Nash, Graham - Wild Tales - White Hot Stamper

Nash, Graham - Wild Tales - White Hot Stamper*NOTE: There is a dimple in the vinyl that plays as 7 light thuds about 1 2 way into track 3 on side 2, "I Miss You." This is a criminally underappreciated album, and perhaps that has to do with just how poor the average copy sounds. When you get a copy like this one you cannot fail to appreciate how powerful and deeply emotional these songs are. Drop the needle on the title track or "Grave Concern" to see what we mean. To read what another fan, and

crank up the volume

Classical music is really the ultimate test for proper turntable/arm/cartridge setup (and evaluation)

) 90 seconds of track 1

then you have a good copy

If you exclusively play modern repressings of original recordings

and RCA mastering engineers were able to master from that analog tape

It ain't never going to make the TAS list or get a mention by anyone in the audiophile press

If you can add a few dB around 50 cycles

and that's saying something

With so many heavily-produced instruments crammed into the soundfield

Famously Bass Shy

we love Blue (1971) but most pressings suffer from a raft of sonic problems
