One of my favorite albums and one of The Band's best, their self titled second album sounds terrific in this remaster. The sound stage, dynamics and detail that are often missing from "modern" remasters are all here. Audio Fidelity has done a nice job with this reissue and Steve Hoffman's remaster nicely captures the warmth of the original recording and Hoffman uses the original master tape for the first time since the original pressing of the album (let's just say that one band member has had it all this time and wouldn't give it up).

If you're going to buy the regular remaster from 2000 that sounds pretty good as well and does have the advantage of the additional alternate takes for other tracks on the album but it doesn't sound as clear and warm as this edition.

The big difference between this and the previous reissue aside from the master being used for the first time in years is that this has only the original 12 tracks for the album plus "Get Up Jake" an outtake from the sessions that should have been on the original album. The outtakes that were on the reissue of the album aren't here but that's a small issue for me as this album has never sounded this good on compact disc before.

Track List:
1. Across the Great Divide
2. Rag Mama Rag
3. Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
4. When You Awake
5. Up on Cripple Creek
6. Whispering Pines
7. Jemima Surrender
8. Rockin' Chair
9. Look out Cleveland
10. Jawbone
11. Unfaithful Servant
12. King Harvest (Has Surely Come)
13. Get Up Jake [Outtake-Stereo Mix][*]

Thanks, KillerRips, excellent stuff! :hi:

Some minor fixes in CUE Sheet:

TITLE "Across The Great Divede" --> should be Divide
TITLE "When You Wake Up" --> should be When You Awake

Если это SuperSound, то я за себя не отвечаю! :bad1:

Очень не понравилось. Он испортил запись, как это уже было с Криденсами. :pig:

Как его зовут? Hoffman? Ich habe keine Hoffnung mehr für Hoffman... :laugh:

KillerRips, thanks for Release! :hi:

P.S. Хочу пояснить. Если Вы не слушали MP3 2-3 года, а тут вдруг слушая эту запись - нахлынули воспоминания... :bad1:

То Вы поймёте меня! Сейчас дошёл до 10-го трека. Нет, не могу больше. Вы меня извините, но это что? Один мат на языке... лучше не буду слушать, а то ещё обижу кого ненароком. :fu:

И ветка здесь не при чём. Можно здесь оставить. По сравнению с битрейтом 128 кб/с - это настоящий Супер! :diablo:

ns38, конечно не удобно перед KillerRips. Человек старался. Не как некоторые звукорежиссёры... :rolleyes:

Мне понравилось. Сочный бас, четкий вокал. Но учти, что этот альбом я до этого никогда не слышал :music:

Наверное, изначально лента была не самого лучшего качества (вспомни Alice Cooper - School's Out)

I compared the AF to my reference Pastmasters CD and the AF significantly bests it. While similar sounding, the Steve disc is more detailed, vocals are clearer, and the bass is superior. All while keeping the magic blend of instruments and voices intact and avoiding harsh treble/bass EQ boosts.

QUOTE

It's a bliss to listen to this album, even on my humble audio-setup! Garth Hudsons brilliant playing is clearer, the deep groove of "King Harvest" is there in all its glory and the vocals sound fantastic!

QUOTE

Let me say I had a chance to play this yesterday and it is OUTSTANDING!

QUOTE

This is the best sounding version I've ever heard and I own every possible CD and LP pressing including the RL 1st issue.

QUOTE

sound terrific, very detailed and about as open as it could sound, some of the cuts still have that muffled feel but that's what they were going for. I didn't get that immediate foot tapping effect as I did with the Capitol "from the vault" LP but it snuck up on me and I was extreamly impressed by the end... and the cut of Get Up Jake rules.

QUOTE

This CD sounds very good to my ears. Nice clarity in the vocals on Cripple Creek and bass is superb throughout. I am also enjoying Heartbeat City which is not too far off from my pristine Quiex LP.

QUOTE

this is one of the best NEW reissues of the year for me. I LOVE this album (having just listened to it for the first time on the Capitol From the Vaults vinyl release this year and fallen in love) and I am hearing new subtle things in the arrangements that I haven't heard before. Amazing how a good source tape and sensitive ears can make a good project GREAT.

Но для инетереса спросил там насчет источника :drag:

Сочный бас... он его перекрутил. Чёткий вокал... если они не чётко поют. А верхи, где верхи? Звонкие тарелочки? Их барабанщик забыл использовать? :lol:
