@bkeske I had asked about the reissue Pere Ubu on Fire Records if they had been remastered.  You mentioned there was no indication either way on the jacket.

From Fire’s website:

“For this reworking, Paul Hamann at Suma has transferred from the original 2-track analogue mix tapes to digital at the highest resolution available which, is at least four times the resolution of the original. The tracks have carefully been re-mastered by sonic architect Brian Pyle so as to capture the unique qualities within.”

This would have been sometime before September 2017 as Paul died in mid-September.  

I haven’t picked up any of them yet to compare with the original pressings.

Welcome, Santana 1973
