The overall mastering quality is good, but nothing spectacular. It is of the same quality as the earlier Anti Records vinyl releases. These are not audiophile records.<br /><br /> If there are compression problems with the CD release, they&#Black Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16648154214230442043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681676.post-90882524323117328942009-11-30T16:36:31.550+01:002009-11-30T16:36:31.550+01:00It does just that, Dan.

As far as live albums go, I haven't heard anything quite as good as "Glitter And Doom" since Philip Cohran's "The Malcolm X Memorial" album. John Coltrane's "The Olatunji Concert" is also a stunner. And, hey, both of these sets are free jazz albums that date from the 1960's.<br /><br /> In Tom Waits'Black Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16648154214230442043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681676.post-88726052889052009382009-11-29T15:47:17.806+01:002009-11-29T15:47:17.806+01:00Thanks for the info, Swede, No matter what this al...Thanks for the info, Swede, No matter what this album sure does collect some absolutely kick-ass performances....Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03361649023718028706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681676.post-84004896935513451012009-11-28T10:11:21.014+01:002009-11-28T10:11:21.014+01:00Well, the acoustic guitar really comes to the fron...Well, the acoustic guitar really comes to the front during the instrumental break, that is, when the "ship is rocking", for those who were in the shows. That's when Vincent Henry revs up to catch up with the rest of the band in improvisation. <br /><br />I think that the thunderstorm effect might have been used just in Edinburgh.
