Who Said What?
Dif Juz - Who Says So? [RFM 24 UK 1983 24-Bit FLAC]
Between releases as part of the 4AD roster, Dif Juz released Who Says So? on the Red Flame label in 1983. I never acquired a copy back then, consequently it was been on my 'wants list' for quite some time. I was delighted to pick up this mint copy recently with the assistance of some blog donations.
Unwisely overlooked since release, this album is another mostly instrumental journey through the jazz-punk experimental creativity of this remarkable band who retired from music in 1986. Surprisingly Who Says So? has never seen a reissue and good copies are difficult to find. This platter was a joy to rip using my new set-up as the Cambridge CXA-81 (What Hi-Fi? 2019 award winner) handles the frequency ranges output from the turntable and pre-amp in crystal clarity without distortion and treats all the lows, highs and mids with full respect. If you listen closely, you can hear studio chatter between some tracks. It is also great to rip from a decent pressing with very little vinyl-rumble in the quiet sections.
