thnx to the original releaser!   Review (AMG) Gerry Rafferty is a huge talent, but a reluctant star. Management struggles and sundry other hindrances limited his output, but couldn't avert the Scot from releasing two legendary singles -- the Tarantino-ized "Stuck in the Middle With You" and the unforgettable "Baker Street," the latter included on this record. Just a glimpse of John Patrick Byrne's cool cover art lets the listener know City to City houses Rafferty's day in the sun as he conquers the world one metropolis at a time, his guitar and amp in tow. Setting out in his apocalyptic "Ark," each song radiates the confidence of a master craftsman cruising in his prime, constructing brilliant pop confections with top-flight support while awaiting the crunch of civilization. The dreamy reality check "Baker Street" rightfully remains one of the greatest cuts in pop history. Forever-lost B-side "Big Change in Weather" further demonstrates Rafferty was on a rare roll. Domestic valentine "Right Down the Line" snugly followed to the height of the charts, and third release, "Home and Dry," while not of an immortal status, stands as a quality song. He even stomps out a smooth hoedown on the title track. Rafferty's turns of phrase and tight composition skills create a fresh sound and perspective all his own. Any diverse style (and he attempts many) filters through his unique mindset, resulting in a classic platter buoyed by many moments of sheer genius. "Whatever's written in your heart, that's all that matters."  |

Veloci 1. This is a rip from the original CD with covers, uploaded on private tracker 2. The fact that AccurateRip could not detect it, doesn't mean that much |

Yes! I know where the file come from! and yes your right about the accurateRip! But the sound is very strange! Look like a adobe audition Rework to me! A bad joke like the Aimee Mann (lost in space) MFSL? --->(?) But, i dont have the real one here... I just speculate!  |

Thank you it is very Nice! But what's the point? Do you think we can see the polishing job of Steve Hoffman on the pressure zones ? Unfortunately nobody can! I asked a proffessional to tell me how they (Steve and Kevin) do it! The answer: I dont know exactly! But it's sure these two guys have elephant ears! We can not see...  On the other hand with a very good Hifi Sound system we can clearly heard the special ''trade mark'' of Hoffman and Gray! --> Always the voices!!! |

I do not have bad ears, but I recheck after reading your comment. So I burned another CD and, in fact, you're right about this one. It is true that I find even today the voices of the first track a little aggressive (this track seems still suspect to me  ), but the voices on other tracks seem OK. I think also there is some hardness (Sax,electric guitar,etc.) here and there but nothing dramatic. I do not know what happened!  |
