![]() No doubt there’s more but we hope that should do for now. ![]() Transparency and resolution, critical to hearing into the three-dimensional studio space.Natural tonality in the midrange - with all the instruments having the correct timbre.Tight, note-like, rich, full-bodied bass, with the correct amount of weight down low.Only the best vintage vinyl pressings offer the kind of Tubey Magic that was on the tapes in 1968 The most Tubey Magic, without which you have almost nothing.The biggest, most immediate staging in the largest acoustic space.What the Best Sides of The Notorious Byrd Brothers Have to Offer Is Not Hard to Hear Old records have it - not often, and certainly not always - but maybe one out of a hundred new records do, and those are some pretty long odds. If you exclusively play modern repressings of vintage recordings, I can say without fear of contradiction that you have never heard this kind of sound on vinyl. It’s what vintage all analog recordings are known for - this sound. If you love hearing INTO a recording, actually being able to “see” the performers, and feeling as if you are sitting in the studio with the band, this is the record for you. Folks, that sound is gone and it sure isn’t showing signs of coming back. This vintage Columbia pressing has the kind of Tubey Magical Midrange that modern records can barely BEGIN to reproduce. 4 1/2 stars: “The Notorious Byrd Brothers showed the group continuing to expand the parameters of their eclecticism while retaining their hallmark guitar jangle and harmonies.”.David Crosby is shown the door, fittingly replaced on the album jacket by a horse’s ass.This outstanding Columbia 360 label pressing boasts solid Double Plus (A++) sound or close to it from start to finish.
