Bruce Springsteen: The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle | Downunderman - August 5, 2024

Not an OMR but MoFi seem to have got lucky with their source tape all the same. My experience of this album on CD has been of a very clean, slightly bright and thin sound ...

Thanks for your excellent review Graham. I follow your advice on the Chandos recording and have deleted this one from my wish list.

Latest news from Universal Japan & Beethoven: the Karajan 60's Beethoven cycle will be released at the end of March on SHM-SACD (UCGG-9183), newly (!) remastered by EBS. The 5-SACD set also includes the violin concerto/Ferras as bonus.
