simon & garfunkel - blues run the game (studio-1965) this sounds f***ing INCREDIBLE for 1965 [View all]
Strangely, I've never heard this tune before, it just came up on the spotify ... and I have to say I'm absolutely FLOORED this recording is from 1965. Why? Cause of how GREAT it sounds.
Most of my fellow music nerds can nail pretty closely when an older song was recorded just by the way it sounds ... dynamics, tape hiss, etc.
There were HUGE advancements in recording made between 1930 and ... well, now, really ... but I'd say around 1980 was when things started sounding fairly close to as good as they (can) sound nowadays, and most everything out there from pre-1980 'sounds like it's time', recording-wise ... but THIS?
Listen to this song ... 1965? Are you KIDDING ME? The clarity? The noise floor? The dynamic range? Holy balls this sounds amazing for 1965 ...
Oh, and it's also a brilliant song
