You could be right Adrian, I'll stick it on my RCM, (if I ever get round to buying one :doh:) Though I do suspect it's my failing hearing that's mostly to blame. You will of course be aware of all the low-level HF detail in those grooves, details I remember well but no longer hear. They were an important part of the sound :(

It's funny you should say that, as I recently listened to Duran Duran's first album (which I must have played thousands of times when I was younger (because I thought it was that good) and, I suddenly realised I couln't quite hear all the small details that I still remember in my head from when I was younger - QUITE INFURIATING!!!!

That looks interesting. I take it that the artists cited are performing various works by Gershwin, but I didn't know Gershwin had written songs.

yes, it was in aid of larry adler's 80th birthday. larry was a close friend of the gershwins'. ira gershwin wrote lyrics. some lyrics were written or arranged etc by others inc dorothy heyward. track 2, do what you do was a gus khan number, he was another friend of theirs. ira may have done those lyrics. george martin was producer. adler plays harmonica on all tracks.
