That Van Gelder story is tough to hear, cuz Michael is so right. That house was a part of US history, and should never have been demolished, but instead turned into a museum. Man, do I love those orange label 1st Impulse records too. I’ve unfortunately only got a handful of em, but they’re some of my prized possessions. That story about the Beatles mono “kangaroo jump” records was great, and I feel extremely fortunate to own a copy of that mono box set from 2014. What a beautiful sounding bunch of records. Love Michael’s DVD’s! I bought both of them. He forgot to mention his other one, “It’s a vinyl world after all”. Ken, thank you so much for doing these vids with Michael and Art. They are truly wonderful!
Excellent , informative...man I have really taken to all your vids. My collection has grown in wonderful ways because of your review vids. Please keep going.
I like Rudy’s recordings the way they were originally pressed. It’s history! I just acquired a Steve Allen first pressing, Jazz for Tonight, on Coral 1955. Check it out. Fantastic!
I'm English I live in UK. Bought Thelonious Monk, Album: Thelonious Monk Orchestra at Town Hall, New York. Bought this Album in 1960 in Manchester. How about terrific Pepper Adams only solo on this album. .
Yeah -Well- I certainly noticed the bass increase by the Beatles...and..didn’t know what to attribute it to....but was glad to hear this interesting interpretation of the ‘cause’ of the ‘effect’.
Love it! I love Michael's passion and knowledge even though I'm all dig***l in music. Don't tell him I have a bunch of those RVG CDs, and still like the music.
Michael, keep'um coming buddy. I'd SUBSCRIBE (pay!) to have 4 hrs a day accumulate of Vinyl classes #101/#201/#301/#401/ & Graduate classes. 1. Label Stories: BLUE NOTE, Pacific, Atlantic, Prestige, Emcy, Classic, AP, Pure Please & Sam, yada, yada. 2. Industry news + basics: pressing plants mastering houses, yada, yada. 3. Musicians & their stories (jazz for me) 4. Tech Talk about RVG, different studios of his along with others. Live venues vs studio sessions =1,000 of stories. 5. Basic Cartridges info / styles FIRST, then on TTs., phono preamps, etc. 6.Guests along side. Do it starting this weekend until COVID-19 goes away and we can leave our homes. You owe the public 4-5 books and some more dvd/blurays! Michael, your a GOAT buddy.
Another classic episode man Michael Fremer house is a wall of wax I can spend days there that Art Blakey & Jazz Messengers A night in tunisia is so good very cool OG stereo pressing. Ken great questions I always dig you interviews Michael Fremer turntable setup wow. Lovellandrew
Michael Have you ever heard the Lee Morgan rendition of A night in tunsia. Great percussion on this verison as well. on the blue note series ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lOIgcC0lPkU.html
Turntable design fascinates me but I don't see all that much real engineering going on in turntables anymore. I'd like to build a real hard core turntable but I don't have the machining resources yet. Several commercial tables get one thing pretty good but no one gets it all right.
Couldn't watch this video and not be distracted constantly by the focus of the camera which obviously had a hard time while Michael was standing next to the cabinet full of records.
