Cool... Reminds me of Sabbath in the early days. :P Speaking of Sabbath - Born Again was rather awful in terms of production. It also had one of the ugliest album cover ever. Not as a Sabbath album, but I like it nonetheless - some of the songs, anyway...  Hotter Than Hell by Kiss was equally ugly, and sounded even worst... But Parasite was a cool song.

Yes quite like Born Again...I have that on tape somewhere  DJ Shadow's album "Entroducing" from the 90's was another favorite lo-fi album, all done with a Akai MPC60 MKII using 12-bit samples, some of which weren't the best....and the mix was often very muddy in parts, but boy what great music...Midnight In A Perfect World....

The production is awful, but you love it anyway. Discuss.

Some early Depeche Mode probably qualifies for me.

Great album, but it sounds like it was recorded in a toilet. Even the remastered CD version is awful.

I don't think that's the recordings fault Steve, when I saw them live they sounded the same....

This fits well with a question I was gonna ask anyway.......
Mrs Paulo recently bought me compilation album that contains Joy Division's "Love will tear us apart". Sounds like I mixed it in on my first day in Sonar . Did it always sound bad, 'cos it sure does now ?

Yes, that is a pretty nasty sounding track.

Phew.....not just me then. Shame 'cos I like the song a lot. A real bomus for all those that covered it though, 'cos they could only make it sound better.

Santana's 'Black Magic Woman'. Even when I had the finest Hi Fi at the time and the best quality imported quality record it still falls short of what we are hearing now. Imagine this re recorded today with all our magic now. Of course it still does not detract a bit from the original version which we all know and love so well. Hendrix 'Are You Experienced' could have the modern recording treatment and I think it will sound killer now too. But albums like 'Dark Side of the Moon' hit the nail for me fidelity wise at that time too which was pretty amazing when you think about how other albums were sounding around that time too. Being a hi fi enthusiast in the 70's listening to very high end gear and being around others who had great listening skills was interesting at the time. There were larger discrepancies in terms of hi fi sound from various albums around at the time. Nashville were already turning out magnificent acoustic and country sounds by then. And of course electronic music was already sounding very good in that period too. Bypassing microphones and recording things direct meant being able to create a very high quality picture.

Zappa's "Absolutely Free" is another rough and ready lo-fi favorite of mine. In fact I don't think I'd like it if it was hi-fi.
