    When the fuck will we get Dave`s solo albums remastered?

    The six pack sounds amazing after remastering.

    However, my CDs of "CFTH", "EEAS" and "Skyscraper" display all the ineptitude of early CD mastering.

    Nothing outrageous, just kinda muffled and not as loud as they should be.

    "A little ain`t enough" and all the albums afterwords sound fine.

    I think it`s about time we got all of Dave`s solo stuff reissued with digital remastering, bonus tracks, enhanced packaging and sleevenotes (something sadly missing from the CVH albums).

    How `bout it?

      I don't know Nick...wouldn't they have to buy the rights for those albums to remaster them...

      and let's face it...it's not like DLR's going to have a million people running to the stores to buy the albums...

        I think they do actually, I thought RHINO is owned by WARNER now?

        And I read on the internet earlier today that RHINO has put nearly every Mystery Science Theater 3000 on DVD, I think they can manage two or three CDs.

        RHINO seems to be on a mission to remaster almost anything.

        I actually wonder what it all means, the CD "remastering" thing that is...

        I read High Definition Compact Disc (HDCD), so I think they just update the recording to digital from the original source tapes using better transfer and compression technology. It probably costs little more than just re-issuing the old version...


        PS: RHINO was indeed bought by WARNER MUSIC GROUP...

              Eat 'em and smile could use a re-master or a gold cd release.

                  It's already here. I think every CD is recorded using an HDCD or equivalent...

                  All the VH remasters are HDCD, and WB/Rhino print the HDCD logo on the back.

                    Louder? Please, no. There is a stupid trend of compressing/limiting the absolute hell out of "remasters" these days. A lot of people actually go out and search for the early CDs because they sound BETTER. IMO, the early CDs sound about as good as they need to.

                    ALAE sounds quite different, but that's because of the BIG production. EEAS and Skyscraper simply don't have that kind of production. The DLR Best Of is probably how any remasters would sound (a little louder, though, and with less dynamics). IMO, that one sounds okay but it is a little harsh. The actual albums sound more natural.

                    It'd be nice to see really well mastered DLR albums, but I don't think they need it all that badly... and it's entirely possible that they'll be made much worse, soundwise, by any "remastering."

                      Looking beyond the stupidness of that comment, how many people buy lots of other...um..."cult" titles that get remastered?

                      The Yes and AC/DC (to name but two) back catalogues have been remastered TWICE.

                      There is money to be made and it`s surprising that noone is making it off the back of Dave`s albums.

                          I doubt anytime soon.

                          I mean, I'd certainly like to see it happen, but like Pojo said, there's not some huge section of the public clamoring begging for it.

                              Hey, with all respect to Uncle Dave, I WANT THE WARNER BROTHERS DEMOS REMASTERED FIRST!!!!!!!!

                              I mean "officially". I remastered them myself, as well as I could anyway.

                              God knows how many generations even a normal FLAC cd-r of those tapes is....probably be lucky if the very earliest generation on cd is 3rd or 4th....
