If you could remaster three cd's...

#1- Bonnie Raitt, 1971 self titled. Recorded in a Minneapolis suburban garage with a huge band of Bonnie, Vocals, accoustir and slide guitar; Willie and the Bees ( piano, elect. guitar, drums, trumpet, baritone sax, flute, tenor sax) and Junior Wells, harmonica; A.C. Reed, tenor sax; Freebo ( of course), frettles base; Peter bell, electric guitar; Douglas "Toad" Spurgeon, trombone. This is and was Bonnie's very best recording with a mix of blues, pop and R&B. I would love to here whats under the tape hiss! #2 The album that forced me to upgrade my system the first time. Melissa Manchester 1973 "home tho myself". Her first album, and best I think, the first two songs " if it feels good (let it ride)" and "Easy" are audiophile material for sure! #3 John Mayall 1969 "turning point". What can I say, a classic. Has Jefferson Airplane "Surrealistic Pillow" been remastered? My original vinyl shows so much potential, it could be a true audiophile classic.

Mnmrmstd, you have excellent taste in music, my friend! [:)] The "Laid Back" cd is not the worst of engineering efforts, I would just like to see it in it's very best form as it is one of my all time favorites, as well. Anyone who is an Allman Bros fan and is not familiar with this album would do well to check it out. The sound is as it is titled, "Laid Back." (Used to get me through some rough mornings, in the old days.) There is also a 2 disc collection released in 1997 by Capricorn/Polygram (31452-9725-2), Gregg Allman, "One More Try: An Anthology" which has mostly previously unreleased tracts from many solo album and live sessions, (2 are from Laid Back,) and is a better mastering. If you don't have it, I'm sure you would enjoy several cuts. Happy New Year! Charlie

Mnmrmstd, email me about the Laid Back cd. I have some info for you. Charlie
