Keith Anderson Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Was going to post this in the music forum but as it's about a vinyl album I thought I'd post it here. I'm a bit of a Melody Gardot fan and have had her "My One and Only Thrill" vinyl for awhile. I heard a little while ago that a limited edition 45rpm ORG version was coming (only 2500 copies) and ordered it though Keith at Vinyleye. Picked it up Saturday and had a nice peaceful night last night having a listen. So dropped the needle and sat back. WOW, I don't know how to describe it like all those audio reviewers, but this 45rpm version sounds open, transparent, the brushes on the snare feel like the drummer is in the room and her voice, she's standing in my lounge room and her voice is sultry, yet powerful and no amount of shrill in the higher registers that I feel the 33 version has. This is a huge upgrade in SQ So if you happen to like her this is a very very good upgrade, and If I come to or have a GTG I will definitely bring or play this album. Oh course if you don't like this type of music then carry on as you were Edited February 10, 2015 by keitha 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krebetman Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Interesting, I thought I was just suffering from poor system setup when I noticed a certain bite in my 33 rpm pressing. Now to slip in the 45 without any of them family noticing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eman Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I 'D I G' early Melody Kietha ; ) Shrill 33 ? that's a tip to not get that then. Melody should be smoooth. Such a limited number of 45s makes it too expensive for me. Any sign of a vinyl version of the Live In Paris EP ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now to slip in the 45 without any of them family noticing... Yeah I always thought it was like the speakers had a blanket on them, a little dark and not overly open. This is definitely not like that. I almost should buy another because this is going to get some use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwbasement Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 That's good to hear, me too I thought something not right with my setup with the 33 rpm version.. I should order one and see. I think she has started her new album already, does anyone know when would be the release date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eman Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) I wonder how many people here know of Miss Gardot's' disability? The Bedroom Sessions is like songs from a dead girl. The songs on Worrisome Heart too are comments on her 'accident' and immediate following. As touching as her ongoing injuries are the actual music makes it worthy. The band is superb in the sparse support on those mentioned releases. Edited February 11, 2015 by E.Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be 1000's of females that can play piano and sing jazz cover versions better than Krall. BTW - you are going to get all the Metal heads upset calling them morons. My moniker has nothing to do with metal music, rather a song and early record label for John Foxx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
