🎷 AotW: CTI Tamba 4 - WE AND THE SEA (SP-3004)

[Rudy]

Sound quality sounds pretty much identical to the Verve reissue from a number of years ago.

It's always been a bit of an odd-sounding/muddy album, even on vinyl, so there probably isn't much to improve. The muddiness didn't help the reel version--I sold that one off decades ago since it sounded so bad.

Definetly go there when you get the chance. The store is very clean and well laid out, and their prices are reasonable. In the 45 years I've been going to used record stores, this one is the best. Unfortunately the only other used record store in the area worth visiting is Squeezebox in Evanston. The rest are dirty stores with poor selections.

A buddy of mine in Chicago has a lot of places he visits for vinyl. I might make a weekend of it in the summer and go on a vinyl crawl. He knows a lot of places although I don't know if he's ever gotten over to Dusty Groove.

I should talk. A record store moved into a storefront within walking distance of the house, and I haven't visited it yet.
