I love the "sound" of these recordings. Modern production just sounds, well, modern! Haha, I used to talk a friends ear off about his songs that he was recording. His favorite bands are The Beatles and The Beach Boys and i insisted he had to record it to sound "old" like that... He seemed to not hear a word i was saying lol. Of course it's not cheap to put together the right gear or find a studio with that stuff so there ya go.
