Best Coast "California Nights" CD. I'm frustrated with this album, it has the sort of jangly melodies that aspire to a Phil Spector sound, but its lo-fi production makes the music very confined - it's woolly and lumpen when it deserves to sparkle and soar. Sounds better on our kitchen portable CD player, which I guess could've been their intention...

By contrast the 2015 remaster CD of David Bowie's "Hunky Dory" is fabulous. To think it was recorded nearly 45 years ago... Superb.

I'm in a bit of a jazzy vinyl phase today...

Vinyl copy on the Doxy label -- The type of label I tend to be very suspicious of as I would much rather have a copy on Verve -- but this sounds very well indeed, on lovely quiet vinyl too.

Took the plunge and bought this 2014 reissue. Think I might have made a mistake! First play and it's not sounding good. Nick Davis has not done a good job with the remix. Sounds terribly compressed. Harsh even. I'll give it another couple of goes.
