Review title: Weird sounding remastering...
Product review: There are some great songs on this album but I was really disappointed with the remastering. The sound has been puffed up too much. There was a noticeable increase in tape hiss due to the excessive top and bottom end EQ. Too much was done during mastering and we're left with something that doesn't resemble the original sound.Remember when you were a kid and used to press silly putty onto comic strips? The first thing you'd do is stretch the picture so the character's faces were distorted and elongated. That is what this remastering sounds like. The sound is stretched and distorted away from the original mixes. It's like the audio version of watching a 4:3 show on an HDTV... Stretch-O-Vision(tm).Friday Music has been releasing a lot of great stuff. It's unfortunate Joe Reagoso has taken this heavy handed approach to mastering.
