If you could remaster three cd's...

There is a lot of great music out there, but some just sound like crap because of the recording quality, pressing, compression, etc. If you could have three of your favorite cd's remastered for better sound quality which ones would you pick? The new U2 is an excellent example of great music with terrible sound quality, ditto for Santana's Supernatural.

Thanks for the correction on the title, lost my copy of vinyl in the great flood of '93.

I just had one. A cd of Al Stewart "Year of the Cat". It sounded like a fifth generation recording on tape. Never knew why, it was a major label.

The Eagles hell freezes over. It would be nice to get a 24/96 of this by Mr. ludwig.

Top of mind: Joni Mitchell "Song to a Seagull", Jefferson Airplane "Volunteers", and Dave Liebman "Lookout Farm", but I'd settle for that last one just to be released on CD. None are great fidelity, so a little remastering improvement would be welcome.

Not only re-master, but provide CD's with a lower ERROR RATE. Remastering, by itself means little if the end product is cheapened. Anyone out there try listening to the RVG Blue Note remasters? Sure, they are better than the Capitol CD issues from the past, but they still aren't that great. To answer the original posting, I'd like to see the entire 1950's Blue Note catalog re-issued with the care and attention to detail that the original vinyl had. That would make me happy.
