Steve, a Ray Charles question

[Dave]

Steve,

Just curious as to whether there is any difference between Ray Charles: Ingrediants In A Recipe For Soul on gold cd as opposed to the aluminum cd version?

PS. Holy Zoo, I noticed that the Sandstone aluminum isn't listed on the discography 1990;)

Yes, Dave the 1st, there is. The silver version was mastered on solid state gear, and has more of a clinical sound. The Gold version was mastered with vacuum tubes, and has a more euphonic sound, much like they would have heard it back in 1963 during playback, with all that nifty tube studio equipment they had at Capitol's New York studio.

I prefer listening to the Gold version, but I'll take the Silver in a pinch...

Oh yeah, Dave, go here and scroll down to the 7th post. There is another difference!

Thanks Steve,
I thought it sounded like some of the songs ended kind of abruptly.

Guess which one I just got (now where's that pouty lip icon).

Oh well, more gold cd searching I guess.:rolleyes:
