If you could remaster three cd's...

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

I think we're getting mixed-up here. Firstly you can't expect either the U2 albums or Santanna albums to be remastered-one of them is just out. I think you mean re-mixed. This always puzzles me about recent recordings there seems to be a trend amongst people on this site that they are not very good.These two could be a good example since I haven't heard either-however the majority of new releases are well recorded imo. The 1st CSN&Y album has been remasterd as well. On another post somebody said the new Beatles remastered compilation was really bright. I now think 6 things 1.After listening to music(seriously) for 23 years,I no longer know what constitutes a good production. 2.Many Audiogon members should be record producers. 3. A lot of Audiogon members don't bother with any new music at all. 4.This thread is nonsense since the intial premise/question is wrong. 5.Why bother with the facts if you've got an opinion. 6.I won't get good votes on this
