Stewart, Al - Year of the Cat - White Hot Stamper

*NOTE: There is a bubble in the vinyl that plays as 5 light thuds at the start of track 3 on side 1, "Midas Shadow." Tubey Magical acoustic guitar reproduction is superb on the better copies of this recording. Simply phenomenal amounts of Tubey Magic can be heard on every strum, along with richness, body and harmonic coherency that have all but disappeared from modern recordings (and especially from modern remasterings). If you exclusively play modern repressings of vintage recordings, I can say without fear of contradiction that you have never heard this kind of sound on vinyl. Old records have it -- not often, and certainly not always -- but maybe one out of a hundred new records do, and those are some pretty long odds. What The Best Sides Of Year of the Cat Have To Offer Is Not Hard To Hear The biggest, most immediate staging in the largest acoustic space The most Tubey Magic, without which you have almost nothing. CDs give you clean and clear. Only the best vintage vinyl pressings
