Yes .. total illogical bollockx I know but they seem more well, relaxed
.. pleasant to listen too .. more transparent!..

Could be that these days of everything being multi-tracked and an emphasis
on a 'perfect' performance from all in the session - and often things
being recorded at different times - you lose that 'something' that comes
from an essentially 'live' performance.
Too many think everything is in the mixing/recording process and miss out
on other perhaps more important things. Musicians too may not give their
best when they know it can always be done again.


I think .. you might be quite right on that Dave..
