Who remastered the '99 discs & what is wrong with them please?
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.

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.
I think Bill supervised the 1999/2000 remasters. I have all of them and will check the exact credits.
So, confirmed that Bill didn’t remaster them, and it took 2 blokes to do it.

“Re-Mastered by Ray Staff and Bob Whitney...Re-Mastering supervision by Bill Price.”

Right so remastered by Ray and Bob and supervised by Bill. But what exactly does that mean? Ray and Bob do the work while Bill checks everything is ok and signs off on it. Just as guilty in my book and I love Bill Price. Those '99 remasters sound bad to me. I remember how everyone complained about "The Clash" sounding awful on it's first cd release but that first version sounds better the '99 remaster.
RIP Bill Price.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Just saw that a week ago or so. Really cool.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Any good covers of Red Angel Dragnet? There's something in there amongst the goofiness.
