Ok well before I lost my entire collection 2 months ago (I’ll mention in another thread) I bought Live At The Palladium, Live In Japan, Offering
After starting my collection again last month I acquired the 2012 SHM Japanese Remastered Classics except Loveliness which doesn’t exist. They all have the same mastering, even the Ticket To Ride. Offering 2016 sounds better then that. (Thankfully that was still cheap as it’s my favourite.) So I bought Loveliness 2016 and just got it today.
Omg I am so blown away by Loveliness It’s like night and day. I thought that about the two lives albums, not so much Offering which did have SOME improvement.
I know all the tapes were burned, but why do these 2016 discs sound so much brighter? (I wonder how passage sounds since I play the 80s disc.) Were the source for these tracks taken from lost/alternate sources not used for the remastered classics? Or am I being fooled with the same Red Book audio just touched up well?
Thanks for any answers!
