Default Re: Big Band records - plummy sound

Just to add some science attached picture shows the response of the three files under discussion.

The Hylton Lazybones shows a brickwall, presumably digital, filter at 5.5kHz. It also has a strangely boosted bass leading to there being more tonearm/cartridge resonance than midrange! There is also a slight burble on the vocals suggesting some noise reduction has been applied.

The Wilbur Lazybones shows a more gentle top roll-off and a rumble filter.

The Wilbur Miss Otis regrets has the most extended top of all reaching maybe 8.5kHz before a rapid roll-off. No rumble filtering has been applied.
