I wish I had access to an HDCD C&S so I could listen to a clean version of the album. I've got the standard CD, which as others have mentioned, could win prizes for its poor sound quality. I've only got a second hand vinyl version to compare with - but it seems likely that the bad sound on C&S is mostly due to the CD manufacture and not due to errors during recording. From: MDESTE1@aol.com > While I havent gone back and listened carefully > to these alleged "distortions" on her albums (I will this weekend by the > way) I must say that it is absolutly eroneous to believe that equipment > has anything to truly do with the matters that are being discussed. It's not the equipment, but the *use* of the equipment that matters. You can have the finest equipment in the world and produce a recording that is full of distortions, noise etc. If you set the levels wrong - that's it! Joni has said several times that she has stuck with recordings that were sonically inferior - even noisy or distorted - because they had a special quality that she knew she wouldn't be able to get elsewhere. The "clang-clang" sample she uses on the 3 great stimulants is one example. She stuck with it, even through others told her it has too much background hiss, because she loved the sound so much. She's also mentioned that there were recording problems with "Here's to you" - the percussion leaked onto the vocal track, which is quite a serious engineering mistake. BUT - she said the vocals were a "keeper" - she knew she wouldn't sing them any better, so she did her best to disguide the sound problems. This is clearly her style, and I admire her for it. She goes for all out impact of a song in preference to some objective measure of "sound quality". I think it's the same with Blue. There are at least a couple of tracks where the vocals start to distort on the loud notes. She obviously decided to keep these takes for exactly the same reasons - great expression and emotion - so who cares about a little distortion. I don't know how these parts sound on HDCD cause I haven't got hold of the Blue HDCDs either yet! There are quite a few examples of this kind of thing on many Joni albums. Little distortions, tape-splices etc that you can hear, but in most cases I figure that Joni put her foot down and said "we're keeping this one. I'm not gonna sing it better" - so that was that, and the recording stayed, with minor recording flaws and all. >everybody knows that Sgt. Peppers was done on 8 track not 32 or 64. Some >of the best albums of all time with outrageous sound were >done on equipment inferior to some of todays Actually, Sgt. Pepper was recorded on 4 track!!! Even more amazing eh? They used two separate 4-track machines for some songs, to be able to combine more tracks, but the final tapes were all 4-track. I think the White Album was the first album where they actually used an 8-track machine.

Walked over there with some friends to see how close we could get yesterday afternoon. There were probably about 300-400 protesters of various stripes directly and very indirectly related to the Kazan controversy. Because of the protesters, the police would not let anyone near the Music Center so no good celeb stories to report. Walking back we saw a skinny arm and hand reach out a darkened limo window and wave to us. My friend's daughter fantasized it was Leonardo Di Caprio. Late last night from my balcony we saw an inebriated man in a tuxedo sprawled over the roof of a car down on the street. Soon another tuxedoed gent came by and admonished him and poured him into a taxi. That was about it. De Niro's haircut was freaky! I also thought Whoopie did a great job.

One of the engineers at EMI found a way to sync two 4 track machines together... which I find amazing, being BT (before timecode). You're right about the white album being the first one to use a real live 8 track machine, which were already in common use in the US. Possibly the "Hey Jude" single used the 8 track before that. George Martin has stated that he, too, has gone for the feel of a take, sometimes at the expense of technical considerations... there are examples of double tracked vocals where a word or two are different, there's a missing note in one of "Daytripper"'s guitar riffs... maybe alot of people are bored by this, but I find it interesting to try to figure out what makes a recording tick, what process they went through, etc... some people want to know how their car works, others just want to get in and drive.

Crackles in the tape can be created over time by poor storage. I dare say very very few of the latter blips would be kept because there would be no reason to. As for performance gems, maybe in the old days when the entire band did a live track simultaneously (the 60's), but almost none have done so in the last 15-20 years. My guess is that all these things people are hearing have occurred in the remastering process to put old master tapes on new CD format. mass production f-ups may create too costly a run and they just let it (25,000 copies) go. Again I distinguish between product production and the recording process. lastly I say that Joni has worked with pros. Can you imagine some of the perfectionists like Klein, Dolby, Lukather, even Pastorious allowing some noticeable screwup to stay on the tape for all posterity. Im sorry but I just doubt they would. Keep in mind they can simply come back to the studio and redo the one verse or line where the screwup exists. Even today they could redo their part from 30 years ago. I conclude with this little story from Glynn Johns who did some all-time famous albums. When the Stones did Sticky Fingers and Beggars Banquet he notes that keith and Mick were always fighting. It seems that on one occasion they independently went into the studio and "fix" their album parts unsupervised without the engineer and they proceeded to mangle the master tape. Literally crease spindle and mutilate it. Listen to that album and see if you can even hear any production problems. This from a horribly mangled tape. I think the problems are in the CD mastering automated process. marcel. hoping no one is bored. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 22:06:51 -0500 From: "Jim L'Hommedieu" Subject: Joni Is Everywhere I have borrowed the Subject line from the Neil Young fans on the "Rust List".

In other words, it is really in the marketplace; I'm not, for now, forced to sell it out of my own home. You can go to your major local retail outlet (Tower, Virgin, Barnes & Noble, whatever) and ask for it in the jazz department. I was in my local Barnes & Noble today, and was told that the CD had been ordered but not yet received. Hopefully, you'll be able to purchase it soon as well as hear it on your local NPR radio station. Amazingly, BILLBOARD also ran a major news article about "Jazz Takes..." and the Arkadia label in their current (March 29) issue.
