Harmony in my head
Has it struck any of you out there that listening to punk rock on CD is somehow fundamentally wrong? First-generation punk, in particular. It was just never meant to sound that crisp and clear; muddy production values were (and, IMHO, are still) part of the charm.
As I write this, it occurs to me that there may be some of you who have never heard punk any other way than on CD.
I think I need to lie down for a bit.
What brought this up was hearing a cut from the Buzzcocks album on a compilation available with the new issue of Uncut magazine. Same ol� buzzsaw Buzzcocks guitars, now with pristine production values. It just struck my ear wrong. Although now that I think of it, The Clash usually had a fairly clean sound.
Maybe I�ll have that lie-down now.
