and impressionable, even overriding the harley event...the group basically locked themselves in a castle and created a mid-seventies masterpiece...thx, scotty, for turnin' me on (dead man)---not really... two other rarities that i got turned onto in '72---a very poor recently married man wirkin' for $2.25 an hr. by the store mgr. after he knew my tastes...THE MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA (johnny mclaughlin/billy cobham) (very much heavy jazz fusion) and, the tender, melodic, so soft hippie-romanticism (with top-grade COLUMBIA studio cats) poetry of JIMMIE SPHEERIS (rip, on his b-day, sadly)... i hears it; i either loves or i don't...these, i do... |

to me, that's a really progressive choice as a number one pick...this was a surprise, delightfully, after the kinda weird turn on 3 (and the discharge time from the service...no strong vocals/no sense of me)...by the tme it came out i was m,arried and wondered if'n my kids would climb or swarm rocks some day...

BTW, Tumbleweed Connection is one of my all-time favorite albums, artistically, but the production is some of the worst I've heard.

All the rest of Sir John's albums that I've heard have had good to great production quality. Not sure why Tumbleweed Connection sounds so bad to my ears.

that's a shame you don't enjoy this seminal "western-classic" as penned by englishmen, no less, to it's full extent...i think i've kept buying the cd's as they've been remastered and "improved"...i may even have the mobil fidelity gold release thou that's never been a sonic upgrade to my ears on ANY of that company's discs---go figure...sigh...

Well, I couldn't find my CD but I did manage to find a rip (44.100 Hz/16 Bit; WAV/FLAC) I did with EAC (2 tracks show 99.9% quality, rest 100%). Folder was labeled "Elton John - Tumbleweed Connection (1970) (MFSL)" so I'm assuming it's a Mobile Fidelity Sounds Labs disc but I really don't remember spending the extra $$ for a copy of this album.
Yep. Something just doesn't sound right. The mids and highs sound pretty good (for 1970 analog recordings) but the low end sounds "muddy" to me. I'm still sitting here tapping my feet and singing along with a sh*t-eating grin on my face. Lot's of good memories.

Maybe it's just me. Or the way EJ wanted it to sound. Someone listen to the first 30 secs or so of Amoreena and see if the drum sounds weird to you.
I don't think anything on Youtube will be hi-fi, but here's the YT search results if you want to try: Amoreena - YouTube
