Title: Don't Buy This.
Product review: I respectfully differ with the positive reviews for this collection (and for the "Face to Face" reissue as well.) I dropped $50 on this set of table coasters and I'm frankly angry. They're almost unlistenable. I find it very hard to conceive that a qualified mastering engineer (or anyone involved with making the original records) signed off on this.The bass! The BASS! Everything is done to pump every amount of bass in the tracks. There so boomy and ultra-compressed on the bottom end that it creates harmonic bass blooms way below the original frequency range of the recording. Someone said the records are compressed but not "brickwalled". I couldn't disagree more. When the sustain of the bass not is much louder than the note itself, you have ridiculous compression and bass issues going on.I'm so displeased at the money I spent on these reissues that I may indeed get in touch with Sanctuary and ask for my money back. The previous reissues sound great. Stick with them. Don't buy this!
