Re: What Vinyl of LSC did you compare: The original Shaded Dogs? The Classic Records re-issues?

Teresa,

I own a mixture of both. Some, but not all, of the Shaded Dogs are distinctly lacking in bass content. I would speculate that it was scaled back at the time to allow pickups of the age to track them. Having said that, a few of the Classics do seem to be a trifle overblown in the same region.

In a more modern vein, I have never quite understood why otherwise beautifully recorded music by what I consider to be the labels most sensitive to minimalist techniques (Reference Recordings, Chesky) insisted on spotlighting, for example, the bass drum. In live music, you NEVER hear that drum 'booming' the way that they do on, say, Chesky's LP of Pictures at an Exhibition ('Power of the Orchestra").
