Title: What is up with The Animals catalog?
Review: 5 stars for content....no stars for audio quality. Does anybody remember all that extra reverb on the original records? Can someone from "whoever owns the former MGM Animals catalog" entourage please explain why the original MGM E series masters are not being released onto CD? I have (9) so-called "re-masters" from various labels and I have come to the conclusion that I will never be able to obtain clean monophonic CD releases of the pre-"Winds of Change" MGM material. There are good "sound quality" tracks here and there, but you have to buy a lot of repeat material. Acquiring truly mint copies of the original vinyl is expensive (MGM didn't seem to set very high standards for pressing vinyl either).This material is exceptional and deserves far better treatment than basement ProTools hacks cranking this stuff out of their basement.
Is the review positive or negative?
