Good CDs Bad Recording


Interested to learn if others have CDs they like that are really poorly recorded. I'm not talking about the ones made in the garage, I mean big artists or studios that should know better and leave you wondering "what where they thinking?".

Mine is Crosby, Stills & Nash's "Daylight Again".. Whether I hear it on the radio or my home stereo or anywhere else the recording sounds like they accidentally cut off everything above 5 kHz. So muffled and dull.

Yup. Miguel Zenon. Alma aldentero: The Puerto Rican Songbook. Marsalis music label. Great material and musicians but recording a little bright and thin.  It's a shame because you can hear the guys become one with the music but the recording can't match the playing.
