Joni Mitchell remasters on the way

Mine are in transit.  Hissing is on my top ten list of best records, by anyone, ever.  Of course your tastes might be very different.  

The technical notes shows average of 12DR for all four albums which is pretty good. And Bernie’s is darn good at remastering albums. Enjoy them in 24bit/192kHz on Qobuz! 

Oh great, more remastered loudness. Sorry, all of those releases were originally mastered and mixed perfectly to begin with. Remastering is not even necessary in this case. Court and Spark on Asylum (1001-2) was the first CD I ever heard, and IMO, the original CD still sounds amazing to this day. 

I'm not one who believes that every -- or even most -- remasters make a difference. But some really do; and when you're talking about an artist like Joni, the chances are high this is being done with some care.

@tomcy6 Gonna fire up my streamer right now!

@rpeluso I think I could be swayed toward your approximation of Hissing!

@dpop "Remastered loudness." How you know that in advance is beyond me. And we will have to disagree about Miles of Aisles. If that sounds as good as it can be to your ears, well, we have different sensibilities.

@lalitk Glad to see you know some of the specifics about this release before pooh-poohing it. Details matter, don't they?

12DR sounds excellent and the listening I did this afternoon also sounded excellent.  I'm looking forward to giving them some quality listening time.
