OK, let's have a list/videos of music that brings tears to your eyes because it is so good, yet so poorly recorded.
A few weeks ago I ran into this live presentation of The Civil Wars Billie Jeanne cover of Michael Jackson. I want looking for it and eventually found it on Amazon and bought it:
I preview tracks using my laptop computer and this sounded fine for a Youtube video played that way. Imagine my disappointment when I received the CD. The vocals sound like they are recorded with a smartphone in someone's pocket! So muffled and depressed in levels/dynamics. I don't think I have ever heard vocals recorded so poorly.
Yes it is an impromptu session in a record store. But they seem to have decent microphone and prep so there is no excuse for such lousy recording. Love the music so played the CD a few times but then couldn't listen to it anymore. It is so bad that if I turn up the volume in my car, the door panels resonate and buzz in unison with the music .
