... POORLY RECORDED SONGS THAT ...

Hello to all...

Was thinking about the songs I luv, that are so poorly recorded that it hurts my ears to listen to them - but because they are so great I just can't help myself 'cause they really moves me:

MEATLOAF: BAT OUTTA HELL

SPRINGSTEIN: ROSELITTA

NICKELBACK: BURN IT DOWN

Can you give me a couple or more, that you think are really great songs and such a disappointment in how they come across recorded (on vinyl, CD, Cassette or whatever...)

Jenna Jamison's slurping vocals on Pirates are overly compressed.

Hi n80

Just ordered Sound & Color, so we'll start with that. Also picking up Boys & Girls since they had a deal. I'll see if I can find a cheaper copy of Young and Dangerous.

I'll let you know when I get them on the system.

Unless you're into glam/pop you might want to skip Young and Dangerous. ;-)

Everybody is into glam/pop. Some are just embarrassed to admit it. 

Kind of like Barry Manilow.

Just ordered Roxy Music’s first CD. No, not the compressed one, the original uncompressed one from 1984. I already have Manifesto on cassette, another super duper recording. Not to mention the second album. Cassettes were produced prior to the Loudness Wars, thank goodness.

Trivia: the model on the first RM album wound up marrying Chris Jagger many years later. Obviously Jerry Hall left Brian Ferry for Mick Jagger. Keeping it in the family!
