From what I've read, before MFSL decides which albums to remaster, they first listen to the master tapes.
I'll post my impressions soon on Shake it Up, but will say early on, I'm kind of beside myself in just the difference in the S/T & Shake it Up.
I can only assume they made a deal to remaster all of them instead of individually.
Szell conducts Wagner - Tristan und Isolde, Die Meistersinge Von Nurnberg, Tannhauser. The Cleveland Orchestra.  Epic 1962 stereo
Slaw,
I'm thinking about using lighter fluid (on one of them) to see if it works. Obviously I'd sneak up on it & not go full guns off the bat.  What are your thoughts? 
Here are my impressions of The Cars "Shake it Up" domestic pre-barcode & MFSL.  Frankly, this will continue into my mini-review of The Cars "S/T" lp on those two issues..........

"Shake it Up" MFSL. After just comparing "S/T", I was flabbergasted as to my initial reaction on this lp comparing to "S/T"!  On "S/T", the volume level was @ 9:30 and that was irritating. The volume on "SIU" was at 11:30 and when I was talking to my imaginary listening partner, she could easily understand me. (ha ha)  Really wanted to turn it up, yet for this review, I stopped my initial reaction. The other notable thing, the SQ was way more analog, had way more 'soul'.

Now, the domestic "SIU". Had to decrease volume to 10:00 for a very enjoyable listening level. This lp really rocks all the way through. At the lower listening level I heard the MOFI through, I really wanted to turn it up. I felt the lower mid-bass to bass were a revelation waiting to happen. Maybe another time.
