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.

My mistake its a 2013 release. Same Nick Davis mix as the one I think you are refering to. With the half speed thingy done to it. This one I believe.
https://www.discogs.com/Genesis-1970...elease/1960666
I Guess I just don't like what Nick Davis has done to it. His work has come in for a fair amount of stick on some of those mixes. However I do enjoy large parts of his 'Selling England' work. So it's not all bad. I'll give it another go or two and keep an open mind.
This is the one I have: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...=sr_1_3&sr=8-3 - currently £19.99 on Amazon and (IMO) it's rather good. Comes bundled with a CD version of the album.Quote:

180gm vinyl.
First play and a lot of nice tracks...she sounds great on some as does some instruments. There is a suppressed noise floor which causes a bit of distortion in background and it annoys me a bit. These are crackly originals as can be heard on final runoff so maybe i am being a tad unkind...
All in a worthwhile inverstment
Spinning my box issue of The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway.Quote:

And it really sounds beautiful, if perhaps a bit louder than the original.
Not less dynamic, just louder with more slam.
thought about this one, put me off now
