Paul's Boutique

[Tessier Ashpool]

Yeah, so finally grabbed this little gem - sounds absolutely great, with the sort of punch you always wanted the album to have but it never quite did.

 

Bass comes through nice and thick and everything just sounds like, well, the production fidelity most everything including/post Check Your Head.

 

Had a lotta love for this back in the day, really nice to hear a well done remastering job . . . unlike the "re-release" Radiohead albums which aren't even remastered. wtf?

 

Check it out, hot shit, hot shit

[Tessier Ashpool]

I just went for the CD, personally. Although I love vinyl, not necessarily worth it for that. . .

 

Cheap CD

[keltoi]

good album but the original, flawed or not, will do me just fine.

[Guest Iain C]

I've been meaning to hear this!

I suppose that's a recommendation then. I'll grab it at some point.

[Tessier Ashpool]

Yeah - I mean, I love the album but it just felt like something wasn't quite "all there." Like listening to an album in 128 kbps. Now there's that full depth and definition - totally worth it if you are at all a fan (incidentally, also a sign of how absolutely ahead of their time the Beastie's were)

And the Dust Brothers.

This is a good book about the story behind the production of Paul's Boutique. The surprise is: the Dust Brothers were getting their beats from a reclusive genius type in L.A.

I've read this book in it's entirety and it really is fascinating. The last half of the book chronicles where all the samples come from. Great read, made me love the album even more. So ahead of their time.

THIS ALBUM IS QUIET FUCKING AWESOME ON THE REMASTER ! ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

[keltoi]

you think it's mastered quiet chris moss acid? you'd hope they'd get it right 2nd time. (sry)

 

i say bollocks to all these remasters

 

exactly

thanks for the tip. my original cd is scratched to hell and I was debating whether or not to shell out the $25 bucks on this

[Guest aron]

i havent heard the remaster, but i always thought the original was mastered way too low

[Rubin Farr]

i ordered the vinyl as well. great to sit down and get stoned to on a weekend.

I've got the original on vinyl and it's easily one of the worst sounding records I have, and no amount of eq'ing can prevent it from being painfully obvious in the context of a set

[Chris Moss Acid]

quite

 

:(

Just downloaded this from soulseek and listening to it (already bought the album twice, not about to buy it again) - pretty impressive the samples/lyrics that you can actually hear now - like the call outs to all the girls on the first track and the pingpong at the beginning of 3-minute rule

how were you listening to it before ?

 

on longwave radio?

[Guest aron]

lol i was thinking the same. the original vinyl sounds pretty bad, but not that bad

[Guest Drahken]

wow that book looks like a good read, thanks guys! Oh neat, there is a DJ Shadow one too!

[Guest Drahken]

Just finished reading the Paul's Boutique 33 1/3 book, great read thanks for the suggestions.
