Title: Great Album, Poor remaster
Review: Many people will look for the gold copy of an album to offer superior playback - it would be a given you would think. This is one of my all time favorite recordings. It has been butchered and sent back a notch by Audio Fidelity. Not sure what went wrong here - I compared several cuts back to back - The AF Gold and the latest Tamla remaster from Universal/ Motown on two players, Sony SCD 555 and Ah Njoe Tjoeb 4000. The dynamics are gone, the detail is down, the recording is veiled. To smooth a recording is acceptable - until you loose the dynamics.What a bring down. I would like to send it back..
