The Doobie Brothers-Livin’ On The Fault Line Side 2

Started off with a real turkey 3x platinum nonsense! My wife even commented this album is awful! Why did I play it? Was curious about the SQ which is just average. The SQ star here was Rita Coolidge. Mastered at The Mastering Lab-Mike Reese. The sound is tight/clean/focused/direct and detailed. Gino Vannelli has a slight digital edge that’s why the*. Dynamic would be the best way to describe this recording mastered by Bernie Grundman. Yes, I’m one of the few that enjoy watered down Moody Blues recordings from the 1980’s!

Just getting to LP # 2 of Titus Andronicus - "The Monitor" after listening to LP # 1 at lunchtime today.
