More Albums that Come Alive When You Turn Up Your Volume
Big speakers and expensive equipment might seem like the ticket, but they are not enough.
If you want to hear some smokin’ Peter Frampton power chords from the days when he was with the band, this album captures that sound better than any of their studio releases, and far better than Frampton Comes Alive on even the hottest Hot Stampers.
Grungy guitars that jump out of the speakers, prodigious amounts of punchy deep bass, dynamic vocals and drum work — the best pressings of Rockin’ The Fillmore have more firepower than any live recording we’ve ever heard.
We know quite a few records that rock this hard. We seek them out, and we know how to play them.
Who knew? We didn’t, of course, until not that many years ago (2014 maybe?). But we are in the business of finding these things out. We get paid by our customers to find them the best sounding pressings in the world. It’s our job and we take it very seriously.
Did any audiophile reviewers ever play the album and report on its amazing sound?
Not that I know of.
Do they have the kind of playback systems — the big rooms, the big speakers, the speed, the energy, the power — that are required to get the most from a recording such as this?
Doubtful. Unlikely in the extreme even.
They don’t know how good a record like this can sound because they aren’t able to play it the way it needs to be played.
