The Syd Lawrence Orchestra – Big Band Spectacular

“This album of tunes by Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, and Artie Shaw comes as close to being on the other side of the studio glass as I’ve heard from a recording in some time.” – Michael Fremer, Stereophile Magazine

“Both discs sound extraordinarily vibrant, alive, and real, and if the comparison between tape and D2D wasn’t so instantly available you would be more than happy with the tape based version that was cut from 24 track, two-inch tape mixed down to half inch tape at 30 IPS. But putting on the D2D reveals just how incredibly natural, warm and effortless vinyl can sound at its best. This pressing has a depth and richness of tone that’s irresistible, and even seems to ‘time’ better than its tape-mastered counterpart. Given big bands were all about precise timing, that’s saying a lot!” – Hi-Fi+ Magazine
