Ellington at Newport

SPOILER ALERT! Did not expect the first song!
After the first two songs, I don't think I can make it through an entire hour plus. I think Advert might be the best so far, but I don't care for the frizzy noise in production, would prefer it to be cleaner. Gotta admit for BritPop, not my thing, not bad. Wanted to like it but just didn't overall. They do have their own sound. If the remaster is this muddy, I hate to think what the original recording sounded like.
This album needs to come off the list ASAP! Mediocre at best. The only listenable original song was "Vicious World" and was added to my Liked list. He has a very nice voice. However most of his most popular work are covers and he does them with Beatle like quality. His 2nd most liked song "Another Believer" isn't on this album either. I'd never heard it and he co-wrote it. Not a great pick for his work. None of his top ten popular songs are from this album. I take that back, one is, "Oh What A World"
Not a metal fan. Even Black Sabbath.
From the first time I heard them, I've loved them. A lot of good nostalgic memories tied to this album.
