HiRez Poll Jeff Beck Group - ROUGH & READY [SACD JAPAN]

[J. PUPSTER]

Going with an 8 on this one.

I decided to follow @sjcorne's advice on this and drop the amplitude off the Center and LFE as I agree that it just makes things less focused and muddier all around. Also believe on some tracks it may even make the vocals sound a little rougher (and not ready) than they should be.

I isolated the center and LFE to listen and as Jonathan says, kind of an amalgamation of all channels in the center; and also the LFE is just muddy low end Bass around 100hz.

The music is OK, but I believe I like "The Jeff Beck Group" title more.

Geez, I just bought the Japanese quad of Blow by Blow, reviewed it here, and realized I hadn't reviewed Rough & Ready - which I've had for a few years now.

Not quite as good as Blow by Blow (both as a quad mix and as an album), but still good enough for a 10.
