Black Keys - El Camino at 45 rpm vinyl for RSD:

RSD brings another double dip by the Black Keys, El Camino at 45 rpm, pressed at Pallas, and apparently a new 'analog' transfer. The earlier 33 did not sound half bad at all - it's a rock album, it needs to be played LOUD. Grundman did the 33 version, and I am totally guessing here - but probably from a hi-res digital file. This new 45 rpm, also cut at Grundman, sounds analog. It just has more body, a more organic sound, it has balls and rocks all over, and this is one of those rare cases where the difference in sound turns a great album into a really fantastic one. Needless to say, I love El Camino. It is in my opinion one of the best records n the last 10 years. The CD is perfect for the car. The 33 vinyl is perfect for a home rock listen. The 45 is the get up and get into T.Rex boogie mode.

The 45 El Camino was pressed in big numbers and is dead easy to find. Get one if you love this record as much as I do.
