    THE CARS – Toronto 1978 (1CD)

    Original price was: $16.49.Current price is: $14.00.
    Soundboard 9.8 - Hard to find any fault in this recording, and the mix is a matter of preference so I leave .02 open to interpretation on the rating. It actually may be a 10 it is that friggin’ amazing.
  • Audience 8.7 This is a good and clear recording that I really like because there’s plenty of headroom so you can turn it up and it sounds even better. Taper was using good gear apparently and I thank them!

    THE CULT – Los Angeles 2019 (2CD)

    Original price was: $23.49.Current price is: $22.00.
    Audience 9.5 - When you listen to this, just keep in mind it is taped by someone in the audience…you won’t believe it. Great balance, superb low end, sweet middle band tone, lush and warm with the perfect amount of high end (no sizzle or annoying squeal or cymbal wash). Just terrific, and the band sounds great!

    THE CULT – Toronto 2018 (1CD)

    Original price was: $16.49.Current price is: $15.00.
    Audience 9.3 - This recording effectively conveys the power and volume of the gig, with pretty much a direct blunt force to your brain. There’s not a helluva a lot of headroom in the recording meaning the levels are at peak (no clipping or distortion) so if you plan to crank it loud, just be prepared for a lot of neighborhood complaints.
  • Soundboard 9.2 - I like these intimate sounding gigs, with tight and punchy mixes. A great early set!
  • Audience 8.6 - With the shortage of recordings spanning 2016 to now, anything is welcome including this rather spacious sounding capture. Bigger on atmosphere than super focused instruments, the vocals ring loud and clear but guitar chimes behind most of it all. Still, rather good, and I will take that!

    THE CURE – Austria 2019 (2CD)

    Original price was: $23.49.Current price is: $22.00.
    Soundboard 9.5 - I believe this originates from an ALD recording, so yeah, it’s real good.
  • Soundboard 9.5 - Solid all the way through. A band who’s sound and style is suited for larger venues and consequently they are usually always well mixed and balanced. Nice One!

    THE CURE – Glastonbury 2019 (2CD)

    Original price was: $23.49.Current price is: $22.00.
    Soundboard 9.5 - A very good mix, if there’s any complain I can make it’s that I found the music slightly compressed in the mid frequencies but this is extreme nitpicking…just trying to find a blemish in an otherwise perfect recording I guess.
  • Soundboard 9.2 - Pleasant, airy, well balanced but it does lean toward thin sounding to me. Still, it’s not exactly a heavy band anyway, so that leaves the listener with much more stuff to hear in the high range, keys, percussion, etc. Sounds very decent.
  • Audience 8.7 - What you get here is a lot of large stadium ambiance, actual recording is pretty realistic from around the middle of the venue – not overpowering and good, clear, loud enough to get a sense of the event and of actually being there. It’s good – it’s not overwhelming – just good. Not a lot of 2016 tapes out there so I like having yet another one since the band played different songs at every venue.
  • Audience 9.2 - Startling realism, bright, clear, punchy, and well positioned with some peripheral audience atmosphere to really put you in the seat in front of the band. It does sound like the taper had great seats. Really nice this one.
