I Know My First Name Is Stephen
Hello all
The latest topics make for great reading , keep em coming!
I just wondered what your thoughts were on the 30th anniversary remasters that came out a couple of years ago. I bought two of them, Made In America and Passage and was so disappointed that the quality and sound of them was identical to the original CD albums, apart from a slight increase in the volume level. Passgae sounded as dry as ever. As soon as I heard that very first drum beating kicking off B'Wana She No Home, I thought to myslef, what have I wasted my money on?! The same applies to the remastered version of Singles 69-73.
I don't understand the motivation for wanting to go out and rebuy the whole catalogue (at £16.99 per CD too or around $23!). What exactly is Richard supposed to have done with these CDs that makes them more valuable than the originals?
I read with interest the posts over the past few weeks regarding remastering, so don't want to go over old ground, just confused as to what difference they have made!
Are the earlier Cds (tan album, Close To You) the same?
