that's a shame you don't enjoy this seminal "western-classic" as penned by englishmen, no less, to it's full extent...i think i've kept buying the cd's as they've been remastered and "improved"...i may even have the mobil fidelity gold release thou that's never been a sonic upgrade to my ears on ANY of that company's discs---go figure...sigh...

Well, I couldn't find my CD but I did manage to find a rip (44.100 Hz/16 Bit; WAV/FLAC) I did with EAC (2 tracks show 99.9% quality, rest 100%). Folder was labeled "Elton John - Tumbleweed Connection (1970) (MFSL)" so I'm assuming it's a Mobile Fidelity Sounds Labs disc but I really don't remember spending the extra $$ for a copy of this album.

Yep. Something just doesn't sound right. The mids and highs sound pretty good (for 1970 analog recordings) but the low end sounds "muddy" to me. I'm still sitting here tapping my feet and singing along with a sh*t-eating grin on my face.

Lot's of good memories.
