Wish list of higher quality recordings


This topic really spawns from a horrible movie I watched last night. "Last Days"...a loosely based final days of Kurt Cobain. I don't recommend the movie at all, the highlight is watching him eat Coco puffs (no joke). At any rate it did make me wanna listen to some Nirvana CD's I have lying around. And when I started to listen I kinda got pissed off.

There are a few artists I REALLY wish made an effort in recording. The Nirvana unplugged album was a great effort, but everything else is compressed. Most rock recordings are but they don't all have to be, just listen to Alice In Chains. So feel free to list the albums, recordings that you oh so love but really wish they had remixed, remastered or both.

U2...a live album that isn't totally compressed.

Nirvana...all studio albums...the Mobile Fidelity offers more air but suffers like all the rest, with an overall lack of dynamics.

Seandtaylor99, Too bad you're not running a TT and could hunt down a used record. Tumbleweed Connection can be had with excellent sound on either the first issue UNI/MCA 2014 or the Japanese DJM King (K22P-205?) record. The sound beautifully jumps off the vinyl on this recording. Cheers!
Cream
Motown
Zepplin
Buffalo Springfield
The Spencer Davis Group
Big Brother & the Holding Company

You name it! Any great rock band from the sixies on up that left us with compressed sounding drums and poorly mic'ed focals... it's sad. I love so much of that music that I grew up with and most of it is not all that Hifi. Hmmmmmmmm
