Negative Positive
Title: "Bonus" tracks more like "Bogus" tracks
Review: I guess I should listen to the rest of the album, & compare it to my worn-out LP copy to see if this is better, but...I bought this CD for the bonus tracks...specifically, for the "single version" of "Sky Pilot (pt 1 & 2)". The original 45 RPM release was a vastly different mix, with the "flanging" & echo used sparingly, instead of laid on with a trowel as on the LP version. Also the fade-out between parts 1 & 2 began at the guitar solo. The so-called "single version" on this CD is just the album track reduced to mono, with all the excess effects, & it doesn't even fade out/in at the correct point. All makes me wish I'd never let go of the 45 I bought back in December '68. I expected that someone would have dug deeper in the archives & remastered the (better) 45 mix to digital
Is the review positive or negative?
