dissapointing audiophile recording


Just curious what is your most dissapointing audiophile recording that you have heard, and not from a sonic stand point but a musical one.
Mine is at the moment a Kenny Rankin chesky cd recording " because of you" that I picked up at a Goodwill for a buck. I find it vocally and its musical presentation very milk toast and bland at best,almost like listening to bad Kenny G not that I believe there is any good Kenny G.

I will listen to it tonight. Maybe I judged him and the contents of this cd much to quickly.
Seems like the Classic label is problematic. Had a couple of bad ones in a row- some kind of nasty pressing gremlins.

Kenny G with- Jeff Lorber Fusion- Album-Wizard Island -Great!!
I just find listening to Kenny G is like eating rice cakes you want something more but you know thats it.
For a while I was furious that Sony was releasing ancient recordings on SACD. I got burned buying a that, I don't recall all the details off the top of my head, was remastered from a 1952 mono recording. I failed to notice that as the time, as I made an impulsive purchase. The SACD "remaster" sounded like it was recorded through two tin cans and a piece of twine.

Contrast that with many of Deutsche Grammophone's new DVD-A recordings in the studio they built a couple of years ago that sound tremendous.

The lesson here, is if you buy your discs new at a store, patronize a record store that lets you listen first.
