More of the Music of Jennifer Warnes
More Records I Could Happily Live Without
Sonic Grade: F
A hall of shame pressing on import vinyl from 1992. Many years ago we wrote:
This is a SUPER RARE Private Music German Import LP. The last two copies of this record listed on eBay went for over $600!
All of which was true. We left out, however, what an awful record The Hunter is in every way.
If you like your heavily processed big production pop to sound as unnatural as possible, this is the album for you.
Not one instrument sounds remotely like it should, and that is surely an insult to audiophiles of every stripe.
The problem was that so many self-identified audiophiles did not seem bothered by the execrable sound, certainly not to the extent that we were.
Oh, but it’s on vinyl! That should solve all the problems with the recording.
Yes, the CD was bad, but the vinyl was no better. I had them both and couldn’t stand either.
But FBR Is Killer on the Right Pressings
The only album we like of Ms Warnes is Famous Blue Raincoat.
It is her masterpiece, a core collection record, and a clear case of one and done.
When you have a good copy of Famous Blue Raincoat, you have all the Jennifer Warnes we think you will ever need.
