What do you mean by "limp wristed?" That sounds like an offensive expression.
Ever tossed a record aside as poorly engineered and produced only to think otherwise later
I did this with John Lee Hooker's "Mr. Lucky". I bought this in high school and thought it was great. As I progressed through the hobby I thought it was light, limp wristed and too soft. I think some of this downward evolution was due to the loudness wars. Everything became more bombastic.
Here I am 25 years later and hearing great dynamics in this Johnny Lee recording. After I lap up this goodness of audio delight, I think to myself, "what other recordings have I dismissed before that I loved the music on but couldn't stand the production?"
Have you done this? I'm thinking if you offer up your experiences I can check in with them too to make sure I don't discard recordings I shouldn't.
