CD Reviews

Merely OK transfers from vinyl to CD

John Frame | Brisbane, Queensland Australia | 07/19/2006

(2 out of 5 stars)

"I bought this CD because the LP of "The Wild Side Of Life" was on high rotation in our family home when I was VERY young. I've heard some of these songs ("Wild Side Of Life" and "Great White Bird") on CD in pristine condition, however I was disappointed to find that all tracks on this CD are merely quite average digitally treated transfers from vinyl which was mostly in very bad condition.

There's no excuse for this because this week I imported (from the USA for US$6) a very good condition copy of the LP which, with a day's careful editing, has given me a CD which sounds absolutely perfect.

Burl Ives' arrangements were as amazingly good as the musicians and backing vocalists he chose to work with - and this album really deserved to be released as mastered from the original tapes (or at least from excellent condition vinyl)."
