More Dave Mason

TWO EXCELLENT SIDES, including a near-White Hot A++ to A+++ side one! We just finished our first-ever shootout for this album, and we were shocked at just how good it can sound. Bruce Botnick did the engineering, and this record has his signature sound all over it. Nobody captures deep, punchy bottom end like he does! Crosby and Nash are here too, providing excellent backing vocals to a few songs.

Side One

A++ to A+++, super punchy and lively! The soundfield here is amazingly big and open, and there’s a clarity and transparency that the typical pressing barely hints at. The background vocals (performed, at times, by none other than Crosby and Nash) sound excellent, with the kind of fullness and presence we didn’t hear too often. What a killer side!

Side Two

A++, very nearly as good as side one. The bottom end is strong and solid, the tonality is balanced and natural and there’s real openness and transparency up top.
