You were expecting Promised Land? Me too.
I love the grains and texture of the voice in this version.
I am keenly looking forward to this set.

Without disliking it, I'd prefer the rough mix from the 'Boulevard' FTD. The room echo gives it a better atmosphere.
Promised land next then.. this Danny Boy preview is less relevant and doesn't reveal anything.
Yes, I agree about "Danny Boy". No surprises they picked "Danny Boy" as one of their advertisements for the shop window , but I'm more interested in all the work carried out on the Stax audio; that's where the sonic changes can potentially be more important. It will be interesting to see if anything at all was achieved with them. The Jungle Room sessions might have a little less reverb this time, but I'm not expecting as much from any of those tracks as from the other sessions..Robert wrote: ↑Fri Jul 19, 2024 11:43 amPromised land next then.. this Danny Boy preview is less relevant and doesn't reveal anything.
You can argue if it's an improvement in the first place, Matt Ross already worked on this track several years ago (Way Down in the jungle room) and there's little to no difference.
That said, it will be interesting to explore the new set once released, I'm sure several tracks will sound great.
His voice sounds somewhat like the How Great Thou Art sessions: full and tender, and with his famous vibrato. Just a little weaker, but one of the strongest performances of the last 2 years.
You mean the remixed outtake on that CD i assume. Because the masters were not remixed for that release.joekro1977 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 19, 2024 7:05 pmDanny Boy has been a favorite of mine for many years - this mix is very, very close to what we had on WDITJR but it's still nice to hear it again.
Doesn’t mean anything. It’ll be a fluff review so a wasted read
So there’s no truth in that rumour that’s being spread by Union Ave.sweetangeline wrote: ↑Sun Jul 21, 2024 11:14 pmI pre-ordered the MEMPHIS BOX from amazon.co.uk as that price was unbeatable!! Vintage Rock magazine well I have every issue and thoroughly enjoy them.
It might help if we knew who you were addressing, but if it's me, yup, ordered 14th June. Looking forward to it.
thanks i ordered it!
This is take 9? I thought it was the master.RKSNASHVILLE wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2024 3:18 amI’ve loved this take 9 version of “Danny Boy” and it isn’t much different than what we first heard on the “Platinum” set 27 years ago.
