Keep in mind that if this is to be re-mastered specifically for "digital distrobution," they will be eventually converted/ compressed to MP3 or AAC for the itunes buyer.

The more dynamic range somehtng seems to have before going to mp3 (i.e. "natural" sounding, with light-handed mastering), the more trouble it has when it goes to MP3. then it will be played on an Ipod, then an FM transmitter in an icar play.... well... unfortunately, to make it work with all the other music on an Ipod...

It might need to be "squeezed."


A sad day. Dumbing down some of the greatest recordings on earth so they sound "good" on ipods.


And no one will notice folks... 'cept us. *sigh*
