dissapointing audiophile recording

Just curious what is your most dissapointing audiophile recording that you have heard, and not from a sonic stand point but a musical one.
Mine is at the moment a Kenny Rankin chesky cd recording " because of you" that I picked up at a Goodwill for a buck. I find it vocally and its musical presentation very milk toast and bland at best,almost like listening to bad Kenny G not that I believe there is any good Kenny G.

Ana Caram, Rio After Dark on Chesky CD. Great sound, but she couldn't carry a tune with a wheelbarrow. Taught me finally to buy music I like and do the best I can with my system to make it sound good. Buying music because of the sound qualities has often proved disappointing.

Honorable mention: Byrds Greatest Hits on SACD. My 35+ year old vinyl copy from college, with scratches and all, sounds better.

Hello, Well, I guess, what the in the world do I know? Johnnyb52 (in the thread "Spelunking for old vinyl in thrift shops") just picked up the Readers Digest of Light classical and loves it! There's hope for Kenny G afterall. No offence JB52.
I have a mint copy of it also, if anybody wants it, it is free, just pay shipping!

Viridian, "white folks jazz" as opposed to what other "kind" of jazz?

Schipo, my appologies, there was no intent to offend. But the correct quote would be "white folks jazz lite". Audphile 1, as opposed to mainstream jazz, modal jazz, fusion, latin jazz, free jazz or any other category of jazz.
