Very encouraging to learn that someone's still releasing good-sounding tracks, even if they're just downloads.]]> Thu, 07 May 2015 17:39:14 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8348&PID=43563&title=michael-murphey-wildfire#43563 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8348&PID=43562&title=michael-murphey-wildfire#43562 Author: eriejwg

I downloaded a copy online of Blue Sky, Night
Thunder from Rhapsody, so it's not from CD. It was
pleasant to find it wasn't brickwalled in the least.]]> Thu, 07 May 2015 12:05:50 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8348&PID=43562&title=michael-murphey-wildfire#43562 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8348&PID=43561&title=michael-murphey-wildfire#43561 Author: crapfromthepast

Interesting! What's the copyright/release date for your copy of Blue Sky Night Thunder?

FYI, I dug out a post of mine from the Steve Hoffman board from 2010:

The 45 version sounds great on Rhino's Have A Nice Day Vol. 14 (1990). The same analog transfer is used for:

• Razor & Tie's More Fabulous '70s (1991; differently EQ'd digital clone)
• Time-Life's Sounds Of The Seventies Vol. 32 AM Pop Classics (1993)
• Time-Life's Sounds Of The Seventies Vol. 39 Pop Nuggets Late '70s (1995; differently EQ'd digital clone)
• Time-Life's AM Gold Vol. 22 1975 (1996; digitally exactly 0.8 dB quieter)

The LP version runs 4:46 and sounds very nice on Columbia/Legacy's Rock Artifacts Vol. 2 (1991), with a digital clone on:

• Time-Life's 2-CD Body Talk Vol. 20 Heart And Soul (1998; digitally exactly 1 dB louder)

The LP version also sounds pretty good on Time-Life's 2-CD Singers And Songwriters Vol. 3 1974-1975 (1999), which uses a different analog transfer.

To get the 45 from the LP, lop off the first 43 seconds so it begins on a downbeat, and begin a fade at 3:44 in the album version (= 3:01 on 45).​]]> Thu, 07 May 2015 11:53:14 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8348&PID=43561&title=michael-murphey-wildfire#43561 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8348&PID=43558&title=michael-murphey-wildfire#43558 Author: eriejwg

From the even though it's easily available in it's 45 version department, the quality of my copy from AM Gold
1975 has always
seemed, to my ears, that's it's overly compressed. Not sure if it's from a high generation source or not. [Ron is
the expert on that. :)
], but I recreated the 45 version from the album Blue Sky, Night Thunder and it seems much more pleasing to
my ears.
