Charlie Haden & Pat Metheny – Beyond The Missouri Sky (Short Stories)

not so good pressing, a lot of noise and crackles...it's a bummer since music is wonderful...

After pro-ject cleaning it sounds good. Only side D has audible surface noise and couple of crackles that cleaning didnt fix, its mostly in the backround but still a bummer. Other than that the sound is great and the music makes you fly above, lovely album 🫶

Wonderful music, one of my Favourite PM albums , but terrible pressing - extremely noisy and prone to static

great sounding tape (At least 10 words must be entered. Please enter at least 7 more.)

Many words have been written about this music.
Everyone who is sensitive, likes beautiful sounds
and very good quality recordings should have it.

So I’ll present my take. I have a solid hi-fi system and I think this record sounds great. Definitely not an audiophile pressing; its got a tiny bit of noise floor. But it’s flat, clean vinyl, with pretty dynamic sonics. And of course the music is just wonderful. I have no regrets purchasing this and I’ll spin it for years to come.

For this production, I definitely recommend the CD version, better dynamics and silence without glitches.

My vinyl pressing has permanent light noises in the background. Especially side D. 5 Stars for the music, but only 3 Stars for the european pressing.

Okay, just found ... the pressing from Russia has some copies where they production run
is a mistake in pressing. Some copies have one of the sides where there are more tracks
on the record than song titles listed on the label. Play these and it is actually a Disney LP
pressed on this side starting with Can You Feel The Love Tonight by Elton John and Mary
Poppins is on there too. Enjoy your collectable !!!

An impressive and commercially successful guitar/double bass collaboration between Metheny and Haden. Drawing on elements of Americana as well as the jazz and improvisational heritage of the two artists, it is best described as contemporary jazz and approached on its own merits. The double LP re-issue is very well pressed and the packaging and sleeve notes are excellent. Vinyl lends itself superbly well to the warm tones of this music and, although I also have the CD from when it was first issued, this release is now my go to version. My only wish is that it had been released as a gatefold rather than with the notes on the internal paper sleeves.
