368.0. "I am *LOOKING FOR*...." by GNUVAX::KARLSON (Woman Explodes. Film at 11) Tue May 27 1986 20:03

    Well, I originally posted this in CDSWAP, and --jerry moved it to
    this notesfile for me.  However, my original posting was a "I know
    this exists, but I can't find it, has any one seen it, and where?",
    which quickly de-genreated to "Boy I really wish that <x> would
    come out on CD".
    
    So, I'm going to re-open a note.
    
    	I KNOW IT EXISTS.  Others have it.  I can't find it.  I want
    to get "The Doors -- LA Woman" on CD.  Have you seen this?  If so,
    where did you see it (preferable in the MA./NH area)?"  Thanks.
    
    	Basically I felt this note should be a "Looking for (know it
    exists), but can't find <X> CD" rather than "my dream CD".
    Thanks.

368.1I saw it two weeks agoGALLO::GSCOTTWed May 28 1986 00:0810
    I got my LA Woman at Strawberries in Harvard Square (15.99).  I make
    the usual trip (Coop, Discount Records, Newberry Comics, Strawberries,
    Boston Compact Disc) looking for titles; repair to the Wursthaus for
    sandwich and beer; then sweep back thru and pick up whatever has the
    best price that I want to buy. 
    
    BTW, Lechmere is supposed to be having a 20% off everything sale
    this week.

    According to Digital Audio, this Doors CD was released without
    consulting the people who engineered the LP, and there is some griping
    that the sound quality is poor.  Look in the May issue, I think...

    I thought the sound quality was pretty good in general- however
    it has to be kept in mind that this is a vintage recording.  Riders
    on the storm is excellent (rain "noise" masks the hiss!).

    LA Woman seen at BCD (Harvard Square) and at Newberry Comics (Harvard
    Square) last Friday afternoon (yes I took the day off!)

368.5The Emperor's new clothesDUBSWS::D_OSULLIVANIreland is not a NATO-memberTue Jun 03 1986 10:164
    I got this some months back and, unfortunatly, I've got to agree
    with reply .2 on the quality.  It's way too harsh and doesn't reproduce
    the athmosphere of the original.  But then the experts tell me it's
    my ears!
368.6GALLO::GSCOTTTue Jun 03 1986 14:358
    It has been quite a while since I heard the record (I listen to
    CDs only these days), but my LA Woman sounds about average for a
    10+ year old pop CD.  The Doors were never known for excellent
    engineering after all.  BTW I slao picked up Waiting For The Sun
    last Friday and I must say that it compares favorably with LA Woman-
    so if you didn't like LA Woman don't get Waiting For The Sun.
