Some people love John Denver...I'm not one of them. The cover of "Fire and Rain" is insipid. "Let It Be" fares only slightly better. He also covers McCartney's "Junk", and adds absolutely nothing to it...the most banal and derivative cover I've ever heard. "Sunshine On My Shoulders", "Wooden Indian", and "The Box" are all cringe-inducing in their own special ways. My copy plays fine, with no noticeable surface noise, but this pressing seems to suffer from distortion any time Denver's vocals become too earnest and overwrought. -
I'm not sure the pressing or mastering was the greatest. Some distortion on songs and dynamics seem limited. Great songs though!
