05.Mar.2010 Leadbelly sings Gallows Pole.

I would love to hear some re-mastered discs of some of the country blues out there. I mean, the good remastereds. Fanatical as I am, I have an obsession for having the first  release that came out. (sadly, most of the time in cd format), and for a while now, I have grown fond of the  remastereds, that have been coming out, since some 8 years till now. The ones that are done with a certain degree of expertise. They bring out the splashes and sparks and bring out the tones which have been muffled by time, or by some other strange reason.

The “Blonde on Blonde” remastered I own,  is a prime example of this am saying. Its a complete new record. But there are sometimes tons of remastered discs, where some are ADD, others AAD,  others done with completely digital stuff, and so on. In the case of Albums which came out first as CD, am a fanatical of remastereds as well. This, according to what I said before, only if the remastered brings some sense of sonic unknown to the record. I drive myself with pretty abstract lines along this. And yeah, I have to own,  the first launch of them, and the “approved remastered”. Tho I always cherish more the first pressing. The one that  sounds as it meant too sound at the time of the release, or could sound when it first came out.   Well, this is Leadbelly singing Gallows Pole. Wiki pedia him. Am off to sleep cuz am starting to speak in strange tongues.
