Title: Sound Quality Review of His Best Album EMI 2 Disc VS BGO
Product review: I just learned of the 2 cd version last week & had to get it, as I consider this to be Donovan's best by a mile (check out Isle Of Islay & Young Girl Blues). The BGO was remastered by "Sound Recording Technology". The EMI was REMIXED by Peter Mew. No mastering engineer is stated, but Mew is a likely suspect.In addition to the fact the 2 cd adds 8 songs, the sound blows away the BGO; likely more due to the remix than the remaster. The original just had too much hall ambiance/crowd noise & was very fuzzy. While the crowd still cheers too loudly in the same places, the EMI focuses on detail rather than the over abundant ambiance all to present on the BGO (& likely on earlier editions).While the EMI is a little too "modern sounding" for my liking, the added clarity wins by a landslide. Any brightness is also mitigated by the fact this is an acoustic show.There are apparently also 2002 & 2009 editions of the BGO 1 disc, I haven't heard them.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
