VARIOUS ARTISTS (WITH RY COODER) ---- BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB ----

This album has sparked the Cuba wave - and is still the culmination of it. Of the musicians, hardly one is under 70, and they perform the music of their home country with a matter of course and serenity, which is otherwise not associated with Latin American music. Compay Segundo, Ibrahim Ferrer and Ruben Gonzales are so confident as musicians that they have not needed to shine through obtrusive virtuosity for a very, very long time. Instead, they just make music. And Ry Cooder 'He has organized the whole thing and keeps himself otherwise wise, knowing who he is allowed to play with. A true moment of glory. (1997/1998 / 2006

Review:
When Ry Cooder traveled to Havana in 1996 to attend an album with West African musicians, he could not guess what incredible musical treasure awaited him there. The Africans did not get any visas, so Cooder and World Circuit producer Nick Gold decided to search for them locally and track down some musicians who had enjoyed a legendary reputation in the pre-Castro era but have not since then been away from home had been heard more and were forgotten by the world. He found such luminaries as Compay Segundo (almost 90), Ibrahim Ferrer and Rubén González (both well over 70) and a few others like the singer Omara Portuondo, trumpeter Manuel Mirabal and "young artists" like Eliades Ochoa (born 1946). The elderly gentlemen, some of whom had not been active for many years, happily went into the studio with Cooder - something that developed within less than a week was simply magical and not only became one of the most successful "world music" albums, but dissolved worldwide a long-lasting (and many great records) interest in Cuban music. A century-old album whose magic does not wear off: the music recorded here was already half a century old at the time of recording and has long proven its insensitivity to changing times and fashions ... (1997/2006)

In the wake of his landmark recordings TALKING TIMBUKTU with Ali Farka Toure and A MEETING BY THE RIVER with V.M. Bhatt comes BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB, essentially a supergroup of traditional Cuban musicians with the addition of international agitator Cooder. Somehow, Cooder always finds just the right space to slide in with his sinuous slide guitar, so that it works in almost any context. Here, amidst the multi-layered percussion, piano, and Cuban guitar rhythms, Cooder's slide simultaneously finds a home and spurs the ensemble on. The natural beauty of the Cuban tonal and rhythmic palette is the real star of BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB, evoking both a sense of mystery and a feeling of intense emotional satisfaction. .....................
***********************************************************************************************
In 2003, Classic Records launched its now famous Signature Blue Note Mono reissue series. As part of that series Classic developed an "authentic" 200 gram LP profile that replicated that of an original Blue Note record from the 1950's.  Comparing a test pressing on the new profile versus the same title on the normal 180 gram pressing it was discovered that the 200 gram version sounded significantly better.  The 200 gram pressing sounded louder, with more definition and solidity of notes across all frequencies and there was more detail - particularly low level detail like room or hall sounds, pages being turned, musicians whispering and automobile sounds outside the studio all became easier to identify.  At first it was speculated inside Classic Records that the extra weight resulted in the better performance as no one could come up with a better answer given that the stampers were the same as well as the vinyl pellets used on both 180g and 200g pressings.  One day, Michael Hobson, the founder of Classic Records was discussing this unexplainable sonic discovery with the Legendary Mastering Engineer and Sheffield Records founder, Doug Sax when Doug, without hesitation stated "Ah Michael you've discovered the difference in a flat versus conventional profile".  Puzzled, Hobson asked for an explanation which Sax described as going all the way back to 1950's mono pressings and what happened when stereo records came out in the early 1960's.  Sax explained that in the 1950's when mono records had no vertical modulation (only lateral), pressing PolyVinylChloride PVC (plastic) records were more easily pressed on "Flat Profile" dies fitted to the pressing machines since the grooves on the mono stampers were all the same height (no vertical modulation).  The molten vinyl was able to flow evenly across the stampers and fill properly during the molding (pressing) of the record.  The problems started when stereo record cutting came into vogue producing stampers that had variable height grooves sticking up across the diameter of each stamper.  Using the older mono pressing dies resulted in tremendous problems getting the areas between grooves of different heights to fill properly - a groove that is in front of another taller one often got passed over by the flowing molten vinyl resulting in "non-fill" which was audible and thus a "defective" record.  Pressing plants don't like to press defective records and are always looking for high pressing yields or a s few rejects as possible.

