Joni Mitchell Court and Spark (DCC Gold Disc)
I always liked that album, and that was one of the first ones we [DCC] wanted to do. We used the master tape. It was mixed over at A&M, very solid state sounding. I eased down that solid state "blanched" sound a little bit by running it through one or two layers of tubes, just so her voice would get a little "bloom" in it. It still sounds a bit flat, but I didn't want to add too many layers of rose-colored glasses on there, because after a while you can't see anymore. I just helped it a little bit... hit the record button and let her play all the way through, and I thought it came out great.
