I have wanted to start a 'remastered' rant post for a long time...but I never want to disrespect any of the mastering engineers who do the remastering...
I have no idea what they have to start with..so?
But... every single remastered disc I have bought this past 5 years sounds really bad. The worst 'sounding' is the Journey Escape remaster...and... it has dropouts (not complete but volume swells)!! No kidding. Not just my copy!
I think remastering is a supurb idea...if the integrity is kept pure...and who knows..maybe it is? Maybe some of these mastering heads are really and truly doing thier best work?
Either way...it doesn't sound pleasant here.
Whoever gets the honor of remastering the Beatles should have a fun time doing it!!
Much Respect,
