You're a good grandpa! Lucky grandchild to have a grandpa that has good taste in music and enjoys music in surround

I hope he never tells his grandpa that he’s out of tune!

Who Jack?

 

[esimms86]

Who Jack?

Yes, if that’s your grandson’s name!

 

[beerking]

Jack was only 25 when he recorded this album in 1969.
He wanted a totally different sound from his time with Cream and he's really gone for it in this release.
First listen for me.
It's taken me a little while to get into this album.
But I'm enjoying it the more I listen to it
Can I praise Stephen's mixing skills enough? Nope.
This album is 55 years old, I wonder how many tracks were available to produce this reissue in wonderful surround?

Ah touchè....

By George...(his name)

We had a great day yesterday, to hear this 2.7 yrs young man laugh, really lifts my heart.

I bought it when it first came out so I’m very familiar with it. I love, love, love the album and even a just capable mix will put me on that rope ladder to the moon. Anxiously awaiting my copy on this side of the pond. Looks like I won’t be disappointed!

By the way, Mountain did a pretty good cover version of Theme For An Imaginary Western(but, of course, Felix Pappalardi was in the band!).

Any thoughts? I was completely blown away to have the opportunity to revisit this iconic album - I was such a fan when it was first released!! SWTx

Does Esoteric have any plans to reissue his first album?

 

[SHB]

Excellent immersive mix. First time owner of this album. My only familiarity with it is the cover versions of theme for an imaginary western. Great tune. Enjoyable album. It's growing on me. Musically it's excellent. I'm glad I ordered it.

I know! It's nearly $20 cheaper than I'm paying Bull Moose.

Well, no it's not. Once you add tax and shipping. It's around $13 cheaper. Still....

 

[mandrix]

No shipping from the Amazon yet, but allegedly arriving August 2.
Looking forward to see what Mr. Tayler did with this iconic album.
I'm thinking the last album I listened to with Jack Bruce was Spectrum Road, which is boxed up with all the CD's. Somewhere...
