I never thought much of the actual recording,poorly done IMHO.
Finally, someone comes out and says so! Yes, clear but constricted IMO

Not in my system Nor on MBLs.
My Brother was at the live recording and he agrees with me that this recording is lacking. All I'm saying is the mic placement was done poorly.
Maybe compared to the live event but then again, everything is lacking. But outside maybe of a little thinness, it is a reference recording for me. SNISF has to be heard on electrostatics, ribbons or MBLs to really fully appreciate their musicianship! Electrostatic eat up this type of music and instruments! The Lyra Titan i doesn't hurt either; not for Koetsus.
You're exactly right. All the CD's I have heard including the mastersound are compressed. There is no doubt that this performance is legendary,but the engineer did a **** poor job setting this up. A darn shame because live recordings done right are magical.
I just got the ORG 45rpm re-issue, and if this edition is not straight from the master tape I don't know what is. Completely uncompressed with you-are-there presence, lightning-fast... you feel the nylon strings vibrating. Explosive rendition; and I think I finally found the A90's G spot
RUN to get this LP.
