Negative Positive
Title: the music and the fans deserve much better
Review: Having been primed by recent excellent remasters of a lot of old catalogue, from this period and even prior (think the excellent Sinatra Capitol '50s era remasters), many will race to buy this, perhaps most cherished, catalogue of my generation.They will be sadly disappointed if they expect to get the sonic improvements we have heard on the Stones remasters, the superior Hendrix, the revlatory Miles and even the uneven Dylan remasters.Neither the stereo or mono versions, show any great step forward in sonics, over the already available abysmal transfers to CD format. The cheesy outside cover speaks for itself in terms of the packaging. It also serves as a good clue to what can be expected inside. The included booklet is no prize either for that matter.If negative stars were an option, they would apply here. For a catalogue of work, as much a keystone of my generation as this is, this shabby treatment shoud not be forgiven, much less patronized.
Is the review positive or negative?
