Title: terrible sounding compared to what's out there!
Product review: It would be nice if Columbia/Sony would go into the vaults, and take the master tapes and release the damn tapes. Instead they give you a manipulated fragment.It's well worth trying to find or download " a tree with Roots". Not only does it have pretty much the complete basement tapes, but sound quality blows this release away. A more recent, "mixin' up the medicine" Neil Young's safety master is the best fidelity yet. keep in mind those are bootlegs. But what can one do, if the official release is garbage? Actually, I read that the film , "I'm not There", and it's title song from the basement tapes was mastered from Neil Young's "Safety Master". Supposedly given to Young by mistake? Eitherway, why wouldn't Columbia use that for mastering if that's the best known source they can locate ?
