Adventures in Mastering: James Taylor “SWEET BABY JAMES” for Audio Fidelity Gold CD

Steve, thanks for giving us some background.

 

can't wait...

 

Hi Steve and thanks for the notes and information regarding the upcoming CD. I am very excited about this one and really appreciate that you take time to reveal background information about your work for us at the Forum. Way to go, Sir..........

 

I will order this one from USA along with the Cat Stevens disc.

 

Thanks for the info/story. I really like this album and look forward to hear this new release!

 

Steve,

Thanks for sharing. Excellent job you and Kevin Gray did on the Music Matters LP. What differences are there in how the two projects were approached in mastering? Curious on it. Look forward to owning the AF Gold as well.

 

I love this album and I can't wait for this title to be on my player.

 

Really looking forward to this, a personal favorite.

Has JT himself heard it yet?

I think Steve talked about the original LP pressings.

The Warner LP remaster (SH/KG) sounds fantastic... hard to believe the AF will top this one. But I'm sure the AF will be the new digital reference disc.

 

This is going to be a real pleasure to listen to.

 

I don't have any James Taylor music in my collection. It looks like this may serve as a good entry point.

 

I don't currently own any James Taylor, and this seems like the perfect starting point. Just put in my pre-order.

Thanks

Edit: Wow!! I didn't even read the above post by DPM, but I basically copied them. ;

 

As the old Latin phrase says, "Age quod agis". (Do well what you do)

Steve, what you describe in this thread's OP is a good example of this.

 

Can't wait.
And then I can't wait until Steve does Mudslide Slim & The Blue Horizon!

 

Can't wait for this one.

 

great place to start! IMO, his best! even better now...

 

Well, this'll certainly be the best-sounding SWEET BABY JAMES CD ever.

 

who cares...we know what's best!

 

My 2nd favorite JT lp. I can't wait to experience it! (My fav. JT is the self titled Apple release.)

Steve, I was also wondering if JT gets a chance to hear it before release?

 

Yep, there'll be a period missing at the end of a sentence on page 5 of the booklet.
Mass hysteria will ensue

 

that's funny! I can see that!

 

this is huge! seriously...an amazing album...mastered by the best!

 

Gonna be tough to beat the Rhino/WB reissue LP cut by Steve and Kevin.
