Title: Great song, horrible remastering
Product review: I went to see a live performance of John Cage's music back when I took a music appreciation course in college. Needless to say, this opus was executed perfectly and sounded fantastic live. Eagerly, I later picked it up on vinyl, which I still own (now very much worn out) today.I saw this track listed on amazon and had to download it, for nostalgic purposes. Much to my chagrin, I found this digital download to have a certain harsh, "tinny-ness" to it. I suspect a real amateurish sound engineer digitally remastered this from the analog tapes. Hell, about a decade ago I was in a John Cage cover band, and eventhe demo we recorded of this song sounds better!I'm looking forward to the release of a better remastering at the hands of a more reputable label, like Rhino. Only they could do it justice.
