What Are You Listening To?

Music is not bad but the vocal is a little deadpan for me. It needs to sit higher up in the mix. There is a serious problem with the mixing of the drums. The idea is good but the recording/mixing is shoddy. But I have to admit the idea is there. Is this a mono mix because on headphones there seems to be little or no separation between the channels?

Thanks or the constructive analysis J man ! I liked it because it sounded different ...lol...from InsideOut new prog releases!

Going to listen to Bad Company - Bad Company, Desolation Angels, Burning Sky & Straight Shooter, Run with the Pack today. In the mood for some straight old rock n roll.

And now onto a pure classic - love the guitar solo on this at the end - classic Gilmour - turn the volume UP!!! - http://youtu.be/ojf18wT_Xtk

And while I am dabbling away with a Hammond organ part on one of my projects I am going to be listening to Oh Mercy by the one and only Bob Dylan. One of my favourites by him.

Simon and Garfunkel - The Concert in Central Park - a meeting of the minds. Stunning concert.

THE BEATLES "a hard days night" vinyl,cd 1964

UK career stats 1962-70

studio albums: 12
singles: 22

album stats: #1 literally everywhere!
singles:
"cant buy me love"................................#1UK, #1 AU,#3 CAN,#1 US
"a hard days night"...............................#1 UK, #1 AU,#1 CAN,#1 US
""and i love her" b/w ""if i fell"................#20 CAN,#25 US
"i'll cry instead" b/w "im happy just to...".#25 US

this was The Fab Four's third UK studio album...i refer to UK because it seems everyone else mish-mashed their albums with different tracks,different titles etc to suit their own country's needs and wants in the early years to catch up on two years worth of missed material i guess???
anyway, this was the first Beatle album whereby Lennon/McCartney(or should that be McCartney/Lennon?) wrote every song.
great,great harmonies on this album as was the case with their earlier albums when they were a band who liked eachother!
also, this album contains their first attempt at studio trickery in the double tracking of Macca's vocals on the beautiful ballad "and i love her",mind you, they werent the first rock artists to do double tracking...that was first done by Buddy Holly in the late 1950s.
theres really not much to criticise about this album, its a good solid album of early 1960s pop/rock and the tracks that only scored a 'like' rating from me could quite easily have got full marks,its simply impossible to knock anything they released IMO except that stupid "yellow submarine" album.
no need to put up links for any Beatle album as im sure we all know the songs...except Jerome who does not own one solitary Beatle album...shame on you J-man, shame on you!