To solve the problem, the engineers developed a new pressing die profile which tapers from the center of the die, flattens in the middle of the diameter and then tapers again toward the outside of the die. The new profile was "concave" rather than flat.  When you put a flat stampers onto the concave dies the stampers distort and are no longer flat - the grooves are no longer perpendicular across the stamper and by association across a finished vinyl pressing.  This new die profile created "back pressure" on the flowing vinyl and solved the "non-fill" problem with stereo pressings and resulted in higher yields which was great for pressing plants and good for record companies who wanted good prices on pressings.  The problem was and still is that the new profile records don't sound as good as they could because they are not flat across their profile.  Using a micrometer across the diameter of a 1950's mono records reveals that the thickness is virtually the same across the record's diameter from center label to outer edge but not so for a newer stereo profile pressing which is convex across its diameter resulting from the concave profile dies / distorted stampers.  This is the dirty little secret that Classic had rediscovered was known to old school experts like Doug Sax who founded Sheffield Labs in the 1970's.  After the discovery, Classic Records never looked back and all of its releases and re-pressings after 2003 were on the new 200 gram Flat Profile dies that were specially made for Classic.  Some years later Classic discovered that the very same profile was used by JVC in Japan to produce the legendary UHQR pressings for Mobile Fidelity which are well known to sound better than the conventional Mobile Fidelity pressings of the same titles - it all makes sense now.  The long and the short of this is that Classic 200g Super Vinyl Profile (Flat Profile) pressings are as good as it gets for proper playback without groove distortion from non-flat pressings - Period.....

VARIOUS  ARTISTS ( WITH RY COODER)  ----   BUENA  VISTA  SOCIAL  CLUB   ----

Dieses Album hat die Kuba-Welle ausgelöst – und stellt bis heute ihren Höhepunkt dar. Von den Musikern ist kaum einer unter 70, und sie führen die Musik ihres Heimatlandes mit einer Selbstverständlichkeit und Gelassenheit auf, die mit lateinamerikanischer Musik sonst nicht assoziiert wird. Compay Segundo, Ibrahim Ferrer und Ruben Gonzales sind als Musiker so souverän, daß sie es schon sehr, sehr lange nicht mehr nötig haben, durch aufdringliche Virtuosität zu glänzen. Stattdessen machen sie einfach Musik. Und Ry Cooder´ Der hat das Ganze organisiert und hält sich ansonsten weise zurück, wohl wissend, mit wem er da spielen darf. Eine wahre Sternstunde.

Rezension:

Als Ry Cooder 1996 nach Havanna reiste, um dort ein Album mit westafrikanischen Musikern zu betreuen, konnte er nicht ahnen, welch unglaublicher musikalischer Schatz da auf ihn wartete. Die Afrikaner hatten keine Visa bekommen, also beschlossen Cooder und World Circuit-Produzent Nick Gold vor Ort auf Spurensuche zu gehen und ein paar Musiker ausfindig zu machen, die in der Prä-Castro-Ära legendären Ruf genossen hatten, seither aber außerhalb ihrer Heimat nicht mehr zu hören gewesen waren und ergo von der Welt vergessen wurden. Er fand Koryphäen wie Compay Segundo (fast 90), Ibrahim Ferrer und Rubén González (beide deutlich über 70) und noch einige andere wie die Sängerin Omara Portuondo, Trompeter Manuel Mirabal und "Nachwuchskünstler" wie Eliades Ochoa (Jahrgang 1946). Die betagten Herrschaften, teils seit vielen Jahren nicht mehr aktiv, gingen bereitwillig mit Cooder ins Studio – was dort innerhalb von nicht einmal einer Woche entstand, war schlechterdings magisch und wurde bekanntlich nicht nur eines der erfolgreichsten "Weltmusik"-Alben überhaupt, sondern löste weltweit ein lang anhaltendes (und viele große Platten nach sich ziehendes) Interesse an kubanischer Musik aus. Ein Jahrhundert-Album, dessen Zauber sich nicht abnutzt: Die Musik, die hier aufgezeichnet wurde, war ja bei der Aufnahme schon ein halbes Jahrhundert alt und hat ihre Unempfindlichkeit gegen Zeitenwechsel und Moden längst bewiesen… (1997/2006).......
