John David Souther, Same, 1972, Asylum UK, K 53026
Looking at the front cover picture: this man seems to be sad, tired, depressed. He apparently is not happy with the results of the studio sessions for this album: the dynamics are rather poor. Kinney pressing's mostly are a little bit disappointing. Anyone able to hear the drum's cymbals or hi-hat played by Gary Mallaber? The vocals are clear and forceful.
Listen to the bottleneck guitar on track B4 "Out to sea" played by Wayne Perkins.
This album is a calm one, appropriate for this rainy sunday morning while preparing lunch.
The songs are not as sad as John David looks like on the pictures.
Anyone with a different opinion?

David Bowie, The Man Who Sold The World, 1970, Parlophone EU, DB 69732
Iconic cover art by Keef.
Produced by Tony Visconti, who contributed also bass, piano and guitar.
Mick Ronson guitar. His Les Paul sounds were very special.
This is a 180g remastered 2005 reissue from a Czechoslowakia pressing factory with IMHO rather disappointing dynamics. Under pressure they have to produce to many vinyl Lps in these days of "European vinyl revival boom". The young rock music vinyl fans don't know about the quality of those old vinyl issues of yesterday.... Or do they know???

Live concerts only for rich people? Antisocial? How much does a concert of Neil Young cost in USA?
Live concert visits as a Status-symbol?
P.S. I'm not a socialist......
