Reviews
- What can you say, had me a real good time.
jb - Masterpiece. I never thought this would be a rsd release. Get it! Rod the mod sounds masterful.
- Edited 17 days agoAwful pressing. Made in Kazakhstan. It crackles like a forest fire and the stylus jumped 52 times on "Country Comfort".
Avoid! - Sounds great, really enjoying this one a lot!!!It’s got that wonderful, early ‘70s feel to it. I think maybe the description could be updated to indicate the format is mono, no? At least to my ears anyway…
One of my favorites of this RSD - a total sleeper but this rocks as long as you accept some of the tapes are almost like a notch above bootleg. Great grab if you get one cheap.
Is it in stereo or mono? I'm assuming mono...but why can't labels list this on the packaging somewhere?- Rod's voice sounds phenomenal—typical BBC quality recording. Happy to own this.
- Songs sound stellar, though they vary a bit according to each of the recording sessions. Pressing is perfect. Live studio is a great way of recording music. So much energy, and how high musicianship.
Fantastic! The Session on Vinyl! The mix is a Bit weak to my ears but the music is great!
