Re: The Clash observations thread.
Probably. The store I was in is one of the only indie record stores in Milwaukee County. They operate a handful of stores (maybe 3). The particular store I was in is in a suburb of Milwaukee. I really had a blast browsing the racks - something I have not done in ages. I ended up picking up the new remaster of Badfinger's "Wish You Were Here" which I had thought about ordering online for months. Felt good to buy it from an actual store.Flex wrote: ↑28 Dec 2018, 2:08pmMost likely explanation is they've just never sold through stock of the '99 issues.WestwayKid wrote: ↑28 Dec 2018, 1:55pmI (sadly) rarely make it into record shops...but I was in one the other day and as I was browsing I noticed that while they had every Clash CD...they were all the 1999 remasters. Were the 2013 remasters ever released as single discs in the US? I picked them all up as part of the Sound System box - which I bought on Amazon. Just thought it was interesting that they were selling the 1999 discs instead of the 2013 discs.

Re: The Clash observations thread.
I think Bill Price remastered the '99 editions. Brickwalled so they are too loud and have too much bass. The job that Tim Turan did on the SS box is fantastic.deny wrote: ↑30 Dec 2018, 12:45pmWho remastered the '99 discs & what is wrong with them please?Marky Dread wrote: ↑30 Dec 2018, 3:07amThat bell is the least of the problems with those discs.BR16ADE_R055E wrote: ↑30 Dec 2018, 1:07am#DistortedBell
I think that Vic Anesini did the mastering on the original COB box (the long box) and that sounds way better to my ears than the loud/harsh later reissue.

Yep. That Anesini release is great (Not a patch on a Marky Dread master, but about as good as the stuff has been presented in an official capacity, probably).Marky Dread wrote: ↑30 Dec 2018, 4:58pmI think that Vic Anesini did the mastering on the original COB box (the long box) and that sounds way better to my ears than the loud/harsh later reissue.
