CD Reviews

Edsel should have left well enough alone
Lee J. Davito | 09/20/2006
(3 out of 5 stars)

"5 stars for the actual recording effort on the bands part...1 star for the remaster disaster on Edsels part



Some people dont know when to leave well enough alone......The bass is weak and muddy ...the mids are weak and notched way down...and the highs are excessively overdriven...to the point of being harsh and unlistenable..causing major listening fatigue.



I have waited for several months for the release of these 3 double cd sets by Edsel.....I just gave them a listen....and all three sets must have been done by the same guy.....a guy with a severe tin ear.



The booklet is excellent....but do yourself (and your ears) a favor....if you have the earlier cd vrsions....stick with them....they're head and shoulders above this."
Disharmonious "Harmony"
Brian Curtis | Springfield, IL United States | 09/27/2006
(2 out of 5 stars)

"Of the 3 Edsel repackages, this pairing of "Captured Live At The Forum" and "Harmony" is alternately just okay and then horrible. The reproduction of the audio from the live album is very boxy in quality, although part of this may be due to the circumstances of the era it was recorded (1969). However there can not be any excuses for the ridiculous extended edits performed on several songs from "Harmony," including "Never Been To Spain," "My Impersonal Life," & "Jam," where for some unknown reason pieces of the songs in question have been edited back in a second time in order to lengthen their running time - a complete unneeded travesty! Plus "My Impersonal Life" also leads off with obvious tape warble issues. Exceptionally substandard. Look for the original MCA cd issues."
