it was supposed to be released on June 10th, but I happened to be looking at the Acoustic Sounds website on Wednesday night and there it was 'in stock'. I have not purchased many Lps over the last 6-9 months; and this is likely the only real anticipated release on my radar....I've literally been waiting for a few years for this. so I ordered it and paid for the overnight shipping since I have some friends coming over this weekend to help me listen to the new dart pre. the box set arrived today.
I probably have 3 or 4 different pressings of 'Couldn't Stand The Weather', and 'Tin Pan Alley' is one of my all time favorite cuts. I have multiple digital copies of it too. I might even have a 15ips 1/4" master dub of it someplace (I know I've heard a master dub on tape). so I'm all in on SRV.
right now I'm listening to 'Tin Pan Alley' (thru the new dart pre) and it is the best I've yet heard it. it's a very good recording to begin with. just like most all of the QRP pressings I have experienced, it's flat, quiet, and nicely done. the bass is even deeper, more impactful, and tonally richer than any I've heard previously. I'm really enjoying it.
as I listen to more of this album I notice there is a relaxed ease to these pressings (typical of better 45rpm pressings) that compliments the music and draws me in. some of the intense guitar work of SRV can get a bit harsh.....but not here....you get the bite but it's not in your face.
Voodoo Child (Slight Return) and Cold Shot are sweet!
later i'll explore this whole box more deeply.
nice job Chad!
