メルヴィンズ：サード・マン・レコード・ライブ

I’ve got the blue room ambiance on this pressing and the low-end rumble from the bass cuts through beautifully. Side B’s closer really showcases the raw immediacy you only get with that direct-to-acetate process.

The direct-to-acetate recording really captures the raw energy of their live show, and the pressing is dead quiet between tracks. I’ve listened to it three times already, and the bass on side two is absolutely crushing.

The jacket art on this live set is beautifully done, and the pressing itself is quiet with almost no surface noise. I do wish the track listing was printed on the back rather than just a sticker, but the raw energy of the performance really comes through.
