Joe Walsh The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get

Joe Walsh The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get on 200g 45RPM Vinyl 2LP: Mastered from the Original Tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio, Pressed at QRP

Everybody knows the greatness that is "Smoky Mountain Way" and it's almost impossible not to get swept up in its charm. It's just one of the many reasons that 1973's The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get proved to be Joe Walsh's solo breakthrough. Released in-between stints with the James Gang and Eagles, this isn't just your average '70s classic rock album, rather it's a rock 'n' roll smorgasbord that traverses many different moods and styles from the the dark "Wolf" to the bouncy "Happy Ways" to the soaring "Meadows" to the breezy "Days Gone By." There's a reason Joe Walsh has been the secret weapon in every band he's played in and the multi-faceted The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get is as good an indicator as any as to why!

This QRP-pressed 2LP set, with the music spread over four sides of vinyl, reduces distortion and high frequency loss as the wider-spaced grooves let your stereo cartridge track more accurately. Exquisite sonic detail is captured on these 200-gram discs, bringing out the exemplary mastering job by Kevin Gray.

"As always, the pressing quality of this QRP product is exemplary. Cut from original analog tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearant Audio, the bass response is noticeably improved. The 45rpm cuts mean changing sides more frequently, but the sharper detail and expanded soundstage make it worth the effort."
