consequently

but spectacular

It’s clearly one of the great Demo Disc quality recordings from the Golden Age (or any age for that matter)

We Was Wrong

but also because they suffer from blurry

*NOTE: There is a mark that plays 6 times lightly during the intro to track 1 on side 2

The famous Moon and Gray London/Decca guide raves about this title

both the sound and the music here are enchanting

Being on the TAS list doesn’t guarantee great sound
