Maxwell Street Alley Blues

If you need it on analog it is good music and is hard to get the first pressing on vinyl and costs around the same.

I guess the vocals are sang into the harmonica mic so the vocal sounds lo-fi but the rest of the instruments are ok. The bass is good. After the first track everything becomes a little better but then the same thing happens on the second tape. First track has a more muffled sound but then it opens up and is more balanced.

I tried opening up the sound with changing my tape players alignment and raise the treble, everything sounded better so I was surprised the engineer of the session did not do it. I had to recheck my alignment with my iec reference tape just to be sure!

WBF members are more into classical Operas than Blues...I think.

I want to thank both of you for your comments. I agree basically with everything that has been commented on. Regarding, opening up the recording with the treble, we copy directly from master tape through a Studer distribution amplifier to the duplication tape decks. I idea being that, the duplicate is as close to the master as possible. We really don't make any changes to the master. As for sales, we have had a number of other sales from direct contacts that we have on both the 1/2 track 15 ips format and the 7 1/2 ips 1/4 track. I think it was around albums at last count.

That's ok, I also have another album I am working on from of another long time Chicago blues guy "Studebaker John" which is self produced album that a lot of people really like. Songs for None.
Best,
Don

Personally I love Blues equally to Operas and Tango music.
