ctsooner Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 That Brinkmann is SICK! I have always loved the Atlas too, so I'm not surprised. Brinkmann gear is as good as it gets. I am loving my Nyquist more and more each day. Allows me to enjoy digital. I hope Rutan gets this album, but I'm sure Bob will meet me at Johnny's when I can finally get down there to visit. Really miss seeing everyone. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GdnrBob Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 You got it Pete. When I get the album, I will contact you and Johnny to schedule an audition. I am wondering if I should have the album digitized first. And, what is the best company to digitize it. B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Whip Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 You can do it yourself. We do it in our group and the needle drop captures the sound of the LP perfectly at 24 /96. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Vandersteen Posted February 11, 2022 Author Share Posted February 11, 2022 If you own the LP, I think making a digital copy for your own use is OK. Making digital copies for other people is not moral. If I had morals like that for the last 45 years our product would not be what it is today. I would prefer this not be discussed on this forum and I am not suggesting anyone has. Thanks, RV 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctsooner Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Guys, I just wanted to remind everyone that Richard has asked us all not to post about sharing music files and the like. It's technically illegal for most of the music to be shared, so he just asks for it not to be discussed here. Thanks and I hope I haven't offended anyone. Thanks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, RV The fine gentleman (Robert Merker) sent me an email, which I translated (loosely) as “how in the ‘el did you hear about this in Australia?” I emailed back, and Mr Merker sent the link for the digital (CD) version. It is in German and I need to await my sis to translate it into Aussie, English or Yank. He did day if they don’t ship to the US then he will send it. However, as I don’t want to make it too hard, so we should probably figure out how many CDs we want and do an order for the whole lot. It is 20-22 Euro/CD and 15 Euro shipping. My Sota mistracks in the car, so I’ll try a CD. The second CD will be for @GdnrBob … cause he is “a good bloke”. Who else wants the low quality version? 🥰 It’s st.

Brad O Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I received my album yesterday. It is well packed, and thank heaven. It arrived wet, considering that I live in the middle of a desert that has not seen rain for some time; it is curious. Luckily, the packaging delivered the album damage free. I can't wait to fire it up this weekend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmz Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Ok, for the CD/digital crowd, here is what you need: https://www.jpc.de/s/Sob+%26+The+Czyks+A+Soulful+Journey?lang=en I awaited my sister’s help, as she knows German. She said, “Did you try that button in the top at the middle, which says, ‘Switch to English…’ I wonder if that might be useful.”🤫 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gallup Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 (edited) Got mine today, and it indeed sounds spectacular, with nice prominent acoustic bass and a sound "stage" that feels as though you're in the studio with the musicians. I was also delighted to find that the music is in the traditional-jazz style that I enjoy most—a thing I didn't even think to inquire about before ordering. Und vorsicht: Die Linernotes sind alle auf Deutsch. Edited March 7, 2022 by John Gallup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every cut on this double album is one Eneke and I would want to listen many more times. Titel SOB & THE CZYKS, A Soulful Journey, From Big Apple to Big Easy SG-001. Not inexpensive but very carefully done and great sounding. Check it out. Digital folks, eat your heart out as this will not be released in digital, in fact no digital equipment was allowed anywhere in the entire process! RV I just ordered this LP based on your comments. Funny thing is I then received an email from a Robert Merker with Swingin' Gate Records. He wanted to know how I heard about it. I told him from you and quoted your above comments. Hope you don't mind. Looking forward to listening to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gsal Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Here's the latest email I received from Robert Merker with Swingin Gate Records regarding the CD: Dear Gary Thank you for responding to my question. Well Richard likes the album and I hope you’ll do as well 😊. However, the digital rights I left to the band and they actually released a CD burned from the Vinyl Cutting Session. So while the engineer was cutting the lacquer the signal feed was recorded to PCM. From there the CD was created (funny world …). Best, Robert 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
