| QUOTE (Steve Hoffman): | | A few of the early MCA Elton's were sourced from the MCA copy tapes, but most came from Digital clones of the DJM digital remasterings. The "Your Songs" compilation I did on Elton came from the existing MCA copy tapes, transferred "flat"...." Try and find the old DJM CD of this album; it's the best there will be. I actually had Kevin Gray unearth a copy for me in England when he went in the late 1980's. Any DJM Elton John CD should be on our wish list. They were the best. |
| QUOTE: | | For what it's worth, the relevant tracks on the West German S/T sound almost exactly like Steve's "Greatest Hits" mastering, suggesting that they transferred the original master tape flat and inserted the remix of "Sixty Years On" in there. |
| QUOTE: | | The DJM CD, which, my God, I wish I still had, was BEAUTIFUL. Very natural, not-too-bright sound. Listen to the EQ on the DCC EJ Gr. Hits for "Your Song" and "Border Song" and that's very similar to how it sounded. |
| QUOTE: | | The WG DJM of the self-titled has an alternate mix of "Sixty Years On". I would imagine that this is an original master, and that the tape with the final mix is a copy tape with the new mix spliced in. It's just a guess though. Maybe Steve knows. He handled those tapes. |
Диск звучит потрясно! Действительно, наравне с MFSL/DCC ремастерами. Почти уверен, что использовали Master Tapes
