What album would you love to hear the raw tracks from?

[skoora]

None.

I just want to hear albums the way they were intended to be heard.

My favorite albums are magical to me. I prefer not to dissect them.

Exactly. The only thing to gain is that people may cut themselves a little slack at home when they realize that their thin and unimpressive "soundscape" is exactly what they got on the $100,000 record but then Engineering and production skill came into it.

On the other hand I would love to hear guitars from a few Queen records and many Motorhead records to discern what's guitar and what's bass. Because the bass is dirty it's hard to get a real sense of it.

On another note I would be more interested in hearing isolated vocal tracks and harmony tracks than guitar tracks, except for maybe Thin Lizzy guitar harmony tracks.

Dokken - Back for the Attack

Agreed about vocals!

Skid Row - Slave to the Grind
Ozzy - No Rest for the Wicked
Ozzy - No More Tears

Some of my favorite tones in the mix and I'd love to hear what they sound like without the rest of the band.

+1 on the Skid Row That was my #2

Loved the album Slave to the Grind. Would love to get stems for this one:

The isolated guitar tracks are usually very disappointing tone wise. The magic is in the mix......the great studio engineers should get royalties from amp sales & have their posters on bedroom walls

You're saying you don't have a Michael Wagener poster??

I think it's interesting to hear isolated tones and important for up and comers to hear them so they know how to shape their tone is relation to a band and not by themselves... But ones I need to hear? I think it would be interesting to check out some of Lynch's stuff, some Skid stuff, Extreme stuff (Ok, so essentially Wagener's stuff!) but some magic might be lost. I remember hearing an iso track Slash had for like Appetite or something and how hissy, tinny and treble-y it sounded... Now that's something my ear picks out in the mix if my head goes "Hey, remember that video of Slash's tone iso'd?"

 

[PBGas]

I'd like to hear:
Dokken - Under Lock and Key
Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengence
Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast

I'd love to hear some of King's X Dogman for this same reason! Love that album, but it's hard to tell where the guitar stops, and bass begins imo.

I always enjoy listening to raw tracks from great singers! Any early Queensryche, Dio, Iron Maiden, Skid Row, Journey etc...

 

[Aristocat]

Extreme: Pornograffiti
Van Halen: WACF
Dokken: BFTA, T&N
Aerosmith: DTL, Rocks, Get Your Wings

I have the multi tracks from Bohemian Rhapsody, but they are on YT too, so nothing special. It's fun playing around with them though.

I would like to sit and listen to a lot of the modern pop productions, to get an insight in to what they are actually doing.

 

[sivad]

Loudness-- Thunder in the East

 

[nick f]

anything by iron maiden

 

[skoora]

Another two I thought of were Gary Moore's Run For Cover and Wild Frontier. Strip away all that verb and listen to the majesty of it underneath.

 

[Gorehog]

l.a. guns- cocked and loaded

 

[155]

anything Hendrix he did some crazy shit in the studio ..

 

[Hung Huy Tran]

Agree with Whitesnake 1987 and Blue Murder s/t.

Also, Kiss, Lick It Up and The Elder.
