Format:Audio CD
I have listened to a lot of albums by Herb and his band of Brass men and thought nothing could match the sheer excellence of 'Going Places' but this comes real close. The title track itself is worthy of a few quid for this masterpeice. Throw in a mixture of other excellent tracks including Magic Trumpet (thme to match of the day anyone ???) , If I were a rich man , Freckles the list goes on . Very Happy music indeed.
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I grew up listening to Herb Alpert and I still have this album on cassette, purchased way back in the 1970s. It is difficult - impossible for me anyway, to pass judgement on the music of Herb Alpert and in particular these two recordings of "Going Places" and "What Now, my Love". So I will refrain from doing so and concentrate on the CD recording instead.
Even after repeated use the clarity of the cassette recording which I possess is, much better than the CD recording on this 'signature series' CD, which I have just acquired. With my limited experience of audio recording (I have a Bachelors degree in Electronics with a special paper in Audio recording!!)I do know that recording on magnetic tape loses clarity over the years unless maintained in "proper" conditions. My cassettes are kept in a far from 'perfect' condition. Therefore, treble loses MUST have taken place over the years. Thus, a recording made from the original master on to CD should, in theory anyway, sound better. It does NOT in this case.
The producers of this CD must understand that with treble muffled, the music sounds like a cassette being played with a severe 'azimuth' error.
As far as I am concerned, purchasing the CD for its traditional clarity was of no use in this particular case and I will think twice, maybe even three times, before buying 'Going Places' available on the same 'signature series'.
That explains the 3 Star rating.
