Yeah, I remember listening to others(especially Hallelujah), but, prior to Hooker "n Heat, Boogie With... was the one I overplayed(though Scat, from Future blues, is one of my most fave Owl songs!)

For some reason panning the mike technique is one of the things I've yet to hear successfully or faithfully reproduced on CD...also present on "Magic Carpet Ride" by Steppenwolf; ""Baxter's" by the Airplane ( I forget the track name, I think it's "Spare Chaynge"), and a cut on Electric Ladyland, "And the Gods Made Love", IIRC.coastie99 said:I used to flog "Get Off My Back". That circling - sort - of sound between the speakers on the instrumental break was something else !
Well thank goodness that idiosyncracy seems to be limited to inanimate pieces of vinyl.... :lol:coastie99 said:Apparently, one of the worst things you can do with vinyl is play a track repeatedly while it's still hot from the previous play.

Forgot about that one. I know for sure it was mic panning on the Baxter's cut (read about it somewhere), with Zeppelin it might have been accomplished with sliders at the mixing board. Still why is does the separation seem so much cleaner on vinyl? Seems they ought to be able to acconplish teh same thing digitally. It tells me they're not paying 100% attention to the original engineering. Sacrificing overall spatial definition for a cleaner mix. That was one of the first things I noticed about CDs, "back in the day".fronobulax said:Not sure whether it is the same recording technique but I always used a segment of Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" (on vinyl) to balance the two channels in whatever room I was listening.

adorshki said:I seem to recall some pretty exotic engineering on "Parthenogenesis".
adorshki said:Also ordered the re-issue/re-master "Are You Experienced" at the same time, we'll see if that one has any "depth" too.
Yes indeed, quite a trip there!Better have the Koolaid ready for Parthenogenesis !! :wink: :wink:
Ahhh...good detail. A buddy of mine introduced me to some Hendrix stereo imaging on headphones way back in high school, but I don't like. don't use 'em.fronobulax said:FWIW, I think the strongest sense of stereo separation that I have experienced has been playing CDs and listening with headphones. I don't recall it being quite as good with vinyl and phones but it may just be that I own better phones these days.adorshki said:Still why is does the separation seem so much cleaner on vinyl?
