Caveat Emptor - it's the awful first CD master of "Remember
Duane Day | San Francisco Bay Area, CA | 12/14/2006
(1 out of 5 stars)
"Beware! Disc 1 of this release is the
horrible first CD master of "Remember
The Future". Allegedly, the engineer
didn't realize he or she was mastering
from a quadrophonic mix, and just used
the 2 front channels. The result is just
atrocious - thin, guitar barely audible,
an total wreck. It's easily the worst
CD mastering job I have ever heard, and
I've heard quite a few. That some label
exec would decide to repackage this mess
as part of a "highlights" set boggles
the mind.
This doesn't deserve even half a star,
but one-star is the worst rating Amazon
allows.
Any CD of "Remember The Future" that
was mastered prior to 2002 should be
avoided at all costs."
