The Beach Boy's Surf's Up needs to be remastered IMHO. Problem is opinions may differ on their later stuff, I would buy it, any other takers? Actually that album has never been released on CD at all and it is an excellent recording. Just 100000000 versions and compliations of their early to mid 60's warhorses. It is difficult to find used record albums from the 60's that are in good shape. I have the Rolling Stones Hot Rocks album and would certainly welcome a CD remaster of it but the eary Rolling Stones were so very poorly recorded in the first place and I doubt if it would make too big a difference. The Doors were just remastered and there is a compliation of ALL their albums in one boxed set. I don't know who did it but a friend has it and I believe he said it is by BMG music service. Most rock and roll vinyl from the sixties is horendously recorded with few exceptions notably the Beatles. Peter Paul and Mary were always well recorded and I also would welcome a good remaster of their early albums, great group. SuperTramp albums always sounded good. Their "Crime of the Century" is about as good as it gets. I hope I contributed something to this thread other than the fact I like Surf's Up and 60's recorded music was VERY poorly done.

What deserves to be Remastered on CD?
Now I don't mean or want for this to become a digital vs. analogue discussion! I have a modest CD collection, around 300 titles, but all are the "best" recordings available. This being said, I have about a dozen or so CD's that haven't been remastered since I first bought them in the mid-80's! The difference between these early AD remasters and what's been produced in the last few years is astonishing! So lets hear it; what needs to be remastered in your CD collection? Some of my votes would include Peter, Paul & Mary, The Doors, The Who and many others! Too bad Mo-Fi isn't still around, they probably would have gotten to some these by now!
