Is something wrong with the original master of "Randy Meisne

"A while back I had purchased the Wounded Bird Records reissue of the LP Randy Meisner, only to discover the mastering was thin and high with lots of white noise noticeable at the beginning of tracks or on more quiet moments of songs.
I was hoping with this 2-on-1 reissue, the album would have been remastered better since it is on Sony/BMG release. WRONG. This white noise hiss is just as bad. All the tracks from the One More Song LP sound great, but if you're looking to get rid of that old Randy Meisner self-titled LP, forget it. This mastering is not the ideal way to preserve this LP onto CD."
One of best 'former Eagle' albums - a welcome return!

"Randy Meisner left the Eagles in the aftermath of Hotel California (1976) and released a (pretty uninspiring) solo effort in 1978.
Then, out of the blue, came 'One More Song' - a truly superb album. Any Eagles fan will love it. With 'Hearts on Fire', Meisner kicks off the way he means to continue, and doesn't put a note wrong thereafter - ALL of the songs are top class stuff, but a special mention must be made of 'Gotta Get Away', 'Come on Back to Me' and 'White Shoes'. The title track is sublime.
'One More Song' did appear on CD some years back, but this had latterly become a rara avis, used copies commanding three-figure sums*. So this two-on-one release, offering one of the very best 'former Eagle' albums at an attractive price, is a 'must-buy' for Eagles fans even if the second album on the set falls a fair way short of the first. Great stuff!
* PS: At time of writing, Amazon is listing one copy of this at $299.99...."
