Has anyone listened to the new Dave Matthews CD?

I love this album. My personal favorite since Busted Stuff.

I like the music, (I agree his best in a few years), but the vinyl seems very compressed.
Rather disappointing actually, give that his music seems like a natural for vinyl, given the acoustic type of instruments that some of the band members play.

Oh well, I guess I will just have to be satisfied playing my vinyl copy of 'Before These Crowded Streets', which is pressed much better, IMHO. (And Yeah, I am bragging a little that I have a copy!) :-)

Kurt- how did you come across a copy of "Crowded Street"

That's just down the list from a hens tooth.

I do see a CD, video and cassette copies of "Crowded Streets" available but never saw a vinyl copy. I did see one person claim to have a signed copy of this album, listed as a prized possession.

If you're every in need of cash in a hurry you could get a pretty penny for that one.

Zenblaster and Bob,

When I first got back into vinyl about 6 years ago, I was, coincidentally, also very much into Dave Matthews at the same time. So, I looked around for any vinyl that he had out and found that there was only one OOP LP available from him. So I started watching Ebay, and after a month or so I managed to find a copy relatively cheap. (I think I paid about $40-50 for a near mint copy - now that same record tends to go for about $200-300.) It is indeed a very nice pressing and the sonics are very good as well.

Why do you think that Dave Matthew's record company never bothered to have his albums pressed on vinyl? I would think that someone could make a fair amount of money if they were to do a good pressing of this records, particularly the first two.
