New Goats Head Soup

Here’s the DR on a few other GHS in my collection.

1994 Virgin remaster: 11 (10-12)
1986 CBS: 11 (10-11)
2009 UMG: 6 (5-7)
2013 HR Cutting (continuing from the 2002 ABKCO remaster program): 10 (9-11)

Bear in mind I’m only talking about DR not overall SQ. But to me low DR = bad sound.

Also the 2009 UMGs (for all releases) are generally thought to be the worst overall sounding of all the RS remastering programs.

Details. Look at the peak as well, all against the wall at -.2db. Hack job.

Lots of folks like the Virgins. I agree they're pretty good.

I like the resolution of the remaster program started in 2002 with Bob Ludwig but they can be a bit tizzy for some.

@jaybe  I am currently listening to disk 3. Is that live concert also messed up from your readings? It is hard to tell with concerts since they tend to be of average sound quality. Whatever, the case I am really getting into disk 3. Have not listened to disk 1 or 2.

@yyzsantabarbara Here’s the disc 3 readings. Yeah, still low. But at least it’s new material like disc 2 as well so worth the listen.
