Grand 12-Inches 5

[QUINNY]

is the best way to get a nice level out of a track without altering it greatly.

That would be tickety-boo if we could assume the coke heads who played on it and recorded it knew what they were doing and actually knew which planet they were one when they mixed down at 4 in the morning after a 20 hour session on gear that may, or may not have been serviced regularly and kept completely up to spec. Exaggerated, but I'm sure you get my drift.

Don't suppose there were ever any masters that were rescued by brilliant mastering or cutting engineers?

How do you think I feel about you? Guess you'll never know, as I never get personal.

Good heavens, Quinny please don't take it at all seriously or personally, just a silly cheap shot expressing how perplexed I am at your views on the subject that I've now said my piece on.

I'm definitely a bit mad, why else would I be on forum arguing the toss about something completely irrelevant in the GRAND scheme of things, unfortunately I'm not quite mad enough to be a genus that's the problem.

Finally the cd-box arrived which I pre-ordered from amazon.de (for 21,99 Euro incl. shipping, their 1st selling price was 74,99 Euro but got lowered to 57,99 Euro! And why did it take them so long to ship?)

I must say that I'm positively surprised by "Float On". Great track!

"Il Veliero" is really cool as well.

I didn't know "Stomp!" before and only realized upon hearing it now that the 1996 version by Quincy Jones I have on cd is only a cover version. I like both of them.

"Shake Your Groove Thing" I didn't know either but I'm wondering why it became such a big success in the first place as it's nothing special.
