Re: American Epic- T-Bone Burnett, Robert Redford, Jack Whit
Is it me, or is it there some irony in this? The records of transfers of old 78s sound better than the records of brand-spanking new recordings from the same sort of machine that recorded those old 78s.
"And the message is clear: if we want Jack White as our hero, he will entertain, but not pander. We have to accept all his flaws, whims, caprices and manias as a critical, sometimes uncomfortable, part of the contract."

So I asked TMR, and they said "The trifold sessions LP was actually pressed at United Record Pressing, as was the limited edition." Which at least saves me shelling out extra $$$ for the limited, as they said "I'm afraid it may sound similar." I've already tried multiple cleans of the one I have, without noticeable difference, so I guess I'm stuck with an album that's infuriating to listen to. Too bad it had to be that one.
